Tell them you haven't lost any weight because when you lose something that means you're looking for it and want it back. :p

I'm usually more of the type that just likes to sit back and be inspired by other peoples posts, but I had a few this last week that really reassured me that I'm at least started on the right path. 1. (With a little background) My company gives us a discount on health insurance premiums if we have our "numbers" checked…

Egg Whites with spinach, onion and peppers and then blueberries and raspberries on the side.

I can't remember what they initially start you at, but if you want to adjust them look under the tab with your current goals. It will let you change them to whatever you want. https://shapescale.com/blog/health/nutrition/calculate-macronutrient-ratio/ I'm not sure if this website is complete BS or not, but they seem to…

I noticed this too, gets a little extra squishy for me right before a "big" loss.

That number, at least what I've noticed, is your current weight minus your caloric deficit for that day multiplied by 35 and divided by 3500. So if you're 200 pounds, had a 1000 calorie deficit for the day, it would tell you your weight in 5 weeks should be 190. 200-((35×1000)/3500)->200-(35000/3500)->200-10->190. It's…

My last go around at this I had a lot of people talking about what I ate. Thankfully not family though. I usually found that the ones doing this were either feeling that they were on the same level as me, meaning we were both out of shape and over weight, or that the only thing that had over me was the fact that they were…

Not sure if you were looking only for plant based but Ultimate Nutrition ISO Sensation 93 Cookies and Cream tastes really good. It's 30g protein per scoop, not too badly priced on Amazon.

One of my co-workers told me about how I should go on his "diet", because he lost 40 lbs on it. Then he sits there and tells me why everything I'm eating is wrong. I remind him that I have lost 75 lbs and kept it off. On the other hand, he lost 25 lbs of his weight while in the hospital for a week and has since gained that…

WW is basically just a dumbed down version of CICO. As your weight changes your points change. If you exercise, you get more points. And they also tell you x amount of points should come from fat, carbs, protein. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it works for a lot of people. It's just an expensive alternative to MFP.

3 months and 55 lbs. Although I'm sure the first 10 was water weight.

I work overnights also. I usually eat two meals while at work, and I take them in with me. I start with egg whites, chicken, and a banana and then a tuna sandwich and green beans. I usually take a snack or two with me, but usually don't eat them. As for logging, I usually eat my first meal @ 10 pm so I just log it on the…

Once it becomes noticeable that you're losing weight, everyone starts telling you about all of the fad diets that you should be on. "Oh, I lost 20 lbs on the grapefruit enema diet 2 years ago." What they forget to tell you is that they gained 60 of that back in the year after.

I never thought about a bandana, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the replies.

So I can wear shorts in public. My legs haven't seen sunlight in about 10 years! They almost glow in the dark.

I've learned that when you eat healthy you can eat a lot more. I actually come in way below my goal even without the added calories for my workouts.

I started with 125 to lose. I have about 80 to go. Good luck to you!
