All the best. I agree, between this app and your friends list, it holds you more accountable.

I never had it with garlic. It's a Thai rice with almost a nutty aroma. Very sweet tasting.

The white vs. brown rice thing is absurd. There is such a small difference in nutritional value, so just eat what you like. I personally LOVE Jasmine rice.

Accurately (and honestly) tracking calories, along with consistency will render success. Keep it up! Everyone has bad weeks, but you still LOST. Keep a positive attitude.

Widen your stance, and push from your heels. That will take pressure off your knees. If you find yourself pushing with your toes, it will really hurt your knees. Squats are fine for people with bad knees. Just ease into the weight, and you'll be fine.

Akron, OH here!

I never cared for the inaccuracy of labels. I just log the labels, exercise and tweak as I see fit.

Ah, I understand now. I guess if you look at the week average, and the weight is coming off consistently, then keep at it.

All the best! Keep up the progress!

I'm 5'8" at 200lbs. and I lose weight at 2,200 calories a day. You need to find a safe range where you can steadily lose weight (.5 to 1lbs.) every week and still feel good. If you want to up your calories, then try and be more active. Honestly though, you need to focus on your willpower and your craving habits. How I…

Your calorie intake is all over the place. You need to be much more consistent. As for your nutrition, it's an unrealistic amount for someone as active as you. The one Thursday, it looks like you had 200 calories for the day. Or am I reading it wrong?

Sent. All the best on your journey!

Awesome! I agree. Between the app and friends, it holds you a bit more accountable.

All the best! I love running for cardio. I also don't believe it eats away at your muscle.

Exactly. Going from 2,300 calories a day, down to 1,500 is not good for you. Ease your way down, and find a range that fits. 1,500 calories a day for a man that exercises is not enough. Consistency is the key. Best of luck!

With your exercising, you need to eat more. That's a very unhealthy number for someone active like you.

My go to for easy calories and fullness is any item higher in carbs- oatmeal (with almond butter), rice, pasta, sweet potatoes, etc.

That's honestly where you'll find some results. Try and plan ahead. That always helps me.

"fat free" dressing always has a ton of calories. Your diary shows what you're eating and where you're going wrong. You're eating foods high in calories. Plain and simple. Find better choice meats and dressings. And plan ahead! All the best.

You're diet is all over the place. Sometimes you're under by 200 calories, and other days your over by 700. Consistency is the key.

I've worn a chest strap for quite some time, for both weight training and cardio. Never had one issue with wearing it.

For someone that weighs 230lbs., that is a realistic number.

Just get whatever tastes good to you and fit it into your macros. I've been on a Cellucor Smores protein kick for the past few months.

Open up that diary for us to see. I do see you've already lost 31lbs. Now you're at a plateau? Time to switch things up.

Make sure you're well hydrated BEFORE you workout. Also, try and focus your carbs around your workout. See if that helps.

I can't tell you the difference my logging made when I started weighing everything out by the gram instead of the cup size. I was definitely over on my tracking.
