This is what I do when I'm being super strict: First weigh the pot you're going to use recreate cook in and record it. Create a recipe in the recipe builder. Fill it in with the exact gram weight of everything that I am using in the recipe in their raw state. For produce, meats and other non packaged foods, I use the USDA…

F / 32 / 5'9 SW: 228.6 lbs WK 1: 187.3 lbs CW: 185.5 GW: 140 lb I'm down 1.8lbs and my lifts all went up too. Today is my off day before wk 3 of my lifting program starts tomorrow. So, I'm not actively trying to hit 10k step today. I'm instead working on my new blog about weight loss and Cosplay. I wasnt going to do a blog…

Saturdays are my cheat meal days. I get to eat up to maintenance that day and indulge in something I love but wouldn't normally eat during the week. This week, I had 2 big grilled cheese sandwiches for 1000 calories. Last week I had half a bag of chocolate covered pretzels. It's just 1 meal and I still need to eat no more…

I'm doing great. I'm sticking to my goals and getting my workouts in on their scheduled days. Today is Triceps and Back at the gym, so Im very excited for this evening.

Start with a slight deficit of 250 under TDEE. Itll make it easier to stick to and ensure your success. There's really no need to cut 1000 calories at the start.

I'm a snacker too. I just adjusted by eating 4 meals and a post workout meal. I meal prep everything except dinner (I make that fresh most nights) and I pre calculate what I'm eating at the beginning of the day. That way I look forward to my snack while also never truly feeling hungry throughout the day. This helps me keep…

F / 32 / 5'9 SW: 228.6 lbs CW: 187.3 lbs GW: 140 lb For the 100 days challenge I would like to get below 168 which puts me into the healthy weight category for my height :)

I am currently 204lbs (start weight of 228). I am about 8 lbs into the obese category for my height.

[quote/]No *puppy* way - that never happens! /sarcasm, in case it was missed[/quote] Lol just wanted to make sure that people realize that the recommendations don't actually line up with the article's claim. For a woman my age, I am recommended to have 5.5 oz of protein foods (including meat), 2.5 cups veggies, 2 cups…

I quit cold turkey for 30 days and am now able to fit in some sweets every now and again without lapsing into a binge/purge cycle. I had to be in the right mindset and had to want to change my choices before I was finally able to take control. I have done the cold turkey thing before and have always ended up bingeing in…

If you actually look at the recommendations, the diet that is being recommended contains meat, dairy, shellfish and other animal products. This is a case of a click bait article that is misrepresenting the facts.

My scale batteries read as full as per my Withings app. But I did recently cut sodium. We were eating out a lot before and we have started cooking at home for almost all of our meals within the last couple weeks. My cycle is irregular and I can go up to 6 months without a period. I recently had a period about 3 weeks ago…

I regularly drink enough water to keep my urine pale yellow or clear. I do this naturally without my having to force it down. I doubt that I'm dehydrated. I did recently move to another, more humid state but we've been here for 2 weeks now. My scale hasn't moved since the day we moved in and I wake up at the same time each…

I started WW a couple months ago and have since quit. The number of points I started out with translated to barely 1000 calories (I refuse to eat low fat) and I was punished with inflated point values for eating out. I am finding mfp to be a much more sustainable system since it actually allows me to eat what I want within…

I take it to try to preserve my cartilage in my knee (suffered severe damage from running on a buckled meniscus for years, think 70s shag carpet). I find that my knee aches less when taking the collagen peptides but I'm not sure if I am experiencing real benefits from the peptides or if I'm experiencing a placebo effect.…
