@TavistockToad That's right. But if I'm consistently having cheat days on the weekend it could be backtracking my weight loss goals. The point I'm trying to make is that if you're trying to lose weight, eating consistently during the week and then having a surplus of calories over the weekend on your cheat days may not…

@rianneonamission thanks for the advice! I've been using weights 2-3 times a week, but definitely nothing intense.

@bribucks sorry I should have clarified! I want to incorporate more cardio now as I'm still losing. Once I reach my goal weight I'd like to start recomp :smile: and that's amazing! Once I'm at my goal weight you will need to share some tips :wink:

I would remove the cheat day until you get to your goal weight and you can maintain then... Personally I noticed for myself that cheat days don't work when I'm losing. When you're maintaining it's okay because as you mentioned you can easily make up for it during the rest of the week. I would just fit everything into your…

I've been eating 1200 for the past two months but very close to my goal weight. When I'm only two pounds away, I'm going to change the setting from lose 1 pound a week, to lose 0.5 per week, in hopes to begin preparing for maintenance. That will be around 1350 calories per day. Stats 5'4" CW 121.8 lbs GW 115-118 lbs…

I have been at my goal weight several times in the past 2 years, but I just literally suck at maintenance (especially ever since I moved out last summer). Now I'm trying to be consistent every day with MFP and weigh everything... I'm the kind of person that loves to binge eat and I constantly fluctuate between 10-15 lbs.…

I use a silicone baking mat when roasting vegetables/cooking meat in the oven to avoid the extra calories. I ordered it from amazon and I love it! I find that the juice from the meat mixes with the vegetables. I tend to eat high fat foods already (olive oil in salads, olives, etc) so this is my way of cutting down. But to…

I have a smoothie every morning, mostly because I'm not much of a fruit-eater and I struggle with eating breakfast. I usually do a 1/2 cup of almond milk, a handful of spinach, 1 cup of strawberries/raspberries/blueberries, and half a banana. That comes out to no more than 200 calories I believe... I've been drinking these…

9 days is quite early to tell. I was consistently working out for 2 months and eating foods with high nutritional value (and was not overeating) but didn't see results until the 3rd month. Everyone's body is different of course so it all depends. On the other hand, I had tried to cut out starches and certain carbs (pastas,…
