Are you weighing your food?

Meh.. I have the biggest sweet tooth. Like id rather eat cake than a steak. I always leave 200-300 cals or more at the end of the day for my sweets. My cal goal is 1270-1400 a day (depending on activity level) I make it fit so I don't binge, I'm never hungry and I'm still losing,

5'2 here and my biggest problem has always been my sweet tooth, not regular food. Nobody mentioned the sweet tooth. I don't need to eat a huge portion of cake to add on 500 cals to my goal. Even now that I'm losing I still eat close to 400-500 cals a night on just sweets. That's almost half of my cal goal. I baked a lot…

I started out with Fitbit Flex a year ago and now Fitbit HR since December. I eat most of my calories burned and lose weight every week.

Unless you add the rum.. And it's soooo much better with the rum lol

What? Give up chocolate? Why? Make it fit. Chocolate is perfection lol

It made me so happy reading your story! I started at almost 200 lbs at 5'2. I've been losing slowly but consistently since August and am now down 30 lbs doing what sounds like what you've been doing. Burning more calories than I consume, not omitting foods I love, working out 2-3 times a week. Today has been one of those…

Bottom line.. You're NOT logging accurately, you're using cups to measure solids. You're NOT eating 1,000 calories, you're eating more. Please review the video above. Using cups to measure solids instead of weighing them DOES make a huge difference. Until you start weighing your solids and log them accurately, you will NOT…

Ok thank you! I have it set on a piece of plaster because my bathroom floor is uneven.

I weigh once a week. I use to weigh everyday but it was messing with me mentally. Once a week works well for me.

Yes.. Ice cream is my absolute favorite treat. And I don't do the low cal crap either. Right now my favorite are the Haagen Daz mini ice cream bars. My husband asked me one night if I REALLY had to have ice cream. Yes, yes I do

This is only 20 lbs down but I can see my apron shrinking. I have 3 kids and still have 50 lbs to go. It's one thing I hate the most. It actually only showed up after kid number 3.

This is awesome.. As a person that's been losing slow and steady for 5 months, I needed to read that. Thanks :)

I find it pretty funny that we have 5 pages of comments and OP has not responded since the OP, but people keep commenting. Carry on.

Third Skinnytaste!! She's my spirit animal lol. I've been using her recipes for years and have loved them all. Especially her Spanish recipes me being Puerto Rican.

I guess I'll be the odd ball. I'm super hungry after a workout. I workout in the morning and really need to eat something afterwards or I'm fatigued and nauseous. I'm not a breakfast person normally. I don't eat till almost lunchtime.

I usually have a steamed shrimp with mixed veggies, sauce on the side. White or brown rice, whichever I'm in the mood for. Or I'll have small shrimp or beef with broccoli, white or brown rice.

Not British, NZer. Yes the kids have their own child sized table and chairs and we have a snack and drink together around 10am. Helps with setting routines and means I don't end up with hangry kids. And helps promote healthy/safe eating practices. [/quote] Ah ok! We just call that snack time around these parts :)

Kids have morning tea?? This is so awesome to me. I'm assuming you're British? The image that pops into my head are toddlers dressed in big hats and pretty dress with there pinky up lol. I'm sorry, I swear I wish I were British. If only to track down Robert Pattinson lol.

SAHM here also! Definitely reduce the items that you tend to snack on the most. Replace them with healthier options. I use to have homemade baked goods on hand constantly, ice cream, candy bars etc. (huge sweet tooth). I stopped baking and buying those things. I replaced them with fruit and yogurt. Once I was able to…

I'm sure I did I just don't know how much because I refused to weigh myself. I weighed on 12/18 at 176.4, I ate and drank whatever I wanted during the holidays but still logged. I weighed myself for the first time this past Friday at 176.2 so I'm back on track.

Ha! She's a Facebook friend.. I do drink lots of water but she's all "caffeine is the badz" lol.

Yeah.. Apparently she's a gym trainer. I hate confrontation but I hate bad information more.

They're saying that the caffeine dehydrates your body

This. I get full a lot easier now.

Ha! Yeah I hear you. I like my wine and can definitely drink a bottle on my own

Yeah.. That's definitely an incentive! I'm at 1300 calories so every little bit counts :(

I did know that at some point about the size of the glasses. Thanks for reminding me :) I usually have a Riesling or prosecco or even a moscato. I guess those are more caloric?

I forget what week this is.. Weigh in SW: 179.8 CW: 176.4 GW (for this challenge): 169 Total loss so far 3.4 lbs

I still have 50 lbs to go but this is 20 lbs down :) Oh and that is Norman Reedus' hand on my shoulder, hence the huge smile :smiley:
