trying to lose this quarantine weight!

I've never looked into weight watchers... but that 0 point list looks like a bunch of crap? On the days that I make an effort to eat clean, all my calories would be from baked fish, broccoli, sashimi, egg whites, spinach, mung bean sprouts, scallops etc. 0 points, but eating as much as you can of any of those/not watching…

Happened to me two weeks ago! But I kept thinking about it for 4 days before I finally couldn't stand it. I rarely order pizza, but I always eat at least 50% of a large at one go when I do. It's HARD. I find that when I keep my emotions in check, I'm less likely to even want to eat pizza. I find that if the craving doesn't…

Spaghetti carbonara is really easy to make and really calorie dense. https://youtu.be/4ZH1r2xVSgg I learned to make it from this vid , super easy and restaurant quality. The “diet” serving that I tweaked for myself is already 600 calories, without the pancetta and bacon, and really not enough pasta to satisfy an adult.…

Red meat and rice. Fish and chicken despite having a lot of protein and fat, just isn’t as satisfying as steak, I’ll eat and eat and eat and still be hungry. I also had trouble feeling full eating eggs, 3 boiled eggs and a bowl of oatmeal at breakfast but still hungry.

Feb 1 2018 -Do 1hr cardio -Go to yoga -Stay under calorie goal It's extra hard to stay motivated today because its so so cold

172cm and 133lb, trying to get back to 120-123lb by eating healthier and cleaner, and exercise (I haven't in about 8 years). I would not mind gaining some muscle lbs after I shed the excess fat. I'm a month in and have made very little progress in weight despite eating a lot cleaner and less... I was this weight when I was…

I honestly wish I felt this way too. I’m almost a month with my healthy eating and exercise resolution, and kind of miss feeling slightly sleepy after a big KFC dinner.

I’m naturally average, I’m 172cm and was 135 at my heaviest in university. All my teen years of overeating KFC multiple times a week had caught up to me. I never exercised, but I did walk from one class to another? My friends would say if they ate like me they’d be a lot heavier. I’m also the friend that finishes up other…

5’8 (172cm) 130-133lb BMI 19.8 Dress size 2-4 Pants size 4 (with at least a 30 inch inseam because legs) Tops XS-S (itty bitty titty committee) When I was 123lb I’d wear size 0 dresses and size 2 pants for a tighter fit, and my size 4 pants had good room. I also have a couple pairs of size 25 designer jeans that I want to…

Water or green tea is pretty much all I drink now that I’m not having a glass of wine everyday. I also like ginger and lemon in my water.

Look up some recipes for low calorie soufflés! Soooo delicious.

Omg. So I did some research on the calories of dangmyeon a while back and they’re actually quite high in calories. I buy a Chinese brand of mung bean noodles that say on the package 220cal for 300g. But it seemed way lower than other cellophane products in the same section so people said they’re mislabeled. Cellophane is…

Fatty cuts of beef :'( I’m on 1200cal and can not stop at 200 cal worth of fatty beef so I sub with extra lean ground beef because 200cal of that is more than enough. Ughhhhh I want fatty beef so bad.

Thanks for the tips! Yah I’ve heard a lot of people say different variations of planks are the best if you’re working with just body weight. I could barely hold a high plank for 2 secs without completely collapsing, but I found that the variation of crunches and other floor exercises helped with getting to a point where I…

I’ll keep that in mind but there’s no way I’d even be able to do that now lol. Baby stepppsss.

Not trying to make abs lol, just don’t want to be sooooo weak anymore. I went to yoga for the first time almost 2 months ago and people who were 3x my weight and age could hold their planks easily and I was collapsing all over the place lol. And if my stomach and waist looks a little tighter in the process. Yayyyyy. I have…

Interesting you say you guys used it as a test for core strength... I tried to use it to gauge my progress. I say “try” because I wanted to see IF I could do a full one after 2 weeks of almost-daily core exercise. I can’t lolololol (I can def see progress in a longer plank tho)..they are definitely not part of my routine.…

Yeah I’d be better off asking someone who can see. It’s just my body weight, no weights. I do all my floor exercises on a yoga mat regardless, but it does nothing for my tailbone in a Russian twist because the tailbone protrudes so much when I lean even slightly back. I also get the tailbone chaffing when I try to do a…

Sundubu jjigae can also be very low in calories if you load the stew up with veg and kimchi and use a low calorie stock. This I don’t have a recipe for because I might add more veg BUT the staple ingredients are: Beef/chicken/seafood stock Soft tofu Kimchi Beansprouts Gochujang Red chilli powder Sesame oil (I skip this…

The easiest to prep is bibimbap. Also the most nutritious I can think of. Quick and skinny version —when I plan to have bibimbap one week, I just keep boxes of each prepped ingredient in the fridge, and just assemble in a bowl. White calrose rice 95% Ground beef - marinate with mirin and soy and tad bit of sugar, then stir…

Yeah the serving sizes are ridiculously small too. 1 serving of salmon is only 125g lol which is nothingggggggg even on a 1200cal diet so I eat 2 per meal. I honestly don’t weigh my packaged foods, like frozen salmon I just divide them into equal portions of the serving size, and then by the end of the week I would’ve…

This I did not know. I thought scanning the barcode = quick way of entering nutritional data chart. It’s usually spot on with packaged products because I look through it anyways. But no wonder I’ve had to fix some entries.

Hot yoga doesn’t burn extra calories, so when I weigh myself before and after a hot session and am 2lb lighter, it’s probably water weight from all the sweat, no? So so so much sweat. And then I replenish with water throughout the day and get the 2lb back. I weigh myself everyday first thing in the morning and sometimes…

I was hoping it’d be water weight but usually my water weight = fluctuations day or two, and significantly decreases after a 90 minute hot yoga session. 15ml of low sodium soy sauce is probably a lot less sodium than a lot of people eat haha.

Have definitely considered strength training, right now I’m doing body weight exercises (my yoga studio does sculpt classes) and when I can comfortably work with my own body and light weights I will join a real gym. But the fat shedding still happens in the kitchen, or am I mistaken?

Just more strength, flexibility, and less pain. I can’t even do a full sit-up or push-up right now. Nor can I hold a plank for 15 secs. Maybe if I had a stronger core and less tight hamstrings my back wouldn’t be achy at the ripe old age of 25.

Yeah I just ignore the database entries and scan the barcode on the packages. I honestly think the easiest thing for me to do is keep the exercise deficit because that’s the only thing I’ve changed. Weight loss was slow to start with because I was 133lb at 172cm/5’8 (went down to 130 for the first two weeks of my diet but…

Yes. I log everything even though it makes my diary look real ugly with an ugly red -700. I don’t have any “cheat days” I just have days where the devil calls to me.

I was told to eat more calories since I was eating 1200, so I’ve been eating the exercise calories back. But I’ve had 0 progress since, and even gained 3 pounds back that stayed on all week. I don’t know, maybe my lifestyle is tooo sedentary and I don’t burn as many calories as I think I do exercising. It’s hard to get to…
