Great input all! I finally had a woosh and am down 2 lbs. I had just started getting focused with my work outs and yesterday used the food scale & o think it will help for sure!! I also started yoga! Which is great! I will talk to my Dr as well but the issue I’m having with TTC has to do with something non dieting or…

Thanks, I’m technically overweight BMI stats. I think under 145 is “normal” so it’s frustrating.... but I guess since I only need to lose 15# it will be a game of patience. Would something like Keto or lower carbs help??

Look on Amazon there’s some great books on the topic. Also, there’s a great blog on “how to eat like a normal person” based on a guy who wrote a book to quit smoking that can be applied to eating. Also eating Whole Foods you crave gives your body the nutrients it needs. If you crave sugar, have some fruits? Dry fruit,…

Hi all I was on WW wagon the most I lost was like 4lbs then got stuck at 145 I am back to 148, and I want to tone up and trim some for a wedding next month :) I’m in if there’s a new group starting! Are you all planning on simply counting calories? What’s all your goals and such? I get kind of confused with all the advice…

Great job! You look amazing

Congrats!! You look great ☝

Hi! I’m curious to know more about the fasting part. Is there some science behind that? Great job! Thanks for sharing :)

Hi all, so I injured my back over the weekend & haven’t been able to move much for 3 days now :( I was thinking of going back to weight watchers. I’m not sure why I can’t seem to stick to a darn program lately! My weight has literally been a bouncing ball these days. Up from 147 to 149! Down to 147 then back to 148.…

Hi all! Nice to read about everyone’s progress to know I’m not alone. I did a lot of hiking & activity over the weekend so it’s not a surprise my appetite is up! But I also had wine over the weekend, so I am net zero. I think I need to focus solely on calories rather then carbs for a bit. I’m focusing on both and am making…

Thanks, @LivingtheLeanDream! Do you go by MFP calculations? I think I need to take a simpler more straight forward approach. I’m not sure how many cals I need. Sad bc I am up today .. this week I’ve been using a hormone cream and a side effect is weight gain. Eek! I’m going to not use this again! And not be too hard on…

Thank you for the warm welcome!! Does anyone else here need to watch carbs & sugars, as well as cals? Or are you successful simply watching cals..?

Hi All! Can I join here? I am just slightly over my maintenance so I want to lose maybe 10lbs. I got married last year @ goal weight and gained about 10lbs since then. Not awful but not great either. The hard part is my job is indoors & my husband & I are also trying to have a baby. I’m 37 so I’m trying to stay hopeful &…

Hi all! & Welcome! Shall we do weekly weigh-ins on Tuesdays? (I hate Monday weigh ins lol... ) I weigh in daily typically, but we can just report in weekly. Hope everyone had a great weekend! I did not track on purpose as we went on a weekend trip. On a plus I booked over 20k steps yesterday! So I’m not expecting to lose,…

Thanks! :)

I do have a food scale but needs new batteries, I tend to scan in everything if it comes packaged (i was surprised to find even that can be off, so i adjust). I might be eating more- so yes I will change my goal settings, and see what happens. Thanks! :)

Saturday was an exceptionally crazy hiking day where I walked/hiked/rock climbed for 6 hours, so I lowered the amount of time to 200 minutes to account for it, although I was incredibly sore / bruised yesterday and today ravenously hungry. I will try to cut back on treats, especially alcohol... but isn't a calorie a…

Just a quick update.. I was careful to track every bite/taste/thing yesterday. came in just over 1700 (have been soo hungry lately!), and am actually down slightly today.. so Yes i think it was water-weight, and i also think the little extra cals might be what my body/metabolism needs, esp around workout days and since im…

I have opened up my Diary... feedback welcome :)

Thanks for relating.. I honestly think I wasn't eating enough on workout days. I found a good place calculating my needs based on various activity days which is really good and i will keep it handy. I should be eating min of 1500 i think, and a little more on workout days. Opposed to the 1200-1300 nonsense which kept me…

Thanks. I think I might actually need to up my cals a little bit. I see when I was losing earlier i was eating 1500-1700 with an occasional 1900 day here and there with a workout (now I am eating 1200-1300, plus all the activity... thinking it will speed things along). But im feeling bloated and weird in my middle area..…

Thanks for the feedback. I have been around 164-166 since March 27th... so just about 1 month now. Here are my weights for an idea: July 2013 apx 198 Aug 2013 apx 190-195 Oct 2013 apx 175 Nov 2013 apx 174 Dec 2013 apx 170 Jan 2014 apx 167 Feb 2014 up and down... March 2014 apx 165 April (present) stalled around 164-166...…
