  • Get low sugar protein junk food. Most common examples are Quest protein bars, Halo Top ice cream, and their copy cats. I used to consider myself a sugar addict. Turns out I just needed to swap 90% of my real junk food for the low sugar high protein versions. And I still feel hungry no matter what if I get under 30g protein…
  • I pay attention to body fat percentage rather than BMI. Many more people are overweight and obese in BF% even when at a normal weight. But for whatever reason doctors don't check for it, even though many "wellness screening" companies do. And I'm aware that its hard to get a perfect reading with body fat analyzers and…
  • I lost somewhere around 0.5-1 cup size (depending on brand) on the last 10lbs of my 40lb loss. I was surprised that they took that long to shrink some. In my case I wish they didn't. Definitely wait until the end of your weight loss before trying to get surgery.
  • Sync is delayed by 1-2 hours, I think.
  • Calorie count to lose weight. Save the money instead for potential loose skin removal.
  • Victoria's Secret Bombshell bra. It will add 2 cups to your bra size. But they will put your wallet on a diet at $50-60 a piece.
  • Https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2931708-fitbit-scheduled-maintenance-on-3-30-18 MFP is undergoing Fitbit maintenance again and they are aware of the issue.
  • And its down again.
  • Mine still isn't working at all still. I guess calorie limits don't count for us Fitbit users until syncing is back up. :D
  • Starbucks: Coconutmilk mocha macchiato, no caramel, double mocha syrup is a good drink that I am 95% sure is vegan. Meat: Boca chicken burgers at most grocery stores (USA) and Meatless Meatballs from Trader Joe's. Learn to make seitan at home for cheaper meat. Ice Cream: Simple Truth Almondmilk ice creams, Vegan Halo Top,…
  • I remember seeing ads for these services and how they could be "as cheap as $9.99 per meal." So 3 meals a day times 30 days is $899.10 per monthl for one person. I tally all of my receipts and divide them by categories into an excel sheet and I average $150/mo across all consumed food. I assume the kits are targeted to the…
  • Raw Rev GloCreamy Peanut Butter and both the plant based Think Thin bars (chocolate mint & chocolate sea salt almond) are really good. Lenny & Larry's has protein cookies that are good but are a bit lower in protein compared to a standard protein bar.
  • I make refried beans from dry in the Instant Pot. Its nice not having to worry wondering if I soaked beans the night before.
  • Nutrition labels will start tracking added sugar soon. Some labels already reflect the change. So you won't need an app for that, specifically.
  • I'm at an athletic body fat % and I still have stretch marks. Hasn't stopped me from bikini wear. I've never been told anything to my face negative about it. Just do what you want. Stretch marks may fade a bit with weight loss, but they never go away.
  • 2700 on a twelve hour work day, all fatty free food from work. I burned it all, then ended up sick the next morning with the super poops.
  • I'm considering people who know how to pose like them and still don't look like them. Like how you have to flex your abs for pictures to figure out what you really look like compared to athletes.
  • It doesn't mean its the look that the person wants, though. When I've asked women I know what body they want, they point to the 15-17% body fat example on the below page: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.builtlean.com/2012/09/24/body-fat-percentage-men-women/amp/ So at least the women around me want to be there. They want…
  • I'm curious as to what his weight is. I've seen a trend of guys getting mad their girl isn't super fit and yet they have a huge gut that they somehow don't hate themselves for. I don't know what tone he used toward you, but there is a big difference between a fit and a fat partner telling their SO to lose weight. And its…
  • Not working for me yet. Am I the only one?
  • This post made me double check, and mine won't sync either.
  • Microwave Eggs Get microwave egg poacher for $4. Put in 2 eggs. Throw seasoning on. Microwave 1min 30s. 140 cal and delicious. I season with McCormick's Bacon Chipotle but you can use any salty seasoning. White Rice Cheapest starch. Make in a rice cooker. Turn on and forget. It pops when done. Chicken Breast and Boneless…
  • I mainly go to Kroger. I downloaded their app and went under shopping list to make a full grocery list of everything I buy often, and stuff I buy if on sale. The prices and weekly ad change on Wednesday. I look at it the night before and make a small list. On Wed., I check my digital app shopping list. Prices higlighted in…
  • Optimum Nutrition mocha cappuccino mixed with so delicious chocolate and vanilla milk (5oz each), cinnamon, ice, and some instant nescafe coffee makes a good light mocha frappucino. Its about 220cal and can fit in a venti (24oz) cup. I know this because I actually washed out a Starbucks frap cup from the day and poured it…
  • To the OP: I went from a 32DD to a 32D. I lost 40lbs and didn't lose a cup size until the last 10lbs. I still use some of my old size bras. They fit well enough still, making me think I didn't drop a full cup. I had a push up bra that made me a 32G in a costume I have, and its been my dream size ever since. I'll trade you…
  • A box of their cakes was delivered to my place of work so I may be able to help. I weighed a bundtini and it was around 63g. I just used one of the Nothing Bundt Cakes entries that was in grams and put in that weight.
  • I go to outlets and cheap department stores to get black skinny jeans $20 or less and I get cheap $7 shirts online at RainbowShops. For a while, I used cheap stretch yoga pants with pockets that passed well enough for dress pants. I had to stick to 2-3 shirts and pants at a time to keep things cheap. It still feels…
  • To stay within calorie goal, I avoid foods I know I go overboard with. Instead, I've replaced those foods with protein bars of similar flavors that dont have much sugar in them. You may just need to seek out replacement junk little by little. The easiest one to find I recomment are Quest bars. Pure protein would be better…
  • Light versions of holiday frappucinos, tall size, are around 150 calories.
