Hi all. With the newsfeed gone, I’m going over to Lose It! It has everything I needed from MFP, a good community and activity feed and it’s cheaper. Hope to see some of you there. I’m active under “Kat” and in the MFP Exodus group.

  • Second the overnight oats idea. You can make them in a batch that will get you enough servings for a workweek, put them in "to go" containers, and grab and go. I do 2 cups oats, 2 cups fruit (pick your favorite), 2 cups skim milk, 2 cups low fat/no fat plain greek yogurt, 4 TBS maple syrup, and 1/2 cup nuts (pick your…

  • prior to having two kiddos (when I was working out 5+ days a week), I was sitting around 140-145 and was happy with the way I felt and looked. That's my goal and we'll see how my post-baby body looks at that weight once I get there, and then adjust up or down as needed.

  • I jump on the elliptical and put on a show/music while exercising. I have yet to master eating on the elliptical...though there may come a day... Maybe cross stitching? Any hobby that’s not passive and keeps your hands occupied.

  • Yep. Calories are the main thing I care about. I do try to eat food that keeps me full longer and keeps cravings at bay, but everyone is different in that regard, so do what works for you and is sustainable. Good luck!

  • Just get back to logging. It’s what I do. I usually struggle on vacations/travel where I’m relying on eating out more than cooking at home. I also don’t travel with a food scale, so my entries are guesstimates, if I log at all. I usually gain during that time, and then jump back on the wagon when I get home. After a week…

  • Unfortunately, it’s mostly genetics that determines how you lose/gain. I’m very much a pear shaped person, so my waist is one of the last places I gain, and my thighs are the last to go when losing. What worked for me was lifting to recomp a bit. Add muscle to my upper body to look more proportional. The lowest I’ve ever…

  • That's pretty close to my weight loss. I started mid-march at 192 and am down to 181 right now. I guess for me, I'm trying to change my mind-set to be okay with this rate of loss instead of losing faster. I've lost weight faster before and gained it all back since I got tired of being on a diet and feeling hungry often. I…

  • I'd recommend patience? If you're in a healthy weight range right now, then the last few vanity pounds are likely to come off pretty slowly. You may want to also double check your logging for accuracy (weighing all your food, etc)
    in Weight Loss Plateau!! Comment by Lenala13 June 2019
  • I'm not sure about the UK (if that's where you're at), but in the U.S., the calories on the packaging can be off by as much as 25%, so you can be up to 25% over or under based on the actual weight of the product. For example, one slice of bread may be 40g, the other may be 38g in the same package, etc. I personally don't…
