You can absolutely see a difference! Did you happen to take your measurements in December? I find my measurements can be more telling than a simple number on the scale or a bunch of pictures. I def agree with the comment about recomp. Keep up the great work!

Oatmeal with almond milk, strawberries, scoop of plant based protein powder

I would bring all this up to the doctor that prescribed you the Adderall or a general practitioner. They may be able to answer your question or possibly refer you to a nutritionist.

Keep at it! There are times when the scale won't move then one day I'll lose like 2 lbs. Make sure you're logging everything accurately and you're not overestimating your exercise calories causing you to eat too much. Days like this I try to focus on how my clothes fit and how I feel overall. You can do this!!

^^^this. If you have a bunch of calories left over see if you are lacking any nutrients (especially protein). Grab a protein bar, some cottage cheese, an apple, some beef jerky, handful of nuts...

Pickles, popcorn, salted nuts, beef jerky

I usually drag my boyfriend along when I buy workout pants. He doesn't mind squat checking for me :D

What exercises are you doing? Skull crushers, kickbacks, dips, and overhead extensions always get me. You can always youtube some videos before trying them.

I use Vega chocolate or vanilla almost every day. I can't consume whey either, this seems to work for me.

The water in cold brewed coffee stays in contact with the grounds for a longer period of time than when you quickly brew a pot of coffee and stick that in the fridge. The flavor is much more concentrated and usually needs to be diluted down with a little water (which means a pitcher will last longer) and the caffeine…

Try making a big batch of cold brew coffee at home. I use like a cup or 2 of grounds in a huge pot, fill with water, let sit in fridge overnight, strain the next day into a pitcher and you'll have coffee for a while! Or you can cheat and buy cold brew coffee by the gallon at most grocery stores.

When I do get iced coffee I typically go to Starbucks and order a Venti cold brew (yay caffeine) with 2 pumps mocha, 1 pump classic, splash of milk. Sometimes I make my own iced coffee in a french press so I can control what I add to it. Neither way is going to add up to 350 calories.

I log all my gym classes as cardio. I wear a heart rate monitor to track my calories since I can take the same class but burn a different amount of calories based on the options I choose day to day (like you said...high or low intensity).

I use Vega almost every day :smile:

I generally eat back some of the calories I burn through exercise, but not all. If you find yourself completely starving don't deny yourself those calories.

I'm 5'6" 160 lbs. My calorie goal is around 1400 but I cook most of my meals so if you like any of them you just get to eat more :p My diary is open to friends, will add you.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I couldn't decide so I'm trying a bunch!

I've never even heard of these. Exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you so much! Unfortunately I live in the US and they don't ship here :( Thank you though!

My diary is open to my friends. Knowing that any of them can look at it keeps me motivated to eat well.

I hope it's not the flu! I don't have any other symptoms.

Mix: 1/2 cup oats 2 tbsp PB2 half scoop chocolate Vega protein powder Add: 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk I eat with a spoon like cereal. I imagine it would thicken up if you let it sit overnight. Comes to 285 calories. I ate breakfast at 7:30am and wasn't hungry until 11:45!

Haha I suppose not!

Ariana Grande- Sweet like candy

Everytime my mom visits (2-3 times per year) she comments on how fit my dog looks and how my dog doesn't look like she's gained weight.

Snacks-tuna, dried figs, roasted edamame with sea salt, fruit chunks (pineapple, canteloupe, honeydew), apple, banana, low sodium deli meat and sliced cheese wrap Lunch-brown rice, steamed veggies, lean protein such as chicken. Salad with chicken, black beans, carrots, bell pepper, sprinkle of cheese, go easy on any…

Start over. If you feel you can do more after a workout, go for it. Don't push yourself too hard at first.

You and me both. Today is day 2 of starting over for me. You got this!!!!

I realized complicated isn't necessary, I just love to cook :) I've tried scanning individually but was terrible at estimating how much of a serving I was consuming in a meal. Sounds like simple is going to be the key this time around. I'll def check out your blog. Thanks!
