I put constant work into actively curbing cravings and really considering if I'm hungry before I eat. This has lead to a huge boost in energy for me, a new appreciation for my job, loved ones, myself, and it has lead to an easier time in saying no to 'rewarding' myself with food. Donuts in the office? Don't need it. Pizza…

Oh, and if gum isn't your thing, try something that will satisfy the need without adding on calories. For example, if I really get a naw at 2am, I'll grab an apple or an orange, and if I don't feel like eating that, I don't grab anything at all. If you wont eat something good for you, you're not that hungry -- identify…

Yeah! So on the weekends I take late night motorcycle rides, will stay out at bars too late, young irresponsible thing *insert here,* I probably do it. What I do to curb late-night cravings is keep different flavors of gum with me, for some reason I really crave sweet stuff the later it gets. If you want something salty…

If anyone still needs a buddy on here I'd be more than happy to :smiley:

Hey guys, my name is Sarah, I'm off and on on the app but this is what I use to track my nutrition when I go astray. I've made a long journey from 420lbs but still have a ways to go!

MY ROUND 1!(: 7-12 / 282.4 / feeling bloated, its THAT time of the month :cry: also, created this yesterday & forgot to post xD 7-13 / 280.5 / feeling a little better... Ate a late-night early morning taco that has me stressed out... I counted it as breakfast 7/14 tho, lolxD Idk what to consider itxD 7-14 / 282.4 /…

Haha, thats a really good way to look at it (: I'm going to work and suffering but then I'm just going home and laying down until I have to take the kids to super or cook for them:c which ik it a terrible way to live, but its just so painful to do literally anything... Ibuprofen helps for :30 minutes or so and then its…

I've never been and I'm scared to go xD my cycles are pretty irregular as well, but when they come, I vomit and I feel like my intestines are in a knife fight for a few days :c

Wow, thats awesome! I think I'll stick to a walk, some yoga and some core tonight and then I'll try to go hard tomorrow, I'td be awesome if the gym would make the pain subside in general, really cool, thanks a lot!(:

Hmm, maybe I'll do come sit-ups and planks and some at-home things to start out with... Girl, I feel the same way about the salt and eating what you like but still being conscious thing xD and huh, last parts interesting, I usually don't eat any of my workout calories back so I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the…

Well, I think all things considered I'll just go later in the week... Might feel a little less on edge tomorrow... Maybe I'll just take the kids and the doge on a walk... Yoga sounds relaxing though... Kids would probably pick fun at me xD

I'd ask the supervisor or trainer at your local gym for a machine tour if you dont know what the various machines do or what would be best, and maybe ask them for their pro opinion, but the best exercises for what you want I can think of are seated military presses, assisted/unassisted pull-ups, bench pressing, triceps and…

I never do and I do not track them on here because the higher deficit I can achieve for a day the more weight I'll ultimately lose. However, I do keep it in mind and give myself permission to have a treat every now and again when I know I've done this for a while. If you feel weak, tired, or hungry, you can always have an…

Macros are recommended, but not strict to lose weight. Tracking calories will prove more effective when trying to achieve your goal... As long as you end in a daily deficit of calories for a day, and pack in the various nutrients your body requires, macros don't really matter much unless you're gluten intolerant or…

Hello! Just found this thread... Anyone willing to mentor me?? SW: 309.9lbs CW: 280.5lbs GW: 155.0lbs HEIGHT: 5'9 (ish xD) Goal: Find great food I can eat for my health and not break the bank. I also am not very active day-to-day but would like to be more active, find a workout routine, and use my Anytime Fitness…

Ahhh, well you followed up on the last response being serious so I thought it was safe to assume you meant what you were saying. Ususally those are followed up by faces or notes or, you know, anything. But cool, glad sarcasm is how you contribute to people actually trying to find advise and help. Have a great weekend!(:

Look muchacho, Youre going to be able to find 'bad' in all foods: salads, chicken, pizza, ice cream, you name it. Its youre attitude toward food, defining its contents as 'bad' and 'scary' thatS really scarry. Food is what we need to survive, dying prematurely from deprivation because you thought these things about food is…

And I think that's a fabulous way to, the fat is actually the reason I dont eat peanut butter ever Dx too had to balance that fat content with my normal daily diet...:c

Okay, humor me guys. Clarification on behalf of all: it is A source of protein; not necessarily THE BEST source of protein. Its a plus side to eating a tasty food you like or wouldnt traditionally allow yourself. If you want more protein to show up in your macros per day it can be an enjoyable or sneaky way to obtain it…

Im new, I've worked out for a long time with sports and regular gym visits previously, but never to lose weight. NOW I'm trying to lose weight... I think its safe to assume that, although I dont remember it being that excessive, my diet was garbage. It is my big big goal but I'm making goals in the other aspects of my life…

Very, very interesting... thats the one I usually stress the most over, next to fat and sugar xD I'll keep that in mind(:

Boy you are just awesome xD on top of it(: I've been using almond products and low fat cheeses, along with low fat pretty much all products, and even cut out my beloved peanut butter because I thought it had too much:c I dont use milk but for cereal really, so I'll switch to 2% and get my peanut butter back and I'll see…

Also yeah, I figured, I just like to get as close as possible and with trying to add things to my diet I figured might as well tailor them as closely as possible to what my macros are for each day!(: I just dont want to go over my allotted fat, sodium, sugar, I am very conscious of that.. But like I said, I need to try and…

Not my kids, correct! xD 4 of a parent that goes to my church xD

Got a scale yesterday(: and I doubted the goal because It was saying 1,640 calories for a person who sits in an office all day doing nothing.. and the more and more I cut down to try and lose weight, the more I noticed I didnt need all of the food I was consuming: I felt fine without it and now if just feels normal not to…
