Hi, @springlering62 ! Just like some of the comments above part of your comment was just unnecessary and missing the point of my original question. No one had to respond to this question and post if they did not have tips to share. Everyone deserves to love their body. The goal for everyone does not have to be to have a…

Thank you all for your comments but most of you did not answer the question and over thought it. I have lost a lot of weight and I am very slim so I am completely aware you cannot spot reduce fat. Hence why I shared what I personally do and it helps me to keep my stomach down. When it comes to extended bellies some people…

@traumamomtx I hope it all goes well! (:

@zwoman111 Are you eating enough calories?
-
"..Fitness and healthy body weight are not necessarily synonyms.." @AnnPT77 Yeah, I definitely didn't say that. Per the conversation, we were talking about backtracking in general including calorie consumption and working out not just a number on a scale. But thanks for sharing what personally works for you.

@MargaretYakoda You are right fitness is not always linear. I appreciate the encouragement! And thanks for the caveat (:
-
I am enjoying our chat in this forum. I am not looking for advice or to give advice to anyone on this matter. I just like hearing everyone's perspective on this and knowing what works for all of us as individuals.
-
@MargaretYakoda Wow, thanks so much for sharing that. That is what I am afraid of because once you stop tracking and being mindful it is so easy to slip back into old habits. As much as I don't want to step on the scale daily I feel like in a way it's self care. I worked too hard to back track. I had a fear of the scale…

@lisakatz2 Yeah, I understand that. Some days weighing myself is hard but personally it would bother me more if I weighed in once a week and ate something that had a good bit of sodium in it then the scale says I gained two pounds when it's my body holding on to more water. I think once I hit my final goal and I am just…

@Corina1143 I used to obsessively weigh myself. I realized that could turn into a problem for me but like you said it is pretty cool to see how different things cause weight fluctuations. Now I just weigh in naked every morning before eating or drinking.

@K_ROSE_ it won't let me add you it says your profile is private.

@alligatorob Have you identified what your trigger is? Why you feel the need to binge or emotionally eat?
-
@GiannaJoy218 I am looking for the same thing but on here preferably than text. I'll shoot you a message.

@ItaliaLownsbury I am allergic to almonds but I make and buy my own oat milk. I love using coconut milk as well. Vegan cheese is hit and miss but I like the brands Chao and Daiya. Violife is okay too. The cheese just depends on what you are making sometimes vegan cheese needs a little help. One of my favorite treats is…

@ItaliaLownsbury I am dairy free as well. Have you tried any plant milks or plant based products yet?

@breds6896 I have been feeling the same way lately. I feel like I could eat 2 dinners at night. Luckily I haven't been but I have been hungrier than normal.

@CandySunflowers1985 Thank you so much for joining! Sounds like you are off to a great start. I know losing weight isn't linear. What are your goals?

@carriebeanjordan Lately I have been snacking on Field Roast Classic Pizzeria Plant-Based Pepperoni and Mustard only 130/cals for a serving it's surprising very filling especially when snacking in between meals. Could even have with a few crackers.

How active are you?
-
You are trying out the pescatarian diet?
-
Wow that all looks amazing!!!
-
I most definitely need to add more avocados to my diet, even mixing them in sauces and dressings to stretch them and help me feel fuller longer sounds great.
-
Sounds delicious. I am an oatmeal lover for sure. What do you add to your shake?
-
That does sound yummy. I have yet to order tofu at a Chinese Restaurant. I definitely will soon! Are you gluten free by choice or allergy?
-
Hii Ginger, Congratulations on meeting your goal!! Thank you for joining the group. Do you calorie count or stay mindful of how many calories you consume? I know a lot of people who gain all or some of their weight back because they stop being mindful of their diet even when staying active.
-
I am plant-based. I dabble in some plant-based meats and they help keep me full. If I knew cooked right tofu was so good I would have been eating it years ago lol

Hii, Kelly! I am a dairy free vegetarian. I chose this lifestyle for health, spiritual, and moral reasons.
