  • Kale. Tough and bitter. No amount of dressing, toppings or combination with fruit can mask this nasty green. Not a fan of collards either but I can eat them. Kale, disgusting. It should have stayed as a garnish on your restaurant appetizer or entree plate.

  • I'm obsessed. Every day. But, I focus as much on the exact number as I do a range. I give myself 2-3 pounds of fluctuation. I'm in maintenance mode so it helps when I might have a couple holiday meals or its just a water/bloat gain. When I was losing weight, I got on the scale 3-4 times per week. But, I really focused on…

  • http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html I used this to set my calorie levels as I was on my weight loss journey. I then used it to help with my maintenance mode. I err on the conservative side, picking an activity level one lower than I think I do based on the guideline. But, during maintenance mode I've added…

    in Gaining Weight With a Calorie Deficit Comment by mgtz69 August 2017
  • Here is an article that was a real wake up call for me. I am 5 pounds from my goal weight and like you really scared about gaining it all back and then some. It has happened before, several times. At 48, I feel like this is it, the next time will be more difficult if not impossible.…

  • Not a believer: The only way to lose weight is to eat boring. Ugh. If I ate boring then I'd gain all my weight back and then some. Just eat healthy whole foods, watch your macros, get the right amount of exercise. Go ahead and eat boring to kill some vanity pounds, sure. But to eat the same thing all the time or a bland…
