I guess it boils down to the perfectionist in me coming out in things that don't really matter much. I will for sure do what you said earlnabby. I never really thought about doing that before. I have a doctor appt I need to schedule in the next 2 weeks so I will have to remember to try that! Thank you to both of you! That…

Banana, pb2, almond milk, and protein powder. Cut the bananas up in pieces and freeze. Blend everything together! You can do a lot with this one too. Add oatmeal, chocolate, or spinach. Spinach can be added to almost any smoothie. Doesn't change the taste but adds a serving. Strawberries, mango, banana and orange juice.…

Lots in common. 5'2 175 I want to be 135 also. I recently gained 15 lbs back in the last month I think. No clue why or how. Add me.

Your weight fluctuates during the week. Weight on Friday's. I have noticed that I am up after a weekend but down right before. I am sure you are ok.

Is it a bulking up vs just loosing weight equation?

Seems like that is too much of a chore and a waste of time to me. Like you have to go out of the way to get to the same calorie number. Or is this totally different from actually counting calories per weight of food?

I have never really understood the macros vs calorie thing. Can't you just weight your found and count calories? What is the actual purpose if counting macros?

Very frustrating having to weed through the noob post trying to find a mentor.

I eat breakfast because I am hungry in the morning and because I have to time it due to my medicine. Sometimes it is a bar on the go though. Sometimes an egg. I never have time but I now I have to make sure it happens.

I found that the mild or blonde versions help with my GERD.

What is that?

I have been on anxiety medicine for 6 months now. First it was Lexapro and I actually found myself loosing a little weight. But I was also watching what I ate. It did help curb my appetite. Now I am on Effexor and I do not see a difference at all. My problems with food are that. My problems. I think you will be ok. Just…

Go by the grams. You will find that you may actually can get more or less that way. But it should always be leveled out. You should also check out pb2.

Cherry coke zero ftw!

I drink diet drinks with my fast food. I prefer to not drink my calories in a flavored carbonation. Also I like the taste. It saves me in calories too. I don't do because I think it will cancel anything out.

Yes...

I didn't count what I eat out. If I did it would be a lot. I probably easily spend $100 a week on eating out right now. But that is stopping today. I will spend no more than 20 a week.

Scales are a wonderful thing. When I got mine I noticed some foods when I measured by a cup they were actually more and some things were not even close! Like my protein powder actually takes more than 1 scoop.

THIS! But I do get it. I still live at home with my parents and we moved my sister in with her kids. None of us can make it on our own just yet. We have an agreement. The 3 of us cook 2 nights a week and 1 day we take turns picking where we are eating out. So that means 4 nights out of the week I am stuck dealing with what…

Not sure what I can spend now yet. I have just jumped back on the bandwagon. When I was on it I was spending anywhere from $40-$80 a week and that was with me buying for 2 weeks at a time. I would also have to always replace my fruit and veggies because they went bad before I could eat them all. But now we have an…

I remember reading some where that dark chocolate can actually help keep your blood pressure raised during your menstrual cycle. Which is why we always feel so hungry and crave salty and sweets. Your body does actually need that extra fuel. It recommended to eat that chocolate and rest. I mean come on we are shedding body…
