I read about this too. They are just paying for this study to try and make it seem like sugary drinks aren't so bad. What else would you do if you had a 14% downfall?

Thanks for putting that into numbers for me. I think I'll just increase my calories to 1400 in MFP and see where that takes me.

Same. Which is why I didn't eat them back. I tried eating them back last night and it was wonderful. I didn't over eat/binge and I went to bed feeling satisfied.

So they ARE basically the same if I eat my exercise calories back..?

What do you follow?

In a perfect world I would like to be in the 120s but I feel like my body won't really allow me that considering I've never been there. 130s is probably where I will stay..who knows. My workouts are very consistent, I would like to say. It's been 2 1/2 months and the only time I missed 1 day on top of my rest day was when…

I don't track weekly calories, but on Fridays I technically have a cheat meal..even though I don't like to call it that for mindset reasons. I probably reach a goodish number if I was counting weekly cals.

Yeah, I had it at 2lbs a week but when I lowered it down MFP didn't give me much more calories so I just went back to 2lbs. (Which totally isn't happening, btw. I'm lucky if it's 1lb a week)

What do you mean? I added in that I went to the gym at the very beginning and depending on how much food I want to eat at the end of the day I will just go ahead and add exercise into my daily diary.

Which would be better then? I get into stalls on my weight loss for about two weeks at a time, then see the numbers moving again until they stop. I know weight loss isn't linear but I'm tired of the stopping and going. Rather, I get into a mind set of "I haven't lost any weight for two weeks, what is the point of me…

Yes, both have the exact same info.

I'm set on 1200 calories also. I changed my goal to 1lb a week and it only gave me 70 extra calories..so I just went back to 2lbs a week. Which I am absolutely not doing so I don't know where MFP is getting these numbers.

I'm using C4 - Watermelon. Tastes alright..until I worked out too hard awhile back and threw it up. Can't stand the taste now. I have to use just a little water and take it like a shot.

Oh, and I definitely overate this weekend..which is why I'm not stepping on a scale until this weekend. I'm not too worried about the weight loss as much, because I do know that 10lbs is a good amount to lose. I guess I should have phrased my question differently. I don't want to make my body go into starvation mode with…

I haven't weighed myself since before the holiday weekend. I won't weigh in until probably this coming weekend. I'm 5'4

That is an answer I was looking for, thank you.

I never said that 10lbs wasn't good or "no progress" I'm saying that I've been at that point for what seems like a good while now and I'm not sure if I'm at the right intake amount.

It was quick at first, but I haven't seen progress for about 2 weeks. Obviously my progress will be different since this holiday weekend where I didn't track, but I've been around 148-151 for 2 weeks or more.

This might have already been said, but.. I go to Planet Fitness and it is definitely different than say Gold's. I find it very odd that they have a bucket of Tootsie Rolls on the front counter. It's annoying to have your water holder filled with candy trash. I also don't understand the free pizza or bagel mornings. With…

My jeans stopped fitting. I already wore very tight jeans so I didn't have much room to grow. Gained 10lbs and felt AWFUL in them. Worked hard enough that I can now fit back into one pair but the rest I'm still working toward. Wearing yoga pants everywhere for the time being. (probably won't change that though because they…

Could I add you on instagram?

I have a HUGE sweet tooth. I just eat what I want in small portions (one serving size usually). I also get those Skinny Cow ice creams or fruit bars. Sometimes I'll get those flavored sparkling waters. There are also chocolate rice cakes which are only 60 cals. Eating a small amount of what you would like isn't going to…

I know I'm losing weight when my phone slides out between my thighs when I hit the breaks while in my car.

We haven't had anything brought in or have someones birthday since before I started my weight loss journey. I'm almost looking forward to being able to say "no" to the next birthday cake. Hopefully it won't be too hard, because I used to try and say no but then end up giving in like 30 minutes before it's time to go home.…

This is so odd to me. I've never had anyone comment on what I was eating (aside from the one time I brought salmon and stunk up the place). Luckily, my closest co-worker also tries to eat better/workout. We both have the biggest sweet tooth, so we just don't say anything to each other if one of us is eating a piece of…

Lately I haven't been too hungry. Just a handful of unlogged cashews (helps treat my depression) but when I was eating more for breakfast I would make my own egg sandwich with turkey sausage and a slice of cheese on a wheat english muffin. Also eat one of those Choboni Flip yogurts on lighter days. Those are my work…

Coconut creme donut? Oh my gosh. GIMMIE!!

Currently eating 2 oz of raw cashews. I don't log them though, since I use them to help with my depression. (Not sure if I would advise not logging them though, since 2 oz is about 300 cal)

Not sure how much protein is in it. 1 Frozen Banana 1 Cup Dark Chocolate Almond Milk 1 Serving of Chocolate Syrup (optional)

I've been having a Lean Cuisine with some fruit and a chocolate rice cake a few hours later when I get hungry again. I've also been making tuna sandwiches. Can of tuna, serving of mayo, 100 cal bagel thins.
