You're on the right track by adding volume with veggies. There are other frozen meals that are more satisfying, so maybe look in your freezer section for other ones that fit your calorie profile. I've had luck with Frontera bowls.

I have always had a hearty appetite and was complimented as a kid for clearing my plate. I love to eat.

This really helped me so I could see how many calories things like cheese and high-calorie condiments were infringing on my calorie targets. I would eat less of those in favor of something more substantial.

Clothes, running shoes and accessories and races, experiences. Not tied to specific weight loss goals, but when it feels right.

I have the Garmin Vivoactive 2 and tiny wrists. I do t think it's huge. I live my watch.

Have you tried physical therapy? Dry needling your calves and compression socks could also aid in relief. I stretch my feet every morning before I get out of bed by flexing and holding a flex in my feet for about 29 seconds before my feet hit the ground. I also started paying attention to my footwear. I was wearing Danskos…

I like having a gym membership, but I probably don't take advantage of it the way I should because I am primarily a runner and like to do that outside as much as possible. That said, I do really enjoy group exercise classes and the spin bike, but my current gym cut back on classes and I can't attend the ones I like when…

I use frozen meals from the store all the time and just manage them as part of my calorie goal. There's ones from a brand called Frontera that have a good calorie profile and are quite filling. I usually have an apple as "dessert" after for a sweet treat. I feel like all those special programs don't give you tools you need…

I'm a big fan of Les Mills on Demand.

I think it's awesome that youve lost so we'll without a food scale. I never felt that confident and liked the certainty of being within goal. You accide tally stumbled upon a good thing, which is knowing what maintenance looks/feels like. A couple things you can do to continue to lose are: increase your exercise to widen…

Your bread could be packing on a bunch of calories, too. Maybe find a lower calorie bread that you like so you don't have to skimp on the toppings.

Weight is a really personal thing. I love my husband and we have both struggled with out weights over the years. We are both keenly aware of the risks from being overweight and out of shape. However, a person's relationship with food and their weight is very personal. I choose to support my husband no matter where he is…

I have a Panache as well. Mine is a sports bra with underwire. I like the mechanism in the back that converts it to racerback style.

Wacoal underwire sports bra.

I lost 60lbs with just monitoring my calories and walking my dog.

A good self defense course and pepper or bear spray. Make sure you're carrying the hiking10 essentials with you. I trail run in remote areas and this is always top of mind. I'm not comfortable or skilled in carrying a firearm, so that's not an option for me.

Maybe keep room for th calories in the cookies and just enjoy your coffee. If its that important to you, don't change it. Reside your calories somewhere else to make up for it. There's no reason you can't keep something meaningful to you in your diet if it still fits within your goals. (My problem was always not being able…

I get up at 4am to workout or run. On my rest days, I go on a walk during lunch. It took a while to bake it into the routine, but once I realized I wanted to run, I made it the first thing I did every day for ME. I actually had to put myself first, and once I did that, it made everything else easier.

I had to put those unfair feelings aside and focus on what I could do to say "yes" to myself getting better. I can't control other peoples circumstances, I can only control my own.

Seeing improvements in my arms, probably more to do with keeping the weigjt off than actual recomp. Things do bounce back, it's just slow and steady. I'm proud of how I look and what I can do.

If walking doesn't irritate it, walking is AOK. I had to lose a lot of weight before running became comfortable. Chances are you have weak hips/glutes that are contributing to the knee pain. If you Google Myrtle Exercises, you will find some teqniwies to strengthen those areas and avoid pain while running.

I would definitely work with a medical professional and an ED treatment team regarding what is a healthy and safe calorie intake for you.

Can you start two months ago?

I eat a lot of carbs every day! I love carbs!

A renal diet is very specific and requires guidance if you have a medical condition. See a dietician under guidance from your doctor

Have thought about working with a therapist about your relationship with food? Your behaviors are worrisome.

I have lowered the amount of oil I use to cook. I use about half the oil called for in most recipes.

I remember feeling that way when I first started at 256lbs. I would go for walks every day at lunch and I always felt awkward and not worthy. I also felt like what I was doing was necessary, so I put on some headphones and good music or podcast and went about my business. I did invest in clothes that fit properly, even…

You didn't mention anything about tracking your calories. Are your currently managing your calories with the same vigor as your workout plan? Depending on your goals, eating at maintenance and doing recomp could be for you, OR general weight loss fitness. There's no way to target a specifc area for fat loss, but a calorie…
