I did keto for a bit and it really helped me to learn how to feel full. Some days I ate less than my calories and could not eat another bite -partly sick of cheese and meat, partly I wasn't hungry at all. that rarely happened when I was just counting only calories. I learned a lot about how fat and protein made me feel…

eat back half the calories and see how you feel. If you aren't hungry after eating back half then you probably don;t need anymore. I think the exercise estimate tends to be on the high side (for me anyways) so eating back some is safe... but I'd be careful about eating them allllll back.

I'm about 5'7 and want to lose 30 lbs by June (45lbs would be great too, I could stand to lose about 60.) I need help staying accountable and not falling off the good habits wagon.

sometimes I eat the freeze dried fruits intended for babies. They're kind of expensive but they have a fun texture.

turkey pepperoni sticks (around 60 cals) and a cheese snack (90 cals) and a big ol glass of water have been my go to after work snack lately. When I want a dessert type snack I've been reaching for almonds and drark chocolate chips (1oz of each together is about 240 cals) which fill me up better than a chocolate bar or ice…

I suggest you check the contract you signed, but talk to him first. If you aren't comfortable with confrontation write an e-mail and explain that you are unhappy with recent cancellations because it's not giving you the results you're looking for. Tell him clearly what your expectations are and that if they aren't met…

usually about 5-7 days of eating at a deficit for me, depending on how much I overate and how much of it was sodium

If it hurts so much it feels like a leg breaking you need to figure out why. Check that the shoes you are wearing are giving you the proper support (this is often the culprit for sore shins). Check your form, that you aren't hunching over, tensing your shoulders or trying to take extra long strides. Try to maintain good…

my sister does this to me all the time! the other night she was on her way out of the apartment and said 'I'm debating whether to ask you if you want anything from McDonald's" (which is the same thing as asking!) I yelled 'DON'T ASK ME I DON'T HAVE ANY WILL POWER" I did it in a joking way and we both laughed but she hasn't…

almost everything surprised me when I got a food scale! I decided that caramel popcorn (or any candy coated popcorn) was just not worth it! I was also shocked by how many calories are in the dessert type yogurts and how much of those calories are just sugar

I think some people who know they should be eating healthier take it as judgement when you make the right choices. But's that's in their own heads, and not something you can control anyways. I'm an all or nothing type person as well, and cutting things out is easier than moderation for me for now. I'm doing Keto, and boy…

I hate gym workouts, so I don't really ever go, even when I have a membership. I love to dance, so I signed up for some expensive-ish dance classes. I don't like to miss them because I enjoy them, and because I spent so much damn money on them I better go! I can't stand doing 20 squats in a row, I get bored, but ask me to…

"I am freaking out because I crave food all day" if you're craving foods all day right now, it's probably not going to get better until you address where these cravings are coming from. Is it because you're bored? Is eating an emotional reaction? Is snacking all day a habit that you need to break? Are you getting enough…

I like to make spreadsheets to see my progress I have a spreadsheet for weight, for calories in/out, and for fitness (run times, weights lifted etc). I also use the blog function here to keep me in check - I try to write once a week, and that makes me reflect on how I've been doing lately and usually motivates me to keep…

depending on your size, 1250 might be too low. Aside from that, are you drinking enough water? I second what others have said about protein - I find a hard boiled egg, a piece of cheese, or a turkey pepperoni stick usually help me not feel so snacky. I also like chia seeds in yogurt with berries.

I track my weight whenever I weigh myself, so I can see my progress. I don't amend my calories as I lose weight because I've only lost like 10 lbs so far which wouldn't make much of a difference on my calorie intake. If you hit a plateau or are feeling starving all the time, then I would say you should adjust your calorie…

I've been doing keto for a few weeks now, and I try to track everything I eat. This way I'm tracking my macros and total calories. If I'm below my calories and my % of protein or carbs are too high, then I eat a fat bomb or two, depending on how many calories I have left to eat. I put more importance on eating to my…

I saw myself in a dance costume and was really disappointed in how I looked (the costume is hideous no matter what but I hated my spare tire.) I've lost 10lbs since that costume. My immediate goal is to look good for a wedding though.

aside from all the other suggestions, have you tried electrolytes drinks or pickle juice? In the summer, for me, water alone doesn't cut it and I get headaches if I don't have pickle juice or a gatorade about once a week.

I'm getting ready to start keto (eating all my fruits and high carb veggies) on July 2. I've been looking for an easy meal plan if anyone knows of some free ones.

I've been gaining and losing the same 10lbs for months because I keep doing this!

that's how I wear mine and it reads about as well as my sister (who wears hers on the top of arm). If I'm exercising sometimes it doesn't read my heart rate very well, but my sister has the same issue so I don't think it's location specific.

Original starting weight -225 ish May starting weight - 217.8 May goal -210ish Ultimate goal - 165 1st -217.8 8th - 15th - 22nd - 29th - Total loss for May -

I've lost a chihuahua and I've got an elephants penis to go hahahah! this is strangely motivating

I bought a knock-off brand one that fits into a door frame because I couldn't hang the kit at my old apartment. I used it a lot in my old space, but now I don't have the right set up/ space for it. Make sure you have enough room wherever you install it to actually be able to do all the moved you want.

I sew a lot, and I can tell you from experience that it's not really worth it. If it's an expensive dress or suit you want/need for a special occasion then the price may be worth it, but otherwise it just takes too much time/ costs too much. You can't take in most clothes more than a few sizes, so if you are losing a lot…

I'm trying the substitution thing out, and it's working ok so far. At night is when I usually have cravings, and, if I want a sweet treat, I'll have a juice box, or a berry flavoured tea, or a piece or fruit or a small portion of yogurt. If that doesn't satisfy my craving then I either brush my teeth and go to bed, or just…

When I was in high school I was very strict about my sleep schedule, I made sure I got 8-9 hours every single night. I was depressed, moody, overweight and stressed. My best friend would stay up all night online and then sleep for like 14 hours the next day and had the craziest sleep schedule of anyone I've ever met. Yet,…

You may find your stomach sensitive to milk products if you cut them out completely. I was living with roommates that couldn't have any mild products at all, so I got used to soy and almond milk products. When I moved away and started using milk products again my stomach would get very upset, but I could finally eat real…

I haven't checked-in in a while... oops SW:220ish 10/25/18: 218.2 11/20/18: 217.4 12/04/18: 219.2 12/10/18: 213.8 GW: 165 Challenge Goal Weight: 205 I don't think I will make my goal of 205, but I'm going to keep trying -anything under 210 would be a big win for me anyways! The habits i need to work on for this week are 1.…
