I only weigh in weekly and make adjustments as needed. :(

For me, motivation comes from my results that I see and from ppl commenting on my changes (the one I cannot see). I see myself every day so sometimes I don't see the physical changes. They will come with time. Like others have said. This site does help. Log, adjust and log again. Set achievable goals (maybe will not be…

I average about 2.8# per week based on 5 weeks. Sometimes its more, sometimes its less. Sounds like a good start to me. A good motivator.

This is what will happen when you actually care about what you put in your body. What starts out as a diet or trying to eat better just becomes the status quo. A lifestyle.

I don't do Quest but I like the Kind brand bars.

I cheat all the time. OR live, however you want to call it. (Ok, maybe not all the time.) But my cheat meals aren't usually all that un healthy. Just more caloric than usual. Instead of 4-8oz steak, I'll do 16oz. for example. Its good for your body to 're-eat' every once in while. One meal a month, we carb load. <-These…

Make an salad for a snack. Kale chips are really good. I/we always have black grapes, strawberries, apples and usually pineapple handy for a quick sweet fix. I tend to stay away from oranges and bananas but thats me.

Go by how you feel and how your clothes are fitting. The scales are bad IMO. Don't look into mirrors expecting to see a change either. You will not see it. Take a pic(selfie), every two weeks and compare.

Agreed /\. And just because its low carb doesn't mean it is good. Watch out for a lot of sugars in 'low-carb' meals.

myfitnesspal.com/recipe/view/172631549497133 Here is mine. Varies slightly depending on the fruit used, but what is listed are the goto ones. Also, I switch between broccoli and spinach/kale every so often

Cottage cheese (low fat or fat free).

I drink about a gallon daily

Fighters at my gym use the sauna to cut water weight before weigh ins, thats about it.

I do boxing and very high cardio fitness classes that each burn anywhere from 500-800 calories per hours (estimated of course). 2 of these in a day can easily burn 1000-1600 per day. I look at it this way. My MFP say to eat 1200 cals/day. I try to keep my numbers green. Anywhere from 0 to 500 in the green because that will…

I do Krav, Boxing, BJJ, Muay Thai..all the extreme fitness' that I can. Have been since the beginning of the year.

I just have a cheap on from Wal Mart. Not digital. But I don't weight whole plates, just individual items.

I like to go by the way my clothes are fitting. I went from an XL shirt to a L and moved up a belt loop. Inches lost, to me, are better than weight lost.

Krav maga, muay thai, BJJ, boxing. Im a member of an MMA type gym. Roughly 5-7 hours (combined) per week.

No need to repeat what has already been said. BUT..hang in there, you have just hit a plateaued, the cheat meal is actually good for you. Your body will get back to it.

I make about 10 hard boiled eggs at a time. That is 2 per day for my work week. I make enough salad for about a week in a big bowl but then portion it out for meals. I use a lot of deli meat (turkey and chicken mostly), I weigh it out and pre-make my sandwiches. I use bagel thins, flat rounds or wraps (whole wheat). Have…

Truth right here

Common theme here: log everything. You really do not know what is going on unless you do. And if its not in the MFP, use something fairly 'similar'. But log everything that goes in your body And--loss is loss. Just keep at it. Pre-packaged food aren't really the best for you either. A lot of sodium (sodium = water…

Broccoli is a negative calorie food. It take more calories to burn it than it contains
