Do you guys eat out a lot? When I properly log my food I never reach the sodium max. I'm lucky if I get above 1100. I if you look at my diary I've been going over lately, but only because I've been eating out. Stuff like hot pockets, salted nuts and stuff at school. I'm usually around 1000 or something.

I spent half the day eating cake! Yesterday I stayed within my calorie limit, but I didn't eat anything but cake until the evening! Life goes on. I just say tomorrow is a brand new day. I've messed up more times than I can count! You can get through it. You don't have to always eat perfect.

I eat 1500 and burn 300. Thus my NET calories are 1200. I find this makes my life easier. I'm glad the desktop version shows NET calories because sometimes I over burn. I have my calories on here at 1500.

This is normal for starting. I lost 10 my starting week. It is just water weight.

I find having one is a lot of fun. I also have the Aria scale and I use my Fitbit to track my sleep too. I find it very motivating.

My first goal is to lose the 20 pounds I gained back from being reckless.

Sugar saps nutrients from the body. You need SOME sugar of course. Naturally occurring sugars are the best like in fruit. I personally feel awful the morning after consuming too much sugar. Usually it is refined processed sugar that makes me feel like that. I have done 2 sugar detoxes in my lifetime and both times when I…

My sister nearly got diabetes from drinking wine. I think sometimes people forget it is a sugary drink.

Too bad carbonated tea doesn't exist.

When I'm on track I eat 1500 and burn 300. Therefore I net 1200 which is practically the same. I just don't go hungry.

Goal: no snacks after 9pm. Me: 1 LNS: 0 Streak: none yet!

Motivation is the beginning of commitment. :smile: I just need a jumpstart. :smile:

I work at Cinnabon! Now that is a struggle!

Woohoo! Great job!

Hey, all are welcome. I add everyone pretty much. lol.

Lemon juice. Drink lots of lemon juice. It helps dissolve them. And I mean pure lemon juice or lemon water.

This is the only ice cream I buy now! Love the lemon cake and mint chip the most!

I'm saying 120 right now, but honestly I won't know until I get lower.

When I started I had 84 pounds to lose, now I'm 7 pounds from my half way point which is 42. Used to weigh 204 and now I weigh 169.

If you haven't heard of the girl who can't gain weight no matter how hard she tries look up Lizzie Velasquez.

I eat around 1500, but burn 300 a day. Therefore my net calories are always 1200 or close.

It worked for me and I was able to keep it off until I got reckless eating habits again. I'm not encouraging the diet, not by a long shot, it's just there is more to it than meets the eye. It's far more than just restricting calories. Your nutrition has to be spot on or you can do serious damage. I had no ill side effects,…

Well, it's not at the gym, but I was heading to the gym.

I try to eat 1500 and burn around 300. Works for me. I figured out a long time ago that just eating 1200 a day is proposterous. Especially with my lifestyle. I'm pretty active.

The only time I experienced this type of coldness was when I botched a diet plan and screwed up my nutrition.

It's just beginning water weight. I lost 10 pounds in one week when I started.

I try to NET 1200 but I eat around 1400.

Hopefully never.

It's true you can't spot exercise, but I think also eating healthy helps get rid of stomach fat.
