90% of the replies on this post are a dumpster fire of bad advice I can't blame her for not coming back :D - Check your activity level setting - Use a food scale for everything - Shoot for the minimum 1200/day and work up from there Aaaaaaaaand that about covers it! Best of luck, OP!

Kelsey Wells’s PWR program from Sweat...today was Chest and Arms and it was crazy 🤣 Super rewarding though! PWR: 45 minutes 2.0mph treadmill: 30 minutes

I am so proud for you! Way to go!

If I cut my salt too much I will be under siege by the baddest Charley Horses you’ll ever know 😭 Sprinkling some salt on your food won’t hurt at all (given that you’re not under any medical conditions).
-
Sounds like being concerned for you is a waste of time. With an actual health issue all those things you do could result in injury. Not that you should stop...but maybe you could unwad those britches a little bit and just say thanks for the concern.

ALL I can think of is Booty booty rockin’ everywhere :D Honestly I wish these diet fads could be regulated in some way. OP I’m glad this is giving you a boost and helping you stay motivated but please understand that this diet philosophy is a load of hog wash!
-
You are a ROCKSTAR my man! Way to friggin’ go!

Premium user here and that’s a big ole nope from me! The basic account has everything you need unless you’re wanting specific tweaks on your diary for fitness competitions.

Does Diet Pepsi count as a snack :D In all seriousness I LOVE low fat cottage cheese with some sugar free jelly or veggie straws dipped in spicy hummus. I’ll also cover a dill pickle in a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese and then wrap it in corned beef before cutting it into to slices...we call it Cowboy Sushi! I have a…

A week? Patience will take you far my friend.

At 5’1” I’m 135 and at a decent point...way better than where I started anyway! But I’m really hoping I can whittle down another 20 lbs next year (though I’m lifting so we’ll see where my body composition goes as more weight comes off).
-
Whew! It’s taken a few years from Photo A to B but I’m still going strong! About 85 pounds down so far with a handful to go.
-
Some of my favorites are: - Elk jerky (habanero flavored) - Cottage cheese with sugar free jelly - Boom chicka pop - Sharp cheddar cheese - Dill pickle spread with cream cheese and wrapped in corned beef (we call it cowboy sushi) - Greek yogurt + protein powder

Lived outside as a kid...we didn’t have electronics (save a single TV that was my Dad’s) or Internet. Still needed glasses by 6th grade haha!

Calling your Mother stupid makes you sound like an immature brat. Go fix your own food and be responsible for yourself for once =/
-
Oh my I am SO MAD that your Mom said that to you 😱 How awful! I am so sorry that she said that...it would’ve crushed my feelings as well.
-
Still going on my journey but it’s fun to see how far I’ve come 🙂 Pure CICO (macros aren’t top priority but I do watch them) mixed with 5x5 Lifting on M|W|F and cardio (I built up to interval running) on Tu|Th! I try to get at least 8K steps a day but I’m a graphic designer working at home so it’s tough some days haha!…
-
Holy wow...I’m so sorry. I couldn’t imagine my husband treating me that way (and I’ve been all sizes with him through the years). Please consider therapy for you two or at least sitting down together and being REALLY honest about your future. Loving you should never hinge entirely on how you look <3 Wishing you the best!
-
Oh man I’m glad you never ran into it! You should glimpse at the FB page “Dear Dependa ii” to get a look at the general attitude toward military spouses presently. It’s downright hostile! And oh man...those MLM parties! It’s a never ending cascade of folks trying to sell me stuff haha!
-
As a military spouse for over 10 years and a work at home mom I get it. It's hard. But it's substantially harder when you put yourself dead last and let your health take a toll. The name calling I hate...but there's absolutely nothing that can be done to change it. Two things are a constant in the military: Dodging the…

Honey sriracha chicken with veggie fried rice, grapes, and a nice side salad =) I don’t take really artsy food photos but I do take an overhead so I can have a visual catalog for future meal prep lists. This recipe is really popular in my house!
-
Mine is “don’t demonize a food group” =) Aside from an allergy of course. Carbs, fats, sugars...every macro has a place in my daily diet and I don’t avoid one more than the other!
-
I will fight someone to the death for their Peaches & Cream flavor at the moment haha! But to be fair I never have “real” ice cream (not even as a child) so I can’t reliably compare the two. I do love the brand though!
-
I drink plenty of water but I love diet soda and have one daily. No adverse effect on weight loss and it keeps my sweet tooth well under control! I quit smoking several years ago and I don’t drink alcohol so my Diet Pepsi can be pried my from cold, dead hands haha!
-
Ah thanks you guys for answering the CICO question! I was out of town and wasn’t checking MFP <3 But yes I just make sure the calories I eat are fewer than the calories I burn...and that’s all! I don’t particularly care where my carbs/fat/protein fall but 99% of the time they fall in a natural 40/30/30 ratio just from…
-
Not done yet but getting there! Plain CICO and cardio + weights since January made a big difference.
-
Very much so! Yesterday we reached 118 (Fahrenheit) with the heat index and it was too hot to do much of anything including eat @_@
-
I’m frustrated at the amount of people griping about a free app and threatening to quit xD Sure it’s annoying but is it worth a hissy fit? Nah.
-
Patience. 100% patience. I’m 5’1” but most of my friends are 5’5” and up. We all eat at around 1300 a day (which is too low for them but that’s not my place). I exercise my fanny off on top of that. But guess who is creeping on the scale while the others are blitzing past their goals? It’s hard not to compete with friends…
-
I don’t want to be that stereotypical fat military spouse that sits at home and does nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They have all kinds of cute names for us...Dependapotomus or Tricaratops to name a few. The more I can improve myself and avoid that sort of name calling the better!
