  • Just know that if you don't normally eat breakfast you don't have to force yourself to now. Meal time had no impact on weight loss. Just cico
  • I work with horses and everyday I do, I burn a ton of calories. Which is great however I know the days I'm not at the barn I have to adjust my calorie intake accordingly... Even though I go to the gym for hours when I'm not at the barn it doesn't burn anywhere near the same amount. Hence I follow a weekly deficit (instead…
  • A pound of fat is 3500 calories So no you definitely didn't gain 7. Depending what I eat it can take me 1 to 5 days to shred extra sodium/carb water weight
  • I just shelved that game, well a couple months ago. Loved it (and respectively FFXI for many (way too many years)) Great game, I just don't have the time anymore :(
  • 3/14/16: 163.5 Total loss .5 which is exactly around where I want to be. So yay :smile:
  • For me, it really is mostly vanity. I have been extremely healthy, both overweight and now that I'm closing in on 'normal' for my height. However, a family history of diabetes keeps me in check too. The accountability comes down to me. I'm an excellent binger and I don't get 'full' signals like most people. So if I stop…
  • Well, sadly my dog I easily out walk him and often carry him to finish any walks we go on... lol But he sure is cute :)
  • I've lost weight after I got Mirena. I am not any more hungry or have any other side effect, besides a VERY much reduced to non existent monthly (YEEHAW lol)
  • Also if possible lead by example, put into play what you hope for your son. Eating habits, therapy (you mentioned OCD and anxiety) even at 19 he is influenced by what he sees. If he sees the household is dedicated to living 'better'. Maybe he'll want to too. Also agree with encourage his current behaviour but make it more…
  • The contradiction was more humorous than anything. However, the people on mfp work really hard on their own free time to help educate people about weight loss. When people post about cleanses, jumpstart, and detox nonsense they're there to set the record straight (and I'm ever so grateful I've learned so much here and…
  • I'm a day late, however weigh every day (follow trends) count me in!! Starting weight: 220 Challenge Start Weight: 164 Challenge End Weight Goal: lb a week or so 158 ish End Goal weight (sometime this year I hope lol): 144 3/7/16: 164 3/14/16: 3/21/16: 3/28/16: 4/4/16: 4/11/16: 4/18/16: 4/25//16: 5/2/16:
  • Accountability.. That no one but me can make the changes I need.. (Whether I need testing from doctors for thyroid pcos etc, or just eat less move more) It's all on me. And I deserve this so I'll do it. Along with lots of great advice above me.
  • Also the best exercise is the one(s) you enjoy and will keep doing. I personally love some cardio and so I do it. I also love muscle definition and realize that for the nice flat tummy I am working towards I need to lift weights. But I have had to try a few different programs to find which I enjoy (and therefore will keep…
  • I could not give up any of those things... And I keep losing. Well I don't like shellfish, so I guess I don't eat that. Actually, I hate veggies.. I hardly eat any of them (just the ones I like). It's all about what you can maintain for the long haul. I won't be in a deficit forever, but I want to enjoy the journey as well…
  • For me drinking keeps me full for hours. And I'm not ravenous after 1/2 hour. I don't drink a lot of plain water unless in the middle of heavy cardio. Tea (mostly herbal) and a bit of crystal light usually very diluted makes up my liquids. I also take my food into consideration (fruits Vegs etc) My body needs to repair…
  • Eat artificial sweeteners all the time. Sugar is still very sweet to me. Still losing weight. I get no more cravings then I ever have.
  • So you just spray some foil ? Then put the fish on it and bake it. I'll have to google when I get home. I love fish... But fried fish. Trying to find a healthier way
  • Nope mine is still in. Lost weight before it and continue to do so.
  • I make protein hot chocolate 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, tablespoon unsweetened cocoa, scoop of vanilla bean protein. I use a milk frother thingie to mix it up. Then when I put the hot water on it actually tastes quite decadent. Now my mugs are huge and with chocolate protein you wouldn't need as much cocoa.…
  • That's exactly what I did.
  • I update mfp once a month (usually on the first, like I did yesterday :) ), but usually weigh every Wednesday or sometimes when I eat a lot. I like to see the water weight the day after as I KNOW I haven't gained 8 lbs (or whatever), and that in a few days it will settle. I guess it should upset me, but I know I haven't…
  • I want to know what people eat and plan for a month. I usually make a couple of things that have lots of leftovers and then pack and freeze them into portions.. that's about the extent of my thinking ahead.
  • Love zumba. I lift 3 times a week and still zumba everyday. I tried zumba step but for me it wasn't as free as there are steps everywhere and didn't want to trip over them. Go go zumba
