I asked about the extra boost too. I was curious if it had to do with saran wrap...

What does it help boost? What do you mean by "helps boost you to reach your goals"

water. and let your organs do the rest

Why did you want to try Crossfit?

I am really impressed with your motivation, especially with an injury. Does the rowing bother your knee? I love rowing, but couldnt imagine doing it with an injury. I think it's great that you are paying attention to what you are eating (macros.) finding what works without making you "hangry" is so important!

Then keep doing what you are doing! everything else is just opinion and advice. obviously what you are doing is working. :)

Losing my first 50, i followed just a calorie deficit. then lifting happened. I wanted to lift more and have better workouts. Thats when I started to track macros and lost another 40. Tracking macros has made the way i feel and perform so much better. I wish I started it sooner.

Oh i am sure their logging isn't accurate either. I get the whole cals in vs cals out. but if their diary says it, it must be true. my whole point was, if you are eating treats and you are progressing the way you want, go for it. if you are not progressing, then try cutting out the treats or not as often.

Let me start by saying I follow IIFYM. But you need to hit your macros for it to work. I have a few friends who will eat a lot of sweets/treats, hit their carb goal, be under calorie goal by 100-200, and under their protein goal by a lot as well. And then question why they are not losing weight. so if you are losing weight…

Hi! Feel free to add me. I've lost about 90 pounds thru diet and exercise. What kind of workouts are you doing?

Are you working out at home with limited equipment or do you have a gym membership?

I suffered from depression and anxiety as well. Exercise and good nutrition were the main factors of me getting off meds and feeling more in control. Is it hard to start a healthy routine? Sure, but it has done wonders for me. Now, when i feel myself slipping, i know what my body needs (food, exercise, rest) and help…

because french fries taste better than celery...

I agree with New Balance Minimus. I prefer barefoot but when i have to cover my feet, i wear them!

exactly!

it's not going to be the fact that you are eating too much fruit that is hindering weightloss. It will be because you are eating more than you think. weigh your fruit...weigh and measure all of your food.

Love it!! When you finally find your inner strength, it's pretty amazing, right?

You say you have been on and off and nothing works. How long do you stay "on" before you decide it's not working? Have you tried calorie counting? Weighing and measuring everything? If you do that, and stay within your goals, it works. Cardio/weight training are great extras, but losing weight comes down to diet. Calories…

google will provide sites for "clean" recipes. there, that was helpful.

i am guessing the OP is just looking for some healthier recipes than she is used to eating. I am not a good cook, so I can't help you out. But just as a heads up, lables don't go over well. the best advice you will get from this will be eat less than you burn. and dont worry if something is clean or dirty. or wash your…

are you weighing everything? do you log everything you eat/drink?

How low calorie are you talking about? What i consider safe and healthy might be different than what you think.

Wow. Vegetarian and doing Keto? I wish you luck. I am sure someone who knows what you are going thru will pop in and give you some advice.

nope. i have never used one.

suggestion- don't wait to start weight training. start now. with the proper calorie intake and weight lifting program, you will reach your body goal faster.

motivation comes and goes. The want to be healthy and fit are what will keep you going.

Why are you doing a Keto diet? As far as feeling "fluffy" it could be just water. Are you eating less than you are burning?

you need to eat less than you burn to lose weight. so make sure you weigh and measure everything you eat/drink. HRM are great, but YOU need to put the work in to see results.

I have done the Whole 30. For me, it was more mental. I was at 70 pounds lost, and I had become lazy with logging and my eating was not where it should have been to lose the rest. I felt great on it, and sure lost some water weight too. But I did learn a lot about what types of food my body needs to fuel my workouts and…

are you using a food scale to weight everything? How long have you been trying to lose weight for?
