If you're not watching macros, then yes you can do this. I do, & it works for me. I can't imagine eating the exact same # of cals every single day. This method is kind of like "zig zagging". You can search for it on here if you want to know more about it.

Hubs bought me Thin Mints yesterday (my faaave). I'm eating them a serving at a time & not feeling guilty about it. :)

I took it for a couple months last year...I lost weight but always felt jittery, picked up a case of insomnia, & sounds weird but I swear it was the reason for my intolerable (at the time) back problems. Some days I could hardly get out of bed because my back hurt so bad. Picking up my baby & doing household chores were…

Thanks for the responses! I want to be healthy overall, but was wanting to know just how much I should be making sure I don't go into the red on the macros. Last night I snacked a lot, & ended up going over fat, sodium, & sugar. I tend to get OCD about being "in the red" on any #'s (besides protein & fiber), so I was…

Anyone?

I am :) my daughter is 18 months.

I like it. Thanks for sharing :)

Definitely the best one i've used!

Awesome idea! I change the info if I'm entering from the site & see that it's not correct. Wish we could change it from the phone though, that's where I log from most!

Well this was nice to read. Mature men. :flowerforyou:

Love roasting veggies as well! I make roasted garlic broccoli-so good. I didn't even like broccoli until I roasted it!

I am the exact same way. I'm going to start adding my food in the night before & ONLY eat what's in my diary (except for the occasional last minute switch if I don't really know where were going for dinner, etc.) Hoping this will help!

What ^ they said :)

Any kind of mexican food! & brownies. <-- My weakness. I try to incorporate them in moderation, but sometimes it doesn't work out so well. :/ I tend to not want to stop after the recommended serving size!

It's fine as long as you stay within your calorie goal. :)

I was in pretty good shape before I got preg & then at 5 mos., out of no where, I was VERY pregnant. I gained around 40 lbs really fast in those next couple months, & it really took a toll on my skin. I have lots of stretch marks, loose skin, & now a c-section scar. I'm not expecting to ever look like I did before I had my…

^ Couldn't of said it better!

Great thread! I believe in everything in moderation. :)

I'm pretty much on the same schedule. I'm a stay at home mom & I live around my 16 month old's schedule (except I have insomnia so I usually go to sleep around 4am & wake up around noon). Hasn't bothered my weight loss as long as I stay within my calories.

Thank you for all of your great suggestions & advice! I really appreciate it. If i want to slowly reduce carbs/not cut them out completely at the beginning, what should my daily carb intake be? & should my protein go up? I'll be honest & say I haven't really looked at macro-nutrient numbers since I've started here, only…

Thanks guys!

Yum! Thanks for all the recipes guys! Can't wait to try them :)

Totally read my mind! lol. It is so so annoying, esp. when the people telling me all I can eat are salads & grilled chicken are obese & care to do nothing about it. It's their life & I'm not trying to judge them for not wanting to lose, but I sure as heck don't want them telling me how to lose! Esp. when they have that…

U Pick 2 broccoli cheddar soup & bbq chopped chicken salad= so good.

Thank you all so much for your responses!

This is an awesome topic & I'm really glad it was asked. Loved reading all of the responses. I'm struggling with this right now. I've struggled with weight & my image all my life. I hardly ate in high school (& when I did it was usually a salad), & would run at the track every night. I was one of those that thought I…

^ This!

Amazing! You look great!

Not to be rude, but I think something else may have caused this issue, unless you overdosed on them. I know many people with great success while taking OxyElite & I have taken them as well. Had no side effects other than the energy I needed & a bit of an appetite suppressant...which is why I wanted to take them in the…

I do but only record it 1 day a week
