Yeah what makes anyone think bc I gave up artificial sweeteners that I went to sugary drinks? I’m drinking water and unsweet tea. Life’s not sad without soda. I gave them up bc I believe there were messing with my health. Plus I believe they do keep you hungry. I have not been hungry like normal which is probably why I…

Yup same boat. Had a baby 6 months ago and have only lost 4 lbs since I got cleared at 8 week postpartum. I was logging and weighing. Cardio 3-4x week. I lost 4 pounds the first week and nothing the rest. I slacked off bc I not gaining or losing. It's frustrating but I starting back today. Not giving up. I will have pre…

Hi ladies. I'm 5'3 , 33 years old, and 2.5 month postpartum. I need to lose 40 lbs. I'm so ready to get back to normal.

Correct you cant spot reduce so you should never ever try to strengthen your core... Never!

Well I bought one bc I had a baby 2 months ago and I can't crunch or plank bc of separation I still have in my abs. My low back is killing me bc I have no strength in my core. I have extra weight on me so running and walking is really irritating me knee. I am well aware you cannot spot reduce however it is helping me…

Thanks I think I'll prob try that next time.

Thanks ladies!!! I thought I was going nuts! I don't know when I tried it and took off the mayo, cheese, and mustard it still came up 700 but that's seems ridiculous. I'm marking it back down to 400. Thanks y'all!!!

Yes Iv been cleared with no restrictions

I noticed when I lost 55 lbs and kept it off for 5 years that when I hit a Plateau i would go eat something yummy like burger and fries and for some reason my weight loss would come back after. I don't know if it meant anything but I'll do it again this time. I gained 60 lbs while pregnant and I'm back to trying to lose…

I was having this issue too. I would eat breakfast early morning but the I would have a high protein snack for my so called second breakfast to get me to lunch. It was just enough to dull the hunger to get to lunch. I hated feeling like I was eating 2 meals before 10 am but 1 normal size and 1 snack felt better. Usually…

I also eat Greek yogurt but I'm wanting something easy on the go for the mornings and after hard workouts.

Thank you! I'm not breast feeding so I don't need the extra calories but I just wanted to make sure that this is prob temporary. I know my body is still healing but I'm just so ready. Im wanting so bad just to run and do a hard workout. I still have a week and a half before a clear from my dr. I'm determined to get back to…

Starting week 3 tomorrow. I love the program so far but questioning what my results will be. It's hard work so I hope to see something soon.... Right?

You don't have to weigh food to lose weight people! Just saying. I guesstimate and measure, I never weigh and I lost my weight doing so

Eat whatever fast food you want but I would stay away from McDonalds. Its not even food.

Just put 850-900 to be safe and call it a day. Its just one meal. Over estimate and move on.

Your welcome! :) I just woke up yesterday and decided I didn't really want my peanut butter after breakfast snack and thought...YES! it worked!

Well I am sorry you have to deal with that

eat protein you will feel fuller for longer

Pizza and diet soda

Bump, in for answers

I became over weight bc I was suffering from depression. I chose not to work through my problems because being fat was easier than dealing with the truth and the things I had to change. I did this for 10 years. When I decided to work on my depression issues the weight started coming off. I worked hard to get it off but…

125

It is a journey with no finish line. Even when you hit your goal you will still have to stay accountable and still work to keep what you have earned. Don't think about how long it takes to get there bc there is no "there" to get to. Just keep working hard,

Well I guess I am just content with getting stronger and not gaining muscle mass. Im getting stronger and more fit so not gonna eat at a surplus for no reason.

I buy junk food for my boyfriend who can eat anything and everything he wants. Its my responsibility to say no to it not his reasonability to not have it in the house. Sometimes I have some, sometimes I don't BUT its always my decision and my accountability.

Sounds ridiculous! Eat whatever you want within your calories. Geez how does anyone think these diets are good ideas?

Natures own 40 calorie bread is pretty good and I just started eating Toufayan smart pockets whole wheat which are 80 calories and very yummy.

Neither!!!! Myfitnesspal and accountability are the miracle drugs to use.

Boil for 5 mins, let sit in water off the heat for 20 mins, then take them out and hold under cold running water for a few seconds each. Peels easily after that.
