My SO is spending the weekend with me... we're gonna make... something... I know it will have some cut of pork, and probably potatoes... unsure what else. We aren't great meal planners... lol.

We're all our own worst enemy. The trick is to find a routine you don't mind doing. ANY diet will work if you stick to it. NOT every diet makes sense for everyone because of lifestyle. A single mom isn't going to do great on a "eat salad and fish" diet, because they have kids who eat mac and cheese and whatnot. They're…

My favorite way to break a plateau is an epic cheat day. Your body tries to burn what you put in most effectively. That's why really successfully thin for life people tend to eat the same thing everyday. But when you're trying to lose weight and your body pulls this, the easiest way for ME to break it is by telling it…

I take a LOT of medication. Over the years, a lot of it has been known to cause weight gain. Sometimes it's because you're subconsciously eating more... but a lot of them can be combated with additional exercise. If you already exercise, that probably sounds crap, but if you're gaining and exercising on this medication,…

I used to have an eating disorder, and for that reason I have to limit my scale involvement. If I can get my calories under control, I know that I will lose weight anyways. So, right now I'm weighing once a week, for confirmation I'm doing something right, and I'm hoping to push that out to a monthly ceremony in the…

Try looking through these.

I love using mine to cook pork chops. They come out perfect every time. Between my air fryer and my instant pot, I hardly use the stove/oven anymore.

Sounds to me like you need a new exercise for when you're on breaks from your usual thing. Something that keeps you off that foot. Have you considered taking up biking? Or rowing? Or swimming? Or... just something that lets you move differently and doesn't stress the metatarsal that's under stress? Weight lifting? Pilates?…

Focus on what IS happening. The number on the scale is not as important as things like how you feel, how your clothes feel, etc.

I just restarted and vowed I wouldn't make number based goals, cuz I obsess, but I have goals. My first goal is to eat under 2000 cals... which sounds easy, but I'm a binger, and it is NOT. After I get that, my only goal will be consistently eating my caloric-goal for the day. I wanna work in exercise, but I won't be able…

I had a cancer scare this year.... and it freaked me out. So, I don't wanna die of a fat disease. Like that's a terrible story to tell in the afterlife. I'm not aiming to be a size 00, but I'd like to get some weight off my knees and maybe not have to take my new blood pressure medication anymore... and not get diabetes in…

I'm of the opinion that so long as you're not doing anything dangerous, you are the only one that can dictate what your body NEEDS to look like. If you wanna lose weight, you should. Your hips and thighs get bigger because your main exercise is running. You might want to look into exercises you can do in your living room…

I'm at 291... was worried I'd be over 300 now, since I haven't been taking care of myself. Hoping to drop to an even 200. Anyone can feel free to add me. I could use the support.

My first mini goal is just to stay under 2000 for a couple weeks, get the binging under control. Then I gotta drop to 1600. Then I gotta start exercising. It's gonna be crap, because I have a major surgery next month, so I really gotta get the eating under control, since I won't be able to exercise until about late…
