A little thing that has helped me change my thinking: Realizing that my goals are very attainable. I've been watching extreme makeover weightloss edition. If people can lose a ton of weight in 90 days, whats 14 lbs. (or roughly 1 lb a week). Just gotta fight for it! BTW, if I reach my october goal, I am buying a triangl…

Another idea, make it at home with healthier ingredients eg. for the burger you could make it out of super lean ground beef, and if you need the bun enjoy it or opt for a lower calorie bun. or eat it with lettuce. can make it with light cheese and dijonaise (i haven't tried it, but I heard its really yummy if you love…

So should I ignore macros and hit calories, or just stick with macros

\ Hey, I live in Calgary too. Whats the name of the delivery service. I'm really curious?

Try strength training. more muscle = more calorie burn EVERY DAY (not just when you work out)

Tried the "chocolate spread" (aka chalky nasty salty goo) and "Marshmallow dip" (chemical white goop). I would try their syrup but I really don't want to waste another 6 dollars on something I'm gonna end up throwing out. Btw does anyone know if the syrup any better than ED Smith light syrups?

Thanks for the advice. I figured my small coffee wouldn't make my caffeine levels out of wack. I also haven't been able to sleep much so that is not fun (brain doesn't shut off at night) Another quick question: what do you suggest eating the day after you haven't been able to sleep. Same food as always or do you switch…

In response to strongbow not being the same: Have you tried Angry Orchard's Cider? Deliciousness..... Its a abit sweet but I like it a lot. Also I dunno why it is mentioned on the bottle, maybe other cider's have gluten, I dunno, but its gluten free (really doesn't matter to me, but might to some)

I would suggest bigger meals. Snack foods can tend to be processed. I haven't had a look at your food diary so maybe you eat really clean snacks. Also, I am not super healthy myself and eat a lot of processed junk and sometimes not the best "meals" and snack a lot at night, so I should probably follow my own advice ...…

Watermelon Chopped tomato with cottage 2:1 ratio with italian flavoring soooooo good Dulce de lece (spelling?) jello pudding (60 calories but so good) Pumpkin applesauce muffins (have a recipe that comes out to around 85 calories per decently sized muffin) oatmeal -- add a bit of extra water, or shredded carrots (carrot…

That is my theory too, plus I know my physical activity varies so much from day to day that I would rather log my excercise than have it added in for me.

So if you don't stick with these tips, the results may or may not be permanent, but to help you out for before vacay: 1. Cut out Salt 2. Drink more water 3. Cut down on carbs (this one is debatable as you still need energy, so don't do this for long, this just drops water weight) 4. Don't eat after dinner (if you can, or…

You can also buy protein peanut butter. Normally has whey or some other protein added to give a protein kick. Haven't personally bought this yet, plus I also tend to go a bit crazy on peanut butter. If I meet my next weightloss goal for end of August, I'm gonna try nuts n' more. Plus they have some delicious looking…

I would but I just looked up this supplement and it says it can lower blood sugar, and cause dizziness. Both of these I've been having problems with. How long did it take for you to feel better? I'm wondering if maybe my body just needs to readjust or something?

Look up pizza dough crust for relatively the same size pizza (would've been better if you weighed it) and pizza sauce. Log in MFP.... DONE! mwahahaha

Yea I don't like to buy things like crackers and coookies that don't come in single size servings. and yea I moved the crackers over from last night, after I worked out and was ridiculously hungry. Definitely not a wise choice... whoops. I am trying to figure out how to do eat more nutritionally. I understand that everyone…

Peanut Butter - Smooth Raw Almonds Raspberries Cauliflour Special K Granola Btw, it there anyway to delete data. Because this information is from like 2-3 years ago, now I would say I only really have raspberries and cauliflour frequently. So haha yea....

Hey, you can add me!

Do you just mean the time wise its unreasonable. Still 3 months to lose 2 sizes. I'm curious about iifym. I have no idea what my macros should be plus I'm training for a half marathon, so even though most of the time it suggest doing low carb, that is definitely not gonna work in my situation.

If you like any kind of pudding, you would love the dulce de leche pudding (jello brand) its sugar free fat free but absolutely does not taste like it. Its so good, but also really addictive. In fact, I really want to buy more now... but then I'll probably eat all 6 snack cups in 2 days because thats how much I love it.

Any more advice?

Thanks for the advice. I find it difficult to spread out my intake, but I will try.

I DON'T have a nutritionist/health care people. The reason I have recovered is because I have somehow been able to force myself to stop. I just need some advice from normal people cause I don't know what/how much I should be eating. Like what a normal person's everyday intake is.
