It depends what I'm craving. If it's sweets in the middle of the day I will just tell myself "no stop it" and if I still want them as the day goes on I'll fit them into my nighttime snack. I leave at least 200 calories a day for a nighttime snack or a little extra somethin somethin. If it's a certain meal then I'll…

If anybody wants to use the google doc I created they are free to do so :smile: I noticed I didn't have editing on -_- I do now! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18hvgc4-fsZqyTua4b6kTT_L-3zdC31DPMkjFYStoWWw/edit?usp=sharing

I have two full length mirrors in my bedroom and I look different in each one I swear LOL please don't tell people sugar is sinful. Like am I going to hell if I consume it?

Can we please get an "LOL" button?

^ This. You won't lose weight faster doing keto it's just another way to get your calorie deficit. Keto seems like so much trouble for nothing. My indigestion would be unbelievable with that much fat.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Wish I was from the golden horseshoe just to say I'm from the golden horseshoe.

You say this yet you swear digestive health is so simple and everybody should be the exact same. I can't.

Usually when someone is trying to convince others of something factual they'll have something to back it up. It looks like you have nothing.

You say you've been researching. Mind sharing your sources?

Lady. Why do you think you know everything? LOL

Log the chocolate and cake and don't do it two days in a row. Stop looking at photos of your ex that's never a good idea. I had a very weird lump on my breast which turned out to be a cyst and it went away in a couple of months. Very common in young women. You got this. Don't let others determine how you feel, you can…

I only have a BM about twice a week. I never feel pain and it's never uncomfortable once I do go. I had a colonoscopy about 2 months ago and apparently everything is good2go soooo... ETA: by a GASTROENTEROLOGIST by the way lol

Definitely plan meals/nights/days where you can get your cravings out. I planned one for myself tonight :smile: Going to watch dirk gentley and eat some chips and chocolate :smile: Let yourself have the "unhealthy" food. It's good for your sanity lol or at least it's crucial for mine.

Might as well give what your buddy says a go. 1600 will still allow you to lose weight without exercise. Maybe not as much as you are expecting but you never know. You'll lose a lot of water weight at first so give it a month to really know how 1600 cals is treating you. Don't worry about exercise, I also have asthma and…

That is awesome :smile: So happy for you!

What are your stats? If 1200 cals a day is only a 0.4lb a week loss then your maintenance isn't much higher. Like I said, you're going to have to deal with hunger or see a doctor. If you eat 250cals a day more you'll be gaining weight based on what you've given.

I still talk about it 24/7. It's who I am now. I've never been much of a hobbyist so this is a first for me, to actually be so interested in something and successful too! My talking about it got my parents involved, they started counting calories and it's all they can talk about now too lol I'm sure my boyfriend gets kind…

All food is okay as long as at the end of the day you hit your calorie goal. You asking if vegetable soup is okay makes me think you haven't been tracking calories at all. Buy a food scale if you don't have one and eat under your goal. 5lbs in 3 months is around a 0.4lb loss a week, you're going to have to deal with the…

All I do is sit on the couch and have lost 80+lbs.

I think it should be #1.

I honestly hadn't even noticed this. Wow. The little things eh?

82lbs last year

Use the search function and look into every thing you've ever heard about weight loss. The ONLY thing you need to lose weight is a calorie deficit. I'm saying use the search function because there is TONS of helpful information on this site that you won't really get anywhere else (or it's really hard to find on the google…

I eat at maintenance at least a couple days a week to get my cravings out and then I'm usually over it for the rest of the week. I love salty foods, there are a lot of lower calorie alternatives to chips. ETA: I don't keep any snacks in my home. Like nothing. If I want it I will pre-log it and THEN go and buy it. Sometimes…

http://www.foodiefiasco.com/low-calorie-crustless-pumpkin-pie/ I haven't made it yet so I'm not saying it's good lol The whole pie comes out to about 347 calories for me when I use unsweetened almond milk instead of half+half. ETA: Banana Bread - https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Low-Calorie-Banana-Bread-Recipezaar I spent the…

I noticed today that I actually love wearing my hair up now. I used to leave my hair down to cover my double chin and my neck but I don't feel the need to do that anymore.

Thanks so much! I was thinking a martial art. I'm definitely going to look into it :smile:

Same. Feels good.

That sounds like me to a T. I'm trying to be more active with her. I've already done more activities with her in her 6 years of life than my parents ever did with me. We love camping/hiking, I just took her out to shovel with me and we're going to go sledding soon. I still don't enjoy physical activity as much as I might…
