I love Dr. Oetker's pizza. California Kitchen thin crust isn't bad either. If you don't care about calories, I love the Unos deep dish frozen pizzas too.

McD's shamrock shakes! But seriously, I hate green smoothies. Never taste right to me, I'd rather eat a spinach salad.

The most accurate way to do it is the weigh it out method described above. A lot of times, I'll just divide it into X servings by serving it out and counting scoops. For example, if I made chili and want it to be 4 servings, I'll get out 4 dishes (or 2 dishes for my husband and me and 2 storage containers) and do a "1 for…

I drink mostly water, but will have a coffee in the morning, milk sometimes, and diet coke occasionally. But out of all my liquid consumption, I'd say that ~80% is straight water.

My employer has a healthy incentives program which does include fitbit. But it's very diverse. You can choose what you do and certain activities earn you different amounts of points. When you hit a certain number of points, you earn the incentive. Activities include (but not limited to) - step counting (syncing your…

I played some trial and error with mine and found that I need to eat ~100 calories less than its adjustment to lose at my expected rate. Very similar to playing with a TDEE calculator to adjust for your individual TDEE. However even if I didn't use it for that, it still encourages me to be more active. Why would that be a…

I found that my appetite decreased as I lost no matter how close to my ideal weight I got. It's entirely individual.

ditto ditto ditto I knew that I shouldn't eat more of those pringles or another piece of cake, but I didn't care. I knew that I should be exercising, but I didn't care. I had the knowledge, I just didn't have the willpower. Recognizing that my weight gain was all my fault was the most empowering experience in my life. It…

It's been a few weeks, but here we go!

I've yet to find a listed serving size that I thought was unreasonable. Was it less than what I used to eat? Absolutely! But they work for me for the most part.

Hoping to level this out a…

I work treats in daily. But I do have "no tracking days". Those would be holidays and special occasions and are few and far between. Generally less than 1x a month. I wouldn't have been able to stick to this for the 2+ years I've been tracking if I had to track everything I ate on Christmas or Thanksgiving. What matters is…

I just can't stop eating. If I don't eat every hour, I'm nauseous. I'm trying…

Hi everyone! I'm currently 7w+3 and super concerned about weight gain this pregnancy. I lost 60lbs and really would like to not gain it all back. I'm currently doing sedentary maintenance + fitbit calories. I'm really struggling with nausea and exhaustion right now. If I'm not eating every hour, I'm nauseous. And I'm so…

+1 for c25k A few tips: -run slow. Even if you can walk faster than you are running, that's ok. The goal is to build endurance, speed will come later. -repeat weeks if you need to. It took me three tries to get through the program. The difference with the successful attempt was that I repeated weeks if I didn't feel ready…

Baby doesn't seem to like cheddar cheese, which is my favorite!

Not in the first trimester. First trimester, you should be eating at maintenance. Later trimesters you need to add calories.

Eggs are high calorie?? I'm confused...

Yes, you need to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight. But that's talking about total calories burned, not exercise calories. Your body burns calories just existing, plus all the movement you do everyday (assuming you're not bed bound). The simplest way to get started is to put your stats into MFP and eat what…

Daily, naked, after using the bathroom, with the scale in the same spot. I input my weight into the trendweight website and watch my trends over time.

This. You teach people how to treat you. If you let them insult you and don't say anything, you're telling them that it's ok to do so. If you find a comment inappropriate, you need to say something. That doesn't mean that you have to be rude or yell, but something like the above is completely appropriate.

You're a young male. You shouldn't be anywhere near as low as 1000 calories a day. Men need at least 1500 calories a day and being so young, you really should be higher than that. Yes you can lose too fast. It will hurt you in the long run. The first week is usually higher than normal, so it will settle out a little. BUT,…

I know some people have success with Preggie Pops or sour candies like Sour Patch Kids.

Just make sure you pay with cash so it can't be tracked back to you. I would cut a **kitten**.

Anything that has calories gets tracked. Your body counts them, why wouldn't you?

I just move on. But I try to figure out what I could have done differently to prevent it from happening again.
