160 days!

If the entry has an option for grams then I will do whatever I want/need at the time. If it only has the generic serving size I weigh it to the serving size exactly because I usually don't feel like doing the math.

I watch my protein because I want to keep as much muscle as I can while I lose weight. And I watch fat and fiber because I like pooping regularly.

This week I made a frittata with broccoli and spinach and I'll have that every day. Next week I'll probably switch back to oatmeal, because I get tired of eggs pretty quickly.

Whichever one fits into your goals best.

I realized the only pants I could wear comfortably were leggings. Leggings and an oversized sweater worked for being snowed in, but I knew spring was coming eventually and I would want more choices. I also figured the extra 15 or so pounds wasn't helping my hip pain and I didn't want to be unable to walk all spring and…

I get the same thing! Now I get excited when my thighs start looking like cottage cheese because I know I'm about to lose some inches!

Oh. My. God.

And that's what it's all about. :)

How long has it been since you have lost weight?

I probably have protein with every meal because it works out that way (even my oatmeal has some protein.) I do plan to meet my protein goals each day but I don't have a minimum amount of protein per meal, just for the day overall.

I always log everything, even if I'm going to go way over. It keeps me accountable, and helps to keep me from being frustrated if my loss slows down since I know just how much I went over. I have been way more successful doing it this way than I have with any of my previous attempts. As far as planned days, it is usually…

My understanding is that it is overpriced Saran wrap that will temporarily cause you to lose water weight. I have a friend on Facebook that sells them and I think my three month progress pics just from eating at a caloric deficit look better than the ones she posts with the wraps, fat burners, defining gel, etc. Basically,…

I get chicken fajitas without tortillas. My fork is just as good at getting all of the yum to my face as the tortillas and I'd rather have 400 calories of sour cream and guacamole.

I have noticed that with my Fitbit, too. I think it expects me to keep up the same rate of activity throughout the remaining hours of the day, so it takes calories away as the day/night goes on. The Fitbit group may have a more accurate answer for you.

You can also look at your calories and go by the weekly deficit and eat some (or all) of those leftover calories the next day.

I pretty much only buy meat when it is on sale, so I check the circular and plan my menu for the week based on that. I'm a big fan of frozen veggies and stock up on those when they're on sale. I also have very little brand loyalty, for most things they all taste the same to me so I'll buy whatever is cheapest when I need…

I eat it! If it is too late to make it work into my calories that day then I figure it out for the next day or that weekend. I usually log the night before anyway so I play with the numbers so I can have what I want.

No, thanks. I like bread. And I don't like unsolicited rules from strangers. Best of luck to you though!

All of this. Except for the peeing, I only weigh before and after a poop. I think I'm less concerned about the actual number while weighing daily than I was when I weighed occasionally. Knowing it can fluctuate so much day to day, but that it always eventually catches up with what it should be based on my intake, makes it…

I just got a Fitbit Zip a couple weeks ago and it has made me realize I didn't walk as much as I thought I did, and has thus motivated me to move more because I don't like seeing the red. I like the zip because I hook it on my bra when I get dressed and then I don't have to worry about it and nobody can tell I'm wearing…

I didn't have anything planned for last night because I haven't done a proper grocery shopping this week. I haven't had one in a long time and I was still under my calories for the day, posting that picture was probably the most kind thing anyone did for me yesterday!

This happens to me often here. These forums are the reason I had a Snickers Ice Cream bar as the primary component of my dinner last night.

If you lowered your goal to 1 or 1.5 pounds a week you would have an extra 250-500 calories a day and probably wouldn't feel as hungry since you'd have calories for snacks. I know it's tempting to lose it as quickly as possible, but it's important to do it in a way that is sustainable to you.

My local station does the same thing. My favorite one so far the girl thought they had a good time and didn't understand why he hadn't called. They talked to the guy and she had been talking about how she was watching her weight, and that was fine. But then when their food arrived she took a bottle of Windex out of her…

As long as you're in a deficit it doesn't matter when you consume the calories. Your body is burning calories constantly just by keeping you alive, and it doesn't care about our standard 24 hour clock.

12.8

I try not to order anything too messy, just because I would be so focused on not making a mess that I couldn't pay proper attention to my date and the conversation. But if we're going to a place known for good burgers I will probably end up with burger juice running down my arm, but any guy I date needs to be ok with that…

Even at 115 pounds my thighs were best friends. It seems like such a random thing to strive for since it isn't really in your control.

Does it actually adjust how many calories it gives you based on your previous rate of loss that it records? I just have the zip because I wanted to see how many steps led to hip pain, just to have some more information to give my doctors, but the calories seem low based on how much I eat and lose. It doesn't matter because…
