i want to lose 23 pounds in the next year

black coffee w/ cinnamon is my stuff. some soy milk if i'm out at a coffee shop and feeling wild. or a cappuccino.

usually not a fan of artificial sweeteners of any kind but lately in the afternoon when i can't stomach more coffee i'll have a green or black tea with half a packet of truvia

first of all, i know it seems very difficult to fit meal planning into your already busy day when you feel like there is never enough time and you're already exhausted. but just know that it gets much easier with a little practice! maybe when you have a few hours off this week, plan to make a larger batch of 1 recipe and…

i hear it makes your breath reek! con for sure. and i can't imagine all that meat is good for your heart. on the other hand i hear it's very satisfying.

Thanks everyone so much! I do think I'm a volume eater, I am going to try to up my fruits and veg from 5 a day to more like 10 as a goal. I am also going to change my eating times. I find I'm less hungry in the morning and the hanger comes in the late afternoon especially between lunch and dinner. So today I had a couple…

I think I'm going to try one of these if I am still feeling this hungry after upping fiber and water! Thank you

Changing to sedentary makes little sense to me- I'm hungry with my current calorie intake and that would restrict my calories further. And i work out and walk 10,000+ steps a day. I am 133 lbs.

Thanks everyone. My maintenance calories are 1,880 / day according to MFP. If I change my goal to losing 1 lb / week it's at 1,380 (the hangry zone) even if I eat back the 100 calories from exercise. I've been dieting on and off for a few years but this year lost 15 lbs from cutting back booze and some calories. Have been…

Mine is set to 1 lb / week which sets my base calories at 1380 before exercise.

I have an iphone, and use the Myfitnesspal Steps feature to sync from my phone directly to the MFP app

Lightly active

i love greatist.com's stuff

i have to not eat foods like that when i'm ravenous. if i'm super hungry it's going to taste 30000x better, and will be easier to overeat.

Dang, that's only a 40 pound difference? You look totally different! Good work

when do you drink - with others or alone? i just quit for 3 months because of some meds and it was much, much easier to lose / work out without it. now i'm trying to ease back in. beer is a calorie bomb, it's all gin + seltzers in my future...

good question. i am a little confused. i work a desk job, work out 3-4 times a week (run ~18 min @ 6mph, light lifting + yoga), and walk about 10,000 steps a day. most of the day i am sitting if not for this exercise. i synced my iphone to MFP to log my steps as exercise and eat the calories back, as 1200 seems very low…

lol

i get down with the LL cookies. they're damn good though the sugar / calorie content is kind of high. but sometimes when you have a hankering it's worth it and this way you can choose a slightly healthier option without sacrificing taste. def not an every day thing.

Would a GP be able to diagnose hypothyroidism based on a basic blood test from a checkup? I am discussing my bloodwork with my GP next month but didn't ask them to take a special look at my thyroid. My mom has hypothyroidism and I've always suspected I do too because we share symptoms.
