Planning and pre logging. Scaling food. Placing utensils on my plate to savor the texture and flavor between bites. Drinking more water. Staying close or near my calorie requirements. Exercise, mountain hiking. Just moving more. Learning what foods fuel my body. (energy) Taking each day one at a time. Being accountable for…

Congratulations! A new addition is a blessing! Don't beat yourself up. Try a healthy lifestyle and recoup. You know how to lose weight and when your ready you will!

At first it was always about CICO. Then I started watching macros with CICO. If I dont eat enough protein Im really hungry. I was eating too much sodium, fat and carbs. So I incorperated more protien and there it was.. getting fuller quicker.. more energy no more cravings. I was at the store yesterday.. and went to the…

No. I never bank calories. Too much messing around too low one day to high another dont work for me. Macros are my concern. If I don't get enough protien I feel off. If somethings coming up..a party/ get together then I will eat a very small breakfast and lunch. I try to stay steady as possible and not go over my alloted…

Not into cheating myself. This is asked nearly every day. Whats the point in cheating? Are you so deprived you cant restrain yourself? Eat within your alotted calorie intake. If your eating 1200 calories its nearly wrong everytime. Look up your TDEE. Most people start off with way to few calories. I track every single…

Completely!! I feel so much better...look better..clothes fit better. Im proud of my achievements. I don't cheat myself. Realizing protein gives so much energy. Ive been focusing on macros instead of just watching calorie intake. Yes its a total transformation in everything. Ive learned so much about control. Noones going…

No..just no. I take pride in being accountable for everything I eat. The only one your cheating is yourself. So you eat good watch your intake and then blow it with cheating? Thats a setback and a way to get into bad eating habits to send you on a down ward spiral of cravings all over again. Eat what you like as long as…

This is what happens when you eat extremely low calories. Once you start eating your going to retain water and start gaining weight. Been there done that. Your not getting all the nutrients your body needs so it will hang on to everything you eat. Seek a therapist to help with your return to normal eating. You will need it.

Drink water. Sometimes our body cant tell from hunger or thirst. Drink a liter of water and decide if your still hungry. I used to get hungry but not anymore. It took a while to get used to eating 1450 calories a day.

Its too hard to set a date. Its dissapointing to get there and not meet expectations and easier to give up. One day at a time. Patience and determination. I will make sure to be accountable for myself. Thats my goal.

What? Drink water. Your body needs it. Dont cut back on fiber either. Adjust your calories TDEE. You may not be eating enough. 1200 calories im sure is way to low. Never go under 1200 calories.

Just eat some of the popcorn. Log it and move on. You should not be grieving because you go over your daily allotted calorie intake. You are human and its ok to go over once in a while. Log it and move on...However you are attaching emotions with food. If you think you have a eating disorder you should talk to a…

Yes! I had set it to 2 pounds a week at first like many do.. it was not enough calories at all. When I changed it to 1450 calories I feel so much better and still losing. When I incorporated more protein the better I feel...have more energy. Some days I go over a hundred or so calories if needed. It really doesnt feel like…

Buy a food scale. I read a post regarding food scales a few months back....it really makes a difference. Good luck on your journey!

No. CICO.

Bacon is ok.. Nothing to get worked up about. No way would I eat daily calories on bacon alone. Gross. A BLT once in while is ok. I dont get obsessive over food. To each thier own.

I had dental surgery today. Broken crown and the tooth under it was no good. Eight stiches. I want to eat but in pain. I tried soup but only the liquid and a snack pack...maybe tomorrow will be better. If I would of known I was having surgery I would of had something really good!!!

I love shopping for clothes.. 18 pounds until my goal.. Right now I will stick to handbags as I have plenty of clothes that fit from a size 6 in jrs. (a few years ago) to a size 11/12 and now a size 9/10

For me..when I eat junk food I get hungry sooner. When I eat boneless skinless chicken breast or turkey breast with a cucumber salad and a small amount of almonds im good for hours. I try to avoid anything with a lot of sugar. Just because it does the same thing and or makes me feel kinda sick. Try air popped popcorn.…

Me too!! Love Keen...have several pairs of hiking boots and a pair for trail walking. They are great for hiking...especially waterproof boots. I mountain climb year round..and my feet stay warm and dry. A bit expensive but worth every penny.

Me too. Jr jeans just fit me better and I also like boot cut. If your looking for a flattering fit try Silver jeans. I love the style and fit. They are numbered instead of sized. A nice bonus is they manufacturer this brand in plus sizes too.

Maybe add some carbohydrates to your diet.
