Today I hit the lowest weight I’ve been in 2.5 years. It kind of makes me sad, just a little. Like, why didn’t I do this before?

I buy the Ghirardelli 86% dark chocolate squares that are individually wrapped. They’re 60 calories each, and I can usually manage to keep it to 1 or 2 squares per day. Or if my husband buys cookies that I like, I might have a single cookie and it’s part of my “after dinner” calories. Sometimes fruit is good too—especially…

In the afternoon, 220 calories of some combination of: Fage Greek yogurt Larabar (pb/choc chip) Dark chocolate square Banana Apple Raw cauliflower/carrots/grape tomatoes with hummus After dinner, about 350 calories of some combination of: Wine Beer Crackers and cheese Dark chocolate square the occasional cookie (like the…

I also gradually cut out milk and sugar in my coffee, and now enjoy it black. It’s easier and quicker, too. But best of all, not only am I saving those calories, I also have a more even appetite. Kicking off the day with three cups of sugared-up coffee made me hungry in no time. All day. It was very difficult to keep…

I would recommend doing what you think is really sustainable over the long haul. Working out hard 5 days in a row is not sustainable for me, so I’m not going to start that and rely on it for weight loss, because what will happen when life happens and I can’t workout that often? Yeah, the weight will come back. I rely on…

I suspect there are many accidental cases of scrolling-thumb-itis—I know it’s happened to me!

This is me too, and yes I do! Especially at night before bed—gives me an idea what it will look like in the morning.

It’s my impression that the OP was saying that he’s “in the green” by 1300 calories over 6 days. Ie, under his calorie goal by a little more than 200 per day. In effect, “banking” 1300 calories that he can eat later and still be at goal. Then the chicken wing extravaganza put him in the red by 1700 calories in one day. So…

When you feel the panic rising once you realize your food scale is saying it’s “Lo” on battery.

When you count out how many pieces of pasta you’re putting in your bowl, because you weighed it dry and know how many pieces are in one serving (21 for Barilla rigatoni). When, instead of asking you how big of a glass of wine you’d like, your spouse instead asks, “how many ounces?” while heading towards the food scale.…

I was just about to write in favor of slowly switching to black coffee. I think it has really helped me with my appetite due to not having calories and sugar in the morning, plus it just gives me those extra calories to use later in the day. I now just have black coffee until lunch at 1pm, and it’s really helped me manage…
