It is always going out to eat. Always. And eating at a friends house. I just don't have the control. So I can totally relate.

I know exactly how you feel. It's almost a daily struggle for me and has been for many years. This time around I've lost about 30lbs and still have ultimately 40lbs to go to be at my goal. There are definitely times where I feel awful about myself. Then I realize that 30lbs ago I was so much worse. I just try to get back…

Another way I like to eat it is on toast or a rice cake drizzled with sriracha sauce. It's just a really good combo to me.
-
That sounds really good!!
-
I absolutely love avocado. To the point of eating it with a fork and a little salt. Lol.
-
That sounds SO delicious! I'll have to try that some day. Yesterday I had a peanut butter, pear and Isopure creamy vanilla protein powder shake with ice...man that was so good. Congrats on your success! I can do 5k at a time at the most right now. I've got at least 30lbs to lose before I'm in the healthy weight range for…

I seriously cringe to think how much money I have wasted on WW since I was 17 years old. I restarted their program four times. FOUR. Then I discovered MFP, which is FREE, and have pretty great success in the past 6 months. WW helped me most the first time I did it. After that? I just wasn't dedicated and I was throwing…

Awesome, thanks so much for sharing!!

[/quote] Ok, that makes sense and I figured as much. Thank you very much for the reply!

That's what I'm thinking. I don't necessarily want to build any MORE muscle right now, I just don't want to lose what I have already...though I feel like that will happen regardless as I lose weight. That's just naturally how the body works? It's not just fat or water weight, it's also a little muscle too. And I'm sure my…

[/quote] But I'm sure exercise while in a calorie deficit certainly helps, right? I want to lose weight but I also want to lose fat, without losing muscle. Is that even possible? Or do I need to focus on weight loss first to get to an appropriate weight for my weight, then focus on fat loss and muscle building? I feel like…

I want to lose weight and lose fat but I also want to keep the muscle I've gained, which is why my weight is still as much as it is. I know no one sees the number on the scale but I do and I know I'm still 30lbs overweight. So I'm not sure if I should focus on just cardio while being in a calorie deficit to lose weight…

Thank you all for your responses.
-
I know exactly how you feel. I've had good success so far...then when I look at a picture of myself? I feel like I've accomplished nothing. All I can say, even for myself, is to just keep going. Keep trying. Because I certainly don't want to gain or stay the same, and neither do you I'm sure.
-
Looking seriously fantastic. Good for you!!
-
I wish I had realized just HOW close I was to my goal when I quit the first time. At that time I was 20lbs less than I am now. I was looking pretty good but I still felt big. I didn't see the changes as much as others did. I wish I had stuck to my journey and continued on to goal. This time around I am going to reach my…

I'm down 31lbs in about 3 months. I still have at least 20lbs to lose, ultimately 40lbs. Starting weight: 215lbs Current weight: 184lbs First goal weight: 165lbs Ultimate goal weight: 145lbs

Definitely bags of chips. Just tonight my dad brought a bag over for New Year's and I can't keep myself away. =( I've had way more than I should.
-
Thanks for the advice. =)
-
Really? I'm finding it hard to even eat all of calories today as it is... I don't know, maybe I'm having an off two days. I'm just not that hungry.
-
Also I have about 67lbs that I would like to lose.
-
Really great advice, thanks Moosie! I envision myself needing those extra calories at times. =)
-
Moosie, I did set it too lose weight. I set it for 2 lbs a week. Ok, that is what I thought but I wasn't exactly sure. Thank you for your help! Great info, thanks so much Amy. That helps a lot and clears my confusion. It does make a lot of sense. One other question...What if I'm just not hungry at the end of the day and I…
