  • You and I are the same height! And i consider myself fairly petite but I weigh more than you lol. But I am fairly "dense" and I'm not willing to give up a lot of my muscle. It'll be interesting to have someone in the mix whose goals are more similar to mine, though :)
  • Yummy! I've made homemade once but the ice cream maker was ancient so it was a pain.
  • You could sprinkle with soy sauce or mist lightly with oil. I like to season it with wasabi and ginger or nutritional yeast. If you google "roasted seaweed sheets" it should return a decent number of results. My favorite is wasabi ginger but I bet garlic would be really good. Or just ginger.
  • The store-bought ones are much better than I can make, probably because I try to avoid oil when baking them, but making them yourself allows for so many more flavor variations :)
  • Great motivation :) I like the idea of Friday check-ins. Hope everyone's off to a good start!
  • Hello :) I'm Jen. 24yo. I'm going to be in Puerto Rico for the first time ever for Thanksgiving, so I'm pretty exciting. I just want to get back to my lowest weight--which is about 10lbs away. Thanks for making this group--great idea; I love accountability.
  • Interested. Goal is to lose 5-10 lbs, depending on how I look/feel as I lose the last few.
  • Anyway, I do apologize, I just felt like I was repeating the same things and I'm defensive of my habits in food logging because I am meticulous about it. Thanks again for everyone's input.
  • I apologize for snapping--I had mentioned in one of my previous posts why I entered things the way I did so I legitimately thought you were questioning the validity of what I was doing. Which I guess you were, but with good reason. Thanks for the explanation.
  • Example above. Note that the serving is listed as grams and cups. I entered it into my diary as cups, but measured by weight. I'm an accountant. I work with numbers. I converted units. If you don't believe me, I don't care--I'm not here to argue whether I weighed my food or not. I seem to have the issue under control now,…
  • Like I said, I weighed it. I went by weight. They are in the database as cups and spoons
  • And the exercise tracker is not accurate. I suppose I could be more diligent in recording exercise, but I've always opted not to include exercise at all so I'm not tempted to eat back those calories
  • Some of these are listed in cups, but the nutrition label included grams per cup, etc, so I recorded them as a fraction of the serving in cups to get to grams. But I weighed it all
  • Some samples. I just post everything in dinner for simplicity. I make 90% of the things I eat. The waffle was my recipe and I divided the servings by weight. Everything else I measure by grams
  • I weigh and measure my food meticulously. So I know for sure(as well as I can) that I had been eating 1200 calories a day. I put close to nothing in my mouth that I haven't pre-logged a day in advance. If I do, then I promptly account for it after the fact. I tend to round up my consumption, when in doubt. Better safe than…
  • Well, just as an update, I bumped calories up by 200, and it's too early to say, but so far, so good. No weight gain, more "regular." I actually did read up on fiber and too much can, in fact, be a bad thing, so I've been trying to be mindful of that, but I eat a plant-based diet so that is a huge challenge.
