I gain 5-7 pounds every time I have my period. Pants are always snug and so is my bra. Sometimes I'll even gain 3-5 after a weekend or day of heavier eating, I used to have a friend who refused to weight herself until she "dropped a few kids off at the pool" so to speak...personally I don't weigh myself at all because…

Thanks guys! I was thinking sauteed peppers and onions would be really good since really when aren't they delicious on pretty much anything? lol

IIFYM. Go to Mcdonald's. Problem solved. Seriously tho, eat whatever you want. It doesn't just have to be "diet foods" My guess is once you get out of that mind set you won't have any issue eating all your calories. But fruit and yogurt probably aren't going to cut it. Peanut butter, trail mix, any kind of nut, bread and…

Your food choices are pretty good but you need to work on your serving size. Things like trail mix, while healthy, have really high calorie counts so 4 cups would put almost anyone who isn't doing excessive exercise about their maintenance calories. Normally one serving is around 200 calories for 1/3rd a cup or 1/4th cup…

Talk to the girl he's banging?

I ate mcdonalds and kfc yesterday and a donut at dunkin, I didn't go over on fat, in fact I had some to spare including saturated. My carbs where scary but I was under on (maintenance) calories overall. and it was delicious.
-
Look at your weekly totals under your reports. If you're going over your weekly goals then it's stalling your weight loss, Not ruining it but it will take longer. Which is fine, and if you ask me more doable and probably better. If you're going over your WEEKLY MAINTENANCE calories however, this is a problem. I really…

Put baby spinach on your sandwiches, it gives it a crunchy texture but has a mild flavor so it won't change the taste much. Add veggies to an omelet. Spinach is my best friend, sauteed w/ some garlic and olive oil it's delicious by itself or in/on pretty much anything. I add veggies to pasta sauce for kids, it's a great…

This is literally exactly how I sleep although I do prefer my left side but on the right side of the bed. Sleeping on your stomach is hard as a girl because boobs and I barely have boobs bigger than a prepubescent 12 year old so I can only imagine what it's like for others Ironically my answer would be similar for the…
-
The only issue I've ever come across is that it can make it more difficult to sleep if I eat a big meal right before bed. Otherwise a calorie is a calorie no matter what time of day it is. That's just one of the man diet myths out there. It's a scientific fact that the time of day you eat does not matter. People who…

Cover every part of your body you possibly can. I wear running leggings+ leg warmers, a regular work out top, a long sleeve running shirt (meant to keep heat in) over that, then another heavy winter style jacket designed for running over that. I am in Boston I think if my conversions are right the temperatures you're…

I'm not a vegetarian anymore but I don't like meat and I only really eat chicken. I hate all breakfast meats but I actually find breakfast is often my highest protein meal especially when I am not eating chicken for dinner. Go to breakfasts are: Hard Boiled Eggs, Dunkin or Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches (Both have…

IIFYM all the way!

Arms/chest for guys. Legs/*kitten* for girls generally speaking.

Are you sure your BMI is that low? Maybe double check because you would be SEVERELY and extremely noticeable underweight all over your body. People with BMI's that low often have gaunt faces, from your picture you seem to look relatively healthy but it is hard to tell without a full body shot. Just going off of what I've…

Oh well in that case you need to read up on TDEE because you are not doing it right. Your not going to calculate it correctly if you're not actually accurately portraying your activity level... Do it again & put in the right info, then rework your calorie goal. Once you have your actual TDEE minus 20 percent THEN you don't…

1200 is a ridiculous MFP number that comes from somewhat legitimate sources but works for very few people/lift styles because it is the bare minimum. Batmans post is dead on. I am 5'3 and 122 pounds, I am a teacher + waitress part time so I am on my feet but only consider myself "lightly active" I've been maintaining this…

I feel like this is used by someone who also uses the words "Thigh gap" "Bikini Birdge" and ABC Diet. I understand that this can be legitimately used but the pictures posted of "examples" on the first page are ****ing ridiculous. All women tend to store a little extra flab on their butt and aren't even close to being fat…

I was literally ecstatic when I read this because its a giant **** you punch on the face to all those clean eating holier than thou ****tards who think they deserve an award for eating nothing but Quinoa & oatmeal. Nothing against clean eating if that's what you're about but shut the **** up about how fantastic you are and…

Yeah let's just give our kids body issues and disordered eating before they're out of elementary school. Check your attitude, for the sake of your children OP. Some candy here and there is NOT harmful. Being too restrictive- VERY harmful.

Peanut butter extra crunchy.

He could be gay...? I mean there are lots of reasons for this but...it seems like that could be within the realm of possibility. But more likely he's just shy especially if it's while drunk? I've always been like that, well I was when I used to drink. I have a really hard time initiating sex but never came across a guy…

Most of this will focus on the Pren-Kindergarden aged kids For the older ones, they LOVE stories. The toddlers do too but they can't attend to something as long as a child of 4-5 can. They love stories that involve things they know about in Pop culture or books that are about things going on around them, for example right…

Honestly the issue isn't so much affording food...it's having the time to prepare it. As someone who works 60 + hours a week and has other responsibilities outside of work (who doesn't?!) I just don't always have the time to prepare meals which means I often turn to fast food, frozen dinners etc but I have learned how to…

This is sort of complex and takes some time, I haven't done a ton of vegan baking but I find that's normally truly when I do, do it so you're probably used to it. And it's SO worth it Pumpkin Pie W/ Almond Date Crust from Sweet & Healthy Living Blog (Big “T”= tablespoon, small “t”=teaspoon) Crust: 1 1/2 c almonds 8 dates 1…

I am just under 5'4, when I was a 140 I wore a size 8 or a size 10. Dresses I was a 6 or an 8. I'm about 20 pounds less now but my size has dropped pretty significantly I am now a 0 or a 2 in pants/shorts and a 00 or XS in dresses because so much of my weight came off my top half. But I find sizes can vary quite a bit from…

At night! Sorry I guess I should have specified! I normally throw it together at night, fridge overnight then eat it after I work out in the morning for breakfast. I bring it in a cooler lunch box because my gym is down the street from my work I mix the greek yougurt_+ almond milk together in a bowl, then add the protein…

Hey for me the texture really improved when I added flax seeds or chia seeds depending on what I have at the time. (chia is kinda hard to find around here) But both make it thicker and more filling. It does take a few tries to get a texture you like. I do one serving at a time normally. The way I like it is 1/2 Cup Old…

I stay away for the scale for this reason, too many things ( a tough work out, dehydration, retaining water, a big meal etc etc) can change your weight. Instead I go by how my body looks and feels and how my clothes fit and to track progress I measure. I find this works much better than the scale. I bloat badly during my…

if it makes you feel any better I only burn 280 calories running 4 miles in just about 35 minutes and that's at just under 9 minutes per mile average so I'm never walking, sometimes you have to switch it up since your body is smart and gets used to work outs quickly. Exercise is much more fun when you're not in it for the…
