I know this is an older conversation, but I'll add in my thoughts for future readers: I am a cis female. I only measured at my natural waist line (narrowest point, for me, it's above my navel), and I "regret" that now. I lost a bunch of weight, I look much slimmer, but my natural waist barely budged over the past ~17…

I have continued to regularly workout, no problem. I have fallen off of tracking calories... I eat the same things a lot,…

Turning 44 this month! 5'11" (180.3cm) April SW: 176.5lb (80kg) May SW: 174.9lb (79.3kg) Goal: 160-165lb ish (72.6-74.8kg ish) April Goals: 1. Workout 4-6 days a week. YES! 2. Eat 1450 calories per day plus eat back exercise calories (I usually ate back more, but I was still overall at a deficit as I did lose weight) May…

My workout leggings went from rolling down my belly (too tight) to sliding down (too loose). Looks like I'm going to need to buy smaller ones! [I've been consistently working out for a year, but only recently came back to mfp ~5 weeks ago to start logging food again. It's only during these 5 weeks that the biggest belly…

I'm 5'11" SW (this time): ~179.5 CW: 176.5 GW: 160-ish I started tracking my food on 3/10, and for 2.5 weeks (3/10-3/28) my weight wasn't changing. I went back to my goals and changed my activity level to the lowest one (since I realize I am at a desk job) my calories dropped by 300. For 4 days I've been following the new…

Did you end up doing it? I own it from few years back, but I was doing 80 Day Obsession when you posted this...now I'm doing 9 Werk Control Freak. I can see going back to this at some point though, or at least I can see mixing it in.

43 5'11 CW: 180ish GW: 160ish March Goals: continue exercising 4-6 days a week. Log my food intake every day. Be more cognizant of empty calories/dessert that I consume nightly and reduce it by at least 50%.

Update: what's new? Now it's been 4.5 years since my original post and apparently I'm down 3 pounds. Lol! Let's see, I'm 42 and I finally have a kid now <3 - he just turned 16 (got him when he was 14). My goal weight is now 160 because I think 155 looks too skinny on my body (I'll reassess when I make it to 160 though).…

Lululemon are great. I also have a bunch of Kirkland yoga pants from Costco, and they actually fit me quite well. I'm 5'11".

Ok, I'm back now after a long hiatus! I started actively trying to lose weight again in May this year. I'm down 20lbs from 191 to 171 (took 5 months). My goal weight is 160lbs. It was 165, but I just dropped it to 160 today now that I believe I can do it :)

Thanks for the welcome! Now that I've completed my 5th day of Crazy 8s, I'm doing even better. I can now do the tripping move with the double hopping (but the leaning forward is still a challenge for my back). Yay!! I agree that the trip is a lot for one leg. I've been switching up the leg I use during the workout.

Today will be my 4th day on Crazy 8s.

I started Cize on Sunday (5/8) and I've done Crazy 8s for three days in a row so far. My plan is to do the beginners schedule, and if I find I need to change it up more, I'll switch to advanced. My major issue is that due to back problems in the past, I have difficulty leaning forward and then standing straight again…

OK, this is likely well-known by many, but newer to me. "Chickpea Salad" - I like it on an open face sandwich Drain a can of chick peas and then mash them in a bowl (I use a fork while watching tv, about 5-10 minutes) Mix in a bunch of chopped celery and chopped onion (I like a lot of celery) Squeeze half a lemon into it…

That's fantastic! Wtg!

My best strategy is avoidance. I keep it out of my house. If I'm at a party, I stay the hell away from the snacks... If all the people are gathered there, I'll ask some people to join me on the couch and I would let them know it's so I'm not tempted by all the food... Or I'll plant myself next to the cut up vegetables. I…

Prepared Naysoya tofu (2 squares, eat hot or cold - sesame ginger and teriyaki are good), cottage cheese (. 5 cup) , a side of vegetables. (180+90+30 = 300 calories). 100 more calories available for a sweet desserty item.

If you just mean for the first two nights' sedars, it's just like Thanksgiving dinner and so all about portion control. I would do things like fill your plate with a lot of vegetables. For the alcohol, note that you don't have to drink 4 cups of wine - either plan to drink less or swap it with a glass of seltzer.

Things I like that are fast Naysoya tofu (I like the teriyaki and sesame ginger) - you can eat it cold or heated up. Tofurkey deli slices (I like the peppered flavor) with cheese on a sandwich round. Use a bit of whatever condiments you like. Dr. Praegar California veggie burger and spinach pancakes. If you're willing to…

For how I log it: I used my body media armband several times about 2 years ago and came up with 176 calories. So I log it as that (now that I'm doing it again). I'm on L1D6 tonight.

For steeping loose leaf tea, I love my "Ingenuitea" (it has 4.7 stars and 1000 reviews on amazon): It looks like a beer stein (but plastic). You put in the tea leaves, pour water, and let it steep. When it's ready, you stick it on top of your cup and the tea pours out the bottom. For clean up, I rinse out for 10 seconds.…

If 4 weeks have passed and you're not losing weight, then you can always lower your calories by a bit and see if that helps.

So today (I just checked) my carbs were 82g while my protein was 105g. Not "full of carbs" today. My carb intake varies day to day. I tend to get a good amount of protein and fat because I eat a lot of cottage cheese, quinoa, greek yogurt, and tofu (a lot of tofu). When I make a fruit smoothie for breakfast I always…

Of all the foods I've put into my mouth as an adult, there is only one that I can think of that causes an instantaneous "get it out" reaction due to the taste alone: <<<<<< Goat Cheese >>>>>> I don't care who I'm with, I will spit it out and immediately do whatever I need to do to remove the taste from my mouth.

I am a WW lifetime member because I did it in high school. WW is essentially free for me when I gain weight because while I have a personal goal of 155lbs, WW allows me to set my goal at 179lbs. Since I never go above 179 - I only have to pay ~$13 one time each time I decide to start back at WW and then it's free as long…

I used mine for over year (but I haven't used it in over a year now) and found it worked great for me. I don't know how accurate it was, but I lost all the weight I had wanted by using the numbers it gave me... I stopped using it when I changed jobs and all my routines went to hell :/ now I'm back to starting healthy…

I feel like it's going to be quite challenging to reach 80g without meat... It's just the volume of food you'll have to eat! I think protein powders will help a lot. For food peanut butter/ peanuts ( 5g/oz), eggs (6g each), quinoa (8g/cup), kidney beans (12g/cup)...

Wrong. The discussion is there, but you stopped reading after the headline. It seems it's probably just a bit of water retention due to a new workout routine.
