They sell cheap arm bands. Get one! :)

I found one at Goodwill for like $8. The one I have is $20 at Target. :) Go digital and not analog, made that mistake once.

Pinterest that hoe! I like open faced sandwiches, a veggie and a fruit. Tuna salads. Omlets. Soup. Any combo of starch, protein, and veggie. Rice, beans and broccoli. Lunch meat wrapped around cheese, sugar snap peas, and crackers. Etc.

It was before I saw her diary. I take it back, overeating does look like a problem.

- Not eating enough. - It's only been 2 weeks. Weight loss is meant to be slow. - Not logging accurately. Invest in a food scale. - Lots of prepackaged, preprepared and guesstimate foods. You can eat anything and lose weight as long as you're in a deficit, but watch the sodium and additives.

My husband and I come from very broken homes. I guess getting married made us strive for being what our parents weren't. Among other things, of course. :smile:

Have a salad. :D

Oliver & Company.

Atkins has an app that does all of that for you. You can also get a free "kit" in the mail that will explain it all to you. In all honesty, I tried it and felt okay. In fact, I took some things from it to apply to my own eating style. I simply couldn't do the no chocolate thing. The deprivation aspect of it is ridiculous.…

It takes some people a year, or sometimes years. I think if you've lost so much in 3 short months, you've got something to be proud of. Hang in there.

This is my favorite of all time. Boar's Head is amaaaaazing!

IN for kitty gifs.

Nope. I can't stand wearing undies when I work out. :)

All this talk of cleansing. Are we having a cleaning party? Good, I didn't want to scrub my bathroom this weekend.

I'm gonna admit that this made me laugh until I realized this was an actual issue that actually occurs to more than one person. I'm sorry. I hope that your toes are okay and not in pain, at least! Maybe it's just one of those crazy things that happens to good people? Have you talked to a doc about it?

I think if you've posted about this before and most likely gotten similar responses that this post is attention-grabby. It's obvious that you aren't selfish. You're an adult. They're adults. Your life can be separate from theirs, and will be in the future I'm sure. You do you and let them do them.

If you use the search function in the forums, you'll find that this was beat to death. There are no quick fixes. There are no short cuts. Calories in < calories out. That is all.

With raisins. And walnuts.

This is not recommended because your BMR is the bare minimum amount your body requires to keep your organs functioning. TDEE includes not only your exercise, but what work you do each day or how active in general you keep. Example: You eat your BMR but you work at a high energy job 6-8 hours a day like retail, you have…

Stop thinking of it as dieting. Diets are restrictive. Calorie deficit. What you put in is less than you your churn out. That is all that matters. This doesn't have to happen over night. Hell, this doesn't even have to be 100% of the time. A lot of folks take the 80-20 approach. 80% "good" stuff, 20% "bad" stuff every day.…

Myfacewhen: seeing this thread. What I wanted to say has already been beaten like a dead horse anyway.

I don't diet. I just try to get optimal nutrition while enjoying the foods I like in moderation.

Have you looked into your TDEE-20%? 1400 sounds low for someone that works out 5x a week. What this sounds like is underestimating your intake. Do you "eyeball" your portions, use measuring cups/spoons? I would invest in a food scale. Weighing your food ensures you're getting the correct amount.

I'd look for a nutritionist, not a dietician.

The only Peep I ever found acceptable to eat was THIS:
