This exactly! You will be amazed at what a serving REALLY is once you get a food scale.

Pretty new to being here, but just wanted to say, I just had my baby 2-4-18. Congratulations! & Good luck with your weight stuff. My hardest thing was not eating everything in sight. Lol.

Work by Iggy Azalea, if you're into her. I put it on repeat! hahaha!

Not if they have caffeine. I drink a lot of tea, which I count as water if it's caffeine free.

Add me! I'm 20!

That makes two of us! Welcome back!

Substitutions, really lean ground beef. Ground turkey. Turkey hot dogs. Turkey sausage. Turkey bacon (not my favorite). As for potatoes, just limit them. Vegetables, first of all, I'm the one who does the cooking, so my motto is, "if you don't eat it, you can starve". Needless to say, I don't have a problem getting anyone…

Wait a minute - think about it. You say your family eats things that you aren't supposed to, but keep in mind that they also should be eating healthier to keep from getting high BP. A little here and there is not so bad though also. I have been on Lisinopril for 3 years. Good Luck!

Stationary bike or walking. Pinterest on my phone - lol.

Drink water and if you're hungry - eat healthy. Think about it PMS + introducing the unhealthy bad foods that you have finally gotten out of your system = pain. Between cramps and heartburn - totally not worth it!

Started buying good stuff! Threw away my unhealthy stuff, if it ain't there - I'm not tempted!

I'm in! Lol! I'll add you!

Uh yeah - start there. Yes they affect your progress anything with high sugar is gonna have higher calories and not keep you full very long. High sodium increases water intake, increasing water weight and so on. If all your vegetables are drowned in liquid or come from a can, chances are they're high in sodium. Looks like…

Couldn't have said that better my self! Stop listening to FOX news and you're extremist friends and DO REAL RESEARCH! Jeez!

I like the above poster have high blood pressure. Main thing is your preservatives and cans. Not sure what your idea of eating clean is, but you could start at the produce aisle's in your grocery store.

I do it as if I ate a little of the actual marinade. For example, I had stir fry last night. Used Worcestershire sauce. Included 3 tablespoons because I figure that's probably what I ate. Or you could always add up whatever you used the marinade calories, plus the calories from the actually marinade and divide them by…

I feel you girl. So much easier. I've read horrible things about fast food restaurants to kinda sway my opinion - that doesn't even work! Yuck! I have actually found a (kinda) solution. My boyfriend really is supporting me through this - so if we want to eat out now, he will let me know, "you really don't need to". Have…

Not eating a lot at work - either too busy or don't want the embarrassment because other people know they shouldn't be eating much because they are so big. And when they get home they feel like they are starving - even if they aren't and eat a lot! Happens all the time. This is why the "snacking" lifestyle helps people…

I keep seeing recipes for mushroom pizza. Instead of a crust they use big portabellas! Talk about yummmm

On the water weight issue - if you eat a lot of sodium, you have to drink enough water to get it out. Drink a lot of water then workout (or take a hot bath). Should sweat some of the sodium and toxins out. That causes a lot of what we call "water weight" because sodium and caffeine retain water.

I don't "cheat" but I forget to log and I shouldn't haha. good to know that you guys do!

If it's fast food, I pull something similar from another fast food restaurant. If it's a sit down restaurant (like a local), I pretty much just go by the meal I had. Just put in everything separate. Like add you steak, then the veggies, etc...

Just posted this, but wanted to add that I'm sure you could do whatever flavor you like. Like a ranch or italian dressing packet? I do like 3-4 cans at a time. I'm telling you they are awesome. Oh and use a little olive oil in the mixture. Helps with the cooking/crunching(:

Seen this on pinterest lol - so had to try it. It was a plus because I love spicy and chickpeas. And research does show that spicy stuff helps speed up that metabolism (: Take a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) and drain em. Dump em in a zip lock bag (or bowl or whatever) and add a little salt (I use garlic salt just…

I love bodyrock.tv and they have some beginners. You do as much or as little you want. but they push you hard. Post new videos (mostly) everyday. Best of all, it's free.

Yep, been diagnosed 2 years now. Mostly picking at skin (like don't want anything on me). Don't like food to touch. Eat one thing at a time. Don't like things that aren't "correct". Proportionate is a big thing for me. There are a lot of things. The worst is how people just assume you have a cleaning disorder. Lol - nope…

I don't make them public - too much trouble. Just use them to figure my calories per meal at home.

whoo - last month was lose the sweet drinks. This month will be a hard one. ummmm Lets do exercise 5x week!

Oh man - I so wanna do this but I am so out of shape. The last time I tried it. I only finished like the first circuit and it took me three days to recover. I've been lifting some though so maybe I will try it again. I'll let y'all know on October the first. Is anyone else like me? Lol. I like the Challenges - cause you…

I'm no expert. And I'm just starting out (about a month ago) seriously working my tail off. BUT - I do know that I feel much better whenever I strength train as well. It will help you achieve high levels of cardio - opening your muscles. Also, you burn a lot more calories by circuit training. I usually do enough treadmill…
