Anyone can feel free to add me! My diary is open to friends and I log everything.

Macros are about two things for most people: helping you control the type of calories you eat and eating enough protein to maintain muscle mass (or enough fat to properly absorb vitamins). Caloric deficit is what will get you weight loss. I also agree you're planning to eat too little; I'm only 175lbs or so, and I eat 1800…

Toast with jam. Fruit. I buy a lot of dessert flavoured greek yogurts for this reason. Or just have a couple cookies, 100-200 calories still lets you have one or two. Just budget for it.

I'm a retail manager for a store that carries a lot of branded jeans (Silver, Mavi, Guess etc) and I always tell customers not to bother trying to pull their own jeans. I figure out what size they wear in one brand and then know what sizes to grab them in everything else. Vanity sizing is real, but sizing in general is…

I look at it this way; what was the environment in your workplace like before? Did people offer you cookies etc before you started losing weight? Probably. Did your friends put out whatever on the table at get-togethers before? Still probably. The only difference is your behaviour; they're adjusting to that. The reality…

Strenuous/new exercise patterns tend to cause you to hold onto water weight to help with muscle recovery. As your body adjusts, you're likely to have a "whoosh" and drop the water weight. Hang in there.

I kind of just went through this, though some of the roles were reversed. I left my SO of nearly 4 years. He had been verbally abusive much of our relationship, but it crossed into physical in the last six months of it and with the support of people around me, I finally got up the courage to leave. And, that's why I have…

Exactly like that. Rationalize, look at the data. And celebrate small victories. 2lbs is a great loss. Weightloss is not a short journey, so you kind of get on board with fluctuations, or you don't succeed. If you feel like the day to day fluctuations aren't something you can mentally cope with, try weighing less…

I'm going to play devils advocate for a minute (Don't hate me). Do you need to lose that last 3-5lbs? Have you achieved the fitness goals that go along with the weight loss ones? Do you feel like your body will be drastically different losing that few lbs? I only ask because the reality is, as you enter maintenance, you're…

It might help if you include an idea of calorie wise what a snack is to you, just so you get ideas that are easily applicable to your own needs. I eat a lot of grapes and pretzels, greek yogurt with some sort of fruit, popcorn, pepperoni/salami sticks, cheese string, apple and dark chocolate with sea salt. I'm big on sweet…

Anyone's welcome to send me a friend request as well! I took about 2 years off MFP and now am back as of the 1st, looking to drop a little less than 20lbs this time (had over 60 to go last time).
