What is your height, current weight, and the number of calories you settled on? :)

Vancouver Island (British Columbia) girl here. Feel free to add me, fellow Canadians! :)

Basically agreeing with what other people have said here. Great advice!

One of the best things I did for myself was to set a reasonable (not too severe) calorie deficit, and to figure out how to eat so that I was satiated and happy rather than 'starving'. For me, 'stereotypical diet foods' like grilled chicken and veggies just aren't the way I like to eat! Satiety is very individual but for me…

A++ thread, would recommend! A great one for newbies to see. :) Let's keep it bumped!

Oh gosh, the possibilities are endless! Hard tacos, enchiladas made with corn tortillas, quinoa salad, chili of all kinds, Filipino chicken adobo, West African groundnut stew, Thai curry, butter chicken, daal, shepherd's pie with tomato gravy, ginger beef and broccoli with gf soy sauce, Moroccan stew... I suggest thinking…

Going to second the 'if you have food allergies or sensitivities, it's on you to ask' sentiment. My partner is celiac, and even with people we've known for years and trust deeply we'll double check on certain ingredients, because people make mistakes. And those are people who already know he's celiac! If he didn't tell a…

Another Kaizen fan here, but I think it's more common in Canada than other countries. I like their chocolate just fine and it's great for baking. Awesome tip about coffee protein powder though. :open_mouth: I never thought of that!!

There's a HUGE difference -- especially in your face! You're looking great and should be proud of what you've achieved. :) Your wife clearly loves you very much AND knows you well. Sometimes we just need the objectivity of a stranger's opinions rather than relying on our own skewed perspective or taking the word of someone…

I'm 5'5 (SW 160, CW 131, GW 125) and have been in the process of for just over 6 months, 1lb per week at first and then down to .5lb per week as I got closer to goal. Most people didn't start noticing until about the 3-4 month mark even though I started noticing big changes in myself by the end of month 1. Honestly, it…

I love them but they're waaaaaay too expensive where I live to be anything other than a special occasion treat.

My partner and I make smoothies every morning for breakfast and LOVE them. So much room for variety, deliciousness, nutrients, and protein. Our go-to recipe has a number of ingredients but is a great base and makes a fantastic smoothie every time. Frozen fruit and spinach help cut down on costs, as does buying dry…

Thank you. <3 It was mostly the shock of it that caught me off guard: I hadn't realized that uploading a picture there posted it to a public gallery, either! Neither the vulgar comments ("suck my *kitten*", etc) or rude comments ("I don't see any difference", etc) were quite what I was expecting, given how lovely and…

First of all, WELL DONE. You've worked hard for your success and should be proud of yourself!! Second of all, these are some primo truck stop tips. They are in no way relevant to my life or diet personally and even *I* can tell that this is some straight-up advice gold. Well done you!!
-
Wow, that's amazing!! You look incredible!!
-
Not quite at goal yet, but here's me in May 2013 (at my highest weight) versus me in October 2017 (now): 160lbs vs 132lbs. I still can't quite process that it's me in the right picture!!! ETA: I have discovered through this experience that imgur has a public gallery, and that uploading a picture to it automatically posts…

What timing! I literally just made up some pumpkin spice protein pancakes, and enjoyed them so much I posted the recipe. Here you go! I hope they suit your tastes. :)
-
Those responses sounded like tough love to me, not rudeness. That is the kind of feedback you open yourself up to by posting on a public forum: different opinions and approaches to answering the question you asked. In the future, if you feel that a response is more straightforward or blunt than you would like, you don't…

I just had Cool Whey ice cream for the first time! I'm on Vancouver Island in BC and I've either nevwr noticed it before or it's a recent addition here. We got the salted caramel and it was incredible; slightly 'butterscotch ripple' in flavour, but so creamy and luxurious and yummy! It's a touch pricey at $7.80, but so are…

Not usually if it's cleaning that's part of my daily routine. However, I've added it a few times for mega-cleaning days where I do considerably more active cleaning than unusual. We had a guest coming to stay this week, which meant me scrubbing the bathroom from top to bottom, emptying out the spare bedroom closet, and…

Canadian, but very much not the same tiresome. In BC!
-
That's awesome!! Congrats!!!

Where are you from? Kaizen brand is great up here in Canada, but I don't know if it's available in other countries.
-
It sounds like you have agreat mindset. :) Welcome and congratulations for starting! My greatest revelation in this process is that I don't have to feel deprived for it to be effective. Friend request sent. :)
-
I would love to be friends! :) I'm on here every day, log honestly, and am serious about changing my habits too.
-
Oh man, I've found my people! Canadian and all-around nerd here. :) DnD, anime, superheroes, fantasy, scifi -- I'm here for it all! Finally getting around to dealing with my physical self as well as indulging my fandom self, heh. ❤ Feel free to add me!
-
I'm from BC! Feel free to add me, Canadians! I can always do with more Canuck friends. :D

Feel free to add me! I'm 5'5, 27, SW 160, CW 143, GW 130. I've used this app unevenly in the past, but this is my first time dedicatedly logging everything and focusing on weight lifting in a slow but steady way. Four months in and feeling great, but those last 12lbs will be hardest to lose and then comes the challenge of…

Welcome to the community side of things! Feel free to add me if you want to take advantage of the 'social media' side of the app as well.

I'm 5'5 and a half and 150lbs as well. Feel free to add me! Accurately logging your food and not aggressivelu eliminating the things you love will get you more sustainable, long-term results.
