    Hello!
    Here's my stats:
    Height: 5'6"
    Age: 30
    April starting weight: 186.2 lbs.
    April goal weight: 184 lbs.
    Ulitimate Goal Weight: 154 lbs.
    This month, I plan to eat more at home and within my calorie goal, walk at least 1x week, and drink more water daily.

    4/1/22: 186.2 lbs
    4/2/22: 186.8 lbs / Yesterday, I went over my calorie goal, drank lots of water, and exercised focused on legs.
    4/3/22: 186.6 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and exercised focused on arms. Very bloated due to my monthly visitor.
    4/4/22: 186.2 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and drank lots of water. Rest day with no exercise.
    4/5/22: 186.0 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I felt unusually low energy and skipped my planned exercise.
    4/6/22: 185.6 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and drank my planned quantity of water. No exercise again.
    4/7/22: 185.2 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie and water goals. More activity but no formal exercise.
    4/8/22: 185.4 lbs. / Yesterday, I went slightly over my calorie goal, exercised focused on lower body, and went on my weekly walk. Not enough water given my activity level.
    4/9/22: 185.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal but did not drink enough water or exercise.
    4/10/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal even though I ate a lot of junk foods. I did not drink enough water or exercise. Hopefully, I can turn the upward trend around.
    4/11/22: 186.2 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and rested as planned.
    4/12/22:: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal but struggled in other areas. My mood was low.
    4/13/22: 186.2 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal, drank water, and went on a long walk.

    @MsMcClane - I feel ya! It takes my body weeks and weeks before my body adjusts to the changes. On those days that I feel "empty", I try to much on carrot sticks. I also love making kale chips. A quick turkey and cheese roll up is also low on calories and helps fill me up. But there are certain food that I still feel deprived when we eat, and I think it is because those foods bring me the most pleasure when I eat them, such as buttery rice with hot sauce and pizza. When those on are the menu, I eat my serving first and then load up on a salad and water to start the satiation clock in my belly. I usually still feel the craving and end up getting a small second helping. It is still hard, but I have made some progress!

    Height: 5'6" Age: 52
    April goal: 195
    UGW: 145


    3/31 - 198.4 planning a treadmill walk and logging food choices
    4/1 - 198.0 rest day, dinner out with my husband and not sure where we're going yet but plan is a hunk o'meat + veg.
    4/2 - 197.8 no exercise
    4/3 - 197.4 3.5 mile run/walk with my son, we managed to beat the rain. Lunch out (salmon, broccoli, salad); dinner was a big mac salad (lettuce, spinach, ketchup, mustard, ranch, hamburger patty & swiss)
    4/4 - 199.9 ??????????? chili soup for dinner (hamburger, 3 rinsed cans of different beans, vegetable juice, 2 can of tomatoes+chiles, cauliflower rice, and add avocado when serving). It's raining and 45 today, so I'll be putting a few miles on the treadmill instead of outside.
    4/5 - ??
    4/6 - ? ran/walked 3 miles w/ son, then walked dogs another mile
    4/7 - ? walked 2 miles w/ dogs
    4/8 - 199.9 I'm sure I've been making entries but perhaps I don't manage to actually post? Sorry I've been MIA again. Cold, rainy/slushy mix here in Indiana today, makes my ankle hurt (probably arthritis). Taking a rest day, will make smart food choices. Today is my 31 year anniversary with my employer...yikes that makes me feel really old!
    4/12 - 200.0 ran/walked 3.5 miles with my son, walked another 2 miles with the dogs.
    4/13 - 201.0 ? water retention from the exercise yesterday?
    4/14 -
    4/15 -
    4/16 -
    4/17 -

    It is cool that you are plant based.
    You were inquiring about what would be filling within that mode of eating. Well...
    Beans Beans, they're good for your heart they make you...heehee.
    Seriously, they are very filling. 1/4 cup added into every meal does not pack a lot of calories.
    I really don't eat enough of them, but I buy the unsalted kind for when I do.

    Wow, really clean eating. Bravo.
    I guess that you have to eat so healthy to sustain those workouts.
