@ExpressoLove11 Hi! I continue to come back to this thread as well. I am 5'0 and am 113 pounds. I am working towards losing around 5 pounds. Question..when you are trying to cut what macros/calorie counts have you found to be the most helpful?

@cupcake122014 Way to go! What are some of your pointers? Did you follow a specific nutrition/macro plan?

@m8kitwork No, the two apps do not sync. However, if you follow the Transform App food plan and make all of the meals that they suggest , you really wouldn't need to use MFP as the Transform App will track all of the macros/calories.

Thank you so much for the link. What a helpful spreadsheet. I am down to the last 5 pounds and it seems like it is taking FOREVER!! I am 5'1 and started really working out and tracking my eating in March. I started at 124, am currently 115 and have a goal weight of 110. It is difficult being so petite because it seems like…

I use IdealLean. It tastes great and it only has 80 calories, 20 grams of protein, 0 carbs and 0 sugar.There are a a variety of flavors to choose from. Here is the website: https://www.idealfit.com/protein.list

Rice cake with sugar free jelly and natural peanut butter & a low calorie, low sugar protein shake. Apple dipped into Greek yogurt mixed with peanut/almond butter. Tuna over whole wheat crackers such as Triscuits. I usually make sure all of my snacks include a protein to help keep me full. I have two snacks per day and…

I have read in their book that you don't have to count veggies and they are allowed on either low or high carb days. If you eat them on low carb days just make sure they are green fibrous veggies. If I am still hungry, I will add broccoli as it is low cal and relatively low carb that still provides great nutrition.

Interesting, @StaciMarie1974 . I will definitely have to try Halo. I love the arctic zero so I may find new favorite after trying Halo.

Arctic Zero is another great brand. They have a salted caramel that is wonderful. It is only 35 calories per 1/2 cup serving and 150 calories for the entire pint. I have found them at Walmart.

Me too! I am on day 3 and so far things have gone well. The low carb days have me eating way more fat than what I am used to but I am going to trust the program and give it time to see how my body reacts. I will be anxious to weigh next week. I have also been pleased with the recipes they provide. The chicken basil…

I am 5'0 and am currently at 120 lbs. I am really trying to start focusing on toning up, especially in my arms and stomach area. I initially started my weight loss journey in 2012,where at my heaviest I weighed 135 pounds. I was wondering if any of you are counting macros in an effort to help with weight loss? I just…
