I "look" about the same actually but it's more about how comfortably my clothes are fitting. Trust me, if I didn't feel the difference, I wouldn't have even bothered changing anything :)

Ah okay. Yeah, that makes sense as to why I can't seem to eat as low as I was before CrossFit. The whole CrossFit experience really took me by surprise! No one ever explained to me how much I'll be eating and it was really all a shock to me how hungry I was feeling ALL the time! Thanks for the encouragement - it helps for…

Hey! Since the stir fry is a recipe I entered, olive oil is accounted for. Brussel sprouts isn't mine though, so I kinda assumed it's calculated :neutral_face: Hmm... You're right though, maybe I should enter my own recipe for it. My salads are without any dressings actually :) I just enjoy raw veggies - boring I know but…

Awe. Congratulations :D Tell you a secret? I'm actually one of those people who enjoy working out! Totally puts me in a good mood :) All the best to you!

Hey! Interesting pictures, thanks for sharing :) My body fat is 22%. I am certainly not trying to starve myself and the number on a scale is not the only thing I am looking at when it comes to my body - but it's one indication I consider for sure. The reason I'm insisting on losing those last 5 pounds is because I know…

Hmm. So you're suggesting that I try going for 1200 calorie allowance but reduce my workout schedule, right? Could certainly give it a try! Also, I've never heard about re-feeding before :) Thanks for explaining!

Yeah, I totally agree. I think I'm actually one of those people! I used to eat organic dried plums but they were so addictive I couldn't stop! So I decided to stop eating them altogether and felt so much more in control of my carb cravings as a result. Thanks for the advice, I will certainly try up-ing my protein with lean…

Not a debbie downer at all! Thing is, I was at that weight before - so I know it's not like a new weight goal I'm trying to achieve. My frame is not petite but it's certainly not big. I would say I'm the average size and I know that my body is incapable of gaining too much muscle because realistically speaking, my frame…

It is really all about that sweet spot for sure! I just can't seem to find it. Would you mind giving me a few examples of lean protein?

You know what? I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I mean, I know I should be taking things a bit easier when it comes to working out. Stressing out the body is certainly not a good idea and I really wish I could reach that point where my diet and workout regimen balance each other out. But I get into this guilt…

Hmm. Good point. I'll take a closer look at these recipes then and see what inaccuracies there might be. Thanks :)

Some of them are, yeah. As far weighing food is concerned, I scan the labels and measure solids in cups for solid foods. It's not ideal but I make sure to assume the worst case scenario and aim for a higher calorie measurement when logging in the food.

Done - thanks :)

I'm kinda thrilled with your feedback - you guys are awesome and I feel better already :) thank you!

Your comment made me laugh out loud!

You're right. Might as well try with something reliable!

Will absolutely try that! Thank youuuuu for the suggestion :)

Gladly. How? :)
