My favorite lunch is to have leftover dinner from the night before. While cleaning up dinner I pre-portion leftovers. Then in the morning I just grab one plus an apple or yogurt or something. Super easy! Lately I'm also into those tofurky fake deli meat slices. Usually I make a sandwich the night before so it's ready to…

Hi everyone, it's already a week into January, can't believe it. I met my goal weight before Christmas, and somehow managed to maintain it during a 2 week break from logging and exercising. (..and eating all the things) Since getting back from vacation I've been sick with a cold, so I'm still not back on track. Goals for…

Today is my last day of vacation/travel day/clean out the rental fridge....so this is a mess: Breakfast: instant oatmeal, corn tortilla chips, champagne Lunch: Leftover Alfredo pasta, baby carrots, cheesecake Snacks: Carmel latte, trail mix, granola bar Dinner: I bought a veggie sandwich. Probably more trail mix based on…

Maybe because I stopped working out? Thanks @rianneonamission for the words of…

Ultimate Goal Weight ( as opposed to a shorter term goal weight), Highest weight, Starting weight, Current weight

Hi everyone, hope you're enjoying the season. I wanted to come check in because I'm struggling. I'm on day 3 of 6 of staying with my mom at home and I feel out of control! I've eaten over maintenance by a significant amount everyday, with Christmas Eve and Christmas still to come. Normally I really wouldn't care at all,…

I am taking a two week break from working…

I add a tablespoon of grape jelly. Makes it nice and sweet for only 50 extra calories.

@avskk that all doesn't sound too bad, especially considering you're sick! Breakfast: A scoop of protein powder with skim milk Lunch: leftover veggie lasagna, baby carrots, plain Greek yogurt with grape jelly Dinner: Not sure yet. Maybe nachos with leftover refried beans. Snacks will definitely include banana bread, as I'm…

@blackcatsdancing I believe it's your time of month

My plan was to hit 145 by Christmas and hang out in maintenance for a while. I'm really happy with my body right now! I've been…

@Moxie42 here ya go. I've made this many times, I like it a lot. https://kalynskitchen.com/african-inspired-crockpot-soup-with/

Breakfast : oatmeal with peanut butter Lunch : a leftover slice of deep dish pizza, plain Greek yogurt with a little grape jelly mixed in Dinner : It might be leftovers of African lentil peanut butter soup. I also have homemade lemon cupcakes in the fridge, and chocolate chip cookies on the counter. And I've also been…

I started on Lexapro a couple months ago, 5 milligrams. Now I'm up to 10 milligrams. I've continued to lose weight while on this medication. P.S. warm thoughts to you, mental illness is the worst. I hope lexapro helps you.

This doesn't sound a lot different than my dumbbell routine. I log it under cardio-weightlifting, for however many minutes.

What is your plan since you've completely blown through your goal?…

Maybe you should increase your calories by around 250 per day. You will technically be at a slower loss rate, but it sounds like your current rate of loss isn't sustainable. I'm losing right now at around .3 pounds per week, it is very very slow, but I don't feel deprived at all.

Both of those strategies could work. I went out to a place yesterday that doesn't list calories, and found what I hope to be a comparable entry from a different restaurant. I try to overestimate in this situation.

Height: 5'7" SW December: 145.7 December Goal: 145.0 Dec 1: 145.7 Dec 8: 145.4 Dec 15: Dec 21: Dec 28: I had a few meals out this week, plus my period arrived, so the scale went up 3 pounds overnight! My trend weight (posted above) shows I'm on track though, and I've even weighed lower than my goal 3 times this week, so…

I would just quick add 600-700 calories. Or 1.5 servings of something similar.

OP, I feel you! I recently became conscious of my low-ish protein consumption. I'm trying now to hit about 90 grams on days that I lift weights (about .8 gram per pound of lean body weight). I can only do it if I drink a protein shake made with milk, Greek yogurt as a snack, and being very conscious of my other meals.

I have an app on my phone for my grocery list. Whenever I run out of a staple it goes on the list. I read the flyer and add produce items that are on sale to my list. I also add additional fruits/vegs that are generally low cost (and in season). I pick out what I want to make, check if I have any of the ingredients…

Some of the things you mentioned are staples for me: Chili, lentil soup, veggie soups. I also like doing tofu stir fried with veggies. Sometime served with rice, and sometimes without for less calories. Frittata is lower calorie than a quiche. I also like loaded baked potatoes for a meal. A baked potato topped with beans,…

Fun sized candy bar, sweetened greek yogurt, cereal with milk, kettle corn (it comes in 100 calorie individual bags)

Feel free to add me! Anxiety and depression here, recently gained some stability through therapy and medication. Best of luck, remember to be kind to yourself.

Hi everyone, I'm happy to be back for December. I will be using my trending weight, as I think it more accurately describes my progress. I'm choosing some slightly random weigh-in days, knowing I have some travel plans at the end of the month! I'll be staying with family for several days around Christmas, and then a week…

I like the Fitness Marshall, he is very entertaining! (It's on YouTube)

Yep, no exercise is needed for weight-loss, only a calorie deficit. Also, is your hubby helping out with the cleaning/cooking? In my experience us women need to insist our male counterparts pitch in their fair share. Just sounds like you might be overwhelmed by those aspects of life. It's something I need to work on too!
