Yes!!! Thought it was just me! I prelog all the time.

Cycle of fat loss? Meaning eat at a deficit for a while then gradually go back to muscle building? I ask because I'm in the same boat with her on recomp. I'm 5'8" 128-130 and following Jamie Eason's LiveFit program. I agree you should do full body exercises rather than split them up. I've been on a recomp now for 3 weeks…

If you have a trader joes or could find something similar i have loved eating their Mexican black bean quinoa burger with two eggs. It's filling, healthy and like an unwrapped Mexican breakfast burrito! Usually I do egg whites with a mix in of peppers or a slice of ham -Peanut butter toast with honey -Greek yogurt with…

But why would someone in great shape be ashamed to be honest with what they eat. Maybe she eats another snack before lunch but the article didn't really elude to that fact. Anyways just baffles me!

Awesome. I love curry! Will have to try.

Carrot apple muffins, eh? I made carrot coconut muffins once that were amazing. I use my kitchen aid for batter mixes, never thought about the blender.

Wow thanks everyone! I'm going to go with the charge. Costco has it for $124 but only in black. And yes, I noticed today the dual pack of flex is an extra band...it all makes sense now. Can't wait!!

Well a few things... Having a lighter lunch could risk you over eating at dinner time. When a pizza night with friends got scheduled I ate sensibly all day to account for the high calories in the evening but I found I could have really eaten more and it was hard to stay on track. Once in a while this works if you have the…

What kind of craving? Here's my list of snacks I work into my day: -Sweet potato pop chips (LOVE) -Trader joes dark chocolate espresso beans (just a few not a full serving does the trick for some chocolate) -plain Greek yogurt with a bit of honey and pistachios or 1tb granola or if I really have the room in my day I mix in…

Will have to try this! I love chipotle flavors. I make mine with chopped red pepper, green onions, parsley, garlic, and 2 tsp of fiesta ranch from the dry packets....I could eat them everyday!!

I make a fiesta turkey burger that has chopped red peppers, red onion, green onions, garlic, parsley, and 2 tsp fiesta ranch from the packet (it has msg, but I can't seem to replicate it at home)….I eat them chopped up on lentils, salads, topped with tomato and avocado, and of course as a burger with cheese and…

Sent you a friend request!

I started drinking lemon water (1/2 squeezed lemon with room temp tap water) in the morning before breakfast several months ago. No magic weight loss but it does often cleanse your system ;). I don't do it everyday but My friend swears by it. She drinks it with a dash of cayenne per recommendations from "food babe"

Perhaps you're not eating enough protein. Oatmeal is great but it might not be what you need. Try looking at your macros over the last few days and see where you land. Maybe up the fat and protein since you're mountain biking.

I don't have advice but just wanted to say we're very much alike!! I'm 5'8 128 and just switched to maintenance calories two weeks ago when starting Jamie Eason's LiveFit program. My calculated average TDEE is about 1880. I'm going to take measurements soon and track my progress that way and how I generally feel/look. Good…

So true! I was recently at the hospital for minor "surgery" and 4 different nurses took my BP and asked if I was a marathon runner because it was 100/60 or a touch lower. Nope!! Just been working my butt off...not literally...I'm trying to build a butt! Lol.

Anything goes as long as it's not loaded with processed junk...just google search what you like. There's no 1 turkey/chicken dish that will aid in weight loss...anything goes if it's within your calorie goals. If you're tracking what you eat keep it simple! Grilled chicken, turkey burgers, meatballs, rotisserie…

I feel that way inside. Major eye roll!! Lol.

Wonderful! Love this.

I had pizza cake and ice cream last night but it fit within my day because I knew of it ahead of time. Feel proud you're eating things you enjoy AND its within your goal. That's a step in the right direction already. I only feel "guilty" when I cheat on days there's no room but I pick up the next day and start fresh

Consider it done and dusted and move on. No need to dwell on it. Sometimes it's good to refuel the system

Write down your goals and make them visible. Commit to one day at a time. You're headed in the right direction...you just need to keep moving there.

Agree. 2nd opinion. I worry you're causing more harm than good for yourself long term.

First thing first...depression and suicidal thoughts need attention before your weight. That's a HUGE part of your overall health and not to be taken lightly. From there... Find your TDEE. Use MFP to track your food. Start an exercise program (I just started jamie Eason's free 12 week live fit) and stick with it! If…

That's awesome!! Don't be worried at all. My hubby is an avid cyclist both mountain and road and he would test his heart rate first thing in the morning to track his fitness progress. I just had minor surgery a few weeks ago and my BP was 100/60. I had 4 different people take my BP over the course of the day and they all…

You go girl! I love you with long hair!!

Awesome! I'll add you as a friend. I do all the workouts at home with free weights. Loving it so far!

I think the topic of milk can be a controversial topic depending on the crowd. I tend to hear people say that the only milk you should drink is vitamin d because all others are stripped of nutrition. I never did because it was higher in fat and The only time I consumed it was with other fattening items (cake,cookies). I…

I'll add you! I just started Jamie Eason's 12 week LiveFit program. What are your goals?

Always. My mom and I were just having this conversation!! We were googling potassium rich foods and like "we eat that!!" My potassium average last week was around 1200 or less. Maybe a multivitamin rich in potassium would make us superheroes
