Consignment store, good sales and limited wardrobe during loss. I also did the leggings and long sweater or short dress thing and it was good enough for work dress requirements. I ended up 1 or 2 sizes smaller than planned and it took me over a year to finally donate all the clothes that I planned to wear again

I wasn’t always a good eater as a child.... but noodles with warm chunky apple sauce (instead of some savory sauce) comes to mind..... still qualifies as comfort food (instead of chicken noodle soup). I also liked leftover potato dumplings sliced, sprinkled with cinnamon and a little sugar -throw in skillet and brown both…

Shredded raw, add some shredded carrots and if you like some shredded cabbage, make broccoli slaw . I often add some dried cranberries or dried cherries , red chopped onion and make my own nondairy dressing. Love it!

Not candy or gum but almost 3 decades ago the thing that worked for me - carrot sticks. Carried small bags of carrot sticks ((about the size of cigarettes or a tad thicker). Nibbled as needed and after a few weeks I was good....

Sprouted flaxseed toast (only 50cal a slice and tastes good) with peanut butter and sliced picked or sliced pickled zucchini

2664.7+60 = 2724.4

Water soluble vitamin, you just pee extra out. I always am way over recommended amount and never have any gastrointestinal issue with it

Good plan! Tell your Lay-Z-Boy you are only doing it to ease its 'burden' by shedding some weight and getting healthier. It will give you both benefits

Huh???? I'm vegan, before that vegetarian for decades. I can a) count on my fingers how many times I looked at YouTube and b) who or what is Freelee? And I love being stereotyped....

Same here..... Can't sleep, get very irritable, want to eat all the time. I was past caring for a while and with each round I packed on a few more pounds. Last time I made sure I ate small meals more often, had baggies of precut veggies everywhere- so when I felt I had to have food now...... Munched on veggies and didn't…

Like cashew ice cream best, love SoDelicious Cappuccino flavor

Always hated Mayo. Can tolerate small amount of vegan 'mayo' but only scraped thinly on a bun.... Stevia......disgusting in any form! Anything sweetened with artificial sweeteners - just can't do it, horrible taste/aftertaste. Commercial icing/frosting on cakes, cupcakes....and the stuff they sell in tubs...yuck

So true!!!!!!

Vegetarian x27 years, vegan now for over 6 months ( in the beginning I still ate the occasional egg but only from my pet/backyard chickens....maybe 1 egg a week, and none for over 3 months) The neighbors and the dog are happy.... They get fresh, organic , free range eggs

Nuesse, avocado, Oliven, Mandeln. Oliven oder sesam oel... Ich muss etwas mehr nachdenken da es mir in englisch einfaellt

I like it in PB and banana smoothies, blends better and less calories. Also use it cooking peanut sauces. Still use real PB for sandwich though

Overnight oats with chia seeds and some kind of fruit or nuts or PB ..... Whatever is handy. Recently I've eaten silk soy yogurt with an ounce of granola or muesli mixed in. Also love toasted sprouted flaxseed from Alvarado Street bakery..... 50 cal a slice. I either have 2 slices with avocado ( usually use a whole…

I don't drink milk and have tried soy, almond, rice, coconut, flax, hemp, hazelnut, cashew milks. My favorite is original unsweetened cashew milk (the only kind I can drink straight up and really like) second choice is Almond Plus unsweetened/unflavored ( has 5 gm protein per serving vs usually 1 gm). I'm OK with other non…

Maybe pre-planning/ logging for the day would help? You can use it as a good guideline and adjust as you go to reflect correct info..... Adjust for additional exercise as you go, you can use it for an extra snack or to buffer if you 'went over'. That way you roughly know what you can fit in your day.

Also look at the choices you get when you enter an item....... It can vary greatly not only in cals but also macros. Bar scanning is good, then weigh wilds, measure liquids. If you are in doubt of an item or you get an item (let's say avocado again) that has different cals listed for same item then I would use 'usda…

Bump

b][/b] Same here..... I eat what I like and log it. Usually within my goal range without going over....If I go over it may be by a couple of hundred cals. Then I move more or cut a few calories during the week

Love pasta and I now mostly eat black bean pasta ..... 25 gm protein per serving. Also other beans, seitan, quinoa. I'm pretty much vegan so no cottage cheese or Greek yogurt for me but there are a couple of non-dairy "milks" like almond plus and flax plus that have 5 gm protein per cup instead of 1 gm

Food scale for everything except measuring cup for liquids

I hear you.... I kept losing a bit more than I planned and was a bit worried about maintenance. I increased my cals by 200, kept losing same as before, added another 150-200 for a few weeks now. I'm going to try adding another 50-150 for a little bit as my loss has reduced. I'll take my current weight as absolute low end…

Flaxseed toast (50 cal/slice) with mashed avocado. Little pepper and salt to taste. Whole wheat tortilla with peanut butter, a banana and some chopped nuts roiled up like a burrito. Greek yogurt with granola and or fruit. Quinoa with milk and nuts and fruit, can also add an egg or substitute and bake in muffin tins.…

Fruits, veggies, legumes, oats, whole grains, nuts... Like whole wheat pasta or chickpea or black bean pasta

Currently my only dog, approx. 13 yr old, rescued and had lots of issues that we worked out over time. Loves walks but is slowing down a bit..... ETA-not a good pic....she was shedding her undercoat by the pound...

Also - try other varieties of beets - I like golden beets
