If you have 3 meals a day and make them each around 300 calories then you will have 300 calories left for snacks. 300 calories doesn't seem like much but if you cut out snacks each meal could be 400 calories. It's a bit of a learning curve at the beginning. Try looking for low calorie meals and snacks. If you go over a…

Hi Angela! I also am in the same boat. I have over 100lbs to lose. Great job on seeing a nutritionist. Talking with someone about food can be so helpful. Even just sharing my thoughts on My Fitness Pal helps me process and understand things better. One thing that helps me is that I start with the veggies first. If my plate…

I know what you mean, I had to delete people who no longer are on here. But then again, I have also been the inactive one at times. I'm sending you a friend request because I am looking for more friends on this journey! I want to lose over 100lbs. Have a nice day, take care!

Before when I was losing weight I would usually eat back up to 75% of the exercise calories I burned. Some days I'd eat less, some days I'd eat up to 100% back. The amount changed everyday depending on how I felt. I usually like to leave some calories remaining.

Lately I've been trying to manage my stress by doing things that are good for me, like exercising, meditating, listening to music, focusing on each breath. Sometimes I try talking to someone, or journalling my feelings. I think doing ANYTHING positive is better than turning to food. Oh I also make self-care part of my…

Thanks, I could maybe try this. I stopped drinking tea with sugar and sometimes add milk to make it sweeter.

Lol 😂

I think this is great insight! I think it has something to do with the area where you live, particularly if there are a lot of health conscious people there. If someone were to open a fast food restaurant there, it might tank because not many people would want to go there. I think giving people access to affordable…

How about making a salad with their favourite veggies? Anything could go in to a salad, green peppers, spinach, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, feta cheese etc. If they seem hesitant to try just tell them that part of the fun is trying different combinations of ingredients and they get to put whatever they want in their salad 🥗…

I think you should go do it alone because this is your goal, it is what you have been working towards. If it's something that's important to you, you really don't want to miss out on it and regret it later. It's probably not going to be exactly what you imagined without your husband there but go for it and take lots of…

Hi, I don’t have a problem with insomnia, but I used to have a problem with eating too much at night. What helped me was to set an eating schedule, where I ate breakfast as soon as I woke up and ate my last meal (or evening snack) at 8pm and then nothing else for the rest of the night. Whenever I got hungry I would just…

Thank you, I found this plan that I’m going to be following. It is one of the easier ones I’ve found. https://www.active.com/fitness/articles/a-5k-running-walking-training-plan

Popcorn, veggie chips or a chocolate chip granola bar if I want something sweet.

Ooh sounds good! I love regular red tomatoes so this’ll be a nice treat for tomorrow. Thank you!

Hi I have pcos and over 80lbs to lose. Feel free to add me!

We can do anything through Christ who strengthens us!

Add me

What are you eating? You might be lacking the nutrients your body needs to feel good. Congrats on the weight loss. Are you trying to lose more?

I was walking home yesterday, and I walked by two girls that looked at me and went, "Ew". A year earlier, that comment would've upset me for days, but now I don't really care. It stung a bit, but I'm not going to let those kinds of people get me down anymore. If they choose to say that, go right ahead, I'm just going to…

I used to make mashed lentils. I'd boil them and add a little oil and salt and mash them. Was surprisingly tasty.

Find your why. Why do you want to lose weight? It could be one big reason, like an upcoming reunion, or maybe it's a lot of small reasons, like going clothes shopping and buying what you want, instead of the only things that come in your size. Think of how happy you'll be, and how proud of yourself, when you reach this…

What is sea veg? What are the supplements called? The only one I know of is fish oil, and my doctor didn't recommend it for me. And I've never heard of there being omega in veggies, just in eggs. Do all veggies have it? Thanks.

I'm so mad it cut off my message. You can't add any emojis to these threads! Ok, as I was saying.. It's my understanding that eating fish is better than eating any other type of meat. I spoke with a dietician last week and she said "Everyone should be eating two servings of fatty fish a week". Off the Eatright Ontario…

Hey everyone, thanks for the replies
