Avoid the sickly sweet taste of the "skinny" drinks and simply ask them to reduce the pumps of regular sugar syrup. Most of their beverages are way too sweet to begin with...you can't even taste the coffee. The online menu lists how many pumps go into their standard size drink, you can ask them to customize it for you. If…

According to all ideal weight calculations for my height (5'2") I ought to weigh anywhere from 102 to 138 lbs. I can't see liking my body below 135. I am currently 155 with 29% body fat. My start weight was 161. I am now between a size 6 and 8 in pants (was a snug 8 at my start weight), wear a small in tops and a 6 in…

This. You reached out here, so maybe try to call up a friend who can help talk you through it. A good talk over tea and a human connection is a great place to start. Ask why you want to turn to food or alcohol instead of working through the issue. You need to find the root cause and understand your triggers so you don't…

Other than avocado I don't see much fat in your diet (maybe in your salad dressing). Fat helps keep you full! You could add in some nuts, nut butter, cheese or full fat yogurt. You could also use whole eggs or add one egg supplemented with egg whites. In our house we sit down once a week and make a meal plan based on…

Ask your doctor about alternatives as well. Common misconception for many that reflux is the result of too much acid. You are out of balance (stomach acid is not correct pH or not producing enough acid) and staying on meds too long can make the issue worse. Find the root cause, don't simply treat the symptoms.

It will eventually come off as you lose weight. Try some nice tank tops that flatter your waist and pair them with a cardigan or jacket/blazer where you can go up a size without adding bulk on your midsection. You could also have your shirts taken in on the body (depending on the material of course).

Weight: every day logged to see the trend among any fluctuations. Measurements: once a week

Mine has definitely kept me more active and motivated. I'll go for longer walks and create ways to have more activity. Parking at the far end of the lot may only be an extra hundred steps...but it adds up over time! The TDEE calculation is great because I know exactly how much I can eat based on my activity. Not sure how…

I turn it on to sync a few times a day only. But I like keeping it off most of the time. It's like a fun surprise when you've added in 5,000 steps and get a jump in your TDEE (it also keeps you from obsessively checking). I never bothered setting up the call/text notifications. Bluetooth tends to drain my phone battery…

I got the Alta, simply because it's more stylish than the Flex. Have really increased my activity since getting it and love that it calculates my TDEE as the day goes on! I keep the Bluetooth off a majority of the time since I have no use for getting text/call notifications on my wrist. I sync it a few times a day to let…

OP is that your net after exercise? I have similar stats...5'3" SW 161 (was probably more as I didn't have my first weigh in until about 30 days into using MFP) CW 157.8. If I do zero exercise I'm set at 1260 for the day. With exercise I have found a range of 1400-1600 (depending on my TDEE) has been helping me lose…

Most instructors will ask whether there's anyone new in the class and will offer alternatives for those getting started. After a class, try out some of the moves in front of the mirror to work on your form. Give it your all, no one will be judging you for working toward your fitness goals! One of my friends dragged me to…

Log as ¼ cup dry. Recommend weighing, as there's a tendency to mound a scoop and still call it a ¼ cup. My measuring cups were off even when levelled and the portion by weight ended up well below the rim.
