Are we the same person? When I'm in an egg mood, I'll also have about 1-2 a day. Scrambled with a variety of veggies, in sandwiches, on the side with rice. Yum! But right now I'm in the "not having any" phase.

French pressed light roast with chocolate and caramel notes. I'll either drink it black or shake up some califia hazelnut creamer and then top with coffee (leaves it foamy on top). If I'm ordering coffee, I'll drink a flat white or an Americano.

For warm weather: A random mix of greens to made the salad base, top off with pan seared chicken, a sharp cheese, hemp seeds, and a vinegar dressing. For cooler weather: A stew of vegetables(Tomato/Onion base with peas or cauliflower..etc) and protein(chicken or ground beef) paired with a grain(bulgur, jasmine. quinoa).

SW: 210 CW: 191 GW: 130 I lost count on how many times I've started over. This time is different. Every time I would completely reck my progress after one mess up. Not this time. I messed up last week and finally learned to forgive myself, get back up on that horse, and keep going! I also mended my relationship with food…

I just like water :( I found that always keeping it in front of me while I'm working or watching something helps. I end up mindlessly sipping on it. You can get your water intake other ways such as tea, coffee, soup, fruits.. You can try flavoring you water.

Thank you for sharing! Congratulations on job well done :) truly inspiring

Everyday. I just like having a ton of data on my progress chart. 😊 It's helping me learn how my weight fluctuates depending on the foods I eat. (sugary, salty) I'm going to start doing actual body measurements along with the scale weight.

Thank you both :smiley:

Hey there! I've been in your shoes before. Our cultures our very similar and it's built into our parents to offer us food. It's hard for them to change these habits so we have to do our part. Continue saying no but change your own mindset about it. It's not that you can't have what they are offering, tell yourself you're…

Honestly it depends on how I'm feeling and what day it is. If it's the weekend then I like to have a large breakfast, light lunch, and moderate dinner. If it's during the week and I'm heading to the office, either a really light breakfast or no breakfast,followed by a heavy lunch and maybe a light snack around 5. If I'm…

3 more pounds to go!

I didn't used to because of how embarrassed I was. I realized that wasn't right because like someone said before, your body is still counting even if you're not. Also, sometimes it's not as bad as you think when you look at your weekly average. You still could be under maintenence. So, don't be afraid. Information is power.

For me, stress works just fine.... D:

Exactly :) glad to give it back.

Yes, I suppose it would be impressive to you. This is how I do it: The type of tomatoes I eat always come around 200g more or less. So, I know what that tomato feels like in my hand. 90 g for me would feel like a little bit over 2 kind bars. So, it feels more like the weight of a tomato than two kind bars. Hopefully that…

Sorry, I wasn't literally talking about bringing a scale with me to starbucks. I ment weighing it at home. :p

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! You put my mind at ease. :)

I'm in!

I cannot agree enough with the pre-logging. It has gotten me through some very trying times. Also, speak with your parents. Tell them what having the food in the house is doing to you. There are two reasons for this. The first reason being, maybe your parents will lessen the amount of food they buy for the guest. This will…

You almost got it. :) 1. Weigh raw onion. [Lets say that's 95g = 40cals] 2. Weigh batter before dipping. [Assuming you know calories per gram already..lets say its 150g = 400cal] 3. Weigh batter after dipping. [Lets say you're left with 50g = 134 cals. So you used 100g = 266 cals] 4. Weigh pot of oil before frying and…

Here is what I have done before: (1) Overnight Oats - So many variations! (2) Multigrain Frozen Waffles + Natural Maple Syrup, Coffee, Scrambled Eggs. (I get all three going at the same time and it takes me about 10 mins) (3) PB Sandwich + Coffee (4) Soup - A little unconventional but I appreciate soup in the morning b/c…

This is the thread I didn't know I needed. 1. (This goes for more of the healthy eating rather than limiting calories) I hate that, if I take a break from healthy eating for more than a day, my face will break out like mad. 2. Im a consultant which also means I travel a lot. I hate that my team uses dinner as a time to…

Everyday. Or at least I try for everyday. I used to get so frustrated at my lack of weight loss when I weighed in once a week. When I started weighing everyday I stared to see the bigger picture and it has made me more accepting of fluctuations.

I calorie count for weight loss. I do intermittent fasting to help me keep full and stick to my caloric deficit. :)

Anything high sugar or high sodium. Which last time meant strawberry patbingsu and pizza. :)

It's frustrating right now but when it ends is the most exciting! You see all that water weight drop off and then some!

UPDATE: Three days later and I lost all that water weight and an extra 0.2lbs!

This is possible. My calendar says it was supposed to end yesterday but it could always be a little off. Also very true. :)

You know, the temperature has been pretty high the past few days. We had a heat warning yesterday. You're right, 4lbs is within normal fluctuations it just never was my normal until today. :) Thank you! Yes it does suck! Thank you, I'm not going to let this keep me down and will keep it going. :) I had to glance at my…

I took a shower yesterday and noticed I was able to wrap my towel fully around my body! :) Also, my jeans that I bought a few months ago, I barely fit into them and I now can fit in them comfortably.
