NSV and SV - I traveled and didn't gain!
I had to go out of town on a 3 day business trip and was really dreading it, mostly because I am fat adapted, knew I wouldn't have complete control over what I would eat while traveling, and didn't want to go back to being hungry all the time. - There was a huge HUGE breakfast bar at the hotel but it was 95% carbs. I was…

Karma intervened
I have some weird bug today so I decided to listen to my body on what to eat even if it’s carby, just for today. This afternoon I slept for 4 hours and my husband woke me up. We decided to order food. I ordered a club sandwich and fries for delivery. We waited over an hour, then called the place only to find out that due…

Your favorite Netrition purchases?
I'm putting together a basket from there. So far I have some sugar free syrups in there (Da Vinci Pumpkin Pie and Toasted Marshmallow). I also have black soy beans because I can't find them locally. What other items do you buy from there?

What does a day look like for you?
I'm sure this has been done before, but I crave new posts to read so I'm just going to put this out there. I gain a lot of inspiration from seeing what other people eat. My situation: doctor told me to eat less than 100 carbs a day because my triglycerides are high. I'm aiming for 50-60 and 1600 calories. So I'm not keto…

New food scale
Hey guys, I want to get a new scale. Can anyone recommend what you have and hopefully love? The biggest issues I am looking to rectify from my current scale are: - If I put my plate on the scale and try to weigh items using the tare function, the plate obscures the display. Ideally I want one where I can see the display,…

Back after 27 months
I was a regular here a couple of years ago. MFP tells me it has been 27 months. And, if I do the math, that is exactly right. I went into a deep depression when my older daughter left for college, and went from losing weight and exercising regularly to just trying to get motivated enough to get out of bed in the morning.…

Show me your scale and tell me why you love it!
I have a scale, but I don't love it, and I find that it's a little hard to read. So, I am looking for a new one. There are lots on Amazon with good reviews. Can you tell me what you like and why? For example, flat top or with a bowl included, etc?

Could this be right?
Hi guys, I'm taking a class at a local university, and I'm here for a long time. So I have lunch here. The food services are really good about posting the calories associated with each food item, but I'm having a hard time with this one. It's a chicken salad wrap, and they say it's 258 calories. But, the flour tortilla is…

Which spiralizer?
I have looked at several online, and some are like a machine with a crank, others are hand held. Which do you like and why?

Home elliptical machine
I am considering purchasing one. Nothing flimsy or rinky dink, also don't want to spend $500+ on it. I see lots on Craig's list but don't know what to look for or what brands are good. Any advice?

Whole Living magazine?
Does anyone read this, and is it any good? I found a deal where a year's subscription is $3.99 and that sounds like a good deal, as long as it's worth reading.

Does anyone else get really tired of that banana ad with "Five foods you must not eat" on it? Argh!

I feel like I just blew my diet...
...but I didn't! Yesterday we bought the ice cream attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer. Today I made frozen yogurt. It's very similar to Pinkberry's original flavor. 3 cups Fage 0% 3/4 cup Splenda or equivalent sweetener of choice 1t vanilla I sliced up a few strawberries on top when it was done and it tastes so decadent!…
