If you're a dude with a higher calorie allotment you could also eat 1 1/2 burritos for more protein...

I make a breakfast burrito with a low carb & higher protein tortilla, scrambled egg, turkey chorizo, cheese, and WFoods version of tater tots. 400 cals and 28 or 29 grams of protein. A little more if you add some avo slices with your salsa or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Yes, please friend! We've got lots in common here!! Patience has been the key for me... Just plain ole simple patience. Spread that shiz all around during this process. I'm not going to scold and nag and shame myself. I'm too old for that approach!

I popped back to say I do log one-offs that keep me from gym dates if I feel they're equivalent & that will explain why I missed. So no I don't log gardening in general but if I spend 45 minutes wheelbarrowing mulch around my property or attacking a stump for removal & skip yoga I will consider logging that as quid pro…

Rankinsect you are a treasure here on the boards. Now will you PLEASE address the people who say 'oh hon you need to change up your workout routine because once your body gets use to something you stop burning calories from it.' I could go bald tearing out my hair at that one. LOL

After several days of miserably low steps due to testing, parties, work, etc I managed to get two decent days in a row! 10735 steps Sunday, 4.6 miles and 13732 steps Monday, 5.9 miles. Still nowhere near 100k steps a week but I am resigned to the fact that the holiday season is a sticky wicket and I need to be patient with…

OMG Bruce!!! Sooooooo impressed! I want to get that one for my birthday in May with an epic hike around SF. Rest up; you've earned it.

Like all the rest of us! LOL I log everything & just move on to a new day. All you need is more good days than bad; you'll never have only good days.

Don't go there. Recognize that kind of thinking as the self indulgence it really is: you will NEVER be perfect so basically you have given yourself a built in opt-out for whenever things get tough. Nope! This time you are going to stay the course and master the utter self abnegation of being perfectly flawed.

I do body weight stuff here there and everywhere, usually with my cat bitching in the background that she wants to be fed.

Working mom. Two jobs: school sub & weekend caregiver. No littles left, youngest is 13. Sometimes single when husband works far away for a stretch. No help, paid, familial or other. Yes for the love of god carry sneaks at all times & walk whenever you can! Also, make gym dates like dentist appts... unbreakable. (That's…

I do have one designated weight loss buddy and we talk about EVERYTHING

When I'm chubby, carrying a purse & trying to wear heels all at once I bear a very strong resemblance to robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire. Dress sizes? Don't even get me started!!! I only wear dresses that stretch.

I worked in landscaping and I'm kinda carney side show strong.

I'm 5'6" Currently about 177. Don't know my measurements at the moment. Wearing 10s in jeans. Medium in tops, sweaters, jackets. Still wear my same coats, mostly larges for layering. I have a hella broad pair of shoulders on me that won't be going anywhere via weight loss. I'll never be a small on top. At 200 lbs I wore 12…

@idp1980 ... Rawrrrr! Cougar sez ittsa working!!

Beautiful, people, just beautiful!

Remember: you'll never be as YOUNG as you are right now, today!!

This is after working there almost 20 years #immarriedtosheldoncooper #noitsnotfunny

You guys sound like my husband. He's a little OCD and he finally got called out by his coworkers at their periodic potlucks. Turns out there were only 2 or 3 people he deemed 'safe' to eat what they made. LOL

Oh yes enjoy the many many many adult pleasures of NOLA

It is true that losing immediately helps your joints & ligaments. I've lost 10% of my body mass & it feels great!

I never actually cook Paula deen recipes but she's a bloody cultural resource for us calorie counters! Hahaha

Oh guesstimating works fine! What the lady said: if you're losing its working... I just look for a Paula deen equivalent in the database & figure that's my best worst-case-scenario number. LOL

I'm enjoying the spiced flat white this holiday season. About 112 cals, no added sugar & some protein from the milk. Festive & warming!

Oh I am ruthless too. I only want to eat what I really want, period! But here in Sonoma county the hungry are constantly present & visible. They live in camper van villages, bike path overpass nooks & crannies, city parks, creeksheds. They are at multiple intersections. I helped give out 114 holiday food boxes to them at…

Yes! Just added some photos to that new feature in the weight tracking area & whoa Nellie! I looked like one of Sonoma county's legendary happy cows! LOL

@Kimegatron ... Oh honey! That's gonna be FUN... My favorite city!!

I agree with above. The worst that has happened to me is I have plateaued for a week. I use my Fitbit weekly average weight to cancel out data noise and when I did a restaurant laden road trip the week before thanksgiving + ate 4000 calories on thanksgiving day I posted a .10 of a pound increase week over week, and then…

More daylight for walking!! Squee!!
