De Novo has White Cake and Salted Caramel that are delicious. Free shipping too.

Thank you! Maybe I need to focus on that because I definitely love the benefits. My confidence level alone has improved drastically. I just don't understand why I procrastinate:(

I've had a few people message me and ask how I was doing after the diet break so I thought I would do a 1 month update: SW 235ish DBSW 202 Diet Break Ending weight 203 Current weight 198 February was a little slow on the weight loss for me but 5lbs in one month I'll take it:). I had 2 months that my weekly average calories…

Non dominant and I set it as my dominant hand. I still wake up having taken 8-11 steps so I must turn over aggressively :).

I only weigh things like cashews. Once a month maybe I pull out the scale to make sure I’m eyeballing close enough, but that’s it. I’ve never weighed prepackaged foods.

I calorie cycle, I don’t pay attention to my carbs. I only watch my protein intake. I cycle my calories so that I can have higher calorie days to fit with my social calendar. I don’t think there are any special benefits other that that.

Just relax, don't stress. One slip up has not ruined all the progress you've made if you get back on plan. Adjust if something stops working for you, try something else. Be patient. Get outside and walk or hike for mental clarity/health. Read through the threads both old and new, there is a wealth of knowlege and…

Maybe sorta both.. Changing a WOE can help with hunger/satiation/accuracy issues that then alow them to log more accurately. It seems that upping carbs from a steep deficit can help one have a whoosh or going low carb from a high carb diet can cause a loss of water weight initially and then can have an affect on ones…

I didn't think hormones responded this quickly that's why a diet break of at least 2 weeks is recommended?

My brain seems to never work fine:)

Yesterday was day 14 DBSW 202 CW 203 Partial diet break over. I'm back on cycling my calories with an average of 1260 calories starting today. Things I learned... 1. Continue to eat the same way while in a defict when maintaining. I ate breakfast a little more because of vacation and boy did it make me hungrier the rest of…

Day 10 DBSW 202 CW 201.6 Nothing new to report except my "diet break" will end on Tuesday. I have felt a return of hunger (should I say more hunger) eating on some days 1800-2000 so maybe this is a sign that my hormones have returned to normal? Or is it just confirmation that for me when I eat more I want to eat more? So…

Day 9 Calories 1516 DBSW 202 CW 201.8 So two days back from my mini vacation (4 days) of eating 1800-2000 calories back down to 1500 and I'm back where I started on the scale 9 days ago. I know it's too soon to tell but at the very least I feel like this is what maintainance will be like. Lesson learned that eating for 4…

That’s so funny and very sad at the same time.

Are you eating dairy and eggs? If so eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, whey protein powder and or... If not tofu, pea protein powder, beans, satein, tempeh, lentils and google a list of vegetables that contain protein like potato, avocado etc.

I just got back from a trip and normally my husband has to put my suitcase in the overhead bin...well I've been strength training since Nov 1 and I took my suitcase and showed that *kitten* whose boss, I threw her in that bin easily.

I'm calling a code read on the code red diet!

So will you still eat pizza and stay within 1590 calories? Then no it doesn't undo anything and in fact may help you stick to your calorie goal by making it a sustainable diet. It's not what you eat but how much you eat. If it puts you over your 1590 daily average and depending on how much over it could slow your weight…

If the amount you eat puts you over your weekly defict then yes it can undo the defict you created during the week. One way to stay in a defict and still enjoy pizza is to plan for it by "banking" some calories during the week so you have extra calories for your pizza night.

I'm thinking bone broth is the new miracle in the "diet" world. Just stock renamed.

A pop up like the 5wk update would work for going over calories (make the number over yellow). For example if you went over yet still in a deficit a pop up when completing the diary could just say "great job your still in a defict however you weight loss may be slowed" or " great job you at at maintainance today" or "…

I just wanted to clarify that hemp oil and CBD oil are 2 different things. Not saying that Hemp oil doesn't work just trying to add clarity for those who maybe confused.

I pay for premium because I like having a different calorie goal for each day. But I'm really getting disenchanted with all the bugs, it seems they should test upgrades and changes on a test database and if they are doing that it seems they aren't doing it with enough "users" to find these issues before go live. Having…

One thing I did notice is that my appitite seems increased. Is it my hormones returning to normal (usually takes 2 weeks I believe from Lyle Mcdonalds blog, see OP for link). Is it because I was eating breakfast on my mini vacation which usually makes me ravenous the rest of the day? Was it increased alcohol intake? My…

Day 5-8 Long weekend mini vacation over. I had a great strength training day Friday then we flew to our destination and walked the 5k that night. My GPS was sketchy so I don't know my official time but it was right around an hour so not bad. I felt strong and my pace was pretty good even the bad foot didn't protest too…

Eyeball what I think is a cup, 1/2 etc. over the last few months I pull out the scales to recalibrate my eyeballing. For example my pinch of shredded cheese is a little under 28g but I check it maybe once a month. Eating out unless it’s something i eat often I only eat half and I round up 100 calories from higest mfp…

Day 4 DBSW 202 CW 202.2 I had an unremarkable day. Nothing really exciting my walk/hike was short and it is a strength training rest day. I did adjust my calores today to compensate for going over yesterday so that my weekly would average approx 1500 a day. I'm traveling tomorrow so more salty restraunt foods I"m sure. My…

I think he’s watching the scale to see what it does to give him a better idea. I don’t weigh foods, I eat out a lot and cycle my calories. He left me alone in that I was successfully losing before he came on board and didn’t want to change too much. He mentioned 2 weeks to even a month and increasing my calories depending…

Day 3 1666 Calories, 79g p, 115g c, 43g f DBSW 202 CW 201.2 I woke up with a little more energy than usual. I had a strong strength training session, then it was off to run errands all day. I'm not worried about going over my 1500 calories I'll just adjust tomorrow. I'm flexible in my daily calorie count but stick to a…

Day 2 - 1493 Calories Protein 119g, Carbs 138g, Fat 52g DBSW 202 (SW from here on out will be from Day 1 of my diet Break) CW 201.6 Interesting to see the scale go down. I thought it would go up just from volume but my weekly deficit ended up being 1300ish so that makes since. What it does over the next few days will…
