for me it has always been CICO... and nothing is free - including fruits & veggies.

maybe your "goal" is set too low for you.... I know when I first tried this in like 2009 - I tried that whole 1200 calorie thing... I would laugh at that now lol It didn't do me any good to try and eat that low and I felt horrible... I prefer to give myself something reasonable and keep moving up in how much I can eat :)

levels have to be in check first. Then comes down to very accurate calorie counting - which means weighing every. single. piece of food that you come in contact with. I have also found that utilizing TDEE method with straight shot on calories and tweaking weekly is better than recording calories + calories burned since the…

I move on and log again the next day :)

no, it keeps YOUR sweet tooth going... doesn't affect mine at all no matter how many I drink :)

that depends.... if you are going to use MFP the way it is designed.. when you log exercise, you will eat those calories back (to a point) so essentially you could eat upwards of 1600-1900 per day.

LOL bet you were surprised by the cup o sugar in the jug LOL

well my thyroid is now dead :) so yes I am hypo / Hashi's... I am on 200mcg Levothyroxine daily... As long as I take my meds, I can lose weight. The only thing different for me, personally, is I have to be very diligent in counting and weighing foods. I have no room for error and I frequently have to recalculate my TDEE.

in the south there is no such thing as unsweetened tea... lol I can't imagine drinking tea that is unsweetened.. blech...

cook a bunch on the weekends and store in containers... grab and reheat... dinner in 5 min :)

well since I despise banana's the choice is obviously cake.. FTW! :)

and from a thyroid issue sufferer... it wouldn't be a "oh maybe.. meh" .. if you TRULY have a problem... you know it.

lol answer above is still true... get a food scale.. weight is all that matters when it comes to food.

southern... its all coke lol... but I drink Diet Coke

I did great losing weight last year... then had that whole brain ruptured aneurysm thing... and I literally had to sit in a recliner for a month.. I am still not "allowed" to work out in large capacity yet - still not allowed to lift :( Did I have to eat what I did.. no, but I didn't care at that point. I mean really - I…

i eat all that I am allowed to eat... more food trumps less food... every time :)

lol you should be able to find us under Meg's friends LOL

I will totally give up my 200 cals to coffee every. stinking. day... don't care.. I enjoy it and it makes me happy... I will even have my starbucks lattee as well ;)

ROFLMAO!!! classic... I need to print that out..... sign me up :P

use whatever you want.... I still use plenty of creamer in my coffee... I am OK with that.. I log it and that will never change lol

no thanks.... not even going to look lol

wrap that steak in bacon..... that's how I roll... lol

I personally would enjoy it all... eat, drink and be happy... log it and go forward to tomorrow. One day didn't cause damage and one day isn't going to undo it all either.

I do everything at home.. including lifting. I bought a power cage for that reason alone lol I just don't do public... like pretty much hate it :)

I HAVE to care about fiber :( stupid thyroid...

bingo... fiber is my hard point... I don't really care if I go over sodium - I will just drink water ... its the fiber...

the point Lis was making is not worry about pounds melting :) pay attention to WHAT is .. inches and feelings :)

well 1. your burn is too high (seriously) 2. With MFP (and assuming how it is set for you) it is wanting you to eat those calories you burned because then you will still be in a deficit since MFP's allowance isn't accounting for exercise.

to answer your question... nobody has to try it to know its crap... not needed or useful... it will end up being spam but I figured I would answer it.

yeah thats the new goal LOL she asked me last night "how much is a castle mommy... like a billion?" LOL lord help me....
