I lost 80 and the only reason I didn't lose more was I had to have hip replacement surgery.

The most accurate is after but I found that to a bit of a pain sometimes so I read that meat tends to be 25 % less after cooking. So I will log a 3 ounce portion of cooked chicken as 4 ounces.

Eggs every day, every way. A light multigrain english muffin. Bacon or turkey sausage

Yep

Real food fills me up. Protein at every meal. I need fiber as well so I include beans or a multigrains.

up your protein intake and add 100 calories

Try exercise

Why do you want to eat something you don't like?

I was not motivated either but I was determined to get the weight off so I just started walking every day. Then I signed up for a month of Zumba classes. The teacher said the first one is free to see if you like it. I said it doesn't matter if I like it I need to do it for a month and make it a habit. Habits are going to…

I am 7.5 weeks post op. I walked 3-4 miles a day prior to surgery. I am now up to 1-1.5 miles a day and I do modified Zumba 2 times a week. I lost 60 pounds in 6 months prior to surgery and have lost another 10 since. Best of luck

Popcorn is low calorie. You can air pop it and spray some I can't believe its not butter spray or get some 100 calorie microwave bags

Walk...as much as you can, as often as you can, every where you can

you answered your own question

A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Some may be more healthy for your body but they are still a calorie and burn the same.

One diet soda a day is fine. Regular soda has calories with no nutritive value. The studies that showed diet soda to be bad were way too small and not conclusive and honestly can't back up if it is bad for you or not. Check out the Sept. 2017 issue of webmd magazine for a great article about the studies done on diet soda.…

The studies being discussed are small studies on mice and are basically insignificant. You can check out the Sept. 2017 article from WebMD magazine online for free. When I chose to cut back on diet soda I drank iced tea. The biggest favor you could do for her if she wants to lose weight is show her how to use my fitness…

Ounces and grams will be more accurate

Spaghetti squash instead of pasta. Any sauce you like.

Spaghetti squash with sauce and pepperoni. Eat lunch and dinner foods. Personally I love eggs every day.

Getting in the 180's

Coffee, water, 2 scrambled eggs, 3 slices center cut bacon, lite multigrain muffin. 313 calories.

I don't eat exercise calories back unless I have a week-end social event. Otherwise I stick to my original 1200 calorie goal.

Middle school at-risk teacher. Summer is better because no one is bringing donuts and home made baked goods to my house and my stress is zero.

I plan to log for life.

If you really want to know your macros just check before you add your exercise.

I wouldn't worry about it unless you start retaining too much water

If it is important to you then you will stop making excuses.
