I love rice but also find it pretty high in calories. I now mix it 50/50 with cauliflower rice. Cuts back the calories and I don’t notice any taste difference! Still lower in calories then potatoes for me.

I won’t give up my full fat French vanilla coffee creamer. I just use less now. I eat light cheese whenever I can & yogurt, sour cream. I also like the half the fat mayonnaise. I prefer light though vs no fat

I use mushrooms, zucchini, garlic, carrot, onion with the sauce, extra lean ground beef or I use turkey! I use low fat mozzarella and low fat cottage cheese and full fat ricotta cheese. I use whole grain noddles. Honestly it’s still fairly high calories but with the whole grain pasta and lots of veggies I think it’s super…

Breakfast - Protein smoothie with scrambled eggs, turkey sausages and lots of vegg. Lunch - Taco salad. Dinner - Quesadilla or a sandwich. Snacks -cheese string, raw veggies, two coffees, I may have a protein bar depending on my hunger level later on.

Not a big help here but just wanted to say I’m in the same boat!

I didn’t quit drinking but I did cut down a lot!! I only drink wine on the weekends & a lot less then I use too. After cutting back so much though I will say that often times I find it not even worth it to drink because I rather eat some more dinner! 🤣 Honestly it gets easier just got to stick with it!

I just started tracking again yesterday! Not feeling too bad about getting off track for a couple weeks. Time to get my booty back on it though!

I checked and it is a bit lower. So should I up my carbs a bit or just wait it out and see if it goes away?

Definitely going to try some potatoe chips in the air fryer! Love my air fryer

I think im getting enough carbs here’s my macros for the last week!

I don’t eat 1200 daily that’s just the least amount I eat. Most days are 1400. Also the days I work out I definitely don’t eat 1200 calories I eat 1400. I’m a stay at home mom but I’m not very active to I find I don’t need a lot of calories. Already made a doctor appointment. I will say I went to bed super early last night…

Today was the last day of my monthly cycle could that be making it worse if my iron is low?

I don’t feel like my calories are super low.. and I’m finding it incredibly hard to work out. I can barely just do my job as a mom currently like this

Yes, while it’s normal that I may have 1 or 2 days out of the week I feel tired or sluggish it’s definitely not normal for me to feel this tired every day of the week. Or to this extreme. Most weeks I only have 1 cup of coffee in the morning and occasionally a cup in the afternoon but never do I feel like I need 3 or 4…

I took a diet break in oct for about a month. I currently eat anywhere from 1200-1400 calories a day. I have been staying closer to 1200 because I was really trying to amp up my weight loss. I only work out twice a week and I don’t eat those back. I really don’t want to take a break because I just took one in oct.. and I…

From Canada! & doing the same! Would love more friends!

My goal is 25g, I was getting only 10-15g but now that I’m trying harder I’m getting closer to 18-20g. TMI but I was having a really hard time with number 2 sense starting to lose weight and I think it was cause I was trying to be fairly low carb.

I’ve been eating a lot of black beans! But I find there kinda high in calories for the amount I need to make a major impact on my fibre impact. I recently just bought fibre one bars and have one a day as a afternoon snack! I also just bought raspberry’s and strawberries! Going to buy some fibre powder next week if I can’t…

I would love that!! I’ve lost 21 pounds so far but still have about 41 pounds left. Started in June

Air popped popcorn with a tap of butter. Veggies & dip Berries with light whipped cream Black Forest ham slices & a cheese string Greek yogurt with some fresh pineapple 100 calorie bag of chips. I’m definitely more of a salty snack type of girl! Don’t crave sweet stuff very often and if I have a bad chocolate craving I…

Good point I don’t want to be disappointed either but I think setting a goal will help me stay on track

Maybe I should clarify that technically I should lose another 40ish pounds. At least that’s when I will be at a healthy bmi. I’m currently 196 and need to be around 155. So 24 pounds is about half of what’s left. I figured a pound a week is pretty do able for those and then I can expect the weight to slow down on the last…

Water and coffee

Didn’t say you should be self conscious about them, I just said I am about mine. But thanks for the advice

So for me meat is the most expensive part of the meal so I try to stock up when it’s on sale. I can get a huge box of chicken breasts for 26.00 and it lasts me a really long time. Same with lean ground beef, or porkchops. Also because meat is expensive I try to eat a couple meat free meals a week! I buy whatever fresh…

Totally get I can’t change my bone structure just wanted to see if there’s something I could do to minimize :)

Oh I forgot to add that’s 70 calories per cup of coffee. Which I think is pretty reasonable

So I was the exact same way I love creamy, sweet coffee. & I like three cups a day 🤣 So what I did is I slowly cut back the amount I used I went from 4-5 tablespoons to 2 tablespoons. & I also had one squirt of sugar free vanilla syrup. I find that really works for me.

Ugh this was such a nice post to read to know I’m not alone.. I have recently come to realize how depressed I am and I have a lot on more on my mind.. I seriously used food as a crutch before and would eat all my feelings. Now that I hardly drink and eat within my calories I have to face all these feelings. I am going to…
