    So I watch my calories and hit my macros. I also:

    - don't look at my sodium...ever
    - exercise whenever I can fit it in, which is usually after my 1 year old is in bed at night
    - eat bread of any colour
    - eat cheese of any kind
    - eat things that come out of boxes and packets
    - have experimented with intermittent fasting
    - never log my water, though I do carry around a 1.5l bottle
    - eat fast food when I want
    - eat chocolate every.single.night
    - rarely eat fruit beyond a banana a day
    - does peanut butter count as eating nuts??

    *looks at ticker*

    You don't need rules and regulations. You just need to log accurately and honestly. Create a deficit. Hit your macros if that's what you wanna do.

    I'm glad for your ticker, and I see that you decided to do a change in your lifestyle, but what works for you wouldn't work for me.
    Loosing with healthier choices was the lifestyle change I choose to do, cause I want to avoid to lose lean muscle, since I only have 11lbs to loose, and if I keep putting carbs in my body I probably won't eliminate the fat that I want to reduce....I have lazy bowel (need to eat my fibers), I have water retention (reason to avoid sodium)...
    One of the first things I mentioned was that where only suggestions....this are things that are working for me...
    Also, healthier food will probably improve her "spirit", cause the "guilt" from eating a cheeseburger is totally different from eating some grilled fish with veggies... I know my body now rejects the fast food... :happy:

    My body rejects crap, mostly. You know, waste. Not perfectly good food.

    Who said pp isn't preserving muscle? I preserved my lean mass doing everything you just suggested OP not do so... it seems all those things are irrelevant. Carbs aren't going to stop you from losing fat. ..I've reduced my body fat from over 31% to 17% by balancing my macros and micros, NOT demonizing foods (I eat copious amounts of sugar, typically in the form of ice cream and fast foods), moderate calorie deficit, and weight lifting.

    Let's keep this simple, shall we.

    Do things your own way but do not over complicate things for other people unnecessarily. If you feel the need to never put parmesan cheese on your lasagna again (though I doubt you eat it), fine. But there's no reason for anyone else to. Those things only work for you because by eliminating, demonizing, and over complicating you're creating a calorie deficit.

    Let's keep it simple...we are all different...what works for you may not work for me, but this wasn't about you or me, was about her! :flowerforyou:

    Let me get this straight.

    You're well aware this post is about someone else but proceed with your dribble about what works for you? Pahahah. K. Carry on.

    Checked out your diary. Your diet is mostly carbs. You eat more calories than I do and I'm 6'1" 205lbs. Are you even trying?

    Eat less food. Eat more veggies and protein and fat and less carbs. Stop eating bread and biscuits and cereal. This **** isn't rocket science.

    I'm doing the Brazilian Butt Lift, there are MANY programs though, and joined a challenge group at the end of April. It has kept me accountable, motivated me, inspired me, and given great clean eating tips/recipes. I decided I would start hosting challenge groups. Let me know if you are interested! These are PROVEN to work programs with money back guarantee at the end of 30 days if you don't see results. Promise if you follow meals and complete the workouts, you WILL see change!

    I looked at your diary. Many days you have no entries or use "quick add calories"

    1. Accurately log your intake
    2. If your intake is less than your TDEE you will lose weight over time

    If you think you are in a deficit and are not losing weight you are either incorrectly estimating caloric intake or your TDEE.

    I am glad to hear you are working out regularly. Exercise has numerous benefits other than just weight loss. Good luck!
