I also IF I usually eat between 10am-3/4pmish. It allows me to have larger calorie meals as I'm not hungry in the morning. It also seems to help curb my night snacking and I don't know why - either its a mental thing and I don't eat after 4pm (because thats a mental cutoff) or it's the larger calorie dinner that keeps me…

I just bought the Weight Guru at Target. It syncs with Fitbit which syncs with MFP. I bought the bluetooth one so you have to have the app open near the scale for it to sync. I do like that it seems to weigh consistantly and I can move it around without it needing to recalabrate like my Fitbit Aria did. I believe I paid…

Just get back on. Brush it off and continue on your plan. Don't let one day derail you. If it helps I bank calories for a higher calorie day once a week. Reverse is also true if you don't go over by very much you can deduct 50-100 calories over the next few days to stay in an overall weekly deficit. Most import point is…

@Anvil_Head thank you!!! Both of these tips will save me some calories!!

On app swipe left to delete.

Thanks for the tip! I’ve tried powdered and couldn’t get the clumps out so I’ll try this!

I'm indulging in the Starbucks double shot coffee & protien at the moment. It's 200 calories for the vanilla but it contaings 20g of protien so I look at it as coffee & protien shake:)

Can I just say how refreshing it is to see a poster read a recommended thread, look at their diary and see where they erred. Your attitude will take you far! best of luck!

Mixing sweet w/savory=yuck! Fruit on pizza - no way! Fruit on salad - no freaking way. Brown sugar in oatmeal - gross only butter & salt! Sweet & Sour sauce - ok:) I'll make an exception.

I will 2nd this thread as sidesteel is my trainer and I'm seeing good results and he knows his stuff:)

[/quote] Expanding on my disagreement/unpopular opinion. I just find it odd that the "regulars" pooh-pooh the guidelines of these organizations regarding added sugar, but virtually high five posts from a guy that posts pictures of the obscene quantities of high calorie nutrient poor food he is supposedly consuming and…

Bologna. I ate a bologna sandwich I think almost everyday growing up with mustard and white bread. Tried one 15ish years ago and yuck!

Breakfast burrito - cheese, eggs, potato 550 cal Thai - eggplant Basil w/Tofu

I zigzag or bank calories once a week for this very reason. Yesterday had a breakfast with one friend out then an early dinner with another set of friends so I went out to eat twice yesterday:(

I log but I don't stress about anything and I usually try to stay within my maintainance calories. It seems to help me see why I went up or down on the scale i.e. too much alcohol - I'm dehydrated or sodium filled dinners - I'm probably retaining water. It also seems to help recalabrate my eyeballing calories/portions. BUT…

It's taking on a new meaning for me lately... I'm learning that I have to take care of myself. I've been a mother since 18 years old and now a grandmother and I always think in terms of taking care of everyone else first. I'm learning that being kind to myself means taking care of my body/mind. The way I think of myself,…

I eat 10ish & 3/4:00pm ish about 500/600 calories each give or take. Sometimes I have room for snack sometimes not. I know this isn't typical of everyone but this is just the times I normally like to eat even when not eating in a deficit. I also find I'm a volume eater and I like a little more carbs to keep me satiated. I…

Not vegan but have vegan family so I often have vegan meals. One of my favorites is 3 Bean Chili in a slow cooker add all ingredients low for 6 or high for 3hr. 1 3/4 cup vegetable broth 1 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup chopped seeded jalapeño 2 teaspoons chili powder 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons vegan worcestershire…

Nice. You look great!!! I just started a strengh program and I'm excited to wrek my body like you have:).

Exersise can increase make you hungrier. I work out in the am before I eat. I have a glass of water before my workout and then I eat around 10am and then 3-4pm. Eating 2 times a day is a natural way I like to eat. It may not work for you, but it allows me to have a bigger brunch and dinner with calories left over for a…

Everyone is different. Whats working for me so far... Continue to eat the foods you normally eat and log everything that contains a calories. After a period of time begin playing with your macros (protien, carb, fat) and find out if increasing one helps you stay satiated longer. Slowly incorporate more nutricious recepies…

I log everything that has a calorie but I don't weigh everything, I estimate almost everything. I'm working with a trainer who's ok with that as long as I'm losing as planned. I do pull out the scale for things I tend to overeat on like cashews and from time to time just to recalabrate my eyes. I'm losing as planned so…

I like it for above reasons plus I customize my calories (zigzag) daily so that I have lower and higher calorie days and pro allows you to do that.

You know how flight attendants say to put on your air mask before your children’s mask? It’s the same principle you have to be healthy to be there for your children long term. Also quality over quantity. Make the time you do spend with your children premium time, give them 100% of your attention. If your husband sees that…

This is exactly what I'm working on. Habit of logging and habit of working out so when I don't feel like it I just do it anyway.

I'm not religious at all. I log everything that has calories but I don't weigh everything. I'm working with a trainer and he said as long as I'm losing as planned he's ok with it. I pull out the food scale when I need to calibrate my eyes or when it's something I may overeat like cashews. Otherwise I'm pretty lax at least…

Can you purchase just an individual package? Like a small package of Hershey's kisses and limit to one or two a day? Heck if you eat them all it's only 220 cal but when they are gone they are gone until you go out again?

Starbucks Double shot w/20g protein is my newest obsession. Clocks in at 200 calories. Oh I add cinnamon too.

I had a Fitbit Aria and I liked it ok except you couldn’t move it or your weight would be off. It died and I bought a weight guru at Target. It seems to work ok for the price.
