Plan a good snack for 6 pm. Maybe you need to eat at maintenance calories for a week... Then start a deficit again

:heart:

I think it is ok. They make cells that can call 911 and a few pre-programmed numbers. Like Mom and Dad cells, home phone and grandparents. They can't call any other numbers though. Perfect for children who might need something yet no abuse potential

I would advise weighing everything. Things like butter, oil, cheese and other high calorie foods add up quickly if you are over just a tiny bit

I had my implanon birth control removed

I bought a Victoria Secret bikini

Are you weighing all your food?

That I busted my *kitten* cleaning my house and car today

The more I say no and my reason why, the less people offer it. Work is like that, always bringing treats...

Dresses are great too. Just throw on a belt and it doesn't matter if it is two sizes too big :flowerforyou:

I bought my first real bikini, from Victoria Secret non the less. Up until this point, I have always bought boy short or little skirt bikinis.

I think sore muscles need to rest and repair themselves. That is why people don't work arms every day. If you are doing a normal cardio routine just to burn calories, why is it bad?

I don't eat many traditional carbs (pasta, potatoes, rice ect) when dieting. I eat enough carbs just from fruit and veggies. I find I am fuller and more satisfied like this

3500 calorie deficit equals one pound weight loss regardless of whether the 3500 calorie deficit happens over 4 days or a month.

:heart: :heart:

Kashi cereal has as much protein in 1 serving as two eggs

I log every little thing and about half my calories every day come from fruit and veggies. If I didn't log fruit and veggies, I would have to set my calorie limit at 600 calories a day. As someone else mentioned, a similar concept to weight watchers

Log everything, including hidden calories and make sure you aren't over counting how many calories you burn :flowerforyou:

Cheat days are special days in different ways to all of us . For me, I eat anything I want within my maintenance calories. That way i am not affecting my hard work that i put in. I am short so that gives me about 1800 calories of whatever I want. I save these days for special occasions like birthday parties.

Mmmm dead people

Use it like sour cream in soups, casseroles and topping

I get most of my carbs from fruit and veggies.

I don't normally eat back calories the day I exercise. The following day, I am ravenous though and allow myself a little more

When building muscle make sure you take measurements of your waist ect. I gain weight but lose inches when building muscle so at least I know I am making good progress and don't become discouraged

I am big into no excuses. My upcoming birthday is not a reason to pig out. Just because I work 12 hour shifts and commute is not a reason not to exercise and count calories. I have a lunch break. Add me if you like :)

I would look up the calories in a bottle on their website. Sometimes they list it.

I am not a vegetarian. I just don't eat meat all the time. It is so expensive and lots of cheap alternatives for protein. If time isn't an issue, catch some fish.

Chicken goes on sale here all the time for less than a dollar a pound. Carrots, celery, onions and brown or wild rice. Toss it all in a pot and make a fat pot of soup. Legumes are very cheap and high in protein. I don't like creamy split pea soup much but a nice chunky legume and veggie stew is delicious.

Roasted cauliflower? I love cold garbanzo beans with cumin, paprika and sometimes garlic. Carrot and raisin salad?

Your blood type has to do with your genetics. We aren't all exactly the same. I think there could be a correlation but haven't research chef it enough
