My last name literally means pot-bellied (fat in the stomach area) and many of my family members are overweight. Though every single member of my family is able to and had lost weight at one point in there lives or another. Weight is about eating habits and our environment. In some cases people may have a real medical…

Calorie counting let me try new things and have more variety to my food. Though some things dont taste as good as they used to. For example I used to love pasta but now I don't really like it anymore. Though now I really love chicken when before I though it was only ok.

I found that this article helped inspire me to go to the gym more. I hope this helps you. https://www.google.com/amp/www.mensfitness.com/life/entertainment/workout-advice-terry-crews/amp

Cheese Steak

Somebody already said it but I have to say Clif Builder peanut butter chocolate bars are the best protein bars out there. They are amazing and they dont share the same weird texture or that fake protein taste that other protein bars have.

At the rec center I go to they have the cardio machines facing the windows. So I always find myself looking at people by the reflection in the window. Like today I think I stared at this one girl back for at least a solid minute since she had this really weird shirt. Because of the color of the shirt at first it didn't…

The government not suppuses to tax necessities. Food is a necessity. Junk food is food. End of story. If the government actually wanted to help the obesity crisis they would invest in education and infrastructure that people can walk/bike on.

Chocolate usually but recently blueberry muffins have been my downfall.

168 calorie blueberry muffin: http://www.wellplated.com/healthy-blueberry-muffins/ Personally this is my new obsession its a great recipe that makes 12 muffins. Then another thing I found was the tomato bun BLT and that looks interesting. (recipe:…

The thing that helped me get to see the weight loss changes in the mirror was a tape measure and the websites http://bodyvisualizer.com/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20160330024156/http://www.marisota.co.uk/shop/freeformat/page.action?pageId=7758 Both websites show what your body type looks like based off of…

I agree that we learn alot of are eating and fitness habits from our parents. Then those eating habits contribute to a persons health and weight. Also I was watching this very interesting ted talk on obesity and people's knowledge on food by Jamie Oliver. Link is below if anyone is interested.…

I finally got to try Halo Top Birthday Cake icecream and Artic Zero cookie and cream shake ice cream. The Halo top ice cream tasted very artificial at the end but it still tasted like cake. Then the artic zero blew me away. It literally tasted like the frozen cookie and cream milkshakes I used to make myself during the…

When I first went to the gym I wore this gym shirt and I felt so self conscious in it I had to wear spandex under it in order feel confident enough to go to the gym. Its was to tight and showed every fat roll I had. Today I just realized that the same gym shirt is starting to get to big for me.

I saw a picture of me at my hightest weight earlier today and was taken back. Its only been 40lbs but the change in even my face alone is crazy. Its been hard noticing weight lose from day to day but the diffrence over months is crazy.

Log everything that passes your lips. You don't need to eat everything on your dish.

1 cup of cheerios has half your daily iron in it. So try 2 cups of cheerios with milk. I had one cup a day for a few weeks and got my iron level up so I could be able to donate blood. Though its also not the end of the world if your low on iron so dont rush thing with the vitamins. Also to answer your question too much…

Though some scales are sensitive. For example my scale has been off by 10 grams multiple times. So eyeballing helps me notice if my scale is acting up from some thing weird surrounding it.

Dont worry about it. The weight loss will slow down with the more you lose.

There are many breakfast cereals that have 50% of your recommended iron intake per a cup. So two cups and you meet your iron goal. Just look at the box on the nutrition facts and you will see the percentages.

Weight scales are awesome. I love mine and I use it at every opportunity. It is more accurate then measuring cups and is quick to use. Also my baking improved by measuring the ingredients. Then my recipes are easyer to get a calorie estimate from. So I feel that scales are the best thing ever and is something every should…

Im having a similar problem. While I was eating 1200 calories a day I had my periods but they would be really short and very light. Though now Im eating 1800 calories a day and my periods are still lighter and shorter then when I was eating 1200 calories a day. Also some medicines have side effects that mess with periods…

I usually pair a cup of cereal with some fruit.

I ate a chocolate cupcake at my college cafeteria and their was no lable for it so I got another one carried it to my dorm to measure it to get a more correct logging.

Just keep up with CICO and they will stop once you prove them wrong. I seriously don't understand why people don't believe in CICO since they believe in working out and or eating healthier helps lose weight. The only difference is that we use numbers to track how much we burn when working out and how much we eat. So where…

Search for the videos Tasty makes on youtube they have a ton of quick and simple recipes that look delicious. It has video footage of them making each of the foods so you can just rewatch what they did in the video if you are confused.

First semester in college I lost around 34lbs so it is possible. I ate 1200cals a day every day (lose 2 pounds a week) with no cheat days ever. I was always strict with portions, went to the gym 1-3 times a week and walked around 2.5miles a day. Though when it came to calories I ate anything I wanted in my limit. Its tough…

Fuji Apple, they are 80 calories of sweet flavorful crunchy juicy goodness. When they are in session I eat around one or two a day. They also look amazing since they are so tiny and the skin of the apple is a beautiful light red.

In diffence for the gluten is evil myth it did help give more choices to people with celiacs and people with gluten intolerance. So its not the worst myth. Also gluten free brownies and chocolate cakes are the best if you love chocolate.
