hahah thanks i was wondering the same thing

Thanks! Going to hit up the gym now and also head over to the bookstore too lol

awesome! i will check these out thanks!

ok perfect yea thats what ill do thanks! and i went over may 100 here or there which at my first week i wasnt too strict. now my 2nd week im buckling down more. either way no i didnt eat 7000 cals over haha

i think its so hard bc when we take care of ourselves and seem like were "eating less" thats when our family or a friend steps in and says im worried even if you are doing this the healthy way. or if you work out daily sometimes it worries people or makes them uncomfortable. these can be the same people however who say oh…

Thank you all so much! the best words of wisdom i have heard yet, thank you!

same. my husband is a great cook too! what gets me is all of december when people bring the best cookies and sweets ever into the office. my will power has been known to get weaker and weaker by the day and the more i see the "goodies"

perfect thanks and no i dont have a scale but i will get one. i do measure sometimes it gets tedious but then i overeat and feel *kitten* so i am quickly reminded why i do it. lol

lol yes it is a struggle but i know what u mean sometimes i do succeed. thanks

hahah nice truth. thanks!

Thanks! what everyone said helped a lot. i am also going to focus on eating more smaller meals maybe im letting my bloodsugar get too low idk. i drink tons of water and constantly chew gum esp at work or during my triggers. i will try to be more gentle as well about it but all this helped a lot! thanks!

what i do for eating out is go on the restaurants website for calories before we go to plan better. sometimes u can only eat half a burger and get broccoli instead of fries or just eat a couple fries or like others say dont eat but i find when i dont eat then i end up binging bc i cant stop bc i waited too long. message me…

BEST THING EVER!!! i make them with spaghetti sauce or shrimp and olive oil soooo good. u can get a noodle maker thing at walmart i think it was $15

great job!

Fair. Got it..thanks :)

For me I try to eat bfast lunch and dinner to aim for 500 cals each. Im not a snacker and I like to eat and be done with it. Sometimes my bfast isnt as big but ill eat an early dinner snack instead. Lots of people say thats bad eat more snacks but i find im not hungry between meals and thats what im going to aim for when…

Thanks I have tea and love it..it just slips my mind when im hungry. It does start a chain reaction. Ive tried saving up cals and it makes it worse. There are nights I dont eat much and im fine but then im like oh I still have 300 cals left I better eat them and the frenzy (good word) begins. Thanks.

Wow this is great I'm always the tallest....I am 5'10" and now 180. My goal weight is 155. I was at that once in my life for a year and felt amazing normally I've been 170..athletic but def have some chub. I think the same I'm like wow I'm morbidly obese these other girls are 120-130. Idk if I could ever be that. I do have…

Congrats! Great tips

i get on here at least every other day for motivation bc i am very good at talking myself out of it..im in ny winter near the lakes so i get it. i also try to plan my meals or at least have a back up. If i am not hungry i do fine (so i eat every 2-3 hrs or try to). i always give myself permission to eat again (i used to…

ok ill try that thanks very much for your help...ive been trying 1400 a day and even that some days is perfect somedays its not (obv depending on what i eat). pics and measurements is a good idea ive been extremely frustrated bc ive been doing weights at the gym the past 5 weeks and put on weight. no i did not put on 4lbs…

so say i am at 2000 (also how do you find this number?) wouldnt i still need to be at 12-1300 to see anything? i was looking for 1lb-1.5lb a week bc i starve on 2lb a week unless i have anxiety ha. but i feel like my calorie intake is off?

I'm on spintec and have a hard time losing. Never thought it was this tho but it could be.

SUCH A GOOD IDEA!!! i forget about this!! thanks!

thanks! i LOVE hummus and carrots and i forget about popcorn..i used to do some in a paper bag with olive oil. i like your idea better tho!

me too! i just started again and ive done the same thing. before i lost 20lbs in 2 months and it was hell this time im going slower..we have the same amt of weight we want to lose...are you doing 1lb or 2lbs a week? im doing 1lb. i mostly use the phone ap too fyi. add me

i have cut out dairy for (currently i eat dairy bc im struggling) and i didnt have a weight loss. possibly skin difference bc i dont break out as much but havent focused on that. the hugest change i noticed is my allergies. ive always had asthma but my nose always runs even if i take an allergy pill or if im inside or…

usually i try my best to compare it to a name/store brand bc theres lots of thin crust pizzas maybe next time youre at the store just guesstimate size and toppings and go from there. no matter what even if we count every little piece of what we eat cals are NEVER EXACT. good luck :)
