Absolutely. You can technically lose weight eating only fast food if you’re in a calorie deficit. I’m just looking to be encouraged and inspired with different meal ideas and things without the temptation to purchase a bunch of foods that are highly processed.

Oops. Sorry for being vague. I mean like social media accounts - like instagram users (I hang out on Facebook but see reels from the IG account smaller_sam.pcos or Facebook account amber weight loss coach). Their accounts are super inspiring but I was hoping to find some accounts that placed more of an emphasis on eating…

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions/tips/tricks. I think I’m going to test it out this week. Just gonna bite the bullet and make 4-5 salad jars and try it out. I could just make one and save it for Friday but I’m all or nothing 😅 (one of my troublesome traits haha) Also, I’m doing a little research I read that soaking…

Thanks everyone I can hardly wait! Which is bad because they have only just begun clearing the land 🤣 it’s gonna be awhile 😅

I think I know who you're talking about!! I had it saved or was following it for the longest time, so I went to find it on here today and I couldn't :( yeah let me know what you find, if anything! My dad's diabetic and I'm trying to keep my calories low so thought I'd try to kill two birds with one stone. Thanks!

I also love the sweet chili!! They are a great alternative to the doritos sweet spicy chili!! Hopefully somebody can give me a cheeto puff type snack to try because for some reason I am SO into puffs lately haha (no, not pregnant!)
-
this is a fantastic idea! thank you! also a fantastic idea!! love it! I usually use greek yogurt and a bit of butter with some garlic powder in my "famous" redskin potatoes. Family is used to sour cream and the other day I pulled the ol' switcheroo and nobody noticed! Phew! I'll have to try the cottage cheese trick for…

Haha thanks for getting it! ;)

Crap I meant ARE enjoying your popcorn. Fail
-
Hope y’all aren’t enjoying your popcorn 🤦🏻♀️😂 Lol pinching my arm fat - we always horse around with each other so that isn’t weird to me 🤷🏻♀️ I grab at him and he grabs at me. Arm fat, tummy fat, butt grab - it’s playful and affectionate 99.9% of the time. We’re just goofy. And no I wasn’t going to defend him for the…

😂 it did turn into that 🤦🏻♀️ Thanks for the motivation and support. I’m bringing out the dumbbells to start some strength training!
-
Oh goodness. Where do I start? Seeing as the reason I started this thread has gone off the tracks (but really, it’s ok, I’ve gotten the reassurance I needed), I’m going to take a moment to say a few things on the subject that has derailed this whole thread, and maybe in the process enlighten some of y’all: My husband,…
-
Btw, meant to tell you - YOU GO GIRL!!! Proud of you :)
-
Girl, I am not your sis. You can take your negativity elsewhere. I won't even stoop to defend my husband because I don't have to explain myself to you. Bye Felicia!
-
No stairs but I will start incorporating some muscle building exercises soon. I’m going to start working on my arms with some dumbbells first I think. I figured I’d start making my bike a “brainless” habit for a few weeks so as not to overload myself with too many changes at once. I know losing weight and keeping it off is…
-
I’m so glad I decided to post here. I was hesitant because I was worried everyone would bash my husband. I was pleasantly surprised that most of you respected me by respecting my husband, so thank you for that! He’s a little rough around the edges and can’t always put into words what he means, but he sure does love me (and…

Forgot to attach my photo. Mm it was so good!

No I haven't complained about the weight. I commented laughingly to our family at a picnic that I was so dedicated to losing the weight that I've skipped the mayo on my sub, or to him that I don't have it in my calorie budget for a glass of wine or something like that, but I haven't whined and complained about feeling fat…

Hello ladies, just wanted to give a quick intro. My name is Ellie. I'm 28 and I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and my husband's first. Our daughter is 9 so it's been quite a while since I've been pregnant (I say "our" because he really has taken her on as his own :) ). My first pregnancy I was young and…

@Spliner1969 I'm with you. It was AWFUL and tasted icey like water with chocolate syrup. HaloTop = :heart:

Question: Assuming I eat at maintenance level, do you think I should eat back calories from exercise? Or, if I don't eat them all back, at least allow myself to eat part of them if I get hungry?
-
@WMLizard Aww congrats to you too!! That's awesome - 2 months no gain? Lol c'mon baby, eat off my reserves :D :tongue: Ideally I would have liked to get in better shape beforehand (I mean, I was going to lol) but I kind of let go for the holidays as my last hurrah and then was going to hit it hard with fitness and…
-
@25agirard Thank you! And yes, babies are amazing! This is actually going to be my 2nd, but it's a totally different ball game this time around. First time I was 18 and unmarried, so she was unplanned - but my goodness that girl is the best thing that ever happened to me. My husband loves her as his own (she is totally…
-
Well here's some irony for you guys. Bought the book on Amazon yesterday. Ready to get started, get sexy, rock a bikini... That evening, I took a pregnancy test because I'm 4 days late and my boobs HURT. 5 weeks prego :D LOL!! Still going to read the book but obviously I'll have to talk to my doc about proper nutrition and…

Do you happen to know if cooked kale will still work ? I have a kale recipe that tastes like collard greens that I love (basically slow cook in lentil soup - though I’d have to check carb count on that)
-
Well actually both now that I think about it. I usually go 2-3 times a day, now I’m going only twice and not having much luck :(
-
Amount I do. Currently I am on 1300 calories - 25% carb 35% fat 40% protein. I don’t worry if I go over my fat by a bit and I don’t always meet my protein goals, may come within 10g some days
-
I recently just upped my calories to 1300 and some days I’ll eat back some or most of the calories from working out (usually not much - 57 calories) but I finish my day with a yummy protein shake after I do my calisthenics. Thanks to the forums I’m getting acquainted with the concept of recomping and adjusting my calories…
-
Oh that makes me feel much better!

I need a beer :D
