Fast only works as long as you can do it. So if you're hungry at 1200, then you might want to up your calorie intake. Definitely confirm that your nutrition is there, and a combination of nutrients that will keep you satiated.

MY HOME --> settings You can choose the 5 nutrients you track.

Keep reminding yourself that weight loss is not linear. I know it's so hard not to get discouraged when the scale doesn't cooperate, just keep keeping on. Focus on what inspires you and motivates you during those times, because they will happen over an over again. Checked out your diary. Definitely work on reducing that…

I'm not LGBT but I am an ally. Add me as a friend if you'd like!

I am allergic to whey/casein so haven't eaten it in 15+ years. Still get acne.

You can do it!! Now is time to learn what a serving size is. (I'm relearning that again myself.) Logging everything is really important -- for losing weight and diabetes. I've lost weight before and gained it back and more. I love food. I realize now that I will be logging the rest of my life if I really want to maintain.…

Just like inspiration is to an artist, motivation is fleeting. Determination and practice are what gets us to succeed. Lots of good advice here. The trick is to find out what works for you. Try and try again to find out what does. Look at your lifestyle and appreciate what you are doing right. Then see where your pitfalls…

If I'm on the run, I'll grab a Fiber One Protein Bar (Oats & Chocolate) at 140 calories. While it does contain sugar, it has a nice balance of protein and fiber that keeps you full. Plus, it's a great way to enjoy a little chocolate. Sometimes I'll go to McDonalds and get an Egg McMuffin with no cheese, which is about 250…

Why are you on a plan that is so arbitrarily restrictive? If you want to maintain blood sugar, I recommend high fiber and protein. I also recommend eating at very regular intervals. I can suffer from hpyoglycemia and those are things that keep me on track even while dieting.

Please add me!

I have a friend who implemented hourly stretch and movement breaks.for her team. At first it was really jusr her but now everyone loves them. She writes the hour and the exercise or stretch on the white board.

That does look good.

I have a few friends without their thyroid and they swear by kettle bells to build up muscle mass, which burns more calories.

I love McDonald's but it is hard to fit it in. But you can do a pretty good meal on the calories you have left, especially if you exercise a little. Don't beat yourself up. Tomorrow is a new day.

I totally get it. (And I'm 5'2".) I was in a group and they decided to order pizza. I'm allergic to milk products, so none for me. But the gal picking up the pizza did something sweet: she picked up bbq chicken wings for.me. There is no.way to say no so I ate half of them and shared the rest. Got home later to discover the…

I see someone else suggested poaching in herbs and saving the poaching liquid. Fantastic advice!!!! If you can spare a few calories, adding a little Vermouth or white wine to the poaching liquid is delicious. I also recommend this 1+1+10+10 method: flatten all chicken breasts to the same thickness. On medium, cook on one…

It is amazing how many calories (or WW points) fast food contains. A few trips through the drive-thru probably stalled you.

Back again myself. Not failure...just life. Friend me if you'd like!

I find that high-fiber really helps. Enjoying my fats, which are satiating. Protein with a little carb. Avocado is a fantastic choice if you have the calories (and not allergic) because it contains so much fiber and has that satiating fat. Personally, if I start my day with "Nature's Path - Flax Plus Raisin Bran", there is…

I find this calculator very helpful to figure out calories for weight loss and for maintenance. http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html

Me, too!

You are almost there! You can do it! Maybe you need a week of maintenance rather than deficit. Maybe you're in a food rut. Take a look at new recipes and new vegetables that you could try. Also try a high-fiber breakfast like oatmeal or my favorite (Nature's Path Flax Plus Raisin Bran) to keep you feeling full for longer.

I'd like to reiterate what another poster said about confirming with your doctor that you are on the right amount of insulin. After that, you must get religious with your diary and notes section. Experiment with different foods and carb/protein/fat combinations and use the notes section to record how they made you feel.…

I second cooking with cast iron. I don't use anything else except pans for.boiling water.

Log your calories in. That's it. Don't make a judgement about them. Focus on maintaining your weight and not losing weight. Maintaining is a good thing to do. The emptiness you describe could be depression. Talk to your doctor and consider going to a therapist.
