I don't add granola but I will add a tbs of PB. The cals are a little less than your granola. I really like fruit in my yogurt- mangos and blueberries are my favs to add with a little drizzle of honey.

Roasting and grilling both chicken and veggies really brings out a good flavor too. I prefer roasted veggies over most foods and grilled chicken is so good. Sometimes I will make a marinade with mustard, a little brown sugar and some light ranch and then grill the chicken. It does add cals but so yummy and not as much as…

That's also what I do. I always save room for something small and sweet at the end of the day. Lately, it's been root beer floats (w/ only 4oz root beer and a serving size of ice cream). I can't eat artificial sweeteners so portion size is key for me.

Feel free to add me : ) I'm looking for a total goal of another 20 lbs. 5ft 6in!

I don't call it fasting but I guess so- I skip breakfast often because I get busy or the idea of food makes me a little sick. I'll go about 16 or so hours between dinner/dessert and the next day's lunch. If I do small meals or graze, i end up overeating.

Mine has crept back up. We have a big family wedding out of state in a month and a half so I'd like to get rid of some bloat and trim a bit before then but the big goal is to be in the 120s by summer and hit goal weight by my birthday in Aug. Height: 5'6" Heaviest: 201lbs post pregnancy, 164 regular Current weight: 151…

Mommy pooch- yep! I battle sugar yearly... I have a sweet tooth so I bring it down to a managable level but then it creeps out of control so I have to reset lol.

MPF has me at 1200 (last few lbs) and I usually eat back 1/2 of exercise cals... all of them if it's a hungry day. Unfortunately, I haven't been very well lately so little to no exercise. When I am training/running, I usually get 1500-1800 in.

Most of the veggies I eat have already been listed but one that I found I love is radishes! I used to eat them raw or in salads all the time but roasting them with a bit of olive oil, salt/pepper mellows the flavour and they remind me of brussel sprouts (which I love). I roast pretty much any veggie (eggplant, squash,…

This. Whatever goal weight you pick, it's not set in stone. It's always adjustable. I picked one based on a weight I once was and looked/felt comfortable at. That was a while ago, so it might have changed. I'll see as I get closer to it :)

Each pregnancy/weight can be so different! My first, I was 23 and gained 55lbs. I originally lost 9 due to hyperemisis so they basically told me to eat whatever would stay down. I had him and they weighed me afterward and I was the same weight!!! I was devastated since he was almost 9lbs plus all the other stuff you lose.…

Also around 20, but I'm having a hard time finding where I put my motivation... :neutral:

Weigh in day will be Monday. :) January starting weight - 152 January goal - 145 (starting weight is just before TOM so water weight) Ultimate goal - 120 Jan 1st - Jan 7th - Jan 14th - Jan 21st - Jan 28th - Total loss for January -

My favorite for cookie exchanges are Holy Crap These Are Amazing Cookies (peanut butter cornflake cookies) because most people haven't had them but end up loving them. Plus there's a personal story behind them for me. But my favorite to make/eat are Buckeyes. I've heard some people get bitter when people bring no-bakes to…

I like to add spinach and black beans to my eggs. Or leftover peppers and onions from fajitas. I'll roast huge pans of mixed veggies (brussel sprouts, radishes, peppers, onions, squash) and heat the leftovers for breakfast in the morning with eggs or a slice of ham/sausage, etc.

I mixed a whisked egg into my oatmeal when I cook it- you can't tell it's there. Add a little brown sugar, fruit (I froze fresh peaches this summer), and pecans.

Depends on the day but I love Chobani Coconut Greek yogurt with PB stirred in... for something savory, I like two over easy eggs with black beans and sauted spinach. I'm also a big fan of oatmeal with fruit and nuts mixed in. My very favorite is: 2 hard boiled egg whites, 2oz of deli meat, 7 prunes, a mini bagel with 1Tbs…

I know how that feels. Good job on being aware of it. I try to remind myself that it's not going anywhere- if I want that wine/ice cream/cookie/etc it'll be there tomorrow. Usually I don't, sometimes I do. I do have dessert nearly every night though haha, it fits in my cals and helps me feel like it's the end of my day…

I wear Brooks. I can get 400-500 mi out of mine (about 6 months) but then I whine and fuss about paying for a new pair so I struggle along on those for another 50 or so before getting another pair ;) I pay $120 and usually wait for a sale before I purchase. I also use a different pair for cardio machines/weight lifting.…

This. When I train for half or full marathon, the best I can expect is to maintain because, during, that time, weight loss isn't my focus, my time/distance/etc is. I try to work on my weight the rest of the time that way I'll be in better shape for training but when I train, I work on fuel and recovery. That doesn't mean…

My gym (that I use rarely because it's 25 min drive away but free!) has wipes so I don't bring my own but I do wipe it down before and after because I've watched most people NOT wipe it down. Usually the wipe is still wet from the first use. If it didn't have wipes, I'd bring my own... those things get gross! I also keep…

Luckily, I'm not a huge cereal person but occassionally, hubs will want cereal for dinner so I just take my dinner cals and have as many servings as I want within those cals. For breakfast? Nope.

12-3am?? That is early! I'm not even asleep yet by then haha. I would like to workout earlier (like 6-7 am) but until I get my sleep on track, it's not happening.

I love eggs! I eat about 3 per day, sometimes a couple more depending on my meals. Usually just two for breakfast though, with sides added in. Eggs with turkey bacon or diced ham, spinach/broccoli, black beans... yum. I mix an egg into my oatmeal when cooking it too. I love hardboiled eggs with some fruit and ham on the…

I prelog- sometimes days at a time. I usually leave the dessert/snack empty with calories set aside until I know what I'll be having. I've found that I tend to stick to it better (no last minute drive throughs or ice cream runs with the kids). It also saves me money since I write up a meal plan and shop only for that meal…

Eggs! Tea, Greek yogurt, oatmeal most days

I usually set aside cals for something sweet (I LOVE desserts) and I am a big fan of fitting in any kind of food in your day, whether it's ice cream, candy, etc. Lately, I haven't been well so I've been skipping the desserts since I'm still comfortably full after dinner. I just have my tea. If you're looking for something…

I love sauteed spinach! I put it in eggs or pasta sauce. My favorite is a little plain spaghetti, sauteed spinach, 2 over easy eggs, and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Just heat a pan, add a little olive oil (or whatever you use), when it's hot, add the spinach until it gets a bit wilty. I season with salt and pepper.…
