For 8 years now I've only used measurements and pictures as my tracking system. It's more reliable than checking your weight, in my opinion. I also say pictures because when I started adding more weights into my routine my glutes grew bigger but my waist stayed the same, and in the pictures I could see I was more defined…

Hello everyone. Will join this month as it really helps with my accountability, and seeing you all smashing your goals is motivating! I've been in quarantine since mid March (very strict here in Spain) and my weight has been consistently creeping up as bad habits have resurfaced along with less and less exercise. 28, 5'7 /…

I meal prep a bunch of basics on Sunday and toss them together in different combinations for my packed lunches throughout the week: -Roast a bunch of veggies in the oven, current faves: pumpkin, parsnip and carrots for sweetness (with maple syrup are sooo good), broccoli/cauliflower for crunch (I recommend cauliflower…

It's been a while since I've done one of these but I really enjoyed the accountability and sharing aspect of the thread, so here it goes! I don't have a scale at home so I go by measurements, tightness of clothing and pictures: Goal 1: My aim for this month is nothing too drastic, lose aprox. 2 cm in hips and thighs…

Growing up we had salad almost every day. Usually some type of in-season lettuce, tomatoes and spring onion as the base. "Bonito in olive oil" which is a form of tuna, and avocados often, but I didn't like the avocado's texture as a kid (I LOVE it now). Up to this day, my brother and me will scarf down any salad that comes…

Never tried this! Do you use a particular recipe? I used to live in Jakarta and Bangkok, I miss the types of desserts over there :)

Also not sure if you've noticed this but when using the app on your phone, if the food you want is still somewhere on that list, it will pop up as a suggestion while you're typing...saves me a lot of time compared to when I'm using MFP on my computer. This way you can multi-add several food items at once just by typing a…

I'm always surprised by the fact people think Walden Farms tastes "ok". Positive reviews are the reason I ever gave them a go, and it was such a disappointment. Again, to each his own but I wouldn't recommend the OP to make that investment seeing as it's more expensive to ship to NZ and there's a high probability she'll…

I have a random question: I believe my technique might be a bit off in terms of my hand/arm movement because whenever I row for more than 20 minutes I usually end up with blisters around my inner thumb area, even when wearing gloves... I guess I rotate my hands in their grip, or let the handle slide and turn; should I keep…

I'm trying to get my first ever pull up! It has been awhile now that I'm trying :D but I'm not giving up. Can do 8 with a resistance band to help me up, that's my best attempt yet. I live in a big city so outdoor sports are a bit of a challenge, though I love rock climbing and there are some indoor areas I could try and go…

Hello! I'm 27 and living in Europe as well! I have a full time job in France, so my daily goals are to find balance between the office, social life, travelling and making it to the gym enough times each week. Sometimes it's hard to have a bit of everything! This is a lifestyle for me, as I have little left to lose and am…

Emotional eating is a way to mostly cope with non-food-related issues, so the first step is to address your 'triggers'. How you're feeling, what is wrong, why are you using food to avoid what's upsetting you, the steps you need to take to change this, etc. As the person above said, writing things down helps to become aware…

I completely agree you need to find the good recipes that bring out the flavor! In Pinterest there are a lot of recipes and you can tweak them to suit your dietary needs. A VERY important tip I've learnt is to always drain your tofu before cooking with it! I do this by wrapping the tofu block in a kitchen cloth and then…

I'm struggling with motivation these past few weeks, but it's become such a habit being active and eating healthier that it IS a lifestyle by now. So even if I've derailed a bit, I do give myself time to acknowledge this and be okay with my current slump. Life can't be at a high all the time! Still, I am doing *small*…

Hi! I'm 27, live in Europe, I absolutely love eating everything, but also feeling healthy and staying active, though it still happens that due to travel and work I tend to go off my habits for some time..I always bounce back (eventually) though! Feel free to add me

When recovering from any ed, the most important thing is to recover. That means focusing on being healthy. First and foremost, your mind has to recover from this fight. So your mindset should focus less on gaining only muscle (which is not normal for anyone) and more on reaching a healthy weight while being active (25 mins…

I've been keeping my flexibility at the point where I'd improved last year -not yet splits, but better than ever before- but have not been consistent several months so have barely maintained. I think it is a good moment to make the commitment again, being September and all that ;) I'll start trying to stick with 12 mins x…

After eyeing this group for soooo long, I'm finally joining in! I will check the video recommendations from the first post after work :D It's about time I start practicing more, I always do one attempt against the wall after my workout when I have no time left and am very tired, get discouraged and leave. When does…

Peanut butter <sigh> and cheese. I basically never buy PB anymore because I will have the whole jar in two days by the spoonful. I bought PB2 but rarely use it. As for cheese, I'm better at controlling it. I've found a few lighter but still tasty versions of my favorites which I have on the daily and leave the real,…

Agree with the above, 125g of uncooked large shell pasta will be a big serving once cooked. Add in sauce and some veggies and/or protein and it will be very voluminous and filling. I'd recommend downsizing the pasta serving size so it doesn't have such a large impact on your daily intake, and adding lots of vegetables…

The less amount of weight you have to lose, the harder it gets! Plateauing is normal at your stage of weight loss and, though it can be disheartening, you have to stick to it. Cutting back on your calories is not a good idea as it will later be harder to maintain you new weight once you reach maintenance and have to…

Are you intolerant to anything? Does it get swollen after certain meals? It could be a digestive issue rather than a workout one, which would seem rare if you are doing the exercises properly..

Although not a 'clean eating website', tastykitchen.com has amazing recipes and you can filter and search for healthy/low carb/clean/light etc keywords to find the lighter alternatives. Some others I like: @rebelrecipes for amazing vegetarian dishes @chocolatecoveredkatie for deliciously healthy sweets @pinchofyum for…

I was also confused as I got a few woos posting non-negative things (like plain facts or even my progress in a challenge) but felt the woo was somewhat negative...so now this confirms it's BS. Just give us a thumbs down.

Aah I'm pretty much in your situation, ran out of Nuvarings last month and am abroad so can't buy one here..now I'm waiting for my first real cycle (already late) and I'm starting to feel the bloating accumulate :s Let's see how it goes!

:D lmao Yes, probably a protein/granola bar...but it's kinda sad to be dipping it in coffee
