Happy Monday guys! Stepped on the scale and I'm down a pound. ( but I knew this because I weigh everyday and record my trend on MFP every Monday) I ate over my calories literally every other day but only by 100-200 but I've also been moving and getting more steps in and not eating that back. I'm surprised I lost weight…

Hey if you're recording your weight every day download a app on Android or ios so you can go by trend weight since there's so many reasons for fluctuations. Don't let it discourage you!

CICO - calories in calories out. Look at a few calculators online to figure out how much you burn just breathing/activity level. Subtract however much amount and be on a deficit

I eat 1500c and my meals get larger throughout the day lol. I'm a huge fan of large dinners so dinner is 700c, lunch is 500c, and snacks throughout the day is 300c. I have coffee in the morning and usually don't eat anything else until well into noon. If I'm starving then breakfast will be 300c and no snacking. If you're…

Before I read "not including dairy" I was thinking 'easy! Greek yogurt, cheese sticks, deli meat, bread' how quick are we talking? How low carb? Make you some good ole stir fry or soup with the 'what do I have left in my fridge'
-
So I eat 1500 a day or at least that's what it's set to. I go between IF and snacking. I'm not doing IF for the health benefits, just to manage my eating. I just forgo breakfast and continue with my day for IF. If I'm fasting I do 500c lunch, 700c dinner, 300c snacks, when I'm not I just switch the lunch calories for…

Plan for your nighttime snacking! Under snacks for the day I might have a Greek yogurt, bag of chips, and random things logged. But I don't actually eat that until 2 in the morning. As long as your logging it and within your deficit you'll be fine. Also address why your wanting a snack, is it because your up and bored?…
-
Mine are: Greek yogurt, eggs, chicken My bonus is salad but only when I have extra change. I could kill a whole bag of salad in lunch
-
It'd be super cool chatting up someone who cares about their health and goes to the gym and fits the lifestyle I'm trying to be apart of. But I don't go to the gym to meet new friends or new people and I don't like being interrupted when I'm just trying to get in and out. The gym should be the place everyone is friendly…

Okaaay! Since we're talking about MY username I initially side stepped your question because it leads into a possible discussion I didn't want to have. [no jabs at you] But I chose it as a username so I guess it's bound to raise some questions. 1. I am a woman 2. I don't think we know each other 3. I'm not boring in bed.…

Totally agree. I'm not going to be spending a lot of money on first dates. It's a "can I be around this person for long periods of time" I understand breaking the ice with a drink (I'm 24 that's our default) but drinks get expensive and the logical part of my brain is "I don't know how much they drink what if a drunk…

Ha! Craap it does. That's stupid funny
-
Testing testing *kitten* *kitten* *kitten*?
-
But I've seen curse words here I'm sure.. Do people replace their curse word with kitten or does MFP automatically change every swear word to kitten? Because that'd be hilarious
-
I struggle to stay within my calorie limit during my cycle because if I'm not asleep I'm eating lol. And during my cycle I get 4 hours of sleep max each night and turn into the beast of food lol. You know the typical " breakfast lunch dinner snack" category MFP has? I created a extra one called "middle of the night shame"…
-
I confess I see *kitten* used alot on MFP in alot of different contexts and I have NO idea what it actually means
-
1. I really love my food scale but I'd just use the measuring cup today and go with the 5.5oz Or option two! 2. You can put all the Mac and cheese in a bowl and weigh it and divide by number of servings its supposed to give then you know how much to eat accurately.
-
I don't go on 3-4 dates a week but I understand! 1. My advice is to bank your calories! You know at least a day in advance before a date right? So eat lighter that day then eat most of your calories later. Going out most of the week seems to be your usual so make your CICO (calories in calories out) fit your lifestyle…
-
Wooah wait. I'm still a noob when it comes to lifting lingo(and lifting) I know the compound lifts and understand warm ups beforehand. When you're saying a 8 week block do you mean you stay at those example weights for 8 weeks? Why do you do all of that before starting your squats for the day? Is that your warm up? And…
-
I haven't done them because their inconvenient. That's the only exercise in the routine where I have to pick up a weight from the floor lol. And my handgrip is awkward. [ I know that I'm making excuses lol I generally dislike the whole hassle] but I'll add some deadlifts!
-
I'm doing Starting Strength without deadlifts and adding Kettle Ball swing + chest press + hip abductor (spelling?) three times a week. (when I'm doing the routine)
-
I don't feel like I'm pushing myself while lifting. I'm increasing the weight weekly but I think I need more compound lifts in my life. I haven't done deadlifts but I have done presses and squats. I don't feel it until the day afterwards but during is kinda meh and quick. Thanks for letting me know!
-
I don't exercise as much as I should but for the people doing 1+ hours lifting.. How? What's your routine and how long are your breaks in between? I do a 45 min lifting program but I'm done in 25 minutes. Maybe there should be a lifting for dummies (me) because I can't fathom what's happening in these 1+ routines lol
-
Mine is sitting in my cabinet. I try to stomach it once a week . The fat girl in me hates wasting food lol
-
Same! Bell peppers is the vegetable that made me like vegetales. I always pick some up My list is bell peppers, chicken thighs, strong cheeses, eggs
-
Stairs. Besides commuting I don't go up and down stairs at all ( I live on the first floor) last time I went up stairs I'd pause at floor 3 and take a break. Today I ran up to the 6th floor carrying groceries with a friend without stopping. Maybe it's so minimal but weight loss translating to real life activity feels so…
-
Chia seeds. I kept seeing it pop up in my friends food journal and they described it as a tapioca taste. I ruined my oatmeal with that lol. Also hemp fiber powder. Taste like straight dirt but works so well and is cheap
-
I'm super pee shy lol (city girl) It isn't isolated to not be seen peeing in the woods AND it's always traffic (group of people) walking because hey hiking with a friend . I've never caught anyone peeing. Bladders of steel! and I don't want to be the one caught behind a tree while 8 people are watching
-
I love spicy food and during dieting that only increased my liking to spicy food lol. Instead of covering something in a 300 calorie sauce pass me some hot peppers+hot sauce and I'm in heaven. My spicy food has gotten to spicy to share with others so I make spice bombs for myself. One negative thing that has changed is I…

You could be x (lower) amount of weight with a higher body fat and not be satisfied visually. You could be y (higher) amount of weight with lower body fat and be visually satisfied. I'm not saying gain or lose weight (plus this Internet stranger doesn't really know how much you should lose) but I'd advise on lowering body…
