You are on the wrong website, then... Even IF, by your personal definition, a person ate "clean" but binged on fruit to the point of stalling progress, would you still want them if they complain about lack of progress purely because calorie counting doesn't matter and fruit is "clean"?

The two you love are my suggestions. Wasn't wild about any other flavors. Smores was okay, doesn't taste like what I wanted though!!

I ate Taco Bell Sunday and dropped 2 lbs by Monday

No such thing. Anything marketed for it is a scam... To kick start your weight loss start with a calorie deficit... And the best part.... it's freeeeeeeeeee

Are you in a calorie deficit still? Are you getting your other macros and micros typically when doing this? A leaning out diet can include anything, so as long as you are in a calorie deficit and getting a good amount of protein, typically resistance training is recommended, too but I'm getting off topic. I ate Talenti by…

I'm confused. Vodka isn't alcohol? I've been led astray for so long :cry:

By all means, those snacks sound delicious and if they fit in your day, enjoy =) Water weight can hold on for a few days but isn't detrimental to true weight loss. I had a weekend where I had quite a bit and for about 3 days I was up about 3 lbs and it slowly trickled off. That's why people typically recommend waiting for…

Sadly, there's no spot reduction. As you lose weight, fat is predisposed by genetics on where it comes off from. So, isolation exercises may work the area underneath but won't rid it of fat. I totally feel you though, when I started, fat loss came off everywhere BUT my stomach, which gave the optical illusion that my…

I dunno, when I bulked I was sad I didn't have a notification for it but I could see that. Though, there's an option in settings to turn off announcement of weight loss, so plausibly one could do the same for gain.

Nope, there's no notification for weight gain. Weight gain might not be as bad as you think. Could be water weight, depending on what you ate the day prior, or water retention from exercise, etc. Just keep logging =) :heart: I've had weeks where my weight jumped up but went back down plus some the next week. Scale weight…

^all of this also... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1 If you haven't read yet =)

Make sure I'm weighing my solid food, measuring cups for liquids. If I'm eating back exercise calories, make sure I'm not overestimating. Make sure these things are in check and don't worry unless it has been several weeks without loss because weight fluctuates up and down 2-3bs from one day to the next and up 5 from…

And then I loled

^I was about to post this ROFL.

I've always loved you... Sorry that came out creepy img Frosch thinks so, too.

Gelato paaaarty!!!

Start your day off with foods that keep you satiated like protein, fats, and fiber and save some calories later to indulge your sweet tooth in. This may mean limiting or eliminating triggers temporarily until you learn self control and manage your hunger better but keep in mind... you are always in control and the deciding…

I read tea bag and giggled. And then I saw you have the shirt I've always wanted... Catch them ALL!

:blush: Wanna come play gelato fortress??!?!

Yeah... I mean, look at what happened to me when I eat in moderation and occasionally eat half a pan worth of brownies... Aaaand I don't cheat, everything counts. Enjoy your own world, hope there's flowers there. And unicorns

I'm in to bunch everyone in this thread's panties. It's okay. I'll be gentle.

^these are my feels, too. And man, I love carbs.

Sounds gross. Can I add a squirt of lemon juice to my Talenti?

Goodness, if this were true I would have never lost weight. I looove peanut butter. Weigh that stuff though!! =)

Yeah, I figured from your other posts we had similar frames of mind, I just took it more to heart the term "junk ". I do think snack might have been appropriate of a descriptor and while it would have gotten some things like you said, maybe sweet snacks might have helped? I bounce my snacks from carrots and hummus to girl…

:heart: I think I'm just skilled at the art of "anger all the peoples". It's a sub ability right next to paladin.

The point was you called it that at all is a clear need to make a black and white difference in foods that one can and gas arguably shown can also be functional in a diet. That was my point. And kudos to you for wanting to partake in more of a moderation standpoint

:wink:

See, but that's how you see it. Just think it's totally helpful to clarify that foods are food. It's still a valid statement. I think it was more the excessive "junk food crap" that made me twitchy lol. Yes, getting proper nutrition is important but I could argue a McDonald's grilled mcwrap has more nutritionally then an…

To those that need clarification my post is called "being facetious" to prove a point but apparently many are still comfortable with labeling foods because it makes it easier mentally to want to avoid such foods if we make them sound bad. Go ahead though, peek your eye holes in my diary. It is lightly amusing. I'm well…
