Thank you! I'm really looking forward to warmer weather *praise hands*! and okay yeah there have been some weirdo friend requests lately so that might be a good idea about the password. thanks!

Yeah I guess I haven't had issues before so I haven't thought much about how I measure. When I meal prep next, I will weigh the food instead bc I have seen in the forums that it is a difference. Thanks! And yes those recipes are what I created. and I realize I could be off so I try to not eat all my calories or eat my…

sorry I just made my food diary public. Yeah I'm trying to see if I can figure it out myself before paying to see someone. Only because i've been doing it for so long i feel i should be able to figure it out; but maybe not. I try to work out at least once a day Monday - Friday. I've been enjoying these live stream workouts…

This thread is great! I love before and afters

I've never participated in wild swimming but it sounds really fun and freeing. If they are your friends, then they will only want to have a good time with you. I say take them up on the offer next time. I honestly think getting out there would really help to motivate you even more. Especially now that you are working out,…

I have trouble with sleep as well. My bed seems to be the place I want to think about everything that happened that day and planning for the next day. But, mainly staying asleep is my problem. What has helped me is logging off of my computer and phone about 30-45 munutes before bed. And then I journal... everything I'm…

Woot, that's great! you can do it, we can do it! Good luck!

I need friends too :blush: My current friends either aren't trying to get healthy or just don't care. would love to bounce recipe and fitness ideas with people.

I have to meal plan because I don't keep a lot of just extra food in my house so if I don't have a meal to eat then I will just eat out. I'm trying to save money so I try to just eat out once a week. I plan my lunch and dinner weekly, making a big batch for both meals and eating that Sunday - Thursday. Breakfast I switch…

That's a great idea! I recently changed my weight loss to 0.5 pounds a week so that bumped my calories to 1700. I struggled to get to 1200 before but adding in snacks between meals has really helped. So now i eat between 1200-1400 most of the time. working on eating more.

Hi is registration still open, or has it closed?

I need help with it too. I've only made tofu scramble. I had no idea tofu had so much liquid in it; i usually squeeze with my hands...then i cook in a pan with veggies. Lots of seasoning, lots of seasoning or else it tastes like nothing. I love the air fryer so maybe I will try that. As the person mentioned above i think…

As they say this is a lifestyle change - eating more than you plan will happen sometimes. I know when I hang out with my family I usually eat more - lots of snacking and laughing. I don't think much about it nowadays because I know that one or two days is not going to mess up all the hard work I did the other days or what…

Anytime I go out where other people are around, I put a mask out, it's such a simple thing to do. Easier to put on than pants. If it helps in anyway then I have no problem wearing it.

Yeah usually i eat the same thing for lunch and dinner each week but I make sure to track every night for the next day just to see where I am because I do switch up my breakfast meal; sometimes I may have only a bit left from my lunch and dinner meal prep. Snacks change up. I just don't want to go over calories or my…

I have to plan ahead to eat out usually. My go to is Moes burrito bowl, with a side of chips its about 700 calories. Panera isn't bad just a lot of sodium. I try to go places that I know will fill me up.

I love breakfast food. The past couple weeks I have been eating tofu scramble, and overnight oats. Eggs have been bothering me lately so I don't eat those much nowadays. But before, twice baked sweet potatoes with an egg in the middle is so good. Hash with sausage or bacon is yummy as well.

At this very moment, i'm listening to Black Magic by Little mix :D not my favorite group but this playlist on spotify gets me through the work day

I need to up my protein too so I got the little tuna packs and sardines for a little extra boost when my meals don't cut it. Can eat with crackers if you like. I also got boars head turkey pepperoni, they are really good. I eat them with a bit of aged Parmesan cheese. You just have to watch the sodium intake Apple slices…

I do think weight watchers work. There's obv mixed reviews everywhere. I preferred it over MFP because it seemed less tedious as far as tracking every single thing. Just thinking of points made it easier for me. But, you really have to be careful with tracking. Making sure you track the right brand, the recipes you track…

@Noreenmarie1234 oh gosh yes! I've been wanting to make those because I of course have all the ingredients. But, I am trying to resist because I would eat all of it plus some in one sitting. @VegjoyP I just discovered sunflower butter about a month ago. Sunbutter dark chocolate cups sound wonderful. I'm going to have to…

I'm around 5ft5. My goal weight initially was 150. I am about at 150 now and still have a lot of body fat so i'm bumping my goal to 140. The number on the scale doesn't bother me as much as it did but I assume I'll prob need to weigh a little less to get this extra fat off.

I wouldn't call it a cheat meal. It's more just getting take out versus my healthier home cooked food. Lately, I've been getting a burrito bowl from Moes on Fridays - which isn't bad minus the chips :). If I want something sweet I'll just keep dark chocolate around so I don't go crazy holding out on cravings.

sunflower butter :) could just sit, and eat it out the jar; so good!

Yes I also had pure protein just to drink after a morning workout. I did try using it as breakfast but I wouldn't say it held me over longer. I've had issues getting protein and have thought about getting a protein powder but I really want to try foods high in protein. But, oatmeal is really filling, that usually holds me…

Yeah I see it a lot in my thighs. My right thigh seems to be getting smaller quicker than my left thigh.

Yeah the filtered water does taste better. I use to not be keen on water either. Adding fruit slices helps a lot. Or just adding lime or lemon juice tastes really good too. Chamomile tea is really good, and if you can spare adding honey in it then of course that's yummy.
