  • I feel all late to the party lol. Ok: CW: 140lbs GW: 130-132lbs I hit a plateau followed by vacation for 2 weeks so it's time to get back on track! Switching up the exercise with some HIIT and eating a pescatarian-ish diet (mainly no land animals). Halloween costume ideas: Princess Jasmine as a throwback to my favorite…

  • My advice to her wasn't bad at all. I encouraged her to eat the 1500-1600 and burn to reach the 1,200 net if she so desired.

  • The bad fats are the saturated and trans fats so like jacksonpt said, change your settings under the food tab to show them as categories on your reports. My reports show fat and saturated fat since I know almost everything I eat is trans free. Good Luck!
