I do the same but with carbonated water. Soo good!!

you could also ask them to cook the meat and peppers/onions in little to no oil if possible.

I would do the chicken or steak fajitas. Everything would probably come separate and you make your own thing. Hold the tortillas and just get rice. Then eyeball however much of a serving of rice you want (1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, 1 cup etc) Top it with all the meat and veggies you want (make sure the meat is approximately one…

170's and overweight BMI class!!! I may hit both of those tomorrow!! EEEK!!!

I didn't lose weight for the first 4-6 weeks. Started working out consistently Mid Jan, saw first loss on the scale March 3rd. Consistency and patience. Its a lifestyle change that will reward you in the long run. You won't see results overnight.

I love your mindset. I believe you will definitely get some weight off with the focus you have displayed. I also love your starter list except for one thing. I don't particularly agree with restricting yourself from calorie drinks and fast food. I believe that you should be able to enjoy everything in moderation so long as…

LOLL this is so me!! I charged it for 15 minutes yesterday so it would be charged for my 8 hour serving shift yesterday. Worth it as it ended up being a 3400 calorie burn day!!

You should add this one to the weight training section. It is me GO-TO for inspiration. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10151694/from-a-size-20-to-a-size-8-with-strength-training-in-one-year-pics/p1

You look great! You kinda remind me of Alicia Boe in your afters!

I like to do boneless skinless chicken thighs with salad. or steak and salad. or bun-less burger. or make a yummy ground turkey pasta sauce with peppers onions garlic and mushrooms over zucchini noodles. you could do grilled calamari and vegetables, grilled unbreaded chicken wings, chicken souvlaki, kabobs... there are SO…

I hate to borrow this girls pic without permission but it's posted on Google. I know she's on this site... Anyways, I'm not sure what image you have in your mind, but I can guess it might look something like the far right picture here. This is an excellent example of what recomposition can do for your body. I believe this…

If you have to start off eating whatever you want then go for it. As long as it fits your calories for the day. As you start to lose weight your mind set will likely shift and you will start to think of ways to enjoy the same foods but with less calories so that you can still eat them but create a larger deficit. You will…

What about seasoning it with different things? chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, any club house brand seasoning, ranch seasoning, Italian seasoning, etc etc etc.

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet! Up here in Canada (I'm from the Toronto area) everyone is crazy about poutine. Fries (chips) topped with cheese curds and hot gravy! I like to add ketchup to mine and people think I'm nuts! The food is so popular that there is a food chain called Smokes Poutinerie which makes all…

You probably don't have to worry about that as you seem to be doing pretty well so far. Your loss will not always be as fast as the past few weeks have been though. Don't take that as a plateau. A true plateau is when the scale doesn't move for 3 weeks or more. You should expect to see about 1-3 lbs lost per week so if you…

My sister has the same mentality as you (and I did too for a longgggg time). But it really just starts with small changes. My sister gets a bacon cheese burger with fries cheese and gravy (Poutine in Canada) on the side and eats it all in one sitting. But you need to start making sacrifices. Have the bacon cheese burger…

I'm not on the keto diet but I strive to be in a caloric deficit everyday and have been working out since the middle of January. The scale didn't start to budge until March 3rd. That's 6 weeks! Fast forward to today and I'm down 19lbs and am getting stronger and more focused everyday. Stick with it and trust the process.…

I've got a few in the funnel I hope to hit in the next 2-4 weeks. Currently 186.4: 1) get into the 'low' 180's (184.8) [1.6lbs to go] 2) hit 20lbs lost (183.4) [3.0lbs to go] 3) cross Obese class 1 to Overweight (180.0) [6.4lbs to go] 4) get into the 170's (179.8) [6.6lbs to go] The next month is going to be really…

Sorry! Wrong word, but you get the gist of it :smiley:

Nuts, avocado, full fat sauces/ yogurt/ milk/ cheese, butter, oil, etc. Medium ground beef and cuts of meat that are well marbled. skin on chicken legs, chicken wings. ribs. pizza. lol really anything to put you in a calorie surplus. If you do some strength training alongside it you might be able to do a nice recomp.

Hahaha yess!!!! No nice panties for a few days. Funny how we have to think like that. "What's the situation like today? Oh no then these are all out of the question where are my almost-garbage-but-i-keep-them-for-my-heavy-days panties lollll"

Why don't you try to increase your activity a bit? Go for a 1km walk everyday to start? If you can get your daily calorie burn up then you will probably see a bit faster of a rate of loss.

I recently started taking probiotics. I now take 2 types (fridge type in the morning and shelf type in the evening) along with digestive enzymes twice a day, a multivitamin, and B 50 complex (I'm B12 deficient). I don't really notice anything yet but I think internally my body is happier than it was without them,…

Exactly!! One benefit of the period and water retention is that because I was SO CLOSE this week I feel like I want to eat PERFECTLY this weekend so I definitely see that number next week. Game face all weekend! :grimace:

Yep! It was more of a funny/vent post than something I'm actually genuinely concerned about. I've used a lot of smileys and "haha's" in this post just to make that clear. Just annoying is all. I'm over it already, just thinking about how to grill my beef tenderloin steak tonight LOL (hooray for sales!!) :lol:

Exactly. I felt like venting. Period stole my thunder. I was excited to dance around work today :D

I don't. But I still fit in my size 12's which I just started wearing a week or so ago so that's good enough for me hehe. It's not really a huge deal. Who knows maybe I'll eat perfectly and workout today any my water retaining self will see a 0.2lbs new low weight tomorrow morning. I'd be happy with that haha. :smile:

Yea it's frustrating especially in the early stages of weight loss when there is a sense of desperation. I think this cycle bothered me the most. The last few cycles I hit my low weight that week and then the bloating started and I just stayed off the scale for a few days and was happy to have achieved that number. But…

When I saw 188 and 187 this week they didn't phase me. I knew I had fun over the weekend and it showed. No biggie. But getting my hopes up for today to only be denied by my period annoyed me. Typically the trend is downward so I'm really not stressing. Just venting about water retention denying my excitement this week.…

I know that it's not fat. I said I'm retaining water. It's more FRUSTRATING than it is stressful. I just wanted to see that 186.6 or lower this morning. I was really looking forward to it. Now I'll have to wait till probably Tuesday or Wednesday next week.
