Eat the pizza. Eat a light breakfast to balance it out.

Preferably raw. If you must weigh cooked, make sure you use a cooked entry. The food weighs less for the same calories because the water was lost during the cooking process.

Weigh your food, try eating more protein and fat. Try not eating back as many of your exercise calories. But remember, even if your thyroid is your excuse, does that mean you give up? No, you'll have to work with what you got.

Yes, not worth it IMO. Still like a popcicle vs. ice cream and the chunks of cookie dough were tiny.

Taco seasoning! I can't tell a difference with turkey tacos. Meatballs I can but I don't mind it. Maybe making a meatball that's cooked in the sauce would help.

So much this. I love Happy Scale.

Download an app like Happy Scale, Libra or Trendweight. It will make an average out of the fluctuations. I can see in my graphs where I go up 3-4 lbs for TOM, or eat half a pizza and have a 6lb gain for a few days.

Meal prep a week's worth of lunches on Sunday! This week I'm having chipotle salmon burger patties, green beans and carrots. Packing your own lunch really helps control the calorie count and macros (protein, fat, carbs) vs. going out to grab lunch.

Diet for weight, exercise for health, both for body composition. Amazon has cheap scales.

Use your two days a week to lift, do cardio at home when you can. Your remaining 5 weeks, I'd get started on a lifting program that you can maintain 2x/week when you go back to work. You could also take this time to look into meal prep, different lunches you can make, if you don't already. Focus on your food to lose the…

Are your pants tight enough? I haven't experienced this, my pants stay PUT lol.

Probably nothing worth logging, IMO.

Not sure what the question is, but if you're asking if it's enough for weight loss, sure. Exercise is not required for weight loss. I agree with the above poster that I prefer to do strength first, so I can give it my all. I also get so sweaty during cardio that I don't want to go use any machines or benches... just…

This- Decide what you want beforehand and make sure it fits your goals.

Are you refering to the calories burned on your Fitbit? That's not the "burn" for the 4000 steps walked, it's your TDEE (calories burned for just being alive + activity).

Impossible to tell. That's why people tell you to weigh your food, not measure it. Depends how much you shoved in that cup (or not).

1/2lb bag of Rainier cherries that will probably disagree with me later.

McChicken with no mayo (mostly so they have to make a fresh one) and a small fry. 550 calories is still quite a bit for me as I am petite, but it's not going to make me go way over calories.

Get a french press!

No. I just really like to chew.

Weigh raw, use the USDA entries when possible.

They don't work. Invest in a food scale (they can be cheap! $10 or so) and weigh your food. That actually works.

Probably anywhere from 400-800. Take your best guess, or add in all the ingredients separately (2 slices bread, 4oz chicken, bacon, mayo, etc).

Shirataki noodles?

Blueberry mojito and pineapple! Grape is decent. Looking out for peach lemonade, but it's always sold out on Amazon.

Italian dressing.

Yesss that's what I want to hear!!

It's not worth it to log these things. Say you estimate 100 calories for your dusting. Then you don't weigh out your 100 cals of whatever to eat them back. Now you're cutting in to your deficit.

Download an app like Happy Scale or Libra, weigh daily- It will track a trend line for you, and give you averages so you can make more sense of daily and TOM fluctuations.

Finally got my hands on some Halo Top, lemon cake. OMG! A million times better than Arctic Zero. Actually creamy. Now I just need to find the birthday cake one.
