Like anything else...if you take it away completely and you are craving it, you will binge eat it. Work it in with moderation - a single Hershey kiss is fine. I switched to very dark chocolate to get some health benefits too, but I have a small piece regularly. I don't crave it like I use to. Craving sweets is usually an…

For protein - any lean meat - boneless, skinless chicken or very lean beef is good. I don't eat a lot of pork, so can't speak to that. Fish and eggs are good. Quinoa is a good protein. I also eat a lot of lentils and black beans.

Exactly! I exercise daily - running, swimming, yoga, walking, strength training, biking...I never eat ALL of my calories back, as I am losing right now. If I am under about 1000 calorie burn for the day, I don't eat anything back. Over 1000, I usually eat back 200-300 calories. I fuel before, during , and after my workouts…

I have a pair of Vionic flip flops and I LOVE them!! Hope yours work for you!

I use MFP to log it. I usually do 60 mins of strength training a couple times a week. I log it as cardio (mostly because I don't want to list each single exercise and repeats) - 300 cals burned for 60 mins (This was on the advise of my coach, as this would be the average calorie burn if I were to list everything out and do…

If you don't mind the pool, hop in and swim laps. It's really good cardio and non-impact (you will be stretching your fascia without even realizing it) and BONUS - it's an amazing calorie burn whne you get your heart rate up! PF is very painful and different things help different people. When I had it, I tried the usual…

With alcohol - vodka and mineral water with lime or a glass of red wine. Non-alcohol - mineral water with lime

Ok - just peeked at your diary...you might want to watch your sodium levels. They are high for the days you have entered in your food. This might be cause for some water retention and therefore the scale not reflecting a loss. But you know your body best... Continue entering your food with consistency, watching sodium, and…

Your diary is not open, so can't peek there to give advise. A 1-2 pound weight loss per week ON AVERAGE (usually a pound per week on average) is good and lasting. Means you are losing correctly for the long term. There are many factors affecting weight loss - age/hormones, exercise, and certainly calories in and out. I…

Yes!! I completely agree. Weight loss is definitely a mental process...Counseling would be a better place to start to get your head wrapped around what is driving your depression, fear of foods, and not wanting to leave your home. You will likely set yourself up for failure with trying to change your eating habits until…

Depends on what your overall goal is. I do not eat mine back. I average around 1200 cals per day with food intake. This way I am able to lose 1-2 lbs weekly. I had to play around with it. If I up it to 1400, I do not lose. I eat very healthy and exercise 6 days a week (running, walking, biking, etc). My coach said 1200…

Mine is syncing just fine with Training Peaks....

Had it last year from running...I tried almost everything out there to get rid of it, but what actually helped was wearing Birkenstocks, rolling my calves, and using a hard ribbed roller under my foot (rolling it back and forth). Took about 6 weeks, but it has stayed gone completely!

I've been buying Bolthouse Farms greek yogurt dressings - usually around 40-45 cals per 2 tbsp. Very flavorfull!

We have a Tfal actifry that we use all the time to make chicken. We don't add any oil. Just cut up boneless chicken breast into bite size pieces, add hot sauce, and spin them around. Just like boneless chicken wings, but no deep frying!

I eat right around 1200 per day. I run, walk, bike, or swim 6 days a week at a moderate to high intensity, so I burn a lot of calories. I do not eat the calories back per recommendation of my coach. I fond that if I eat 1200 ish, I lose. If I increase my calories I stay the same. So for me it works to not eat the exercise…

Everyday, I use Coach's Oats Steel Cut Oats. I cook 1 cup water and 1/3 cup oats for about 5 min. I add in 1 tsp of local honey (for nutrients and allergies), 1/4 tsp organic cinnamon (for anti inflammatory properties), and 1/2 c blueberries (anti inflammatory, anti oxidant, and nutrients). It is plenty sweet and the…

You are fit enough now to start a walk program. Set some goals for yourself - maybe a 1/2 mile to start. Walking is the best way to get moving. Running will come with time, but walk first. Get you body used to moving, getting your heart rate up, and being active on a schedule. Once it is used to that, you will know when…

None! Have treats and sweets only occasionally and in moderation. "Cheat days" follows the thinking that you get on day to pig out - and that your are depriving yourself, then you eat more on a "cheat day". Just eat well and healthy and have these things in moderation once in awhile. If you are exercising regularly then…

Water is best for hydration. There is no nutritional value in soda at all, but it is loaded with other junk. I personally do have a strong reaction to artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame. That's a person choice based on what you believe or how your body responds. My two cents would be - why put chemicals and crap…

You first have to figure out why you eat the way you do - are you an emotional eater? Do you eat junk because it's easier? Cost? When you figure that out, it is easier to better understand when and how you will be drawn to those foods and create a plan for different behavior. Figure out the why, then focus on the what.…

The best jump start you can do for yourself is to dig deep, find your motivation and get back at it. You did it before, so you can do it again. It's simply a decision, nothing more. Then everyday, it's a series of little decisions all day long to keep moving in the right direction. Soon, what was once a challenge to do…

1200 good calories and 1200 bad calories are not the same thing! Yes, calories in, calories out, but.... Your body needs what you get from good calories for healthy functioning. You might still lose a little eating bad foods, but your body will suffer in other ways - not feeling satisfied - leading to over eating and /or…

It would certainly be beneficial to see a doctor again for sure and have some tests run. In looking at your food diary for the past month, you also have lots of nutritional deficiency's, which could lead to weight gain, hair loss, etc. You have many entries for the month that lack breakfast and/or lunch nutrition. "Kind"…

Couple of things that have worked for me...I aim for 1200 calories per day when I am trying to lose. I've learned that 1400 keeps me maintaining, not losing. That little bit makes a difference. I run, walk, strength train, swim, etc 6 times a week for 45-60 min each day - I usually fuel with a banana pre-workout. Even…
