WOW
I have been needing to buy new clothes for a while but was waiting for the new dress code to come down at work. Well it finally did, so I went shopping, hoping to find something in the store that would fit. I have been shopping online for clothes for so long, I was a bit worried I wouldn't find anything in my size. I was a…

Hard Boiled Eggs
OK, what am I doing wrong? I can't peel an egg without it falling apart. I've heard to let them cool before you peel them, I've heard to peel them when warm... Different times to cook them for... I'm looking for a quick easy snack, eggs seem to be good for this... So, what do you do?

Ugh
Ugh, so this is where I am at. I have lost 50 lbs, and am very proud of it. I feel TONS better physically and mentally... MFP has been good for me, however.... I have been playing with the same 10 pounds for like 3 months, I still have over 130 lbs to lose overall. I am just getting frustrated. I have lost interest in…

Egg Yolks

As weight comes off...
Is there something you look forward to being able to do as weight comes off, that you haven't been able to do since gaining weight? For me, I look forward to being able to cross my legs when I sit again.

Have you ever?
I am going to have a very hectic next couple of weeks. It will not have time for my usual exercise routine (swimming), which allows me to eat more calories for the day :) I will be on the go quite a bit and will not be as able to accurately track my calories. I still plan to log daily, but will not have the usual healthy…

Calorie Confirmations?
I am assuming I am doing something wrong here. When searching the MFP database for correct calorie counts, I have a very hard time coming up with an entry that has a higher number of confirmations. I have seen people post the one about chicken and it having like 2000 confirmations... Most of them I can hardly find 50…

Finally!

15 Bean Soup
Hey all, I was entering a recipe into MFP and was wondering about something. I entered in the Pork Hock it was almost 2000 calories..... If I am not eating the actual meat from it, but am using it only for flavoring, Do i need to count it still or? Is there really that many calories int he hock that I will consume? Never…

exercise calories burned
I've got two questions please... 1. When logging exercise on MFP, and it shows you the calories burned, does it take into consideration your weight? 2. I've heard MFP is a little off with calories burned, so only to eat back 50 -75 % of what it says you burned. Sound right? Thanks

Cabbage
I Just bought a head of cabbage. I was looking for something different as a side dish, or maybe a meal with cabbage. Any ideas out there that are not too time consuming?
-
How it's made?
I've been searching the database for different things this weekend. Noticing of course that calories differ depending on how they are cooked. ie angus steak burger 1/3 lb 330 calories, 220 when grilled? Can there really be that much difference in grilling instead of say pan frying? I just want my logging to be accurate....…

Veggie Seasoning
Is there a "veggie seasoning" out there that I can sprinkle on my broccoli/cauliflower to give it a bit more flavor. I am looking for something to use instead of butter. I thought years ago I had bought something like that, but have not been able to find anything recently. Perhaps i'm looking in the wrong place? Any ideas…
-
Is it time?
When I started this journey a few months ago, I was told not to make too many changes at once. I concentrated just on calories in vs calories out. I was going for a loss of 1 lb a week, and was doing well. I recently changed it to 1.5 lbs a week, as a trial time I guess to see if I can do it with the lesser amount of…

Before or After
Do you weight your fruits before or after you peel/core it?

Tracking calories burned...
I have read that MFP really over estimates the calories burned for exercising. Does anyone have a better way to keep track of my exercise. I don't want to eat back more calories than I should. I do not have any gadgets that keep track. Is there a more accurate place to check my numbers? Thanks!

Help with food list please
Is there a way to delete some of the items that come up for my "add food" list. It's a lot to read through. I have multiple entries for the same item and would like to condense list. The only place I see a delete item from list is under the frequent tab?

Cheat Day
After a month of this new lifestyle, I decided last week to have a cheat day, I was just going to eat whatever I wanted for that day and not even log it. Eat I did, whatever I wanted. Even splurged and had cake for dessert. Felt all kinds of guilty afterwards. So, curiosity got the best of me and I had to log... I was…

Food Scale
Can anyone recommend a good food scale. What options should I look for?
-
To butter or not to butter...
Is there a healthy substitute for real butter? I've always used real butter, love the taste of it I suppose. It's just quite high in calories, anyone have any ideas on a healthy/tasty substitution?
-
Didn't think I would miss it.
I've been at this new lifestyle for about a month now. I've been swimming 3-5 days a week for an hour or so. Really good exercise for me. I have feet and back issues and so swimming allows me the workout I need without the pain. My problem this week.... the pool where I swim has been closed all week due to the extreme cold…

Too few calories?
Is it possible to eat too few calories per day... I've heard that my body will store all that I give it if I cut too much too fast. I've been at this new lifestyle for a couple weeks now and feel I am doing well. I usually have between 500 and 1000 calories available at the end of my day. I am eating much healthier foods…
