My concern is that waiting until you feel truly hungry can lead to over eating and the body might also attack muscle before fat reserves? I never allow my hunger to go unchecked too long because then I eat faster and cant always tell when I am full until I am stuffed!

I have been wondering this myself. I want to feel full and satisfied so that I don't binge, but on days when I workout I am a lot hungrier. Having those extra calories added to my allowance is just so tempting.... I worry though that I am simply working out so that I can eat more. I chose the semi active option and get…

This is going to be fun! I think this is just what I need to motivate myself! Date:2/8/17 Starting Weight: 146 Weekly Weight: Goal Weight: 125

I am a huge fan of adding coconut cream to my coffee. I does add some calories and especially fat, but I find that I am full longer after breakfast and don't need a snack as quick. Plus, it is paleo and vegan so if those are a bonus for you.

I think the best crock pot for you would be one with a double pot. You can slow roast veggies in one side and make meat in the other. I make all sorts of healthy foods in mine. My husband likes my white chili and also when I make soups. Mine is a Crock-Pot brand, but I paid $3 for it at a garage sale. Lol.

I literally feel this way all the time! If I eat fruit, then I crave salty or savory. If I finish a nice salad then I crave sweets. Sometimes I give in and eat a sweet Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts to quiet my tummy. It is strange because I also know I am not hungry but my stomach will feel sour at times until I give…

I am loving all this great advice! My initial goals are to finally fit back into my old skinny jeans and feel comfortable at the beach or in shorts. I don't want to miss out on going to places I love because I feel self-conscious. Part of that is me learning to put on my big girl pants and get over it... but I also want to…

I like the complete protein cookies by Lenny and Larry. They are big and chewy so I can tear of a little piece at a time and nom nom nom while watching a fave tv show. When I have extra calories and can get away with it I like to add a scoop of Halo ice cream and make a sandwich out of it. One cookie really is enough…

This is my third or fourth time trying this too. Last time before my wedding I lost maybe 10 pounds and it came right back on with the stress of normal life. I log in and although I see people posting about their own stuff, I don't have anyone really offering me support. My office is where I eat the most because everyone…

This sounds great! I need to get back into running since I haven't done anything after my first half marathon last year. I started with the Tinkerbell half. I would like to try the Rock n' Roll Half next. How do you get a ticker?

Welcome! This app is awesome and comes with a cool community and so much support whatever your fitness goals may be.

I know exactly how you feel! Especially when my man used to try to run on the treadmill next to me. He would ask what mile I was on and my incline etc...I always felt so pathetic when I couldn't keep up. Plus every time he would startle me with a question or shout encouragement it would throw me off and I would lose my…

I literally have the same problem. My waist is tiny and my hips and thighs and butt and especially my manish calves are huge....Lol! Eventually with all the strength training I am sure I will slim down - waist down, but til then I live in stretchy yoga shorts and long skirts. Pants are the devil....belts are…

Does it count if I have owned cats and am secretly addicted to funny cat memes and videos? Lol. I love cats but my last kitty passed away before I moved and my new condo doesn't allow pets. I swear I visit my friends with cats all the time just so I can play with them. #catcreeper

Darn, I was hoping more people were going to respond to this. I am looking for a Paleo version to replace whey so I can eat back my calories after my workouts. I keep seeing ones made out of egg whites, but would almost prefer something vegan...but honestly that would probably be made out of peanuts and legumes, ie not…

I have only been back to this app for less than 2 weeks, but now that I am back on track I log in religiously, have shifted priorities and plan to continue on this path until well after I achieve my weight loss goals. I have about 20 pounds to convert to muscle which I feel is a healthy realistic goal, provided I am…

Lets do this! I actually have had this app for a long time, but this is my first time in two years logging in daily. It seems like there are some upgrades that I don't know how to use yet but I'm learning. I am looking to meet positive people who can offer support and knowledge and who will ultimately encourage me in my…

Ugh! I feel ya! i look my best at 115, but always edge up to 125-130. I just want my skinny jeans to fit but my body likes to be difficult. Its a slow road to our goal weight because we arent too far off. The last 5 pounds are the absolute worst, especially because we naturally want to reward ourselves for being close with…

Im turning 30 in september. I am a sub looking for an art teaching job and work 7 days a week between the subbing and my second job at an childrens art studio. I work out 4-6 times a week from 30 minutes to an hour and consume about 1300 to 1500 calories, but i am still finding it hard to get back down to my goal weight. I…
