Highly recommend this video for quick, fun, challenging workouts. And very unique for a workout video. http://kickasslife.leadpages.co/fightingfit/

Thanks everyone! I u ser stand it takes time, I was just confused that it went up again, and by so much, rather than just maintaining or changing by 1/2 a pound or so. But the body is a complex thing I guess :)

Try an over the counter Probiotic!

I figured as much, thanks. I think I'll stick with the digital since it's easier to read. However a 1.4lb "gain" after a day of good dieting doesn't seem accurate..? It shouldn't be water weight after the day of good eating and drinking water

Broccoli slaw spaghetti: sauté some broccoli slaw with onions, garlic, basil, and oregano. Mix in your favorite pasta sauce; delish! Breakfast for dinner: poached eggs over sautéed greens (spinach and collared greens are my favorites), onions, and mushrooms. Serve with a piece of toast, juice, a piece of fruit, or a cup of…

A side salad with a light vinaigrette dressing (I do mixed greens, celery, carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes with light Italian) and a Boca Original Vegan Burger on 1 sandwich thins roll with some spinach and tomatoes or low sugar ketchup. Should come out to around 350calories for the whole lunch :)

1/2 cup oats 1 cup water 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder Strevia sweetener (to taste) Microwave in 1 minute increments until all water has been absorbed

I'll start :) Broccoli slaw spaghetti: Ingredients - 1 bag broccoli slaw 1/2 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic 1/2-3/4 cup red sauce of choice (I like Psst Garlic and Herb) Directions: spray nonstick pan with cooking spray. Sauté the onion and garlic. Once translucent, add the broccoli slaw with 1/4-1/2 cup of water. Cook…

Arctic Zero Cookie Shake icecream (150cals per pint!)

Not sure what ENDO is or what your macros are; seems like very high protein? How about a smoothie/shake with: -2 scoops chocolate protein powder -1 serving spinach -1 banana or 2 sugar free jello pudding cups Total calories ~300-350

I did the same thing with a vegetarian mushroom stroganoff and without the butter. It was delicious!

@auddii lol, beautifully put. Thanks for all the input everyone! I won't worry about it :)

So if I ate 1600cals every day with no extra exercise, I'd gain weight? (Good thing I exercise...)

Try writing down how you feel and why you want to eat. Write at least a page or for at least 10 minutes. If you still want food after that, have ONE serving and repeat the process. Usually after writing the first time though, I realize I don't really want the food and I feel better. If writings not your thing, you could…

I've had very similar experiences. The longest the water weight lasted was probably 1-1.5 weeks for me. I recommend drinking lots of water, being aware of sodium intake, and continue exercising. Don't restrict yourself anymore than usual as a means of "punishment". Just get back on the horse and continue to ride; we all…

This is literally one of my favorite dinners, with some sautéed kale and roasted Brussels sprouts on the side. Yum!

I like this idea. Sustainability is really important to me, so I should celebrate my bday in a way I want to celebrate it for the rest of my life. I also agree with what others have said about this being a lifestyle change. As part of my change and the way I think I want to celebrate my bday for now on, I think I'll have…

-sauté a portobello mushroom cap in a little oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. -sauté spinach and onions to the side of the mushroom -fry an egg (I like sunny side up, but over easy is good too) and season with salt and pepper -serve the egg inside/on top of the mushroom cap with the spinach/onions…

Try just a single sunny-side up egg over sautéed greens (I usually do spinach) with fruit on the side. Not overly-filling but still satisfying. Or you could do just a single serving of oats (1/2 cup) with cinnamon and stevia or brown sugar. It's pretty satiating without being bloating. Side note: these are both pretty…

Sauté some onions and broccoli slaw in a little olive oil or cooking spray, then add some tomato/pasta sauce. It tastes like vegetable spaghetti (I mean that in the most delicious way possible). Also, just raw veggies (carrots, celery, snow peas, cucumber, etc) with hummus is a nice go-to snack

Try to enjoy the process if at all possible; it'll make you more willing to work towards your goals slow and steadily, and be more sustainable. I learned to enjoy the process by looking up healthy and delicious recipes, experimenting with food, and setting (and attaining) goals for my workouts. Seriously, cooking can be so…

Celery with cream cheese, cherry tomatoes, salt & pepper. Sounds weird, but really good!

A whole package of Dole Light Caesar Salad Kit is voluminous and yummy with less than 300cals (I think). Mix in a can of light tuna for some added protein :)

Also, I know it sounds silly, but try not to stress too much. Stress can cause your body to do a number of things that could make it LOOK like your gaining weight (or not losing at the rate you should be). And like everyone else said, just try to make sure you're logging everything accurately Don't get discouraged! It's a…

Zucchini lasagna; there are plenty of recipes online! Cauliflower rice burrito bowl: "Rice" cauliflower florets in a blender or by grating it on a cheese grater. Then just sauté it with black beans, salsa (or tomatoes), and greens of some sort (I like Kale, mustard greens, or turnip greens) Veggie burgers with roasted…

And @CariLynn67 thank you for sharing!

Thanks for all the information, everyone! Especially @RuNaRoUnDaFiEld for your inspiring story :)

Protein smoothie: Banana 1 scoop chocolate protein powder 1 tbsp nut butter 1/2 cup Greek or fat-free yogurt Handful of spinach Sweetener of choice if needed (I like stevia) Proats: 1/2 cup oats (dry) 1 scoop flavored protein powder (I prefer chocolate) Dash of cinnamon or 1 tbsp nut butter High-protein lunch idea: 1 can…

Sautée it with some onion, broccoli, Kale, and your favorite spices (I like chilli powder, garlic, salt, pepper, and a bit of cayenne)! Never had it cold, but I doubt it'd be bad

1 bag of pop secret 100 cal butter popcorn 4 tbsp PB2 with celery, carrots, or an apple A buttload of cherry tomato halves with salt and pepper Fat free Greek yogurt with agave 1 pint Arctic zero ice cream (only 150cals!) Kale chips or seaweed flakes
