Look on Pinterest at Optavia Lean and Green meals. It’s a weight loss program (I didn’t use it but know people that did). The lean and green meal is the one meal a day participants cook instead of eating the optavia snacks (so you can make the meals without buying anything from the program). The lean and green meals are…

Why do you have to take the creamer out of your coffee? If you measure it I would think it wouldn’t be a calorie bomb or hard to work into your calories. The only thing I can think is that it’s not considered fasting to have it in your coffee? In which case my advice to you is enjoy your coffee and creamer and pretend it…

No you shouldn’t increase your activity level, but you could increase your caloric intake so you’re weight loss slows down to 0.5 a week. It depends if you want to reach your goal weight sooner, or be able to eat more calories a day. If you want to lean out still I think upping your calories and adding strength training if…

I don’t think it’s ever too late to get healthy! Whether you will have long term consequences (such as type 2 diabetes just as 1 example) is impossible for us to say because we don’t know your medical history. BUT the benefits of getting healthy are always worth the work. I’m 30 and recently lost 42 pounds so I’m below my…

I love breakfast and I tend to switch it up! Current favorites are kodiak pancakes with Walden sugar free syrup, oatmeal, English muffin with mashed avocado and an egg. To clarify these are 3 different breakfasts, not all in one morning haha. I always have a piece of fruit and coffee with breakfast. Some of my other go-tos…

Congrats! I really like the Beachbody workouts. There’s a decent amount of options that need little to no equipment. (I’m not a coach I just genuinely like the program). I used it sporadically for about 8 months. Then when Covid shut everything down I started I started using it instead of going to the gym. Just a…

I did weight watchers years ago and lost 65 pounds. I didn’t regain any weight until I got pregnant. I decided to try mfp since it’s free and i honestly find it much easier than calculating and tracking points

I started on my knees and then worked on the negatives like Yirara said. A trainer at the gym gave me this advice. I’m slowly working my way up to more on my toes, but I still switch to the negatives or my knees if I need to in order to finish a set. My arms have always been my weakest muscles so it’s slow progress but I’m…

I have a coworker that lost her 30 pounds of baby weight on it and has kept it off for about a year now. She seemed to really like the program. She said the transition phase is what really makes the difference and helped her keep the weight off.

I find just making myself busy with other things (not just my hands) helps the urge go away. Sometimes that means cleaning my house. Sometimes I take my one year old outside to play. Sometimes we go for a walk. Getting out of the house helps me a lot. I have a few shops nearby so I’ve even told myself if I really want…

My husband was unsupportive the first time I lost a bunch of weight (65 pounds and we were dating but living together). I tried my best to ignore him but it was hard for sure. Eventually he told me it was because a previous girlfriend had lost a bunch of weight to get attention from other guys and eventually they broke up…

I am at the bottom of my range I’d like to be at. I’m going to give myself a 5 pound range and see how that goes. I may try jumping up to my maintenance calories for a week or 2 and see how I do. I don’t know how quickly the weight would stabilize if I do gain a little

Me! I’m currently at 155 days streak i think.

I bought a Beachbody membership because you don’t need equipment for some of the workouts. I’m doing transform 20 now. It’s only 20 minutes a day. A step is recommended but not necessary. I definitely recommend it if you have a small space in your family room or bedroom (even if you have to move a couch out of the way).…

Can you try logging your food the night before? Once you’ve made your preloaded dinner, get as far away from the kitchen as possible. If that means going for a walk/drive or locking yourself in your bedroom to watch a show and get past the cravings give it a try. You got this!

I’m 2.4 pounds from my goal weight. I’d like to see it before Labor Day. I’m great at losing weight, maintaining is where I struggle. So I’d like to still be in my maintenance range (150-155) by Labor Day. I’m currently right in the middle of it, but still aiming for my goal weight. Starting weight:191.6 Current…

Updated weight of 292? Did you mean 192?

What about just chewing a piece of gum? Or having some 0 cal beverage? I have times when I acknowledge I’m not hungry I just want a taste in my mouth-a bottle of water with mio or a piece of gum works 99% of the time for me!

I did weight watchers years ago. I switched when they changed the program because I stopped losing. MFP is so much simpler in my opinion, and it’s free! I don’t know much about the new WW program so I can’t speak to its success.

I finished barre blend and then went on vacation for 10 days. Today I did Transform 20. It was rough after 10 days of no workouts but I liked how quick it was.

My friend took a candid photo of me when we were walking on a trail. It’s the first time in a long time i didn’t feel embarrassed about myself in the picture. It was a great feeling to look at a picture I didn’t take and think I looked ok!

I’m always starving the 2 days before my period. I eat like a linebacker those days, but I try to eat more low calorie high volume foods and that seems to help me stay closer to my calorie goal for the day. I also try to stay out of the house as much as possible. If I’m in my backyard I won’t snack as much as when I’m in…

I’m 3 pounds away from losing 20% of my starting weight. 1 pound away from my next goal weight and 6 pounds to maintenance. So many mini goals right now!

I don’t see any pics?

Me! I’m on week 7 of barre blend but haven’t decided what i want to do next. My issue is I don’t have free weights at home but I’d love to do an intense body weight workout, just haven’t found it yet

I’m on week 7 of Barre Blend. Today was core blend. Any recommendations what to do next if I don’t have any weights heavier than 3 pounds? I’m hoping for a program that can just use body weight

Is there a healthier option you can have instead? I find going for a walk outside usually helps me. When I have a craving I’m struggling to resist I try to just shag out of the house so I’m not near food

Half a pound to pre-pregnancy weight and then only 10 pounds to wedding weight!

So i had the same problem and this is the advice I got from a trainer. You can do your 2-3 on your feet and then start doing modified ones where you’re on your feet on the negative (on the way down) and then drop to your knees on the way up. It’s slightly more work than your knees but still not full pushups, but should…

Are you drinking enough water? Can you focus on low calorie high volume foods (fish, veggies, plain popcorn) for maybe lunch or dinner so you can eat more and stay within your calorie goal?
