Xtreme Wellness tortillas- BEWARE!!
I bought the Xtreme Wellness tortillas because the packaging said only 71 calories per tortilla (high fiber, low carb). I checked the website for some recipe ideas, and low and behold- the real deal. These tortillas have 110 calories each! I contacted the company about the discrepancy and they were very non-chalant and…

Here's some motivation: STOP WHINING
I'm not sure what it is today, but I'm rather sick of the Whiners today. "I've been exercising and dieting for 2 months and I've only lost X pounds". Well, guess what?

Helloitsdan Fans. I have a question
I know he gets bombarded. I just have a simple question that anyone who's been following the F2F plan can answer... Do I just set my MFP calories to the number I was given after I did all the calculations?

Replacing peanut butter... ideas?
Currently I'm in love with an apple cut into wedges and smearing it with peanut butter. Or I also like peanut butter on my rice cake. Even though I adore it, the cals/ fat is just too much of a wallop. Any ideas of what to use as a sweet- salty snack rather than peanut butter?

Reverse Calorie Counting- does anyone else do this?
If I know I'm going out to dinner, I budget in (and already log into MFP) the calories for the meal so I know what I have for the rest of the day leading up to dinner. Anyone else count calories in reverse like that? Going to Texas Roadhouse tonight for (belated) Valentine's, so I already logged what I'm going to eat (for…
