Food manufacturers are allowed to round the calories on the labels. They also are allowed to leave out calories from fiber. My 180 calorie cereal really has 220 based on the macros. I usually have a few rounding error calories left over. Don't let it drive you crazy,and always go by your macros.

I'll join you over there.

Hi Trista. Unfortunately, it looks like this group isn't very active. There is a Facebook group, IIFYM Women, that is very active on the other hand. You'll find lots of support there.

I'll just leave this here http://blackgirlsguidetoweightloss.com/conscious-consumerism/just-say-no-to-waist-trainers/

I think you should find a workout you actually enjoy.

It's a good idea to take a maintenance break every 8-12 weeks. So yes, I'd suggest eating at maintenance for 2 weeks and then resume your deficit.

Bunping because I just started on Monday.

I go in the morning before work. If I worked out afterwards, there's too great a chance that something will come up or I'll just not feel like it.

Congrats! Happy anniversary!

Congrats!

I've been lifting heavy for a month and a half now and I'm loving the results so far. I'm especially in love with my new shoulders.

Today was the day when the over sized children left their toys (plates) around. I normally lift on Sun/Tues/Thurs, but I missed yesterday. I've gone on Fridays before, but the people today particularly got under my skin. There was this guy taking up the cage while he bounced all around the gym. I like to do my deadlifts in…

You have told that story before, but it's still a good one. I binged this thread and recall seeing it.

I just bought a new, smaller belt!

I'd like more friends too!

I'm rather relieved to know we can be inappropriate here. I'm with you on the sex life aspect ;) Request sent. Anyone feel free to add me as well.

Cool. I hope you're happy with whatever you ultimately decide on.

I don't have either device, but I have ordered an Oura (https://ouraring.com/). I especially liked how it focused more so on the sleep aspect of things and measures how well you recover from daily activities. I'm excited to get mine. Perhaps it may have more of the features you're looking for.

I refrigerate it to keep the oil from separating again.

I treasure my soy Cinnamon Dolce Latte with Whip, so I'll only get them once in a while now. And when I do get them, it's more of a real treat. But you can slash calories by using sugar-free syrup and skipping the whip.

I loved reading this thread from beginning to end. I actually frowned when I got to the end. I've only been lifting for a month, so hopefully I'll have more stories to share. Canadianlbs, you're an amazing writer and if that's not already your profession, you should consider it. My BF and I work out together on Sundays,…

The guy I'm currently dating is 15 years older than I am.

I'm just starting over again, so nowhere near maintenance. However I did lose 50 pounds before and within a few months was gaining again. I'll likely need to track forever, and I'm ok with that.

When I go out to eat, I go to enjoy that meal and company I'm with. I'm not going to obsess about what the nutritional profile is. Food should be enjoyed. If the majority of your diet is made up of healthy, cooked at home meals, an occasional restaurant meal is something to indulge in.

Hi there. I need to lose the same amount of weight you do and I'm the same height. This time around, I'm going to try the IIFYM method (If it fits your Macros) I read through this entire thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1276219/i-went-from-morbidly-obese-to-6-pack-abs-ask-me-anything/p1 and it was an…

I'd love to have some new friends.

Hi Nick. I've been reading through this page all week and must say that I'm impressed with your results and the wealth of information you've provided here. You're very thorough, so I don't think I have any questions at the moment. I lost 50 pounds in 2008 and put it back on and then some. This time around I'll try your…

I wear an 18 at 227 lbs. I carry most of my weight in my bottom half, so if it's an A-cut dress, I can wear a 16.

I too am using getting healthy for a baby as motivation. I'm a few years out, but I might as well get started now.

I'm starting over again too this week. Hopefully for the last time!
