I really thought the OP was a woman.. And those who mentioned Dexter... Dexter was a psycho but not a perv... Poor Dex.

Well... It causes me gastritis and when my stomach hurts I don't eat much.. So I guess it "helps".

I'm doing the 5:2 so I wait until the non fast days and I have my cravings. I always try to fit them during the week so I won't miss them. I also try to find healthy and lower in calories alternatives. I love chocolate, but a bar is too much and it lasts too little. A skinny mocha frappuchino fits the craving but it has…

Have you tried peanut butter on toast with apples on top? I prefer the green apples and it's so delicious as a pre-work out snack!! :D

You can put the whole recipes in MFP and it will calculate the amount of calories per portion :)

QFT

Word of advice... In your non fast days you should be looking at 1500 or more calories (at least for me). The final average for the week should be 1,200 per day.. which is basically the amount of calories by MFP. NOT LESS. I've been doing the 5:2 for a month now.. I've lost around 4 kilos (8pounds aprox). I do exercise and…

I love powder cocoa with greek yogurt and splenda!! Soo good!! I have to buy the swiss version of powder cocoa.. which I believe it's better than Hersheys :P

495 cals Also doing the 5:2

Hello I'm Andie and I've been doing 5:2 for the last three weeks (with a week break for holiday travelling!). So far I've lost around 10lbs and I'm looking forward losing another 20lbs more.. For me, it's much easier to accomplish this way because I can fit social eatings on my diet and I get to see my friends in a normal…

For October.. Goal loss: 33lbs Loss to date: 13.22lbs Loss this week: 1 lbs

bump because I want to buy some chicken this weekend!

The sweat must smell like roses.

I live far from my home (six months in Switzerland and then one year in Singapore starting in a month!). I must admit that the first months in Switzerland were hard! I gained weight (because of cheese, sedentary, beers and chocolate!). So I had a rought wake up call in July that put me to work! Yes, it is possible to lose…

Instead of cutting more calories, why don't you increase your exercise? Even if you don't lose pounds, you will be more toned and feel more secure in your dress...

I'm from Mexico and I've eaten Maguey's worms... Fried and in tacos with guacamole. I don't like them and I'll probably not eat them again.. but I tried them.

I'm moving to Singapore in less than two months... I love Indian, Chinese and Malasyan food... I'm basically screwed. :drinker:

This. Also.. can I say that the cat on your avatar looks like my cat A LOT? Just saying.. off topic

Share! I didn't really gain weight during my week long holiday in Spain, mostly because I basically shared all plates with my sister (asked for a starter to share, main dish to share and dessert with two spoons), this way it allowed me to try a lot of type of foods and still not overeat... US food portions are quite big…

So at a month it'd be 30 calories! Yay for extra calories on the last day of the month!

I'm not there but THIS. I got this way by being in denial and making the scale a devil in disguise.. And since I don't plan to be ever like this again, I've befriend my scale again and it'll be my faithful companion for the rest of my life.

What I barely understand of all of this: Good diet helps you with the belly fat.. If you tend to get bloated fast (I know I do!), try to avoid the food that bloats you (broccoli, bread, beer, etc) and that will help you temporally. But as far as I know, even if you do tons of situps, and abs exercise, the belly fat will…

Shopping for new skinny clothes! Never to gain the weight again... to mantain the skinny weight and keep with the healthy habits.. I also want a nice bikini to show off my abs AND pictures to evidence them!

Right now I'm in the 145 down from +150 pounds.. My goal weight is 125pounds as I feel the best when I'm in that weight (I'm 5'5). I'm considering going up if I can manage to create more muscle and not a lot of weight lost BUT going down sizes... My first goal is at 132 and I will see from there...

If it's more than 50 calories yes.. I do the intermittent fasting with an 8 hour window + the 5:2 (or 4:3 depends). It works for me, it's been a month and I've lost +10 pounds already (including one week holiday in Spain so I basically didn't lose anything there haha). It works for me because I found out that I eat more…

I should do that.. I always forget taking my vitamin tablets.. haha :drinker:

This, I know that my exercise cals look inflated, but I like logging them as a motivation for the next work out (if I was a bit lazy one day, I'll have to make up for it the next time). I always include 100 cals for a weekly home to work to gym to stores walk.. Again, just for information as I don't have a HRM or fitbit so…

I log the night before or even sometimes days before (depending the day, if it's a fast day or no). And if I change, I'll be adapting the day before I eat the changes... I like having my days planned.

My favorite is still strawberries and cherries and raspberries and everything berry... I think that if you ask me, strawberries should be part of my life every single day of my life... Mangoes not as much. haha

mango is better than strawberries? It's the first time I've ever heard that.. At least in "diet" world.. I eat both.. I actually love my mango with tajin chili powder and salt and my strawberries with yogurt... I don't think I'd be able to just stop eating them... Even less during summer!
