You're amazing. As a former cutter myself, I applaud your honesty and your ability to talk about such a stigmatized subject. Major props!

I pretty much drink coffee, hot tea, and water. I only log the coffee; I do add a minimal amount (2 tsp) of nondairy creamer and sugar free flavored syrup. I don't add anything to my tea. When I splurge on a sugar free Rockstar, I do log that, because of the carbs.

I think he's referring to not wanting to eat eggs every single day, not that he doesn't like eggs at all... but just my take on it. I also agree with eating a nontraditional breakfast if you want. There's no "breakfast police" that's going to come get you if you eat a hamburger for breakfast. :)

The most general rule is to drink enough water that you pee light to clear.

Decrease sodium and increase water.

Height and weight? What's your current calorie goal? Are you using a food scale or liquid measure? Are you eating back all your exercise calories?

I eat 6 - 8 times per day. The time between each meal varies anywhere from two to four hours. It's just what I prefer though. No reason to adjust your meal schedule.

You're welcome ☺ Glad it's helpful

Fitstream :)

Weight's just part of what the app tracks. Ignore that particular measurement if you want :) Posting a screenshot was just the easiest way for me to respond to your question :)

Fitstream. Free on Google Play :)

In a month, I lost a half inch from my bust, an inch and a half each from my waist and hips, and three quarters of an inch per calf, but gained a half inch on my thigh and a quarter inch on both forearms... so that answer is all over the place. Lol

What is this? I want this! :)

@CreativeGuy504 Devil's advocate here... Women who run in sports bras, no shirt: what are your feelings regarding a "fit" looking 25 year old woman versus a 60 year old, 300 pound woman running in public without covering herself? (Please, please, PLEASE keep in mind, I'm just adding perspective. I am not judging anyone for…

Panache sports bras are my favorite. I have three and wear them every day. As in, I never wear a "regular" bra :)

Are the squats and calf raises (throughout the day) supposed to be AMRAP? Hmmm. That could easily turn into hundreds of each, which would probably induce DOMS and be a detriment to your training on sprint days. Good luck! Sounds like (that part at least) is going to be a killer! :)

Sugar free Torani syrups, stevia, or Walden Farms creamers/chocolate sauce/caramel syrup

Personal choice - but I'm not into socializing at the gym. The ONE person I really enjoy working out with is my dad, because he pushes me to work harder (and, tbh, is impressed by my strength "for a girl" lol). We don't chit chat except for before and after. The biggest problem is, he's more cardio focused, and I'm more…

Everyone's mentioning rice... Please, tell me your secret to reheating leftover rice. Mine's always hard and unpalatable. :(

Yoga, go for a walk, meal prep, take an online class.

Thanks @RodaRose and @lorrpb! Excellent post! Worth the read :) :) :)

Personally, I lose when I start my period, but I gain during the week of ovulation. Definitely read the link above. Good info there :)

(I'm almost afraid to ask...) What's sexypants?

Think of it this way: Gravity is different on the moon. If you were to somehow make it to the moon (and bring your scale with you lol) would you be happier if you were at your goal weight on the scale, but you looked exactly the same, or if your weight was the same, but you were three sizes smaller?

1. Yes, you can lose weight without managing macros. Macros have more to do with body composition than body weight. 2. .8g protein per pound is *about* right. There's some confusion re: pounds vs kg, body weight vs lean mass, etc. But 200g protein is doable, if you decide to go that route (assuming you're at the proper…

It's a little sweet for me, but not so bad that I can't drink it. I can't stand the flavored creamers though, so it may be the right amount of sweet for you. Generally, I stick with 1 tsp powdered creamer and either 1 tsp sugar free Torani syrup or 1 packet of stevia. I recently bought a bottle of Walden Farms caramel…

I feel like a terrible housekeeper! Lol

Thanks for the advice and all the ideas, guys!!

I like iced coffee, but mornings require hot coffee :P and I don't drink milk. I wonder if I could use water instead and just make my coffee extra strong to make up for it.
