Movie theater popcorn and doughnuts.

What worked for me today was that my boys wanted me to get them an apple pie and vanilla ice cream at the store today. I love that dessert, but didn't want to spend all those Calories on it today. So, while I was in the grocery store I had the thought to buy myself some Caramel Apple Pie flavored light Greek yogurt. While…

Romans...definitely the best place for a new Christian to start...it kind of gives you the basics. Congratulations on the best decision you've ever made! 🤍

Since I don't know what LEOW's are, I guess I'm not one. 🤷‍♀️

For me, I was physically addicted to sugar (as most of us were when we started out). As I began changing my diet over to more protein and healthier carbs - but still with some sugary snacks- a miraculous thing happened. I didn't crave sugar anymore! I couldn't believe it! Since the nature of sugar is the more you have, the…

I weigh exactly 212 now and my body type and height is exactly your before pic! Thanks for the glimpse into my potential future. You look great!

Good for you! It's so important to practice good self care when taking care of someone else.

213lbs now....so excited to see OnDeRLaNd on the horizon!! I haven't been to that place since 1999! And you better believe that when I get there I'm going to party like it's 1999, too!

Hugs but no one's external support of you or lack of support of you matters. All that matters is your determination. Sounds to me like you are beginning to build a case for your planned future derailment...don't do it! There is ToNs of support right here on these forums, from people who are currently as obsessed with…

Being sure to get all my protein grams!

I always exercise during my fasting window. It works fine for me as long as I'm hydrated.

There are no hard and fast rules about a little artificially sweetened flavor. You may want to start out without any and then add them in later and just see what it does for you. Does it make your cravings increase? Does it make you happy? Then you can decide what to do. Make it suit YOU. I usually only drink water during…

Definitely don't try to eat at an excessive deficit tomorrow to "make up for it" or somehow "make yourself pay for it". It's no biggie, just get back on that horse tomorrow. And, sometimes when you really and truly want some amazing food, eating it is exactly what you should do! This is a marathon not a sprint. Sure it may…

Even though it's the first day of school and I work in the high school office, I will not overeat due to stress! 🤪

Grape nut ice cream is DELICIOUS! Just mix some in your favorite softened vanilla ice cream and let it sit in the freezer several days until the grape nuts soften a little. Was my dad's favorite ice cream. 💙

I'll tell you what a cheat week does for me....it turns into a cheat month. 🤦‍♀️

If you eat a lot of Brazil nuts you can get too much selenium. Just in case you weren't aware. 🤓

Canned rutabagas are very soft and mash in nicely with potatoes and tastes great!

I have a different kind of Covid weight gain. I got the virus July 3 and got totally over it in about 12-14 days. During the virus I lost about 5 lbs. After i recovered i am really struggling to get back on track with dieting, exercising, logging, or anything! Great. So far I've gained the 5 covid pounds I lost plus…

60 grams

No, covid19, but it wasn't particularly stressful to me and there was nothing else. Started IF and dieting Feb.12.

Based on my rate of weight loss I don't believe I am under eating. I work hard to make sure I meet the protein goal set by MFP and I eat plenty of fat too. I only do 20 minutes on the bike if I do exercise and otherwise I'm pretty sedentary. I do take a multivitamin and lately a hair and nails vitamin. I've never been…

I eat fat. 😁

With sugar the more you have, the more you want. This is a lifestyle though, not a short term diet. You may want to cut out all sweets to begin with. Then gradually add in a little bit of 1. The foods you truly miss AND 2. foods that don't trigger a binge. Your taste buds will change and binging will get better too.

Jared ate at Subway every day and lost over 200 lbs! 😁 Yay Jared! But now Jared's in jail 🙁 Boo Jared.

One of my favorites too and nobody has put anything on it in a while ☹

My first ever cruise was scheduled for this past June....stupid Corona.
