Hell, I ate a little extra this weekend. Probably 300 cals over Saturday about 400 Sunday but I’ve got the rest of the week planned out to have a small 100-200 calorie deficit each day to even it out. Don’t beat yourself up about it, it’s all about balance not perfection.

Oatmeal cookie is the bees knees. But I prefer Enlightened low calorie ice cream. The peanut butter chocolate flavor is the best, it’s chocolate ice cream with chunky peanut butter swirls. 360 calories for the pint, 90 calories a serving.

I’ve been drinking a lot of hot tea to fill my tummy when I’m munchy but if after drinking a cup or 2 and I’m still hungry I’ll eat a little snack to tide me over. Blackberries are awesome, low calorie. Baby carrots with hummus, raspberries, Tuna packets, jerky, cantaloupe.

Nothing is inherently right or wrong but it’s all what works for you. If you can’t control yourself with a small portion than maybe consider other options for treats that can satisfy you. It’s all trial and error, good luck!

Sugar alcohols are in sugar free/low sugar foods like gum, protein bars, drinks etc. Some people have a negative reaction to them and can experience constipation and cramps but if it’s eatin in a high amount it will do that regardless. Unfortunately there’s no way of tracking sugar alcohols on MFP, it would be a little…

I’ve got the line too, it’s been there at my lowest weight (108) and my highest weight (140). I think sometimes everyone’s perception of what’s normal or not gets warped with all the photoshop. Your stomach looks great! Check out this thread, “Does this uterus make my stomach look fat?”

I make a pot of oatmeal on Monday and eat that all week.

Well it’s not chocolate but Yogi tea has nice little sayings on their tea bag strings.

I'm 24, 5'4'' and weigh between 112-116, I can lose 1/2 a pound a week eating about 1400-1500 and usually maintain at 1700 calories or more depending on how active I've been. I use to ride my stationary bike 3-5 days a week but now I'm getting most of my exercise through walking. My job is very labor intensive, I work at a…

I’ve been eating the Halo Top and Enlightened ice cream everyday to kill my sweet tooth. It’s so low calorie I usually just open the pint and go to town until I’m satisfied. A pint is about 3 servings for me.

I’m the same way, love me a cup of coffee and a little treat with it in the afternoons. Rice crispy treats are only 90 calories! And Enlightened makes these Roasted broad beans in cocoa dusted and cinnamon flavors, they are amazing. Only 100 calories a serving with lots of good fiber and protein.

I’ve been making pumpkin and blueberry oatmeal with walnuts on top. 😋 Judge me how you will, I love me some pumpkin! 🎃

I wouldn’t say I’m part of the Clique but I do love their music. All the new songs they’ve released so far have been amazing, I can’t wait for the full album to release. ✌️🤩

Am I in heaven?! 😭 Why isn’t this kind of stuff in Health Magazines?! My body positivity meter is maxed out right now! Thank you all!

That use to be my exact same situation when I moved in with my boyfriend 4 years ago. He likes to snack and order take out but won’t work out with me. That being the case I just found things I liked to do by myself to keep active so I can still eat pizza or what not with him every once in a while. I bought a stationary…

I made blueberry pumpkin oatmeal for my breakfast last week. When it was done cooking I added some chopped walnuts. 🤤 Usually I do 1 cup of liquid (I use almond milk) to 1/2 a cup of oatmeal. Let the liquid come to a boil and then add the oats, once it starts to boil again turn the temperature down and let it simmer for…

I can remember having cellulite on the inside of my thighs since I was 14 or 15. I’m 24 now, 5’4” and weigh 115 and it’s still there but I’ve learned to live with it and not let it bother me so much. It also really helped that when I told my boyfriend how embarrassed I was about the cellulite he said he loved my legs. Lol…

Please don’t start any fad diet. Anything that makes you cut out an entire food group and guarantees instant weight loss at a rapid weight is always a gimmick that will work at the beginning but enevitably fail. Like a few other posters already said, just make small sustainable changes and eat what you’d like in…

Walkings been enough exercise lately for me. I work outside at a Public Park/sports complex so I get about 16000-20000 steps a day. I use to ride my stationary bike every day but works gotten busier with the baseball season so I dropped the bike. I’ll probably pick it back up in the Fall once we’re a little slower at work.…

I put 2 tbsps of Sugar Free Torani syrup in 1/2 a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. My favorite flavors are English Toffee, Caramel, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and S’mores. I’m not sure if that’s any better for you than sugar free creamer but the syrups 0 calories. 🤷‍♀️

If you haven’t gained any weight I don’t think it’s necessary to log it, unless you feel like you want or need too. If you’ve been maintaining the same weight while not logging your dinners that’s great! Thats good intuitive eating

Gonna try to drop these last 2 pounds by the end of next month and as a reward if I hit my goal on time I’m going to go get me a shiny new tattoo. 💪

A few staple foods I recommend you buy that are incredibly cheap, usually come in bulk and will be nutritious and meet your daily caloric requirements: -Tub of Old Fashioned Oats -Large jar of generic peanut butter -Waffle Mix -Chicken Broth -Bag of rice -Bag of beans -Box of Pasta -Butter -Milk -Tub of Fat Free Greek…

I’m sure what I do may seem a little excessive to some people but I prelog my food about a week or 2 out at a time. My life is busy so this works well for me so I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to eat and so I don’t have to stop and get fast food. I’m off Mondays and do all my food prepping on that day and I…

A couple good podcast that have been helping me are, • Food Psych • The Love, Food Podcast • Nutrion Matters Podcast

Don’t feel bad, it happens to everyone. I went on a month long hiatus where I ate everything and anything which was completely unlike me, put on like 4lbs and had to step back and see what the original trigger was. I realize now I had been too strict on myself for too long. July 4th was the catalyst for a month of binging…

I meal prep a huge pot of oatmeal every Monday and eat it until Sunday. I put blueberries, strawberries, cinnamon and sugar free maple syrup in it while it lts cooking and add nuts to it right before I eat it. I also do this with Greek yougurt, just divvy it up at the beginning of the week so you can just grab it and go.…

I put Braggs Liquid aminos on my vegetables with some garlic powder, chili flakes and then bake at 400 degrees F for like 35-40 minutes.

This has been said a million times but definitely oatmeal and yogurt. I’ll make a huge pot of oatmeal and once it cools down I’ll divide into about 8 or 10 containers and eat that until it runs out. Then depending on if I’m all oatmealed out, I’ll either have oatmeal again the next week or make my own yogurt parfaits for…
