One thing is to make sure you pick the same state of your food when logging compared to how you weighed it. For instance, if you weigh out 8 oz of raw steak it will vary in weight when cooked depending on the level of doneness. So if you weigh 8oz raw log 8 oz raw, the difference between 8 oz steak raw and 8 oz of well…

I always start with a banana then add a handful of frozen berries, mango, or which ever fruit I have on hand. I then add almond milk (sometimes plain, vanilla, or dark chocolate), protein powder and blend. I got used to that mix when I started, and have since added at times 1/3 cup of spinach or 1/2 avocado or almond…

Same here, I have been doing well but feel all alone on here sometimes! All of my "real life" friends are already fit and don't seem to understand the struggle it can be to make such a huge life change. Add me!

It sounds like you are stressing yourself out way too much about it, and that does not help anyone lose weight! First of all, all of those "supplements" and "shakes" are not miracle weightloss products. The best way for you to lose weight is by wrapping your head around the idea that it takes time, but when you take the…

Swim! I had back surgery just over a year ago and struggled with this same issue. After being on bed rest for a few weeks I had gained a little weight back that I had worked really hard to lose pre-surgery and got discouraged. I was unale to walk even due to the impact on pavement, but once I got in the water I had little…
