This thread was really helpful. Two months ago I switched jobs and would now consider myself more "lightly active" than "sedentary." I had started to get way more exercise calories than before (Fitbit synced) and couldn't figure out why...but now I know!

I'm a fan of string cheese, Think Thin bar, edamame...

I am up at 4:30a M-Friday. For me, once I realized that I would never feel like getting up that early, I overcame the mental side of it. Even when I am in bed by 8-8:30pm, trust that when that alarm goes off, I'm like damn that sucks. BUT as soon as the alarm goes off, my legs are swinging to get my feet on the ground. I…

Just started SL on Sunday, haven't the flexibility yet to squat deep enough so all week I was walking like Frankenstein : s 2018 Goals: 1. keep losing an avg. of 1 pound per week 2. Continue to work on SL and eventually, progress to another program 3. Big time goal would be competing in a Strongwoman competition, but that…

bahahaha :D . I was trying to post a "You got this!" gif, but clearly I don't, oh well. Good luck on your journey Mindy!

Also discriminating between hunger and cravings is a good skill to build...

I have a Bluetooth scale and weigh myself a couple of times a week at the same time and manner of dress soon after waking. The device saves all my weigh-ins but I only upload after I’ve lost at least a pound. The last number I see is the lowest number ( :# ), AND I get the benefit of seeing the trends over time on the app.

Going to start StrongLifts

I’m clearly missing out on some holiday treats :'(

I was just gifted the otium bluetooth headphones. They have the earhooks and multiple tips. I use the smaller tips and they fit snug and cancel out a lot of noise (including the person next to me on the arc trainer who *insists* on having a cell phone conversation). They have nice bass and don't fall out!

I’m less hungry on days I work out.

13 grams of sugar and 2 tbsp of soy creamer

On your desktop diary, you can choose "Copy from date" or "copy from yesterday." You have to add each meal, but not each individual item.

I disconnected the two apps as recommended, then patience took care of the rest. It will be awhile before everyone is back in sync, and even then I anticipate disruptions...

“Veganomicon” and “Schwarzbein Principle Vegetarian Cookbook” are my go-to books but mostly recipes off the interwebs.

guess not :/

@anubis609 Thanks, I think I will as you suggest do first few days logging on maintenance and then not. I'd like to get a feel for what those calories look like. While I don't view logging as a chore, more as a tool, whenever I get to maintenance I'd like to not rely on logging as much. Time will tell I reckon. Thanks…

Because it’s an intentional diet break, eating at maintence you need to log to ensure this is happening. Otherwise you could go too far under/over? I guess I was thinking that not logging helps in the psychological break of living in a calorie deficit, which I thought were included in the benefits of a “diet break”...

Of course, you probably don't want to look like that again, but imo it's not his place to tell you that.

I've been trying to keep an eye on this thread but it has been very active...I have my first diet break coming up next week (!) Is it recommended to not log during this period of time?

Relax @TavistockToad it wasn't until after your reply to my reply is when I realized what clarification you were looking for...

@MsHarryWinston Which ones did you buy?

yup i picked up on that :)

@TavistockToad OP:How do you get rid of your cravings? Whether it’s physical or emotional. Last night and waking up this morning, I was craving giving-in to sweet cravings. I had a bottle of water instead and repeated the quote: “This too shall pass”. I need your help in this department. Thanks community!

Wicket sweet tooth here, Halloween was rough! But after abstaining for a bit my cravings go away, and I now have a bowl of candy sitting in front of me in the office. I can have one because it fits my calorie goals, but I know that for me if I have one, I'll want many more. Do I eat the one, and risk eating 5...or take a…

@jesssantos32 Crack aside, do a search in MFP for preworkout, there are several.
