Having a big pot of soup simmering on the stove. It has so much flavor that I can water it down a lot and enjoy a filling dinner for barely any calories.11
-
Eating protein at every meal and snack.8
-
I divided my most recent calorie budget by 3 to see what my meals should look like. That really helped me target a number that allowed me to have a mini cone. I was feeling rather dismayed by the new, lower budget, but breaking it down as I did helped a lot.5
-
Tazo Desert Tea6
-
A huge dinner with lots of veggies and chicken which filled me up and fit within my calorie goals for the day.6

Chloe Tings 2020 Shred as well as Homemade Chicken Soup (W/egg noodles) & meditation music.3

I changed the settings to show fibre as one of my key nutrients, rather than sodium.
I had noticed that I hardly ever get anywhere near my recommended daily amount of fibre.
By focussing on getting my fibre up without blowing my carbs/calories meant that I included significantly more plant based foods, like frozen peas, sweet potato and apples. As a result, I had meals that looked bigger on the plate, took longer to eat and I felt fuller afterwards.
I think this might be part of the key to weight loss for me.16 -

I ended up in the same place by showing "potassium" as one of my key nutrients. It works really well! I focus so much on getting enough potassium in a day, that I have that same full plate and I don't seem to notice losing the refined carbs.4 -
I ate a bit too much earlier so tonight I am having baked cabbage with some turkey bacon on top. Yum, and a great way to keep the calories down.6

Getting outside and walking with a friend. I feel great!
Icy roads kept me inside and walking alone this past week. Exercising indoors isn’t as much fun. And with a friend the duration is usually twice as long.7 -
A few things have really worked for me! I found a high fiber low carb tortilla that is 50 cal, and allows me to have tacos again. I put the meat with a bunch of veggies and no cheese, and enjoy. Another thing is the Built series of protein bars, preworkout gels and vitamin drinks - very tasty, very low sugar. And finally, I started sitting on an exercise ball. I don't feel so sluggish at the end of my workday.4

What worked for me is posting in this thread early in the day so that I'll feel accountable tonight when I want to watch Netflix and eat everything in the house4
-
I used an old trick on myself--go out for just 1 mile, and if it doesn't feel good, stop. About 90% of the time, it feels great, and I keep going. Today, I did. So I got in a jog when I wasn't "feeling it" initially.

Eating an apple really curbed my appetite and getting in even a 20 minute brisk walk can work up a sweat!6
-
Staying busy around the house extra cleaning plus carrying my water gallon along really helped today. Keped my deficit till the end of my day.4
-
talking to my friend on the phone while I was on my exercise bike and she walked her dog, then tidied her kitchen and started her dishwasher (we were both on ear-buds)5
-
deciding why I can do this rather than why I can't. Then drank water and more water until the next meal.11
-
Just "doing it"... exercise routine was harder today and I did it anyway.10
-
Putting on some loud heavy metal and banging out the training session....to music and a nice big mug o' tea....6
-
Reminding myself that nothing tastes as good as thin feels9
