  • My fiance and son are both picky eaters too, however, I try to involve them and find a compromise where possible. For example, my fiance likes to grill too so i'll have him grill up some chicken breast or fish with some fresh veggies. I'll make homemade burger patties and have tomato and lettuce available for the fixings…
  • As someone who suffered with an eating disorder throughout my mid to late teens, this is NOT okay. I felt exactly the same way - chained to the scale, i needed to work out like crazy every day (especially after eating) if my calories for that day went over 1000, I would feel so gross. I would find a medical professional…
  • I have the same issue with having a tough time meeting my caloric goals, at least when I'm not eating out at a restaurant ( I have the opposite problem there.. lol) I recently signed up with a personal trainer who gave me personalized macros, as well as weekly workouts. The calories and protein were much higher than what I…
  • I have to be careful weighing myself and logging because of a previous eating disorder. At that time, I was weighing myself 20+ times a day and gaining 1 lb would reduce me to tears and not eating the next day. It was bad. Things are different now, and I am trying to lose weight without obsessing over the details, so I…
  • Scales and measuring cups are something that you need. Many times i've found that I had been greatly underestimating or overestimating, and of course that messes up any calorie counting.
  • Saturdays are usually my "cheat" days. Due to our schedules, my fiance and I don't really get to spend much time with each other during the week so Saturday is our date night. We'll go to a restaurant or get a pizza, and I don't log anything. I don't go crazy and eat everything in sight, it's usually just a nice meal and…
  • Due to many hours of sitting playing video games, not watching what I eat, and then having a desk job, I can say that my fitness level is pretty horrible right now. I did my 2nd day of Insanity last night, and it went better than the first day. On the first day, I managed to do 17 minutes of the fit test before laying on…
  • If you view it as "dieting" and want it off fast, you will set yourself up for failure. It's not just about getting the weight off, you want to be sure that you can keep it off in a healthy way.You don't even have to do that much, just change habits, be more aware of what you are putting into your body, eat smaller…
  • Does that go well with quinoa? Because I really want to like quinoa, but it's not happening for me. Maybe it needs some wilted baby to make it taste delicious.
  • You don't have to make it so obvious that you want her to change to your lifestyle. If you love to cook, and she enjoyed your rich food, try and modify the recipes. Switch out some ingredients for healthier ones without sacrificing the taste. Don't make a big deal out of it. Have a cooking date where she picks a new…
