Are you tracking all vegetables? Including lettuces, leafy greens, broccoli, cucumbers, celery?

It’s definitely not ice cream! I’m learning this. I have lost weight before on WW, with unlimited veggies and fruits...so limiting veggies and barely any fruits is definitely new to me but I’m figuring it out thanks to the kindness of strangers on the internet. 🥰

fair enough.

Good tip. Thank you! And OK, so if i'm not worrying about leafy greens counting against my net carbs, does that leave me room for some ice cream?!

BTW, yesterday I had a more lean protein day: B: 2 egg omelet with .25oz deli roast beef + broccoli + shredded cheddar L: Chicken Shwarma Salad (eating out) with Garlic Sauce, no pita chips, added Feta. Dinner: 3.5oz cooked Chicken breast + 2 c roasted kale with olive oil + 1 c steamed broccoli + 1/4 c avocado Dessert:…

For this particular day, I'm not 100% sure about that. I think there's a problem with MFP calculations of my carbs. The Nutrients tab shows: 73g protein 53g carbs (but my calc was 40g as noted above) 25g fiber 83g fats In retrospect, I should have cooked a couple of eggs or fried a chicken breast. I had about 100 calories…

That's a good question. When I look up my meals that day, my net comes to about 13.5g. MFP shows 53g Total Carbs and then 25g Fiber, give me the 24 NET carbs by subtracting Fiber from Total Carbs. If I add up Total Carbs manually going item by item I get 40g Total, minus 26.5g Fiber. Very strange. Maybe it's a glitch in…

I just started Monday. The hardest part for me right now is figuring out what to eat throughout the day that is satisfying while also keeping my carbs low (under 20g) and hitting that protein goal. So far I haven’t taken in enough protein. I have a habit/love of topping off my night with something sweet so I’m hoping to…

I haven’t been posting on the feed but feel free to add me! I just started Monday. My husband is doing it with me (or rather I’m doing this with him). So far I’m struggling to hit my protein. It’s a lot of food! 1300 calories doesn’t seem like much but I’ve been eating pretty much flour and sugar and low fat my whole life…

I'm having a long time MFP user friend help me with a "get started" routine. She told me that in order to prevent milk loss, I could set my goals to be a 1/2 lb per week loss, sedentary, with 40% protein and 30% carbs & fats, plus 500 for nursing. That puts me at 2080 calories per day, and she says track EVERYTHING, like…

When I did WW I was also nursing (baby #2) but lost my supply bc it came off too quickly. So yes, ok, definitely too much of a deficit then. This time, I'm trying to avoid messing up my supply by eating tons of fruits & veggies. But now that I re-read all these comments and my rationale, Am I setting myself up for losing…

These are all really good points. I'm going to try it anyhow, setting MFP to 350 cals lower than it tells me to, and then allowing the resulting negative/red amount to reach 2500 for the week and not tracking my fruit/veg. If this doesn't allow for some weight loss, I'll do MFP strictly speaking. It'll be an experiment.

But can you really overeat vegetables? I get the fruit thing. Anyhow. Thanks! No one seems to be enthusiastic about a WW/MFP mash-up.

Yeah, I don't have that luxury. I work FT. But today I started a 30-minute walking club at my office, so at least I'll have that!

Exactly. I'll eat a 200 calorie candy bar instead of an apple and a banana. I'm trying to give myself some incentive to pick healthy things.

The WW app is terrible compared to MFP. When I did WW before, I didn't know about MFP's app. There is no comparison. I actually signed up for WW today, tried the app, became super frustrated in trying to find foods, and canceled my account.

I don't want to track them bc sometimes it's a huge pain to track every vegetable in a large salad, and I'd rather eat the healthy foods freely and not worry about them so much. It was my favorite part of WW, that I could eat limitless veggies and fruits and still lose weight. It helped me stay on track, so I wanted to see…

My GW is 135. The lowest I've been is 137 but my body was at 140 for many years before I had kids. While at 140, I always felt as if another 5 lbs would have me looking quite lean, but the calculator i just tried put me between 127-141 so we'll see how I feel when I hit 135. I'm at 160 now.

Dang. That's a lot to take in. But I have a similar weight loss goal as you and just had my third baby, too. I'm sitting at 160 with a GW of 135, so 25 lbs to lose. But I'm nursing my baby so I add 500 calories to MFPs suggested intake of 1350 calories. I swear I'd be starving if I had to eat 1,350, so I'm hoping to hit my…

I'm 5'6, CW 159, GW 135. But I'm Seeing a lot of 5'6 women on here with goals in the 120s, so I'm sure I'll re-evaluate when I hit my GW.
