Same for me @10ibprogress

I don't use things like nuts seeds or anything really highly caloric. I do measure out my dressing into a table spoon measuring cup so I got that one right haha. I just don't wanna go crazy with the exact calories

The old Arctic zero basically tastes like frozen water chunks like everyone's saying. However, they just reformulated their 150 calorie pints as well as came out with the 300 calorie line and I absolutely love the new formula. It's so much creamier and smoother and just delicious. My favorite is the Cookie shake. In the…

I'm glad it could help!! I'm the same way, sometimes I don't want a whole stop and so I have a tablespoon amount and want to log it. I may be off by a tiny bit but for the most part that's accurate plus or minus a calorie haha

The Vitamin shoppe, whole foods, and gnc all sell them. I absolutely love quest products. Love. I'm a fan of some of the more underrated flavors. My favorite is banana nut muffin. I also love cinnamon roll, lemon cream pie and strawberry cheesecake. But I know cookies n cream, smores, and cookie dough are the current like…

I tend to get really obsessive over stuff like grams and then I go into sixteenth of a gram and it just gets insanely obsessive so I know myself and that's why I do not have a food scale. It's not the money. I'm OK with cups and tablespoons and if that means I have to approximate a bit that's OK because that's healthier…

Hopefully this helps someone out there. Just use another measure device to spoon powder into your scoop to find out how much is in there

I don't have a food scale which is why I was asking. I took an actual tablespoon measuring cup and spooned protein powder in till it filled the scoop up and it ended up being 5 tablespoons. I was surprised how much it was but I don't know if you guys have ever seen the Quest protein shake scoop but it's a huge scoop! Most…

If I end up having to buy a new one, what kind would be recommended? I don't really have the money for one of those super fancy smart ones I just need a number.

I'm not crazy with weighing myself. Typically once or twice a week. But it like JNV said , is an accountability thing. Mine didn't say it needs to be calibrated when I move it but I've done the whole thing of stepping on and off.

Ok I just replaced the battery. I'll have to wait till tomorrow morning to weigh again to see if it's still wacky because I only like to weigh right after the first pee of the morning haha. Am I also correct that it needs to be in the exact same spot everyday? Or if it moves an inch one direction or another should it still…

Arctic Zero actually is delicious! The old kind was kinda,,,,eh not so hot but they reformulated it and it's absolutely delicious!!

Oh ok that does make sense. Thank you all. Stupid question I know. Yes I did take a short break to get some powerade and then went back to running so maybe that's why my pace was all screwy. I'm not really that into pace anyway I just saw it added to the updated and was curious. My goal is to get over 1.75 miles or 3750…

This

I just added cinnamon to some tea I was drinking and it tastes pretty good I think!

Where would I find that type of cinnamon

Yikes! Ill have to try it and see

Haha it sounded pretty bizarre as honey is just pure sugar and calories so why would that help my weight go down?? Im actually trying to get rid of artificial sweeteners in stuff like coffee and tea so I think I may try using cinnamon to flavor/sweeten

That's what I was thinking! All this crap on the internet says it's amazing for weight loss. But doesn't honey contain extra calories?

What about the honey and cinnamon tea mix?

For some reason this has gotten way off track.

The medication isn't something I believe in anyway so I'm not really a fan of it right now and everyone I deal with doctor wise is ok with that for now so I've got that part under control but I am currently in such a bad state of mind because of the weight so that's what I'm working on

I have told my doctor that I've quit taking it and I have gone my whole life not wanting or feeling the need to be on meds but this time I thought I would give it a shot and it was a failure. I told them I may be interested in trying something else if and when I get this weight off because the negative body image is…

God I hope so! I'm glad to hear yours came off easily because that makes me feel positive I was just trying to see if I could find some herb or spice to just kinda amp my metabolism back up to where it was

Nope. It was latuda which is supposed to be a weight neutral drug but of course that's a generalization which I hate because some people gain and others lose dramatically on it. I had a very opposite reaction than what's "typical" on latuda. Most people had memory improvements and weighr neutrality or loss. My memory went…

It's a pain isn't it? I worked so hard to get where I'm at and then was happily maintaining and then bam. Just trying to help my brain out and it sends me reeling. Also had other horrible side effects including memory loss, falling asleep without realizing it, even have a black eye from falling from dizziness. Ugh

I was eating maintenance but then switched to a deficit when the meds started to pack on the pounds but unfortunately because of the drugs there was literally no way to eat a big enough deficit to lose the weight. It was just a horrendous side effect. Will keeping on that deficit now that I'm off the drug make me lose the…

I know the weight gain is a side effect from the medication. My doctor told me that was a possibility. And that the people who do gain weight, gain it very rapidly as I have. I've since quit the drug so I'm hoping just continuing with the increased exercise and lowered intake that I tried on the drug, now without it, that…

Margaret- I love green tea! What else would be around the house ?

Amys bowls are great, I have one of those and a big salad with salad dressing that only has 5-10 calories per serving as a very filling meal. Also a boca burger (Vegan) like Priestess mentioned, with a slice of cheese and a sandwich thin or two slices of low calorie bread with an apple makes a great lunch.
