breakfast...scrambled egg whites, turkey bacon, toast with old farmhouse chutney

ehh...just go to the gym. and then keep going. hopefully your need to change your appearance for others will morph into a desire to keep getting stronger for yourself. that is what is going to keep you going and that is what is going to give you confidence. also? you will no longer care about those other people...

Last night's toast was topped with goat cheese and roasted garlic/onion jam

i always have two breakfasts! i wake up at 5; exercise; breakfast #1 at 6ish; go to work. then i am hungry again usually around 9:30 so i eat again. my cals fit into my day and i don't do hungry, so...yeah...two breakfasts. works for me!

andddd this just happened to me. twice in the last two days i have been asked if i have been sick. :neutral: i eat two breakfasts and two lunches and have dessert every day. it was apparently ok to be a size 16, but now that i am a size 4, i am unhealthy? it makes me feel very uncomfortable and i have no idea how to…

i eat it almost every day, mostly roasted. i mixed the roasted cubes with sautéd kale for my side tonight. think of how you would use a sweet potato, and sub the butternut. delish! lately i have been loving roasted bnut cubes on a tortilla with green chilis and cheese, maybe some black beans if i am feeling feisty. squeeze…

yes! also? i feel a tiny bit like a moron that it took me this long to catch on... :expressionless:

thanks!

I am chained to my desk during the week! I aim for 12-15k steps a day (usually by the time I get home) and I Zumba twice a week. Some days are easier than others!

i was cruising along just fine today until about 2pm(ish). i had 12k steps give or take when suddenly my iPhone mfp said i had 25k. still says that but my cals are about right for my accurate steps. i am assuming it will right itself soon. i have a flex.

my goal is 1500, sometimes i eat more, sometimes less. my diary is open to friends - the more the merrier! :smiley:

i tend to order appetizers for my meal. they are the right size for me and i don't have to worry about leftovers. also leaves room for the most important part...dessert!

without fail, i order a tamale with my meal when i go to a mexican restaurant. i luff them so...

logging is time consuming at first, and it takes a while to get it right. but if you keep at it, you'll get there. also, slow down and dont try to tackle everyting at once; that only leads to frustration. maybe stick with eating less and logging for now. and then, when you feel more confident, worry about your macros. (i…

i picked a clothing size that looked/sounded reasonable to me for my age and lifestyle. i am now at that size and the next size smaller and feel okay. i am still a work in progress though. now that i have the 55 pounds off, i am working on my fitness. :smile:

i have a little dessert every day. i fit it into my goals and it gives me something to look forward to!

once upon a time i would have said my hips and thighs, but now, i'm not really curvy anymore. what is really bothering me is my CALVES, which i can do nothing about. it is crazy that if i buy a slim, my pants are now too big in the waist, hips and bum and too tight in the calves. ehh...as problems go, its not really a bad…

i'm here every day and always looking for new peeps! anyone is welcome to add me.

dark chocolate klondike bar because it was a coworkers birthday and...you know...we celebrate...

some days, it's not easy...but i try to get some steps in before i get to the office and i get up and move around during the day...it not only adds steps, it also clears my mind! if i can, i will eat my lunch at my desk, then take a walk during my break. i agree about the small deficit...accuracy is so important and so is…

i had a doh! moment last week. son came home from college and we were in target. i was paying for his loot and he asked if i wanted anything from starbucks. it was cold so i said yeah, get me something skinny. so he chose a skinny white chocolate mocha. i drank it. enjoyed it. later logged it. all 350 'skinny' cals...it…

i fight (and lose) a daily battle with hydration and have pretty much given up. there was a recent thread about counting all liquids which i had never heard of before and it still feels somewhat like cheating, but, hey, if it brings, me closer to that elusive number of ounces, why not...
