Olive oil and whatever pre-mixed seasoning sounds good. I sometimes add pickles, celery, avocado. I don’t eat it on bread these days

I buy large batches of chicken too. I do find it easier to weigh them prior to putting them in the freezer. I normally just cut two chicken breasts in half, write the weight on the bag and then season them up. This is easier for me to do on the weekend when I have more time than weighing as much stuff throughout the week.…

@Cassandraw3 and @mari_moulin what kind of diets do you follow?

I am 34 years old and 5’2”. For the month of August, I plan to work out at least 5 hours a week and maintain a 7000 calorie deficit per week. Really hoping all my efforts result in a big change this month. **My scale measures in 1/8 pound increments** 8/1 153.5 8/2 152.5 8/3 151.5 8/4 151.5 8/5 150.75 8/6 151.0 8/7 150.125…

Way to go. Every pound is a victory.

@mari_moulin I completely get it. I don’t like to see the scale go up either even for a temporary completely reasonable reason. Those are some intense workouts. All the muscle will help you lose weight faster and add nice shape too.

@mari_moulin Great job on getting those workouts in! I see a weight spike when I increase my workouts too. It comes off when I give myself a chance to recover for a couple days though.

Wow. Great job. Saving $1500 and doing it yourself is smart!

I prefer to increase my daily calorie goal and not add back exercise calories. I like not having huge fluctuations in the amount of food I can eat. The deficit is the same. Many time exercise calories are overestimated anyways.

Increase exercise, specifically weight training Eat whole foods and cook/measure/weigh everything Pay attention to macros (80+grams of protein, lower carb)

You should be able to find an aioli entry. The little sauce cups are 2 TBS. I would log 4 oz for the meat. It looks like there is kale, cabbage and sprouts in the wrap too. I would guess .5-1 oz each. I would log 1 sheet of nori and 1 sheet of rice paper.

I meal prep the exact same thing for several days at a time. For example, I made tiki masala with chicken and veggies. Huge pain to count all those weights and calories but now I have 6 meals worth. I ate one on the spot and am giving one to my friend so I am covered for the next 4 lunches. I make snack boxes with cold…

If I am dizzy, it is likely from not breathing enough during my workout. I use to be really bad about holding my breath and I would get dizzy. Being mindful of this has helped a lot.

I do best at the gym on an empty stomach. I try not to eat for a couple hours before the gym. I typically eat right after the gym. Also, a belly full of water can make me nauseated. I can drink 1/2 gallon of water during a workout without feeling bad. I just have to take a reasonable drink instead of downing a pint of…

You might have luck increasing your band size. Perhaps, work on your lats and upper back workouts?

33 5’2” 154 lbs I started working out about 5 years ago although I haven’t been doing much the last year. I was probably at my best about 2-3 years ago. I remember doing 5 minute planks. My bench press was routinely at 135lbs but I know I went higher. At one point, I was doing weighted pushups with a 25lb plate on my back.…

I meal prep often. If I don’t, I am scrambling to count calories and figure out what I am going to eat

Highest weight ever recorded 6/19 157.0 lbs 😬 I am only 5’2” so the extra weight really shows. 6/26 154.75 lbs early bird weigh in 6/29 153.5 lbs 7/2 151.25 lbs Hoping to be 150.5 in 3 days. I will be bringing my A game. 7/19 goal weight 147.5 lbs Ultimate goal weight about 130-135lbs

@bermenstein thanks for the tips. I give intermittent fasting a try every once in a while. I am quite fond of it. I will have to check out the other app too!

Oh whenever. Let’s start tomorrow!

I struggle with losing weight and gaining it back too. I also know it doesn’t work for me to have just one cookie, 1 bowl of ice cream etc. For me, the only thing that works is separating the unhealthy snacks. We have a healthy snack drawer. We also have a snack drawer that I don’t open because there is nothing I should be…

This is exactly what I need. My diet has gone rogue. I finally started working out again on Saturday. I am very interested in intermittent fasting 16/8, whole foods (mostly), low carb, lifting and getting in plenty of cardio. My goal weight is 140lbs. My ultimate goal weight is probably 130-135lbs.
