I'm surprised your RDN went with intermittent fasting! I just started with my RDN, and she explained everything about the importance of 3 balanced meals a day and keeping your metabolism working. But, it obviously worked well for you, so it's true what they say about different things working for different people!…

Maybe he thinks of losing weight as something you have to starve yourself over or something you have to do a specific diet for. He just needs to log his food and eat within calorie requirement. I Still eat sweets and junk food. Not every day but often enough. I understand there will be days that I eat advice my…

I just bought a dozen eggs with that in mind, and I did have tuna. The problem is I get nauseas if I eat tuna plain or prolonged. I was doing a tuna sandwich for work lunch, but that ended up being only like 10 grams of protein. I was better off just eating the protein bar (pure protein). I try to find high protein recipes…

See this is the info I need. That's exactly what I'm wanting. Keep muscle burn fat. My body fat as per a calculator available on spotebi, using weight, waist, hip, wrist, and forearm, is 28.8% (weird because I feel like I have more body fat than muscle). Which I'm sure it's calculating incorrectly bit I front know…

Sorry it took so long. Lots of stuff going on in my personal life. To everyone suggesting I walk my dog, I would love to do that but am not really allowed to as per vet's orders. My dog has a luxating patella and some early signs of arthritis. If she gets any exercise outside of short potty walks, she's limited to…

;p you could potentially save those calories for the next day and indulge in something decadent

I just use my small salad plates (You know how you buy like a 40 count of dishes, you have the big plate, then you have the smaller plate. I believe that smaller plate is called a salad plate) for dinner. It does help, psychologically. Normal portions on a small plate make it seem like you're not losing out. If you have…

x.x Oh god I didn't even realize that it was PMS appetite that I was experiencing last month. It seemed so normal to randomly wake up and go "I really want to eat more, so I guess I'll eat at maintenance today" for the entirety of the week.

Hello! I'm 5'4F with 130 lb to lose. Feel free to add me. I've mostly been just restricting the amount of calories in. I walk the dog about 3 miles 3 days a week. The other 3 days (minus Sunday) I go to the gym and do cardio on the elliptical. I eat part of my exercise calories back (I'm set at sedentary). SW: 261 CW:…

This isn't the reason why I'm doing this, but it is what sparked the thoughts. I've been in a long distance relationship for almost 2 years now, and we're finally getting the chance to visit in February. I have always hated myself for how I look (I've been overweight since middle school about 10 years ago), and I wanted to…

I personally wouldn't mind that either. However, I have a pet peeve seeing small self-portioned packages saying their portion size is part of the container when obviously people eat the entire container. (Like, say you want to bring one of those small cups of macaroni and cheese that you just pop into the microwave. Some…

I believe the last time the FDA took data to determine what a serving size should be (based off of what the typical American ate) was somewhere in the late 1900's. I can't remember where I last read that, but believe me that the guidelines are very old. There is a change that must be completed by late July 2018. This will…

I just put sedentary and log exercise and eat a portion of the calories. Some days I just decide not to exercise. The thing about 'lightly active' and higher settings is that you have to consistently be that active. With me putting sedentary, I have the choice to not exercise.

I was about to make a post about this, unsure if people even knew the changes were coming. Good thing I searched to see if a thread already existed. Companies have until July 26, 2018 to comply. Foods imported into the US will also have to comply to the changes. Also, I'm not seeing anyone pointing out the changes to…

Good thing the FDA is changing how calories are displayed. Companies have until July 26, 2018 to comply. I go to make a small package of popcorn, and it says "serving size is 2 tbsp unpopped" and I'm just like ".............really? You expect me to open the back of popcorn and then pop it separately? Why not even put how…

@selina884 Wow what a jerk response. I actually wanted to use a few other choice words, but someone here has to have common decency. Don't post in threads I'd you're going to be an *kitten* about it.

I've only lost 11 lb so far, but for me it seems like I'm losing more band size at the moment. Some lose breast tissue, some don't. ; ; I'm one that likely will. I started a 46I, now I think I'm like....44I or 44J. Something like that. I still have 120 lb to lose :'( I'm sad because I don't like the idea of deflated boobs

Starting weight : 261 Current weight : 252.6 October goal : 244 Ultimate goal : 120-130 October 1st : October 8th: October 15th : October 22nd : October 29th : Total loss for October :

You're focusing on the numbers. Some people don't know what weight they really want to be at because they never HAVE been that weight. I want to be anywhere between 120-135 lb. I don't know which weight I'd be happy with because I've never been there. I have to wait and see when I get to that point. Plus, what if she wants…

This is my dinner tonight. * 8oz of Dr Pepper (Glass bottle. My favorite. It's sold in one place where I'm from, and that's 15 miles away) 100 calories * [1] 4oz serving of Turkey Meatloaf (90% lean ground turkey, saltines to bind, 1 egg, and topped with ketchup) 220 calories * 1/2 cup of Idahoan Fully Loaded Bacon &…

; ; I went to Whole Foods and saw both Halo and Arctic Zero. I tried Arctic Zero, and it was...like if you made hot chocolate that was way too watered down and then went cold. Now the Halo is where it's at. It tastes mostly like real ice cream and so few calories. I like the variety of flavors. It's good for a monthly…

You should also post this in the fitness section. A lot of advise regarding workouts there.

Sometimes I go for the low fat stuff, especially when it's just an ingredient in a recipe (such as cheese or milk). Sometimes I don't when I want to have the flavor. For me, the most important part is attempting to stay under the calorie restriction. I can always exercise and burn calories to make room for the more fatty…

Each person is different. I eat twice a day. No snacks. About 250 of 1340 calories is my lunch, which is flavored wheat thins and cottage cheese. The fat from the cottage cheese tides me over until after work. The rest I have in dinner after my workout. Sometimes I add half a cup of soup to my lunch. Sometimes I just have…

I set myself to sedentary and add my workout calories when I work out and then eat most of them back. I COULD put "lightly active", but then I would have to consistently be lightly active. Some days I don't go to the gym. It just feels safer this way.

I'm set to lose 2 lb a week, and I've lost 11 lb so far in this first month. This is also with me slingshotting due to binge days (blech)

Hello everyone! I'm 5'4/250 lbs (I started at 261 lbs!), and my goal weight is between 120 and 130 lbs. It all really depends on how I look when I get there. I've been going to the gym (on a semi-regular basis. I average 3-4 days a week for half an hour, but on my best I do 6 days a week). I'm not really focusing on…

The gym isn't required for losing weight. Just put your info as sedentary in the calculator and stay within your calorie limits.

@cmriverside Yes I read those, but I'm a hands-on type learner. Reading all of that made me MORE confused :/

Welcome back! I'm also a Virgo! Oh and I have 130-145 (depending on how I like the results) to lose. Well...probably 120-135 now. :) Feel free to add me!
