agree with AnnPT77. I'm 46 and started this journey years ago. I was around 40 when I got up to 210. I'm now down to 128. Got as low as 121. Have gained and lost the same 5-10 pounds over the last 4 years now. I used a Fitbit for a couple months and realized it either exaggerated everything or underestimated. My step count…

I turned 46 just a couple weeks ago. Been maintaining my weight for the past 4 years. I have gained and lost the same 5-10 pounds. Nothing hard about it. Sometimes I work out sometimes I don't (hence the gain). I log everything!!! Get a food scale!! Measure it out. Don't count out 15 almonds, measure then by grams. I…

https://tryabouttime.com/ Can buy individual packets to try. 100 calories all natural stevia. 24g per 28 gram scoop. I usually look on Amazon or ebay for deals. I'll buy directly from them when they run a buy one get one 50% off promo. Birthday cake and strawberry are my go to in this. Whey Protein Isolate - 2lb Jar 906…

yes, skin has tons of vitamins :)

I eat Kashi Go Lean. Has good amount of protein, fiber and vitamins to make it worthwhile to me.

I buy the 8oz yogurt cups that are low cal. Oikos, yoplait, Chobani. Pumpkin spice with a graham cracker crushed in it. strawberry with mini chocolate chips. You get the idea. It's under 200 calories (yogurt 100 and add in under 100) and satisfies my sweet tooth when I'm having a craving. This is when I'm hard core…

I've discovered Artic Zero. It's close to HT but without the sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols wreak havoc on my insides! 300 calories, 12g protein and fiber per pint. Cookie dough is ok. I liked the cherry chocolate chunk. I have brownie blast in my freezer to try. I found them at Walmart. I wouldn't really call either of…

I'm 5'5 and easily get 113g of protein a day on maintenance. When I was dieting and lifting I aimed for 150. On days when I don't workout I aim for 100 minimum. Their recommendation puts me at 93g, so I'm not too far off. And fyi, this number came from multiple websites not just here.

Not all of us "yanks" measure in cups. I always look for grams or ounces. Please stop labeling people. Some of us on here are new and put into the database what we think it should be (not me mind you). You're going to find all kinds of things on here. For grins look up a craploadofcalories. There are actually entries like…

I buy snack size bags of candy. Twix, Dove, Dove mini ice cream, Godiva truffles. You get the idea. That way I can just eat one. One is usually under 100 cals and easily will fit into my macros and satisfy my sweet tooth.

Got mine on Amazon for my Alta Hr. Oitom. fyi my husband ordered the wrong color for Christmas and got the rainbow one. That one was hideous!

http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/103/3/738 The actual scientific data. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160127132741.htm Easy to understand. This above study was conducted on young overweight men. They hope to do the study with women. Problem with women is we don't easily build muscle. Hence why we don't get…

exactly!!!

https://sodiumbreakup.heart.org/how_much_sodium_should_i_eat?utm_source=SRI&utm_medium=HeartOrg&utm_term=Website&utm_content=SodiumAndSalt&utm_campaign=SodiumBreakup Sodium targets were recently changed in 2017. Heart association recommended no more than 2300mg a day max. Ideal target for sodium is now 1500mg a day.

You can't spot target one specific area. To lose stomach fat you need to be in a caloric deficit. Eventually you will lose fat overall. Stomach is usually the last to go. Search abs are made in the kitchen.

I use these websites for protein powder recipes: https://thebigmansworld.com/ http://proteinpow.com/ As far as a quiche that uses protein powder I've never seen that. Eggs on their own are rich in protein. If you're worried about calories try using egg white and whole egg recipe to cut down on calories. You could also add…

Same with my husband. Been telling him for months he needs to lose the 25 pounds he's put on. He pretty much blew me off. But a guy he used to work with visited him at work and made a comment and now he's all "I need to lose weight". Honestly, can't win.

My husband is 6'1" and 215. He started at 220. I can tell you just from looking at him he carries all his weight in his midsection. His goal is to get back down to 185-190. At that weight he was healthy and didn't have a huge belly. So diet and exercise is the only thing that will help lose it.

ice cream. Personally I'd make a milkshake and throw some protein powder into it to make it more beneficial. Just don't drink it through a straw. I had my wisdom teeth out and my mom brought me a shake and from sucking on the straw I got dry sockets.

You're thinking of prednisone, which is a steroid. Abuterol is a bronchodialator. One side effect of this is loss of potassium. I take this daily. Along with breathing steroids (Advair) for COPD.

Your belly never hung. The first pic shows your belly as tight there is no apron to tighten up. This isn't what OP was asking for. I've had 3 kids. All difficult pregnancies and put on bed rest. I'm 5'5" and at the end of my last pregnancy I weighed 220 pds. I was HUGE!!! Had the full on apron. Over the years I've lost and…

mine fluctuates by +/- 5 lbs. Totally normal

There is no way that salmon is only 40 cals! I have salmon on my dinner for tonight. For my salmon (188 grams) is 242 calories alone. If that is even half what I have planned its closer to 100 calories. Probably more.

I've known 2 people who have done Keto. I've done CICO. I've lost over 80lbs and been maintaining within 5 pounds +/- for 3 years approx. Both people who did Keto- one is gaining as we speak (Ican see it on her). The other (my husband) gained it all back and then some. If it works for you great! But both people got sick of…

I've never heard of instant pot but I do have 2 stove top pressure cookers(never use them). What I do love is my crock pot. I can put a meal in there go to my daughters volleyball or softball games (depending on season) and have dinner when we get home. Also great in summer when it's too hot to cook. Just throw something…

This x a 1000

When i was lactating I was told to up my calories by approx. 500 to account for lactation. But I do agree with RonPrague that if you're hungry you should eat. You're doing something very important. You're supplying nutrition to a developing infant. That alone should take precedence regarding dieting. According to my TDEE…

my husband is from Australia. What we think tastes great here in the US sometimes has very different taste there. He's pointed this out to me so many times. Could just be that the cottage cheese has a different taste and texture there. It's possible. Anyway, as pointed out before try making scrambled eggs with it.…
