What exactly is plant based, like what are the requirements... Like there are vegetarians who still eat processed foods. Can you tell me more about your restrictions on this diet?

Not sure why vegans or vegetarians are the "good people" so maybe I'm not like minded enough for you, but I do eat meat only one meal a week and I know a lot of tasty veggie recipes. My food diary is open add me if you want to

My tip is to figure out your biggest weakness that always seems to be there to get you off track and avoid it. Figuring it out can be hard, but once you know what it is if you're truly motivated it will be easy to avoid. I discovered my weakness was meat. Meat is my gateway food. When I eat meat I can't convince myself to…

My advise is to find tour kryptonite and avoid it at all costs. If you're like most people here, willpower is not your strong suite. Find that one activity, food, behavior, habit, place, or person that always seems to get you off track and get it out of your life. Good luck and feel free to friend me I'm on here everyday

Wow I admire you for being motivated despite your hardships. Good luck on your journey

I'm not super active but I do have an open food diary and I log my exercise when I do it. You can definitely friend me.

What is TDEE? I have an open diary if you want to be friends I'm down for that. Just don't judge me on Friday's lol

Interesting thought

Detox teas might not work as advertised but drinking tea can be a valuable addition to your diet plan. I often drink tea when I have a craving. By the time I make the tea wait for a minute for it to cool enough and drink it, I've already forgotten about my craving. Obviously tea doesn't have to be the distraction but if…

If you truly want to recover stop measuring yourself

It can be hard to get enough calories when all you eat is healthy food, I agree! Try adding healthy but calorie dense snacks and don't eat so much in one sitting. That is a ton of food for one meal, you might want to space out your food more. Are you able to snack more thought the day like having 4 snacks instead of 2? I…

Keep up the hard work!

Yeah you need to approach him as an adult not as his child

Maybe not low calorie but the healthiest snacks are fruit, nuts(not peanuts), seeds, veggies, some granola bars or protein bars... I think pretzels are pretty low calorie but you'll want to measure them out before hand so not to overdo it

Yeah, I stopped talking to people outside the app about trying to lose weight. Now they can just be surprised when they see me

Bully!

Mind over matter just like any other habit

Yeah def important to focus on bmi more than number on the scale, you can lose all you want but if it's not fat you're losing you won't be happy! Finding this out myself right now!

I'm guessing if your stomach is so jiggly that you still have a high percentage of body fat. You may be at your goal weight but how much of that weight was muscle loss and how much of that was fat loss. You need to rebuild your muscle and encourage fat loss you will probably gain weight during this time but it's essential…

Way go go! The only one I've had lately is resisting Chinese food lol. I work right by a Chinese place and the last few days getting off early, around noon, the smells coming from that place are almost irresistible! But I have resisted so far!

I like subbing half the ground beef in a recipe with lentils. For example when I make sloppy Joe I only use 8oz meat and 1 cup dried lentils ( then boiled). This gives me calorie space for the bun ;)

Have a great time wear something that makes you feel confident!

What is "ruddier?" Lol Interesting article!

I say go for it, push as hard as you can and lose as much as you can by then. Just make sure you listen to your body and slow down if you strt to have negative effects

If you are doubting whether or not you are pushing hard enough then sounds like deep down you might think you could do more...

Ive had herniated discs that were operated on and reherniated, it's so important to keep the weight off when you have back problems! For me i can lay on my side keep my feet together and spread me knees like a clam. Like a leg lift but the crippled person's version lol After a few weeks in therapy i can now do small…

Good luck :(

3 herseys kisses with almonds is only 70 calories... Im not quitting chocolate... Ever! Sorry!

Yes fruit is going to help with sweets cravings and nuts will help with salty cravings

My motivation is money, using the money i would have spent on fast food and eating junk to go to new orleans in may!
