Had you been seeing progress each week before? If so congrats! For me, and probably many others, we have to wait several weeks to see progress like weight loss. Someone else can advise about muscles, since I don't know about that. If it's just one week maybe you'll see better results next week, or the ones after, just keep…

Chat about fitness, lol :)

I'm in the same boat as you, 1600 calories. 0/ too few exercise calories to eat back. The foods I eat vary...things I like- fries, pizza, chocolate & things I enjoy like variety of veggies, lentils, avocado, salmon, nuts, beans, ribs, cookies etc

Good to know

Great tips thanks for sharing

Excellent advice! thanks alot for sharing, will check it out :)

I can relate. Sometimes I eat with no distractions, & make a "meal event" for snacks and that seems to help :)

Good question! Hadn't thought about it for definition, yet... For now, I'd say it's being more mindful/aware of: what I'm eating (is it nutritious); why I'm eating (hunger or emotional); when I'm getting satiated (being aware if/when eating to fullness or being overstuffed); and what decision I make when satiated (stop…

had forgotten about this question, lol. in case you see this, I too would say I eat fast and mindlessly. I'm working on being mindful :)

These are great tips, pal pointed me here, thanks!

Curious to hear other things you may be doing that get your body moving (do you walk or cycle to places in warmer weather, maybe garden work, house cleaning etc). It sounds like you me around enough, and don't need a muscular look (if I read correct the hubby appreciates your natural looks) :) congrats you've found what…

Loved this visual! OP if it's of any help I have similar wishes or half similar- if I could - I'd wish to lose weight just in my stomach- oh I'd be so lucky. But apparently we can't do that. So I'm about four months into this and I still can't see weight loss and don't look slimmer to myself and to many people who see me…

Agreed, Yes I get very embarrassing auto-suggestions or auto-correct. (Add on to my very many duh moments lol)

Lol, again, I still misread wow, amazing how we can all see same something and see different things. Yeah your paper might have been quite a paper!

Excellent advice, thanks!! Agree wholeheartedly on good daily nutrition. :) I agree with everything you advise :) I still also think it could be helpful to know how to track the grams of sugar for those who have reason to.

Ok got it now. I also don't know where she gets her number 26g. I was going by her statement that her count is higher than she wants. Lol! word surfaces in her question was meant to be sources, so she was talking of suggested sources of 26g, not her goal at all, lol? Lol

Cool, did you put in anything to get them to last 2 years?

Ok can also means glass jar, got it. :) Not sure whether homemade sauce lasts as long as store bought, which seem to stay good for months?

I read this Quote and I look at my sugar counts that are higher then I want them

Ok thanks it's totally possible I misread the parts I quickly read (as I skipped parts of the thread), oops! Anyway, glad we're on same page that individuals could choose what works for them, whether there's an underlying health need or not, or just a personal preference.

Lucky!!!!

Good to know, thanks! Do you start with fresh tomatoes?

Was talking about glass jars of tomato sauce. Not sure how they get to stay good for long periods. :) agreed that "fresh" is a loose term if the farm isn't right there

Excellent points thanks. The reason to make my own wouldn't be entirely for sugar, but to have better knowledge what's inside the sauce. Not sure how the tomatoes in jars stay fresh.:)

Nice! Maybe it's possible not all jars are created equal sugar wise. I have a jar which says 6g of sugar per serving. When I eat a tomato, mfp tells me it's 2 gram per serving. Maybe I should start making my own sauce :)

Thanks for sharing, yes it's helpful to kniw, I think this is very much in line with one of the earliest responses which suggested not to worry if it's mostly from natural sources. Great tip. While I now see how natural sources can add up to 80 g OP or myself or others may choose to have lower goals. I hope OP now knows…

Excellent thanks 4 grams per calorie, got it!

Thanks for explaning again. Actually yes the point I wanted to make was that the OP or anyone can choose to have an individual goal of 26g or whatever number in gram she chooses. Oops, I didn't follow the full debate as it was hard to read on phone. :)

Yes it does help to know where there sugar is from, if one is interested or curious So I looked also went looking into my diary, I had a day of 1895 calories, 51 g of sugar (mostly from cookies ) A more "regular" day of about 1650 calories, was 26 g of sugar, mostly from natural sources
