  • Chips- tortilla chips or potato. The calories added up quick and they have very little staying power. As far as indulgences go I'd much rather work in a cookie or some ice cream then a bowl of tortilla chips. At the same time I've added back cereal, especially cheerios! They're surprisingly filling and cashew milk makes it…
  • I'm the worlds pickiest eater so I skip out on mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing (my family doesn't make mashed potatoes or stuffing anyway). I only skip these cause I can't stand the taste- everything else is fair game and I don't believe in restriction or counting calories on Thanksgiving:)
  • Today's going surprisingly well- I bought one milky way bar (larger) so I feel satisfied, then had a healthy chicken and roasted vegetable dinner before taking my brother out trick-or-treating. We walked for nearly 1.5 hours so I had a dark chocolate mini milky way. Now I'm just drinking some water. For the next couple…
  • Lots of physical activity and some treats. Dinner is chili and I get one Milky Way bar as a treat. I had lots of cookies Sunday so I can't go all out today:)
  • These are mainly snacks I grab when I have a sweet tooth: 1. Yasso bars- there's just about a million flavors of these and there all 80-100 calories 2. Halo-top or Enlightened- low calorie, lower sugar, high protein icecream. Very similar to Yasso bars and all around 200-300 for the whole pint. 3. Gum- I'm sorry this is…
  • Thanks for all the responses and links:) I'm very committed to improving my health and plan to slowly up calories. This week was quite the adjustment since I added back nearly 400 calories, but my body has appeared to adjust well to this amount. By the end of this week I'll add back another 50-100 and give proper time for…
  • Thank you, I'll try to eat at maintance this week. I've already felt physical improvements upping my calories, but I will continue to.
  • I'll aim for around 1100-1200 a day and slowly bring it back up. Most calculators online put me at 1350 and I was able to maintain 130 before at that calorie count with no excersise.
  • Even with my height? :( I'll try to add back some more excersize calories then. I'm starting to adjust to the higher calorie so I'll wait a couple more days, then add back some more.
  • So true! It's easy to forget those little bits of chocolate and sugar add up.
  • I would recommend a mix of each, I strength train 3-4 times a week but throw some cardio on top. Usually 10-15 minutes on the treadmill every day and that makes a positive difference. Also get walks when you can, after dinner walks are a great way to digest food and relax. Hope this helps, good luck!
