Feel free to add me. Long history of struggling with this behaviour since childhood (and I’m in my 40s now). Right now I’m in a better place but a month ago I was struggling to get myself to this place.last year my health and fitness routines took a hit when I had a major health issue which hindered my energy level and…

I love halo! I can’t have dairy and the grocery store near me started carrying the non dairy version. Of the non dairy (made with coconut milk) my favorite is chocolate (so creamy). Also liked cinnamon swirl. Not a fan of chocolate-banana though (after taste).

When I indulge in office treats, which we have in the office here quite frequently (doughnuts, candy all the time, chips bagels etc) I feel terrible. I try to let that guide my decision making but it doesn't always work. Sometimes i smell the doughnut or think about the chocolate and I just cave in; it can be so hard. One…

good evening. started paying attention to MFP again after gaining a bit over the holidays and am finally embarking on my final five. my pitfall is food and worse yet, i saw a photo of myself 10lbs heavier and noticed some ...rolls. i think what i like the most about turning 40 is not caring as much about that anymore, and…

we require more lipids for healthy menstrual cycles here's a quote from this link, but there's way more to read if you go to the full article http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/women/a/Amenorrhea.htm

because changing the goal will change the caloric measurements which are more in line with your metabolism now that you've lost so much weight. I saw it recommended multiple times here on the boards. when i did it, i lost 2 lbs. It's definitely helping me tackle these last 5 lbs. In order to drop them, we have to make sure…

Congrats!!!! What is NSV? pardon my naiveté Nice!!!!! Totally Inspiring

Wellll......my bf and I have hit a major bump in the road and it appears that we are going our separate ways, at least for now. I think. And guess what? Because of my regular workouts and healthy diet, I am still able to focus on my career transition, avoid drama, and get through this hard stuff feeling stronger than i've…

i'm on my last five as well. have you readjusted your MFP settings to .5/ per week yet?

Thanks for the feedback and responses. regarding cardio and barbell complexes: I do those sometimes, and have done them but fyi, i really love a good burn and a good sweat, so i do certain kinds of cardio that i like for just that reason. If you look back at my posts you will see that I am very active and am actively…

Have you tried changing the kinds of food you are eating? Kale and broccoli are incredibly filling and very low in calories. I like to roast the broccoli, both are great sauteed or a salad with tons of kale and/or broccoli and some olive oil based vinagrette you may want to cruise the recipe section of the forum and look…

Yes. I use lemon and lime instead, even with my turkey burgers But yeah, cooking my own food is also my best solution, and I guess this is obvious but avoid processed food. Processed is another word for "high in sodium" Ps edited to say congrats on recent loss!

Checking in for roll call! 5 more lbs to goal and in the best physical condition of my life, I didn't know 40 could be this good. Have some hard days but overall I am kinda shocked at my new physical capabilities. I have never been an athlete though I've been a runner off and on since my 20s, with fad diets & various…

In your profile you mention that you want to feel healthier. A great way to do that would be to start with what you are putting in your body. This is something none of us can control for you, it's really just up to you. Tons of science out there which connect your diet with how you feel, and I guarantee that feeling…

this is my thinking around it, too. When i find myself stressing about meals i'm eating which i myself didn't prepare, i realize i'm in the midst of a kind of compulsion or "diet" way of thinking rather than just living a healthy life. this is part of the healthy lifestyle, in m opinion - learning how to feel good and…

bump! and also: avocado pudding! omg i am making that tomorrow!

eat back your exercise calories, at *least* half of them. I eat about 80% of them back because i love to eat and also because i'm on my last 5 lbs of weight loss which is extremely hard. But it's true, eating back your exercise calories will fuel your workouts (and will help you make this a lifestyle rather than another…

4 hour body was the dumbest diet i ever tried and the lamest book i ever sold back
-
really? nobody has favorite or suggestions for post-workout stretches? (bump) my hamstrings are throbbing no matter what i do. what works for you?
-
Occasional glass of red wine or champagne, no more than 2x/ week, if that. (That's what I do)
-
Oops I just realized I replied to an old post. Ugh sorry This. It's the aspartame . Is there aspartame in the crystal light flavor you use? I used to drink it allll the time and got tons of headaches. Stopped drinking it, the headaches went away. Headaches are a side effect of a lot of those artificial sweeteners. What…

I can relate to your sense of urgency. It takes work to deal with these issues mentally and physically. Truth is, if you forgive yourself and do what you were doing before, and drink water, you will find those six lbs are gone pretty fast, as well as any of it which may have been visible to your dad. Your muscles will kill…

I started to eat kale. Lots and lots of kale. Super filling. Broccoli is a good filling food too Minimal additional calories and lots of bulk to fill your stomach

Since changing my lifestyle and body composition, i've kept cheat days BUT i've changed the way I define them. A "cheat day" happens once a week, if that, and only when i really want it - because I'm listening to what my body wants. So, when I have a cheat day what it usually means is...that I'm eating out of my normal…

I haven't experienced your exact same situation, but I do have experience with stress and emotional eating. I've found when I havent been able to get healthy sleep, my hunger levels change and so do my stress levels. And then the emotions are out of whack and......suddenly I'm eating cake. I've been there. I have done it…
-
This. Me too. I love food, eating, and it motivates me to work out, it's a great cycle!
-
Me too. If I'm hungry enough to eat them all back I do! I do IIFYM as well, but stay within the calorie deficit pre calculated by MFP. I have lost weight, gained muscle, and basically changed my body composition in ways that I didn't realize we're possible for me. I cook at home as often as I can, eat as many whole foods…
