Do you count fruits and veggies?
Hello all! I’m wondering if I should count my fruits and veggies in with my calories. When I did WW freestyle, we didn’t count fruits and vegetables, only the items they were cooked with or eaten with. I usually have them as a small side or for a snack.

Extra Protein
Hi friends! So in the morning I like to have a bowl of regular oatmeal and I add a tablespoon of peanut butter and a half/one tablespoon of honey for some sweetness, but I’m looking for ideas to add some extra protein in it to help fill me up.

Weighing down to the grams
So one thing I've noticed is a lot of people discussing that they weigh their foods, do any of you think this is 100% necessary?

Controlling Hunger
Hello all! I'm a brand new member to MFP but not new to the challenge of weight loss. One of my biggest set backs is trying to control my hunger. I have a problem of over-eating (like eating an entire footlong sub in one sitting!) and I guess my body is just used to this lifestyle. Even though I'm only on day four of my…
