I count them but I don't eat them back.

I wear dark colored leggings because my pelvic area sweats a lot and I don't wanna look like I wet myself.

This is one of the reasons I prefer running outside as opposed to a treadmill. I can run at my own pace without the numbers on the treadmill intimidating me.

I tried to do the 30 minute circuit before and I couldn't really get the timing down. How do you do 5 sets of 10 reps and wipe down the machine in the time allowed? Or do you just do 1 set of 10 reps and keep going around to complete the amount of sets you would like to?

I would think that outdoor walk feature would also include the different variations in level ground that may incur outdoors. Generally indoor walking is a flat surface. I would choose indoor if I were you.

I've made one out of pureed cauliflower. Boil cauliflower til soft. Puree with garlic, little bit of cream, and parm cheese.

I have my garmin level set at 5 and mfp at sedentary. I have a desk job and only average 6000-7000 steps. I turned off the heart rate tracker yesterday during the day and it gave me 400 extra calories which seems more realistic.

I do tend to ignore the excessive calories it gives and only pay attention to the ones I get from an actual workout. It is not auto assuming workouts during elevated heart rate times. I'm not on meds and have never been told I have a high heart rate. It says my average is 74. It records a high of 130 on days where I…

Really? Do you have the heart rate tracker on all the time? I wonder why mine is so wrong? It gives me 2000-3000 extra active calories on days when I am taking only 6000-7000 steps. When I choose to track a specific activity, I feel that it gives me an accurate burn but its the all day heart rate that causes me issues.

I have a Garmin Vivosmart HR and it says I burn an insane amount of calories each day and pushes that over to MFP. If I really had 4000 calories to eat a day, I wouldn't need to track my food.

Absolutely 30 pounds can make a difference! I'm down 30 ish and 4 pant sizes.

Are you tracking your calories? Weighing and logging everything you eat? There is 13 weeks until Thanksgiving, recommended weight loss is a max of 2 pounds a week. You should really only plan on losing 30 or so pounds.

You rinse your meat after cooking? I have never heard of that!

I use a Garmin Vivosmart HR for my workouts and as a daily tracker. I wish I had bought the HR+ for GPS but I carry my phone and use Map My Walk for GPS.

How are carbs causing your struggle? Can you explain more?

My provider warned me about weigh gain on the depo. I went for my yearly checkup after 1 year on the shot and I was down 30 lbs. Its not the shot that makes you gain weight. Giving into cravings and not eating less than your burn causes the gain.

I like a mixture of brown rice and cauliflower rice cooked in chicken broth. I cook the rice and add frozen cauli rice towards the end. As for pasta, I like making noodles out of zucchini. That doesn't meet your requirement of tasting exactly like pasta tho.

I 2nd the steamer bags. I love them for weeks when I have little time to meal prep.

If I go over my calories, I like to look at what my maintenance calories are. I'm trying to lose 2lbs a week, so maintenance is 1000 calories more than my usual. Usually, I end up still being at a deficit.

Since the calorie burns MFP gives are estimates, if I was only pruning flowers and picking weeds, I would only eat back maybe 25% of my calories. The type of work you are describing, I would eat back closer to 75% of what MFP says.

I kinda have the same problem. If I warm up less than 15 minutes, my calves feel the same way, the right more than the left. I like to do heel dips? I'm not sure if that's what they are called but, standing on the edge of the stairs and dipping my heels down. Lunges and toe touches also help me.

Starve a fever, feed a cold. Thats what Grandma said.

I went for brunch on Easter, holy cow was it delicious! The plate I chose clocked in at over 1200 calories, totally worth it tho!

I am currently doing a C25K program, however I generally go for 30 minutes longer than the program dictates. I choose the walk workout feature as opposed to the run option.

Dark chocolate covered almonds rolled in turbinado sugar and sea salt, 13 almonds for 200 calories. Not too bad for a sweet snack. Chili lime chicken burgers from the freezer section are another one of my favorites.

Whole 30 and Keto don't necessarily go hand in hand. I would pick one and roll with it. All while making sure you are within your calorie limits of course.

Hiking/trail running.

I have a routine. I work for a medical/dental clinic. Every weekday I come into work and do a specific task. Once that is completed, I walk up around the clinic and check the scale as part of my walk. I don't weigh myself on the weekends. I track using Libra.
