This, I've realized that part of the reason I've overwater in the past is due to boredom. So find a hobby or two and stick with it :) I use things like archery or writing or drawing and those keep my hands busy for a while and if I get in a mood where I'm just like "I want to snack on something and don't feel like doing…

Allrecipe's apple curry is really good with an added block of golden curry sauce :) other than that I'm clueless about most curries

Could be milk or coffee, a professor of mine once mentioned that milk and coffee tend to stick to the cilia on your tongue which is why people to who drink a lot of coffee tend to have a sour breath.

http://pinchofyum.com/crockpot-chicken-gnocchi-soup This one's one of my favorites but the veggies are just carrots, celery, and spinach

Coconut macaroons made with shredded coconut and coconut oil (and possibly dipped in chocolate) I think they're usually about 60 calories per macaroon but this is one I've used other entries on, I didn't have time to make it myself. The recipe I've used before has honey in it too, but for baking them I think just the…

Great job just don't forget leg day ;) Friend don't let friends skip leg day and end up with chicken legs :P

Calorie deficit, the only way to lose inches is to lose mass, either through losing fat or replacing it with muscle and since recomp is painfully slow: lose fat. But I don't know if a 2lb max difference would cause a 1cm loss.

I'm not sure who can help you on this site since it seems rTMS is for depression, but from a clinic trial I found It looks like it might show results before 4 weeks, but this would like depend on the severity of your depression and just how your brain works in general. Try googling the results of the clinical trials.

I tried doing Atkins 3 times several years ago and failed every time because I was extremely hungry and always craving carbs and did not like the low carb recipes people posted :( (although it was mostly because I was depriving myself of sugar at the same time and I love chocolate) if you've hit a plateau try making sure…

I either drink water or try to get out of my apartment and go to my university or my studio to paint, but sometimes I cave and I just log it and move on and just have a slightly higher deficit for the rest of the week.

Fiber one oats and chocolate is my personal fav, everything else tastes like cardboard to me. Oh and nature valley bars but some people don't like them cuz they're high in sugar

For me I've been overweight/nearly obese for as long as I can remember (my mother says I started being overweight when I was 5, I'll take her word for it since I can't remember) and it's sort of something that's been with me for my whole life it feels. As a child I was always told by my gp that I needed to lose weight, I…

Variations of starbucks cafe mocha~ <3 (hot, iced, frappé, java, etc)

For me the biggest things are making my own meals and prepping my dinners for two weeks at a time (my breakfasts are usually the same so no planning there really), that way I know exactly what goes in there and can use the recipe builder on MFP to measure calories. Also putting my foods into MFP for a few days before hand…

Please don't spread misinformation like this. Fat IS NOT dead, adipocytes are living cells in our body with nuclei that create and expend energy, just like any other cell. And no, not all cells are dying and being regenerated every few hours, that may be the RATE of loss and renewal for some organs but I know of at least…

Honestly I just use a cheap $15 electric scale I got from walmart and measuring spoons I got from world market (just cuz they're pretty), but I'm just looking to make sure I'm vicinity of mass/weight. I'm not sure what the accuracy is on the scale though, so if you want a really accurate scale it might be more expensive…

Like TeaBea said, are you logging and weighing everything? Also, women can't build muscle that quickly, you'll build 1lb, maybe 2lbs if you have extremely good genes or are on steroids, per month, so it's likely not that. Check your sodium and water intake too, maybe you're just retaining water due to that.

Fruits an veggies, lots and lots of fruit and veggies. I can have a giant (to me) salad that tastes good and helps fill me up for only 130-180 calories, so maybe start there and see what works for you? "Denser" veggies might work too, like asparagus or potatoes that might keep you fuller longer than something lighter.

I'm 5'4" at *171lbs with a goal of 130lbs being set as my ideal due to a higher than average muscle mass, but I'm thinking of aiming for 120, what do you guys think? Has anyone started with a higher than average muscle mass for their weight and realized the ideal BMI weight was too little? *oops I made myself higher than I…

I definitely do that if I know I'll be drinking on the weekend, but since I don't count exercise calories I just go 100 under my calorie goal everyday to use for that day of splurge. 1200 seems really low to me unless you're like super tiny, I'm 5'4" (so I guess average height?) and my nutritionist won't let me go under…

I'm just now starting to get out of a plateau I've been in for the past couple of months by increasing my water intake and being extra careful about my calories (ie if I drink on the weekend and go over I'll go under 100 calories for the rest of the week until the average evens out). My thought on the water was that, since…

Try finding workouts you like? Like, at first I hated working out because things like running and most cardio (I.e. Going on a treadmill or elliptical for 30-60 min) bore the ever living day lights outta me but I find that when I have a goal I can work for (touching my toes or getting into a pose I couldn't before in yoga,…

I've now realized I no longer have a double chin when I smile so now I feel like I can smile as much and as big as I want :)

I deal with it by not doing low carb diets as when you reduce your carb intake by too much you end up with not only cravings but also deprive your brain of it's fuel source: glucose. Therefore (because I love my brain and will be going to med. school in the fall) I adhere to calories in/calories out and generally eat what…

Like others gave said drinking lots of water and low calorie/high volume foods helps keep you full. Just stay at your calorie goal and stay way from most fast food and you should be good :)

I find that making sure I drink enough water (since I'm chronically dehydrated) really helps with not over eating since I tend to feel fuller by drinking enough water. I also eat a little bit of sweets everyday, though it seems the smaller calorie ones are better (I.e. I would eat like 5 dove chocolates for like 120…

I'm definitely in! Gotta get that elvish physique ;)

I think a crockpot is good if you're like someone like me who's constantly going places all day long and is generally too tired to cook later in the day or only has half an hour for dinner. So since I am said person (student) who never has any time, it's great for me! I can spend 30-40 prepping and just put everything in…
