Make your own. These crusts are awesome and pretty low-cal: http://www.flatoutbread.com/products/thin-crust-artisan-pizza/

iPad and Netflix and just run. Don't think about it so much.

I get this if I eat old-fashioned style. I use quick oats instead. No macro difference.

Thank you - very helpful!

It's almost the end of October, but I'll throw a few out there. - Is it okay to deadlift in squat shoes (like raised heel)? I feel kind of stupid asking this, tbh. But I'm still dealing with lower back pain on "heavier" squats. I think it's some combination of minor form issues / not tightening my abs / and not firing my…

Practice and patience.

Impossible to say. Will knowing change your response?

Thanks - I did fix that a while back. I actually have tracking turned off for my phone all together in the privacy settings. I heard from the MFP support that there are some health sync errors that can cause this. And now that OS2 came out, the MFP website is showing my tracked workouts a bunch of times.

Yes - I took pictures in a bikini on day 1 and about every 1-2 months after in the same bikini, same mirror, some poses - front/side/back. I just keep them for me and refer to them often to remember the progress I've made. And there are months where the scale only changed minimally, but i could see the changes in the…

I also use "other" as well. I love my Apple Watch but I do think the calorie counts are too high. I've compensated by reducing my MFP calorie target.

For your chicken/veg/rice dishes - do you freeze? Or refrigerator? And is there a secret to reheating chicken? I always feel like the texture and smell is weird when reheated.

Patience.

I made going to the gym, at all, a habit by finding time in the evenings after my kids went to bed for the first seven months. When I decided to switch to mornings it was easy because going isn't even a question anymore - just part of my life now. And go to bed early. Of course.

Agree with the above - sometimes growth spurts happen out of sequence- extra fat, then height. Maybe instead of driving the message about food you look at why she's snacking? What is she doing during those times where she reaches for a snack? Bored in front is the TV and needs something better to do? Looking for a…

Are you on a hard level floor? Are you standing in the exact same spot? Battery change? And why are you stepping on it multiple times anyway? Just weigh once and go...I think every scale is going to have a spread to some degree across multiple readings.

You can't really use your BMR alone since it doesn't take into account activity. Either find a TDEE calculator or use MFP guided system. And then use your BMR to sanity check against the calculations from your chosen tool. Or don't and just try a calorie goal for a few weeks and adjust as needed.

Decide what is harder - eating less/exercising or your current state. And if you decide your current state is harder then stop entertaining all the excuses and be creative in ways to make it work - different types of exercises, different foods, etc.

Are you taking pictures every 4-8 weeks? 10 pounds will be noticeable in pictures but not in a mirror when you can't accurately remember what you looked like prior. I started at 167-ish and am 144 now. I take pics every month - same mirror/pose/angle/swimsuit. It's a huge motivation to create side-by-sides just for me.
-
If something like that matters, he shouldn't matter! It would be a good test of character - tell him!
-
You could try intermittent fasting. I did great losing my first 30 - very little hunger. Now, skipping breakfast and doing a 16:8 is the only way I can swing a deficit to lose this last 10.
-
You can try a mixed grip too. And make sure that you're gripping correctly - the bar contact should be on the lines where finger meets palm, not on the palm squeezing that little pad where callouses develop.
-
I'm 5'5 and have went from 170 post-pregnancy to 145 current and the only loose skin I have is related to my pregnancies, and it's very minimal. Still need to lose 10 though.
-
I did night workouts for 6 months before I switched to mornings. Being in the habit already has been a key factor for me. It's not a question of being too tired, I just go. And second, getting to bed early is key, and also very sad because I want to stay up late! :)

Different scales. Clothes? Different time of day? All those could add up to 12 pounds.
-
I think SL haters forget it's a beginner program. I did it for 7 months with great success when I started MFP. I lost the weight I wanted to, learned the main lifts, gained a lot of strength and built confidence in the weight room. The simplicity of the program makes it very accessible which is pretty important for noobs…

Single serve tuna packets in a tortilla with cheese and/or spinach. Cottage cheese on an English muffin. Hard boiled eggs. Sometimes yolk is swapped for hummus. Egg muffins - make ahead and freeze them with whatever ingredients- turkey sausage, cheese, veggies or whatever. Overnight oats. Mini turkey meatloaf "muffins"…

Why are you in a deficit at 113 lbs / 5'8?

I have an almost 4-yr old and 19-month old. I committed to weight loss and exercise when my littlest turned one when the baby weight excuse expired. :) I started by going to the gym after they were both in bed. Got sick of that a month ago and switched to mornings. I'm up at 4:30 now. It has been way easier to get up in…
