It's a very hard time for me! Yesterday I may have stumbled upon a trick I want to share!!! Have a cherry and then keep the pit in your mouth while prepping and putting stuff away! It seemed to help me last night! I will try it again tonight. If you try it let me know how it goes. I don't like to chew gum so that never…

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? I had a hard evening. Had a few too many nuts. Will try and do better tonight.

Not sure but I thinks it's a great idea! What time of day do you have the most trouble with? Mine is dinner prep and after dinner. Maybe we can check in to see how we are doing at that time?

Okay....seriously....best idea so far!!!! Adding xanthium to my shake!!! Like pudding!!!!!! AMAZING!!! Thank you. What combos do you make?? Thank you thank you thank you

Used to live cottage cheese and peanut butter!! Any vegan protein is high in fat !! Then my fat is over the limit. I set me macros at 40/30/30, but am always over in carbs bc of veggies and salads. Vegan proteins are high in fat albeit lower in carbs. No win situation. Maybe duct tape! Lol....trying a protein shake with…

Good idea...however this brings my carbs even higher as I am vegan and rely on veggies and salads ALOT...I am always over my carbs bc of my veggies

Sw: 138 CW: 138 GW: 125 Did one week of MFP....had to be more strict with logging. I am also 5'3" which makes a difference when saying your stats.

I wish I can do this!! I try and have dinner as a family and wait u till my husband gets home which is usually around 6;30. By then I have been gone for an hour....hungry...making dinner and snacking and picking while I prep dinner....not good...then I eat less at dinner bc I feel bad thinking I really shouldn't eat dinner…

Me kitchen is open concept literally within steps to my living room where I spend time with the family after dinner. You have a good idea though, the kids want something after dinner they can go get it...not me...staying out of the kitchen that way

I try not to buy the sweets instead I bake so my family has healthier sweets in the house. I just need to stay away from them! Also I realized I. A not being nuts in the house. Too dangerous for me. Thank you for your advice

Thank you for all the ideas on how not to snack after dinner. I will surely give them a try

Cool here we go..... Start Weight (July 25): 138! Goal Weight (Sept 5): 125 Actual: Total weight loss goal: 13lbs Weigh-ins (week of...): July 25: 138 Aug 1: Weight -/+ this week: Aug 8: Weight -/+ this week: Aug 15: Weight -/+ this week: Aug 22: Weight -/+ this week: Aug 29: Weight -/+ this week: Sept 5: Weight -/+ this…

Yes I am in!!!! That goal is perfect for me as well!!! And it's doable!! What should we do? I have never joined a challenge before. Weigh in same time every week? Post our numbers? Is this on a public or private board? I am in all the way, just need some direction

I am vegan and always seem to go over my carb allotment. Having lots of veggies puts you over the top. Protein is practically impossible to reach. Technically you only need 0.8g/kg. So I aim for 50 grams. Didn't want to go to vegan type protein shakes but besides tofu and tempeh (higher fat and Lower carb) getting enough…

Hello fellow serial dieter! Been there done than dieter. Tried them all from the Atkins (didn't work bc I am vegan) grapefruit and cabbage soup diet to weight watchers , MFP, juicing for 10 days etc....lost the weight and regained it! Why is this time different you ask?? I want balance with carbs into my meals and still be…

Weight does fluctuate with water retention as well. Usually within the first week of watching what you eat you can loose alot of water weight, then the fat starts to go and as we all know losing fat is harder and takes longer, therefore lower numbers on the sale after the first week or so. Sometimes my weight will…

thank you :)

yup Vegan here....hows it going? are you able to get all your protein in withuot going to the soy products? I had to result to make shakes during the day with my meals. what about you?

Hi my name is Jodi and I have been a vegan for the past 2 years and a vegetarian for the past 7. It is not easy to reach your protein macros being a vegan as well as stay on the lower end of the carbs to lose the weight. have managed to somedays do better than others. how are you doing getting in your protein being a vegan?

So as I see it, here are my options: 1) no dinner or switch to something like Slimfast for dinner 2) salads only for lunch with light or no dressing 3) Stop having rest days (so, bump up my workouts to everyday) 4) set calories to 1000 per day? 5) eat packaged meals so that I'm absolutely sure of the calorie count If you…

my pleasure for the advice I have lots of recipes:smile:

Me again :) I also make vegan ice cream with fozen bananas, mixed in my cuisinart and i put in a couple of Tablespoons of PB2 (powdered peanut butter but half the calories 45 and 1.5g of fat) then I sprinkle a tsp of mini vegan chocolate chips....1/4 c after dinner is such a treat and satisfied my sweet tooth craving:)

I love chocolate and usually crave it everyday so this is what I do: Vega One- all in one chocolate protein powder, mix it up and then partially freeze it, then enjoy with a spoon bc the sides have frozen so you scrape them off and its like a chocolate snow cone...but good for you:) lots of protein Vegan chocolate pie made…

Body fat percentage is one way to determin if you are losing fat and gaining mucle. The scales that you stand on with bare feet uses bioelectrical impedence, that is a current running up one leg down to the other. The faster it travels the less body fat you have and the lower the number the sclae will read. However, a…

YES CRISTAL LIGHT IS VERY VERY BAD FOR YOU!!! I know it flavours your water so you end up drinking more water which is very important in the weight loss journey. But aspertame is terrible terrible terrible. It actaully crosses the blood brain barrier and can cause MS like symptoms if you drink ALOT of it like it did a few…

Thank you everyone for your honest support and fantastic advice!! What a great community load with so much info. I use the calorie displayed on my treadmill and elliptical machines (both Precor) but then I subtract about 50 calories from that an input it into the cardiovascular section of tracking. The food I find is the…

OOPPSS :) sorry..... I recently read another post and my caloric intake they suggested which is 1300 may be too high for weight loss even though I am doing alot of excercise......so I changed my info and put it lower not going under 1200cal per day as I heard that was just unhealthy. but thank you about the info on the…

Thank you answering so quickly I love this:) I have a gym in my basement and I have a personal trainer. I am just finishing off a 5 week program of heavier weights:) Good call btw:) but the jeans are tight!!! not losing inches. My trainer just took measurement yesterday. But I would have though I would at least feel it in…

good afternoon to all:) I too am somewhat new to this calorie counter, I am a memeber since January 2013. I am also following Weight Watchers. I am using MFP to make sure I get enough calories and enough nutrients since I am a vegan. I am 5'3 and presently weigh 135.4!!! I would love to lose 5 lbs!! but th scale is not…
