I have also found good success with Whitehouse BlackMarket Jeans. Great quality and I never buy them full price, they always have jeans on clearance for $20-$50. They make a few styles so I have to just try them on, But I own about 3 pair and love THem!

^^^^ this and I also second the comment about how there are no good or bad foods, just good or bad portion sizes. And those portion sizes are dictated by personal goals on a very individual basis.

OP I'm in the moderation club, I abide by this rule. Step one Calories in verses calories out Step two is Macros Step three is Micros Step one is all about learning to balance calories, eat what ever you want but at a deficit. Don't worry about what the food is made of or how healthy it is or how many vitamins are in it.…

The OP Is already having trouble with restriction and this advice is to restrict further? That is nonsensical.

A quote to live by, "weight loss is slow, don't make it slower by quitting"

I have stopped logging everything for a while. I found that logging was making me crazy to a point of just wanting to give up because I was obsessing over every single thing I ate. So I stopped. Instead I measure and weigh most things to make sure I am eating only one serving and then I sort of keep a running total in my…

what about OH Joy OH Joy Creations The OH Joy Creative oh being for your guys initials.

This includes Fruit and veggies some staples are avocado $.60 ea bananas $.50 ea tomatoes $.80 lb Apples $1.29lb Strawberries (on sale right now) $1.74lb Salad kits $2.00 ea carrots 2lb bag $.99ea Broccoli $.99lb sweet potatoes/yams $1.50-$.99lb Chicken (I buy…

And regardless, no matter how it is classified, whatever name is given, the person suffering requires help. Psychological and physical. It is up to the individual suffering though (personal accountability anyone??) to realize this and acquire the necessary help. Anyone who says they are helpless is fooling themselves.

Do I think food addiction is real? No. Do I think Eating Disorders are real? Yes. What are these articles talking about? The answer would be an eating disorder. Binge eating is a disorder. Not an addiction.

The very most important lesson I have learned about weight loss, is that it takes so much longer than you think it is going to take. which is a sad reality. and Generally, plateaus are only plateaus if they last something like a month or two with no weight loss. And that is only if you are 100% certain that your math…

There are two options. 1. Stop smoking pot, which would result in less ice cream eaten which would result in a bigger deficit which would result in bigger weight loss or 2. Be happy that you have a routine (that hopefully is something you see yourself doing for the rest of your life) that allows you to eat icecream every…

I allow myself ice cream every night for this very reason. I buy the small little pre portion cups that are for kids (110 calories per cup) lol then I put a glob of pb2 chocolate (reconstituted with water) on top and go and enjoy it. Knowing I get ice cream every night if I want makes it so I don't binge anymore, and…

I just want to add a few things... I signed up for personal training because I wanted to learn correct form and how to properly get into weight lifting. I had to tell my trainer a few weeks in a row (we only meet once a week) that I wanted to be over in the weights section. He finally realized that I didn't just want to do…

I lost four pounds before Christmas gained two back and it took all of January to get those two pounds back off. I am now, as of this morning back where I started a week before Christmas. Four pounds is great. Don't discount that.

Disney has amazing restaurants, don't miss out on that experience for fear of calorie intake. I ate mainly fruit and power bars for breakfast and lunch and then we would hit up one fabulous restaurant for dinner each day. Had some of the best food in my life the week I was there. I only gained one pound because the…

I like Greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese it ends up being around 20 grams of protein for about 250 calories or so.

If you were to burn about 250 calories a day and then eat them back that would bring your numbers up to be compatible with TDEE minus -250 calories which would result in .5 lb a week, MFP and TDEE are right about the same. ETA- they are at least within a 100 calorie margin.

First off, waay interesting! Secondly, what I gathered (correct me if I am wrong) along with many points others have mentioned, is that A serving of nuts LABELED 150 calories, and a brownie that is also LABELED 150 calories may be incorrectly labeled on a personal level because the nuts are not fully absorbed/used where as…

My favorite is taking frozen berries and nuking them til they are bubbly, and then dumping that over my cooked oats. Its like berry cobbler. DELISH!

I can tell you I was losing nicely right before Christmas. I quit working out for about a week over holidays and enjoyed myself. Come the new year I was up 2 pounds. No biggie, figured I could lose it in two or so weeks. HOWEVER I also started doing a compound lifting program. It took me from new years until now to start…

Muscle soreness is pretty normal during strength training. I look forward to being super sore, if I am not sore I know I need to push harder next time. I am always sore the day after and even more sore the second day after, on the third day it starts getting better and then by the time I am healed its time to do it again.…

My current favorite is to make one packet of Nature's Path Flax Plus Organic Oatmeal packets. They are the instant oatmeal packets which makes it easy to take to work. Then I nuke 1 cup of frozen berries until they break down and get all juicy, dump this into the oatmeal and stir. It is absolutely delicious! and comes in…

I am the same exact way, I have found that breaking my calories into smaller groups has helped a lot that way I can eat more frequently. so I break my 1600 calories into groups of 150-200 calories. that way I get to eat more often. The thought of Intermittent Fasting freaks me out. edited to add. I too pre package food.…

my very favorite thing as of late is oatmeal with berries. I do Nature Path's organic instant oatmeal packets because they are easy to take to work. And then I take a cup of frozen berries and nuke them in the microwave for a couple minutes until they break down and get all Juicy, Then I dump the berries over my oatmeal…

I tried the whole morning work out. I found that I cant work out as efficient in the mornings. My body doesn't wake up very fast. My evening work outs were so much more effective than my morning ones ever were.

I have the Jawbone UP which is the same type of device just a different brand. I tried doing MFP calorie counting and it was frustrating, then found the TDEE method and all calculators say I range between 1700-2200 calories burned So I upped my calories and still wasn't losing weight. Got the Up band, and realized that I…

Wouldn't you be counting that fat anyways as it is part of the strip of bacon? I say, don't let those calories go to waste!

I have two, in 60 days you are going to look back and wish you had started (made better decisions etc) today. and Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it, the time will pass anyways.
