If you go back a few days, to the weekend there is barely anything filled out.

I would just try to figure out portion size and preparation. Ask your server how big the serving is, and what the preparation is if it's not on the menu. That way you wil have a better guess as far as nutrition goes. You can also do some research if you are unsure of cooking techniques and use recipes similar that do have…

I think with your extenuating circumstances it would be totally understandable to skip the weigh in. However it might be interesting scientifically to see if the effects of sun poisoning had any effect on your weight. I weigh in once a month just to check in as I am within 10 lbs of my goal and ok with where I am now.

It can be hard at first, I would suggest that if you do have a gym membership that you go to the gym on your way home from work, do not stop at home first. Also, I like to sign up for outside exercise classes. The simple fact that I paid for them is usually a good motivator for me to get my butt in gear. It is just like…

I understand how you feel, you want to lose weight but you are remembering the hard work, hours spent exercising,perhaps eating restrictions, always have to make healthy choices...it can be exhausting mentally and physically and sometimes sitting on the couch spooning nutella in your mouth watching reality tv seems like a…

I'm certainly not a lifting expert but I imagine the 10-15 mins of cardio is meant to serve as a warm up

I also like to peek at other people's speed, I don't feel like I am in competition with them, I just like to compare. If someone looks like they are really moving I want to know where I lie in comparison. I really am not a fan of running, I just do my 30-45 mins 3x a week because I know it's good for my heart and lungs and…

Ignore sugar limits on MFP. Eat fruit.

I am 5'7" 160 and am at 36 27 41, almost identical to you OP. I also have personal body image issues with my big booty and legs. I think it's important that we learn to love what we have, I am trying to accept that I will never have skinny legs or slim hips but I will probably always have nice toned calf muscles (even if…

It seems really difficult at first to cut back on things that you love, I had this issue with alcohol as well as desserts, and i regularly enjoy both. I am not saying that you should stop enjoying things that you really love. A couple tactics I have employed to cut back are sipping slowly/ putting my drink down between…

I would suggest looking up on any cooking website or blog dry rubs/ marinades for the different proteins that you usually cook with. Once you find some that you like feel free to vary and add/ subtract spices. I like to taste the combination before using it to cook with in case something is off a little bit. What you…

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I am pretty sure there was a 21 year old girl, with no family history, that possibly got breast cancer from keeping her phone in her bra. She had it in there for 12 hours a day every day....but it would still be something I would watch. I sweat too much for that to even be an option, I use a…

I don't have colitis but I do have digestive issues. Some days it seems like anything I eat upsets my stomach, and other days I can eat almost anything. Today my stomach is upset because of something I ate yesterday. I find that while it can be scary to eat when you don't know what is going to happen afterwards, that if I…

Thanks guys! It's comforting to know I'm not the only one in between. I know I just need to go to the store and try them on, and I will eventually find a pair that works for me, I just get discouraged when I can't find anything that fits just right...hopefully with back to school stuff out, there will be a better variety…

Once you have gone a long while without smoking, you will then understand what all the fuss over the smell and taste is. After I quit, years ago I was craving one of my old friends (probably after one too many to drink), I smoked it but it sure didn't taste the same and it gave me a terrible hangover....crazy to think…

Weekdays: 250-350, breakfast is around 6:30 am and then I have a 150-250 cal snack between 9:30 and 10:30 am Weekends: 400-500, I usually sleep in so I wil have one big meal in place of breakfast snack 1 and lunch I eat 1750 a day

You don't want to increase your intake by 1000 immediately, but you do want to increase. Try increasing by 100 cals, stabilizing for a week or so and then add 100 more until you get to your goal. Also, a couple tips: 1) get a food scale and measuring cups to make sure you have been calculating everything correctly 2) If…

Greek yogurt fresh veggies fresh fruit hummus peanut butter oatmeal granola/ cereal/ meal bar with 7g protein or above- I love KIND bars lean meats cheese Those are pretty much my go to snacks, oftentimes combining them (greek yougurt + berries, hummus + veggies, etc etc)

I would suggest incorporating more fresh fruits and veggies into your diet. They act as a really great low calorie snack.

Work out hard during the week and also eat under by 100-200 everyday, so that when the wedding comes you have 500-1000 calories extra to work with. If you can, maybe go for a run the morning of the wedding? Also, make sure you eat veggies and protein first, stay away from extra sauces, and thing you know have a high…

Just a helpful hint- I found that using the TDEE method made me more accountable with exercise. I put myself as lightly active, so I made sure I got my 1-3 hours in a week. If I end up exercising harder or more often during the week I don't adjust my calories on MFP but I do up them a little bit.

I think that you are more interested in a fitbit, I believe that that measures steps and activity.

At home or in a class, perhaps, if it was hot and I felt comfortable enough. Outside, no probably not. My general running route is on an extremely busy road during rush hour so I probably wouldn't feel comfortable....but mostly because of boob bounce not stomach exposure. If I had smaller boobs I may feel more comfortable.

I have grape nuts cereal with half a banana on top, that fills me from 6:30 til about 10 when I have my morning snack (fruit, oatmeal or a granola bar), then I eat lunch around 12. If I don't eat something every 2-3 hours I usually overeat at meal times.

If you decided to check out protein powder make sure you are getting a vegan protein powder, I believe that there are a good number of vegan hemp protein powders out there.

If you are really concerned, pick a place that has a calorie count online, decide ahead of time what you will order. Personally, my birthday is usually a day where I will eat whatever I want, whether it is a healthy dinner within my calorie limits or something extremely rich. If you eat healthy the rest of the day, an…

I like to have cut up fruit with dark chocolate syrup on top. This way you get a serving of fruit, fiber from the fruit to fill you up, and the indulgence of chocolate, I think 2 tbsp of the syrup are 100 cals, plus the cals from the fruit. So pretty low cal for a dessert. I also will make my own whipped cream and put it…

Do whatever you want. I'm sorry I may be missing the point but how is this related to diet and weight loss? I just find it strange that you are asking if you should take a nap in a forum... I am not trying to offend you OP I just find it unusual.
