Ugh, yes, I'm a box buyer :(. I'd like to lie and say because you can't see the amount left inside the box, you can't tell if you've had too much - but I definitely am aware when I over drink lol. That's a really great idea though! I plan to not drink at all for a few weeks, but I think I will move to buying bottles once I…

My go to is Jackson Triggs, guess I'll be putting that box of goodness back in the cellar for awhile. Thanks for the advice :)

I'm aware of the extra calories from the seeds so I have been including that in my logging for sure :). I make sure with the extra calories, I'm still at a reasonable caloric amount for breakfast. And as for wine, I will often have 5 glasses of wine :( Shamed to admit it but I've known for awhile I need to cut back. I did…

I really did not think 2 days could destroy so much! Thank you for putting this reality into perspective for me haha. Time to face the facts for me :). Sounds like I'm in the same boat you were once in - congrats on your own weight loss by the way! I'm definetly looking into a food scale and will move to weighing food…

Awesome advice - thank you! I was more than shocked when I finally forced myself to put in how many glasses of wine I would drink to see the calories - I was less than happy to see that number, lol. I've started searching for a food scale already - thank you kindly :)

Maybe its the rice - certainly from the wine, that's for sure. The meal I provided was just an example - I eat meat on weekends and sometimes will make chicken during the week. I also eat beans and sometimes tofu. But you're right, I don't eat them as often as I probably should. I eat strawberries in the morning and put…

I really thought I was, to be honest. I use measurements to log my food but you are probably totally right, there is room for improvement and accuracy. Thanks for taking the time to send advice my way :)

Thanks so much, like others who have suggested this, it is excellent advice. I thought I was doing a good job of logging everything but there is always a great chance for improvement. Thank you! :)

I'm really more so interested in losing fat and toning up - the number is more ingrained in my mind since it was the last time I felt fit and healthy. But yeah, feeling fit is more important to me than the number. I am 25 - by school, I mean an extremely intensive 9 weeks coding bootcamp. That is where I stopped taking…

I am not a healthy weight in the slightest, actually. 147lbs is not an unhealthy weight in general - BUT, I've gotten to that weight by drinking wine, eating fast food, and not working out enough. If I had gotten to this weight by eating right and exercising, you would be correct in saying that. My goal weight is to get…

Sorry - I didn't realize I forgot to list breakfast. I actually eat breakfast every day - oatmeal with 1/2 cup strawberries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, and one hard boiled egg. As for the calorie intake of wine on weekends, you're absolutely right. I guess I was blindly hoping weekends wouldn't affect the week…

I do track my calories most of the time! For the better part of January, I was eating a ton of healthy food, but vegetables that didn't have a lot of calories so although I was filling up at every meal, I was only eating a calorie amount of around 900-1000 calories a day. I understand that my body probably went into…
