I'm a home brewer. I love Ipa's. I just stay within my carb allowance. I treat it like a snack

Down to 204 from how much weight? I started from 237 and I'm down to 210.

Regaining your stamina!

Ummm ok.

I put an emphasis on the plan of not dieting,but living healthier. This was after failing round one on MFP miserably. Lost 27 lbs two yrs ago and gained 17 back. This time I payed more attention to better recipes and food. The truth is exercise plays a small percentage in weight loss . I had to get a handle on my voracious…

Dove Chocolate . Nuff said!

Break out the prune juice and eat a large bowl of canned spinach with balsamic vinegar. Works for me every time.

Oops I ate burnt toast and butter. Will that give me cancer too?

I incorporate a cheat day once a week. Preferably on Sundays. It's a relief and I still skip my snack in order to load up on lunch or dinner. I still end up losing, because I have a conscious boost from it to lose more. It's like a vacation.

Hmmm guess it does not recognize a plateau .

Lie and say that you have a heart condition and that food will make it worse. Hehehe

It's possible with running long distances every day.

Patience with vigilance. It may take several weeks per pound. Use the libra app for progress.

Sweet potatoes.

Acceptance is difficult with the majority of dieters. We must accept and believe that we can not return to our old eating habits. The new norm (eat to live instead of living to eat) is my future. I believe I will stick to my new routines of healthier eating choices this time around and that this will stick permanently.

I am. Just using pushups as a gauge. I also do knee bends , dead lifts ,burpees, pull down cable exercises. Just trying to get tone then I will bring on the . I don't enter a gym and workout at home. I have self esteem issues from man-boobs.

If you want serious motivation, look at fitness YouTube videos. Start with removing Man boobs. Then branch from there. Lots of good stuff. Your on the right track. I started with dumbbells and calisthenics because I was 50 over weight. That extra weight makes push ups extremely Difficult. Then when I'm dropping weight and…

Good luck

Worth a try. I'm doing it and let you know how it turns out.

Gorge on high water volume low calorie foods. A pot of steamed broccoli and other veggies. Eat sliced cucumber in a bowl of vinegar water. Your having sugar and carb cravings. Lower your carbs till the sugar cravings subside because your insulin levels will decrease.

Kudos ladies if that is what it takes.

I use an app called libra . Log in every day . Surprisingly it can show a linear downward trend of my same weight loss goals of 1.5 pounds weekly. My weight goes up and down and over a months time it shows a 6 Pound loss.

Worst worst worst thing you can do is beat yourself up. As stated you recognized what you did now log it and move on.

Your mind says one thing and your cravings tell your mind another. Go shopping and start with buying healthy foods with low sugar. You may have the sugar and carb cravings . Eat lots of low calorie food with water content. Drink water before meals to feel fuller during your meal. These simple tricks will buy you time to…

Add me . Could use the companionship the to lose 50.

Does a goal of 50 count?

There are body builders that suggest that increasing protein intake 40% ,lowering fat to 20% and carbs to 40% will allow muscle gain with a calorie deficit.

Ok then. muscles are comprised of 22% proteins and the rest is H2O. Think of it as a balloon. When exhausting your muscles Then you re-hydrate the muscles will swell. There is a relation directly or indirectly.
