I can meal prep breakfast and lunch no problem, but snacks and dinner I struggle with a little. For snacks its just a matter of what I should eat. But dinner is only hard cuz my dad always asks me what I want to eat and we both have to go back and forth between me saying Idk, I have to suggest something or he will suggest…

Thanks..I think I'm going to keep on logging in but I'm trying out meal prepping to see if it helps me manage calorie counting better. If anyone has any tips and tricks to share with me about how to meal prep then let me know. I'm new to it but trying it out today

www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com helps me. She uses healthier options substituting stevia for sugar or sneaks fruit in there or uses a healthier flour. I personally eat everything I want in with my calorie deficit and it works for me.

Im not the type of person that enjoys eating the same things every single day..I have to have variety.

I think I'm just not really sure what to do about it. I like the fact that I can loose weight by counting calories but I don't like being calorie focused all the time where it is delaying me from eating until I figure out how many calories are in each food. I like the blogs on here and find the nutritional information and…

Idk maybe I can ignore it or something cuz it doesn't accept 1 or zero in the calorie counts or just deal with the calorie counting issue. I've tried journaling in the past but its harder for me to stick to compared to the app I use to log in. I've never focused too much on macros, I've always just set a calorie goal and…

Check out www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com it'll help you eat healthier desserts whenever you have a sweet tooth! It works for me...plus I just eat everything within my calorie goals so I don't have to give up food I love

For when your tempted you could try healthy treats and desserts that are sugar free and just swap out bad stuff for good stuff. www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com has helped me a lot when looking for lower calorie options or if I have a sweet tooth. I'm not the type of person that's eating 100 percent clean cuz I feel that it…

Real chocolate isn't so bad..Its over eating the processed chocolate that's bad but i usually eat whatever I want within calorie limits including stuff that is considered bad for us like cupcakes,pizza and pasta. But thankfully I've lost 10 pounds but cutting calories and exercising. Www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com has…

I have this problem to some extent too..but what usually do is try to pick something off the menu that either sounds good to me and is somewhat healthy,choose anything I want and pick something I want that may be lower in calories,or just pick whatever I want regardless of calories and just eat half of everything the serve…

I live in Macomb county now but I'm from the capac/Imlay city area in Michigan

My moment was when I went to events and social gatherings. Once when I was at a party with friends..I just ate a bunch of food for a lunch cookout and feeling insecure about how I looked,I looked down at my belly cuz. Felt really full and fat and noticed I didn't feel healthy,my belly stuck out as if I looked…

I have been cutting back pop lately and only drinking it around the holidays since I don't want to cut it out completely, so I'm looking for better alternatives too..I would reccomend trying out zipfizz as I just tried the orange soda flavored one..I'm not really a huge orange flavored fan but I feel like if you like…

So you are weighing at different times per day, with different clothes on et cetera? This could be nothing but normal fluctuations.[/quote] I'm not weighing in on a daily basis and often I weigh myself several months apart or just around holidays so I'm not sure if its normal weight fluctuations or not. At those times that…

Ok I'll definitely try that out and see what happens

Ok I definitely will..but as far as eating back exercise calories goes..how do I know specifically how much to eat back according to the percentages you gave me? How much is that calorie wise? Or do I just test it out on my own?

I'm eating 1560 per day and measuring using measuring cups cuz its all I have..I currently don't have a job yet since I was fired from my last job so I don't have any money at all to buy a food scale or my own weighing scale so all I'm going by is how loose my clothes are and weighing myself on other people's scales until…

I gained 6-7 pounds about 2 months ago according to the scale I weighed myself on but I don't have my own scale so I borrow my relatives and friends scale when I visit them. I do eat back exercise calories..not every single last one all the time but most of them if I need them or what to eat something and it seems to…

I used to have a similar problem except it wasn't in my ankles but my feet looked either swollen or like I was retaining water or something before I started losing weight. But after using myfitnesspal and adding exercise..the problem completely went away. Depending on your activity level,keep in mind that it might be poor…

I'm 25 and I'm 5' 1" ..my goal weight is the same 130 and my current weight is 156 pounds. My starting weight was 160 pounds. I lost 10 pounds,then gained 6 pounds but I'm pretty sure its muscle gain cuz my clothes feel looser on me and I look a lot better than I did before.

I haven't tried sparkling water yet at home but I might look into that or a really natural pop like zevia or something. I miss the carbonation,fizz and flavor especially,at first I really missed the caffeine but didn't get bad headaches that people talk about I just got really irratated and frustrated at first but that…

Thanks lol I did a bit of research and listened to what you guys were saying and realized when I actually visited the website..there wasn't anything backing up what they claim pop did to your body and realized its was over exaggerating how bad pop really is as probably a scare tactic to get people to stop drinking it but…

Since I can't deal with the idea of having a bun free burger or no Mayo or deconstructing something just so its healthier or lower in calories or avoiding drinks I like what I usually do works very well for me..what I do is surf the menu for something I like that might be on the healthier side too like if I want a chicken…

I started giving up pop even at restaurants but since Ive discovered that its very exaggerated about pop being that bad I think I'm going to just cut back instead of cutting it out completely. I still realize that pop is bad but if nothing is bad in small amounts I will probably just drink it around the holidays or…

I'm not too much of a veggie or fruit person either but I only like specific types of fruits and veggies. My dad was naturally a picky person when he was younger so that carried on to me and my siblings in different levels. If there are some types of fruits and veggies you do like then try to sneak them into your diet or…

Apparently my pictures don't show but click on the link and the picture is visible that way

I lost 10 pounds.. so happy how far I've come! And before I thought I had to give up carbs and mac n cheese to look thinner and healthier..so glad I was wrong about that lol I lost my love handles..a whole bunch of back fat,shoulder and arm fat,went down a jean size.I couldn't be happier with the results!…

Sweet potato pie flavored smoothie...its really filling,thick and yummy! It makes a good breakfast smoothie or filling snack. http://pin.it/bdp8UKr
