Man Brenn I’m actually jealous. I’ve been down a week with some croopy cough and I didn’t wanna eat anything. I’m now on the upswing and was able to eat today. Seems appetite came roaring back lol.

YAY you!!!

I don’t restrict any food so I don’t really need a cheat meal. I do however cycle or bank my calories so I have a higher calorie day.

Try thenorthface.com Our go to for outdoor gear.

That last pic of your first post is stunning!

I "calibrate" my new scale by putting a 10lb dumbbell on it to see if its accurate. Leave it in the same place not on carpet and if you get a bad reading wait an hour try again without moving the scale. Some scales don't like being moved around I found.

This is a reason you could be tired as well. You are taking on by your words an "intense" workout schedule when you were just 3 weeks ago sedentary after work, you body maybe isn't used to it yet. Maybe you are doing too much too soon. Best of luck!

Retaining water from new workout, eating a salty meal or food/waste in the system can make you appear to gain weight. Especially if you are only weighing once a week you may not notice these daily ups and downs. Even though I know these things it sometimes messes with my head too. I have to just tell myself to trust the…

If you go on reddit (you don’t need an account to view) check out r/mealprepSunday quite a few folks do these types of breakfasts along with other types. I personally can’t get it together enough to meal prep so I haven’t tried yet.

“In 1519, Captain Hernán Cortés landed in Veracruz to begin his great conquest. Upon arriving, he gave the order to his men to burn the ships.” I donate my clothes (burn the ships) so I “can’t go back”. And if I do go back I deserve to spend the money getting new chubby clothes again:).

I believe MapMyFitness app counts steps, distance, route and time and it syncs with mfp.

I personally gained all my weight back when I stopped taking them because I relied on them to keep my appetite down and I didn’t really learn anything about calorie management, food choices for satiation etc. If you don’t get those figured out you may gain all your weight back.

I plan a fast food dinner. I cycle my calories or bank them so that I have a bigger calorie allowance on Wed. That’s my errand day and I’m wiped when I get home so I order a personal pan pizza (600c for cheese) I get a individual wine (small box type yes I’m a cheap wine drinker) and I make a small side salad. It’s a big…

I hear a lot of people that lose 100 lbs still don’t see it in the mirror. So I second the idea to take pictures and measurements.

My fitness coach allows me to eyeball as long as I’m consistently losing according to our plan. He used to post here a lot. I pull out my scale for some things once in awhile just to check or calibrate myself. I’m pretty good I tend to overestimate shredded cheese say it’s and ounce when it’s less and I underestimate salad…

@lorrpb that bridge is cool! @GiddyupTim mountain lions wow. Big Island we have wild pigs 😬 @mjbnj0001 wow NJ is beautiful, I had no idea! This is in the National Park which is in Volcano, HI. Steep elevation coming up from Hilo for biking. Hilo to Volcano be prepared for rain, Kona and Captain Cook much drier. Pm me and…

@jenilla1 stunning, thank you! Ah this mental vacation is just what I needed, we’ve been to FL,CA and HI so far!!

Everyone has given you great advice. I also eat out a lot and I started asking for a to go box right away and put half my meal away and save for lunch the next day. Saves a little money. I’ve also started making better choices and sometimes I’ll order a side salad and share meals with my husband.

@mg07030 yes on the Big Island.

@FL_Hiker that’s beautiful. Thank you!

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, eggs, fake meat - (Garden, Benelovent, Boca), tofu, tempeh. My newest obsession is Starbucks double shot coffee with 20g protein (200 cal) to start the day.

Brunch- tuna salad w/vegan Mayo, red onions, dill relish and a hard boiled egg Dinner - Gardin meatless meatloaf, boiled red potatoes mixed with cauliflower and vegan butter, steamed Brussel sprouts. Note I’m pescatarian but have vegan family thus the vegan butter and mayo:)

There used to be a Fitbit group here on mfp that explains the difference that might explain it better than I can.

Sweet stuff just tastes good so naturally we are going to want to eat it. It’s not very satiating so we can eat a lot of it. This is what works for me... Plenty of sleep, water and nutritious foods. I don’t buy sweets for my home at all in large quantities. It’s either a small individual pack of kisses or similar max 200…

Look on reddit at r/mealprepSunday Tons of recipes there too.

This is the real answer here OP.

I eat at 10 and 3-4ish as that seems to be my natural hunger times so my brunch and dinner are about equal at 500 calories or so and it sometimes leaves room for a snack.

I'm not sure if you are on reddit but look at r/mealprepsunday. I've seen a ton of make ahead breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches you can refrigerate or freeze ahead of time.

This has happened to me on occasion. I just reduce my calories over the next few days by 100 or so. That keeps my average daily calories at a deficit. I particularly like eating out because I also come home with next days lunch, as portion sizes are huge now days.

I love huge big as my head salads with everything in it. I use the greek yogurt ranch dressing. My salads can get up to 600 with added avocado, cheese, beans and a boca chicken patty so I have to go very light on the dressing:)
