Switch now. The difference of 0.5 lbs a week is only 250 calories. Switch. Keep tracking calories and weight. If trend goes above what you like you know how and can start cutting again. Congratulations!!!!woohooo happy dance

I think that when songwriters or authors write not from their own experiences and knowledge but from some theoretical other groups experience it almost always comes of offensive and patronizing. Please write your songs from your own experiences . Yes I struggle with my weight I would be annoid by a song that tries to…

I wouldn't. I don't like or trust any app that uses tone in the title as tone is not a real thing. It is a word used by fake people to try and make women spend more money on fitness. Tone is bunk. Tone is also sexist.

Well what vegetables do you like? In what preparations? One easy way to explore and expand your repertoire is similar tastes or similar preparations.

Beet greens follow up question: Does it matter what varietie of beet ie do you eat the leaves of Chioggia, bulls blood, ruby queen, and Detroit golden all equally? (Aka the ones i grow usually)

Not sure if you have ever tried salt in your coffee but a pinch sprinkled right on the grounds when brewing makes so so coffee grounds taste like they are much better quality beans . Also most starches take a large amount of salt before tasting salty.

You guys eat beet greens? Humm how ? I grow beets in my garden 6 months of the year but have always just composted the leaves. Could you tell me what you do with beet greens (fyi i am assuming we are talking about the leaves associated with the beet roots that you roast or pickle)

Spiced roasted chickpeas are so delicious and snacks great

You can not out exercise a fork. Ie weight is 95% diet. Clearly you are eating more than burning

Strawberries well all berries Melon Granola

Compost bin. It all goes to help my garden which provides more vegetables.

You are you shaped and that is a lovely shape indeed. There is no spot reducing if anything I swear the spot you are most self conscious about will be the last place you lose weight. Track calories, eat less then burn, exercise for strength and fun. But believe you are a perfect shape for you to be and you don't want to be…

Fyi thai basil is very very easy to grow if you love pho and are considering your summer garden.

That non answer is a red flag not to trust that trainer.

Weight is about calories in vs calories out. Metabolic differences are minimal Fast times work for some people because they eat less calories during their eating times. It fails for others because post fast they want to eat all the things Small meals work for some people because they never get ravenous and it moderates…

Well 90% of weight loss is food and only 10% is exercise. So focus on the 90% Eating less shouldn't actually require any more time. Yes learning how to weigh and measure takes a bit extra time for the first say two weeks but bevomes easier fast. Also you can repeat meals and habits. I know growing up my folks repeated the…

What number does mfp give you when you put in your stats and then set it for 1 lb a week. You should eat that many calories and half your excercise calories back. Less then 1200 is a horrible idea. Particularly as you are only 18 and likely still growing a little bit. Trainers are not nutritionists. They will often give…

This actually tells you quite a bit more about them then it does about you. Truly if someone has an issue with you not drinking then it kinda says they have issues with alcohol and that they are not really being a good friend. I would think twice about anyone who once they know and understand continues to push alcohol on…

This doesn't sound healthy. 20 lbs in 14 weeks is 1.4 lbs a week. That is well above what is generally recommended of 0.5% to 1% a week. You are near your goal weight loss you will do a lot better off aiming for a sustained lifestyle change and 0.5 lbs a week ie 137lbs on birthday. Better to do long term sustainable…

Talk to your doctor One thing that could be at issue is iron levels if my iron drops i get cold constantly.

Use the motivation to set yourself up with good habits. Those good habits will serve you well when fickle motivation wanes

Deep breath. Drink a glass of water. Relax we all have days over. The key thing is to pick yourself up and keep going. Nobody expects you to never again have a day over calories but you can't let it slide into day 2 3 4 ect. So drink an extra glass of water and be kind to yourself

You can do this but You are the only one who can. Your husband ypur kids your friends they can't do it and if they support you or not can not change the outcome. You are the one who decides if you will do this or not.

Op you joined a calorie tracking app/website in December 2019. It is February 2020. Best case you have tried it for 3 months. If you do have ED talk to your doctor If not , intuitively eating has failed if you weigh more then you like so you need to create deficit. The easiest way and the way this site promotes is paying…

Sadly I have limited motivation and it is fleeting. I have to instead lean on habits and rules. For me the rules are 1. Log everything 2. Weigh all solids 3. Measure all caloric liquids 4. Use a weight trending app like libra so i see trendlines weigh daily except during TOM 5. Remember it took me decades to gain it it can…

Relax. You have been losing an average of around 10 lbs a month that is huge. 1 week is not a stall. Some things that could be at play 1. Weight loss is not linear 2. Time of month 3. If you have a bit pf a cold or something that can cause inflammation 4. A bit extra salt or sugar can cause wayer retention 5. A change in…

I log immediately before I eat something. It helps me stop and ask myself "am I actually hungry and is this actually what i want to eat"

Galic chive is lovely in a pesto Snipped over roasted veg To spice up a salad Or as part of a green herb chutney

I generally find the pho near me overly salty. But i love the idea of pho and often make basically the same thing at home with a broth base and then mix in meats and sprouts and large handful of herbs and I love the lime and hot sauces. Mmmmm
