I'm the exact same! I didn't like eating breakfast at all! It makes me think of eating the entire day, I'm always hungry later, I'm miserable when I try to "balance" my eating with day and night. I eat just fine and properly with all my meals at night. Plus I'm more productive and happier during the day :) Glad to see I'm…

Uh...no. You're wrong. I've tried small many meals and big meals throughout the day. I've tried filling foods and veggies and everything. I still overeat and can eat and have eaten just as much at night as I do now. In the end this has worked for me and I'm happy with it.

Same problem with me. I tried a LOT and ultimately settled on not eating during the day. I eat no more than like 100 calories in the day, tops 200 on weekends, and then eat my last 1000-1300 at home from 6pm-11:45pm. I love it ☺️❤️ but I know it's not for everyone. It can be hard resisting food for most of the time you're…

In the beginning I hated it however after three months I learned how to go to a "happy place" while listening to music. So I was in a zone and then time flies by! :) takes me now about 20 minutes to get into that zone and I can go for at least an hour

I used to do stairs for 45 minutes to an hour every other day to every day. It was high intensity, tough, and I lost quite a bit of weight/noticeably more fat. It was great in that regard...however It kills the knees lol! I actually got used to my knees being sore. I woke up in the morning and they hurt when i bent them.…

I didn't care how much I ate yesterday lol. I went to the gym for 2 hours just to ensure if I ate the 4000 I expected I would that I wouldn't feel badly. Then when the meal came and I ate and logged it, turned out to be about 1700. Not bad :) I ate at maintanence for the day. Quite pleased. Now for today I want some…

I actually decided to log it, for fun, see how much i ate how fat ill get. Welp, my meal came to like, 1700 calories? LOL Really not bad at all. I thought I would honestly hit 3000 for the day. Pretty pleased with myself, I enjoyed that meal immensely! :) Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Thank you! I have a goal weight, but I already got into the clothes (which was my main goal not a number). But I worried if I ate at maintanence now if perhaps I would lose being able to fit in the clothes with the 5lbs.

I won't. Don't care lol, I'm enjoying myself :)

Wow thank you for this! I will try this when I get the chance! I did try to make overnight oats and I LOVE IT! I put 1/2 cup oats with .65 cup of vanilla soy milk and stir. Then I put about 1 tbsp? of peanut butter and stir that in as best I can. I leave it, then hours later heat it up for 1.5 minutes, drop 1/3 cup of…

Im about to start learning. And it seems so simple but so many varities. One could never get bored!

wow, ive been googling and found SO MANY amazing recipes and information on this. And this article helps so much. THANK YOU! I am so pleased right now, I am going to try this this weekend! :)

I dont think so. It sounds semi-familiar but I really cant place this.

You're right, the elliptical is much more gentle on your body and the knees. :) I think the tredmill might be accurate in terms of calories burned, but in general for myself I learned that the elliptical is about 10-15% over in terms of calories burned. :) Just a food for thought for you OP. And when I work elliptical, i…

I was not completely strict and I did end up putting it on pause for some months (I maintained during that time though). But a huge help was I was surrounded by fit people. They, knowingly or not, REALLY motivated me to get in shape/skinnier. And i have, EVERYONE has noticed, and it's a nice feeling. Honestly the best…

Well I always literally assumed i'd stay the same weight. I really did, because i never really saw my weight move for like....8? years. Then one day, I stepped on the scale and saw I gained like 28lbs over what I normally weigh. After that i started to do exercises, except I never really had before? So I googled how to…

Today I found 'Butternut squash soup with apple' from publix deli, its apparently like 250 calories per 8oz? HECK YES I am very happy :) I enjoyed that soup SO.VERY.MUCH. I will be keeping an eye out for it again. However, I wish I knew if there was a canned version so I can have it when I so want. Time to google! :)

I personally think it's up to you. If you don't feel well doing excersising on an empty stomach I don't suggest it. I have done hit and I found I lost far quicker and looked Better than regular cardio. I think online stuff I read said similar but I'm on my phone so don't completely quote me. But as for fasting? IMO I have…

Thank you :) Ill try to be more careful or make it more obvious next time. :)

oh ok! I thought it was a joke because of the '...' and the very last line of 'dont comment on it'. But I could very well be completely misreading it. I assumed with the post of the picture at the top of the page it got a bit funny in here.

Wait is the person you are replying to being serious? I thought they were being sarcastic/humorous, hence my inappropriate response.

Im sorry, my jokes are apparently awful. It was supposed to be sarcastic/not actually serious. Ugh I should remember to write /sarcasm next time.

THIS. /being sarcastic and forgot to add that in so ugh on me!

I've seen negativity before in threads on MFP and online in general but I honestly think this one doesnt have any. Or I havent witnessed any? It seems just happily informative and really positive. :( Perhaps you have this thread confused with another thread or something? No one here seems to be rude or anything at all,…

Agreed :(

im laughing so hard with this thread. I love you all. But mainly the person who posted the 'glass case of emotion'

Hey we're the same lol! Nice to meet you fellow stat-haver :)

Im a 5'4 pear shape. I was 177 and a juniors 13, ladies 10 At 160 I was 11/ladies 8 At 148 I can just get into a size 9/ladies 6....also a size 4 dress ;) So I think about 10lbs per weight loss or so? Maybe 15?

Thank you :) I think you explained something I have been trying to figure out how to word for some time now! :) I dont think it's helpful to be told 'Are you a child? Can you not control yourself?' That isnt helpful or motivating, it puts me down. I dont know why people cant understand that those comments arent helpful.…

Im 5"4 SW: 177-178 CW: 148 GW: 135 (+ 5 pounds i expect ill gain once i start maintanence so it's really like 140) My goal range is to stay between 135-140. I want to be a size 6 in ladies pants, maybe size 4? But yeah size 6. And a small/xs in ladies tops. :)! I can fit into size 6 now but it's snug, so Im hoping another…
