Keep in mind those are an arbitrary, unnecessary list of rules that may or may not help you lose weight. You have to create a deficit for weight loss to occur and yes, these rules may create it, but unless you plan to implement this structure into your life for good. You're better off finding an eating method that is…

My motivation came from losing my mother in law two years ago (a week before my son's birth and the week of mothers day ). She lived life so free and happily. She was a beautiful spirit. There were many commitments to her I broke or never made because I was too afraid to fail. The fear of failure kills more dreams than…

I hope your weekend has been amazing ♡

You may go to sleep but your body is still functioning. Unless you suffer from acid reflux or something, total calories is all that matters. I eat upward of 1k calories before bed sometimes....

Lurve you!!♡

So much rum and diet coke ♡♡♡. Kraken

I had two donuts and a coffee.

^This. I gained 50 lbs with my first baby in 2010. I tried cutting out foods and killing myself with cardio. I lost 40 lbs but gained it all back when I fell pregnant again in 2012. I've maintained my current weight for nearly two years now because I did as Helloitsdan suggested. Take it slow. Learn to moderate foods you…

I had White Castle last week. Closest thing to a cleanse I've ever had. :wink: Yeah, I'd return the product if you can, OP. Our bodies are very good at cleansing themselves. All you need for weight loss is a moderate calorie deficit and for health, balancing your macro and micronutrients.

:p <3

Thank you so much. ♡

17 pizza rolls and kraken

Carb free? Does that mean my all bacon diet has come to fruition?

Homemade peanut butter cups made in the shape of ice cube trays and more kraken

Outside of water weight replenishing (not fat and it wouldn't. Ounce you back up 50 lbs. Like a few lbs max), adding carbs back to a low carb diet wouldn't cause a magical regain of all the weight lost. What often happens, unless you're restricting for medical reasons, people drop their "diets" once the hit goal weight and…

Congratz! It's all about mentality. I had a huge crutch for emotional eating. It got worse when I had kids. I'd look for any excuse to run for the pantry. Weight loss is easy but the mind will cut you down every time. You have to have the mental strength to balance being healthy and losing weight, balancing fitting what…

Lol...I've also heard of adding steaks and A1 sauce with a big loaded baked potato for gaining weight too. But anything in a calorie surplus will make you gain weight so...

Sashimi and kraken rum

Carbs aren't the enemy unless you have a medical condition. Weightlifting and proper amount of protein and moderate deficit will help. Remember genetics plays a role in fat loss. You cannot spot reduce. Take weight loss slow and focus on getting a good amount of protein, fat, and fiber. Don't worry so much about where…

I bend over when I get pots and pans for dinner. Easy 100 calories right? Moving the milk jug from the fridge to the counter and pouring it? Sometimes I spontaneously dance when I cook too. And sing. Singing has to burn something. I feel it in my core. When I shower I scrub twice as hard for twice the burns. What if I…

So you'd weigh the full banana with skin and save the skin to weigh again later to subtract from your total . I'm mostly at home, so I weigh it without, always. I either eat it then or I chop it up and throw it in a zip lock with the grams amount on the bag to male banana things with

Without skin but I only weigh what I eat. I've never eaten banana skin before? When I eat things with pits, I'll weigh it, eat it and then put what's left back on the scale and subtract the part I didn't eat

Do you weigh your food on a food scale? Take cheat days? How's your logging accuracy? A stall that long, I'd look there first.

Okay.

It should say, "Incorporating foods you enjoy into your diet leads to better long term success than trying to cut out foods for weight loss." Because sometimes I have chocolate cake for breakfast. But I also stayed in a deficit for weight loss. Like everyone else ;)

Love yourself now and in every stride you take. Because you've been strong enough mentally to make it this far, don't let that make you crumble. Don't wait until you're some arbitrary number or measurement to do something you've always wanted to. Life is for living! I lived nearly my entire adult life terrified of being…

^this You'd be amazed at the results from a slight surplus and lean bulk. Hit up the gaining weight section and start reading up.

^this. I not only clean my house daily , I also do it as a part time job. Hefting trash bags, vacuuming, going up and down stairs. I kept one straight amount and if I was losing too aggressively, I added about 100 calories the next week and kept that, adjusting until my rate of loss was reasonable. Adding some arbitrary…

Its very good! How's the salted caramel mocha? I've tried the Mexican chocolate and the snickerdoodle as well and loved it. ID coffee creamer on the other hand continues to disappoint
