This breakfast which I usually only have on my birthday (because everyone knows birthday calories don't count) with the free birthday cake milkshake *drooool*

Starting my LAST week of LIIFT 4 today!

I'm not maintaining now, back to losing, but when I was I kept using a scale, been using it for years so everyone is used to it. My parents own a scale and I use it when I visit, when we host a potluck I use my scale so my friends are also used to it.

Yes I noticed that when I was looking at various subreddits and decided to stick to MFP's forums!

Damn I don't know if I could do that! Go you! I'm betting that one plate was super delicious too!

As others have mentioned your best change would be to get a food scale. I'm 5'2" so shorter than you and I lose 1lb a week eating 1500 calories.

Age: 33 Height: 5'2" SW: 191 GW for challenge: 143-145 Feb 26: 155 March 4: 152.8 (-2.2) March 14: 151.2 (-1.6) March 20: 150.8 (-.4) March 29: 149.6 (-1.2) April 5: 149.4 (-.2) I've been fluctuating between the 149's and 148's all week so I probably lost more than .2, either way I'm getting really close to the upper range…

I have an acti-fry and I LOVE it! It's just hubby and I so it uses a lot less energy than the oven when roasting just enough veggies for supper, and everything gets nice and crispy for very little oil. Note that it is not the same thing as an air fryer, an air fryer has a basket whereas the actifry stirs food around but…

I didn't read the whole thread so not sure if it's been mentioned already but for those of you who have an Amazon Alexa, Google Home or similar it's a great tool to keep track of weights while your busy running around the kitchen cooking, especially if you meal prep! I created a "food" list and I just yell the weights of…

Yes, we can do this!!!

Mine isn't original, I want to rock a tiny bikini!

I'm really hoping this summer, at least by the end of summer I'll have a body that I am comfortable putting a bikini on! I'm in the same boat as you with 25lbs to goal (42 gone!), I'm about 13.5 lbs until I reach a healthy BMI so maybe by then will be ok too!

I've got a bit less than 2 weeks left of LIIFT 4 and was thinking of Starting Transform: 20 after but I see there is going to be a hybrid calendar coming out that mixes T:20 and LIIFt 4! Anyone else thinking of doing the hybrid?

I'd like to join you all for this challenge! Original starting weight - 191 April starting weight - 149.8 April goal - 145 Ultimate goal - 125 1st - 149.8 8th - 15th - 22nd - 29th - Total loss for April -

Yes I'm the same so I didn't say anything! Even people who have shown interest in calorie counting I don't ever talk about how many calories are in their food LOL!

Anyone else find it hard not to share everything you know about calories? I just saw a coworker that I know is trying to lose weight cut up 2 GIANT avocados into her salad, I wanted so badly to tell her that those 2 avo's were adding probably around 400-600 calories to her salad. BUT she didn't ask and it is none of my…

I wish!

I feel like this thread has become all about ice cream LOL.

I really hate the after taste of aspartame so I don't drink diet pop. I am addicted to Dr. Pepper and cream soda though so once in a while I save up the calories for one, usually just on the weekend. I wish we had mini cans of Dr. Pepper in Canada!

I make a list and either hubby and I go together or he goes on his own. He's not picky and he never grabs junk, I can see it in his eyes sometimes he wants something but puts it back, so sometimes I will sneak it into the basket for him and he's so happy when he finds it lol! So no venting for me! I think it's harder when…

just 2 lbs away now!

Had to buy a belt yesterday because even on the tightest hole my old belt was loose!

I guess sometimes we have to learn the hard way LOL!

My full switch has always been broken, it's why I gained the weight. Whether I am in a deficit or eating maintenance I am ALWAYS hungry. The only time I feel full is when I am physically uncomfortable from too much food in my stomach, not healthy and leads to weight gain. This is why I think that I will be a counter for…

Holy *kitten*.

Haha yes when the completely oblivious guy in our friend group commented on how tiny I was made me realize that if he had finally noticed then yes, I had come a far way.

Oh yep in the beginning of my counting I've freaked out crying because some friends last minute wanted to go out to have dinner with us and I didn't really have the calories and the menu wasn't posted online so I ended up not going! I really regret that and it's no way to live. I'm much better/more relaxed now, for example…

Would it help to schedule 1 night a week that is just for the 2 of you? If he knows it is on the schedule and that you are making time for it, it would probably make him feel better. My hubby is the one that gets home late, we do work out together but we still don't have that much quality time together during the week,…

Ooops, keep forgetting to come here to update and cheer you all on!! Age: 33 Height: 5'2" SW: 191 GW for challenge: 143-145 Feb 26: 155 March 4: 152.8 (-2.2) March 14: 151.2 (-1.6) March 20: 150.8 (-.4) March 29: 149.6 (-1.2) If I'm able to keep this rate of loss going I may reach my goal by the end of April! 4.6lbs to go…

Are you weighing your food on a food scale and logging everything including liquids and oils used for cooking? That actually sounds like it might be more than 644 calories.
