Ohh I hate the term clean eating. It's like nails on a chalkboard.

I look for people that have mutual friends, or we seem to connect here on the forums, or through other friends profiles. When people friend request me, I ask for a message because I want friends that are invested enough in me to at least read my profile first :) I don't want to collect friends, I want to make actual…

I'm a terrible person. I agree with you on the annoyance of MLM schemes, totally.

I love fruit.

My question was arrogant?

So you got cancer from aspartame?

Cue nightmares.

I have a few sips with dinner most nights. I prefer to eat my calories in general, but I also enjoy coke. I've lost plenty of weight doing just that. So it's really a personal choice. :)

My two favs right now are: carrots and Laughing Cow french onion cheese and vanilla greek yogurt with blackberries.

I think there's a group on here with lots of information. Lots of people on here have had success with it. Good luck!

I had the same thing happen to me a few minutes ago. Just go to your diary, click add food, click the recipe tab and add from there.

Hahahaha. I don't use that machine, so I can't contribute on that end. Yoga, though...........

Ya'll are killing me.

*shudder*

If she's eating them a few days later, it's okay. Banking calories is pretty common. OP, what are your goals?

Well there's your face.

A higher number on the scale one time does not indicate failure. I log daily. I feel like it's taken the power of the scale away. I know that day to day, my weight is going to change a bit. And I'm okay with that.

Greek yogurt with blackberries and a protein bar. Oh and coffee.

I use Starbucks kcups. Pikes Peak Roast to be exact, but I can do their House Blend, too.

I guess I'm odd. Since I've lost weight, I feel like I look better in pictures than in the mirror. I have a really distorted image of myself though and I'm able to be more objective with photos, I think.

Consistency.

That's more than her TDEE though. Are you suggesting a person can lose weight by eating more than they need, if they are low carb?

I agree with this. Also - it sounds really gassy.

You can certainly eat more and still lose weight, but it won't be the 2lbs a week you selected. My recommendation is to eat between 1400-1500 and eat half of your exercise calories back. That puts about 20% your TDEE as a sedentary person. That's a pound a week loss rate, roughly. Info here:…

Being diagnosed with insulin resistance.

Good. That will help you a *lot*. This is worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjKPIcI51lU&list=FLxRg_80KHM-BdcHvV7nkgfg&index=2 Also, you've adjusted your intake as you've lost weight, right? The less we weigh, the less we get to eat.

Coffee.
