I drink...pretty regularly...love wine! It has not stopped my weight loss, I count it like everything else. Congratulations on the new baby <3

I have chronic low blood pressure, but I can always tell when it dips down a bit more, because I crave salt in the worst kind of way! Potato chips = life for me :D

I have to agree...it's no different than my fitbit telling me to move...which has helped me tremendously...just by tracking my steps, I end up getting competitive with myself and pushing my limits....so this bottle, I'm interested in and it's for the same reasons as you. I do not drink enough during the day...in fact I can…

This happens to me too. Every time I hit a milestone I freaking panic and want to eat anything that isn't tied down. I definitely feel it's self sabotage for myself, but I'm honestly not sure how to prevent it. I will typically eat at maintenance a few days and then I feel I can tackle my deficit again. This has helped,…

I never gave up carbs, or alcohol, or sugar, or eating late at night...or anything that people keep telling me is not good for weight loss. As long as I burn more than I eat it seems to work out just fine :)

Plug your stats into MFP...log all of your food accurately by weighing all solids and only using measuring cups for liquids etc...and repeat daily :)

I am a recovered anorexic going on 8yrs. I starved for a decade...roughly 400 to 600 calories a day. Since recovering I have gained weight 3 times in my adulthood (my 3 pregnancies). I'm losing the last of it now eating a lot more than 1200 calories. I just wanted to add that my metabolism didn't suffer any lasting…

I will add this...If you are eating that high of a deficit your body may be holding on to water...I was anorexic myself and when starving there was always a couple weeks where nothing would happen and then the weight would fall off very quickly (I was told under the stress of starvation my body held onto water weight, then…

What's sad is how many people will try and copy them or even twist this and use it to hide eating disorders.

That's what everyone tells me, but I just find them too rigid, funny enough I love crispy potatoes chips so I don't know what the *kitten* is wrong with me :D

Ok I'll throw my quirk out there. I do not eat the pointy ends of french fries. If a fry has one pointy end and one square/rounder end I'll hold it at the pointy end and eat down to the point. If the fry has two pointy sides I'll break one point off and then proceed as above :D By the time I'm done an order of fries…

Yeah today was a calorie bomb for me too...but I will wake up tomorrow and start right back at it and so will you. One weekend won't undo all of your success.

I used to eat 600 calories when I had an eating disorder....and there was no denying I had an eating disorder. I am living proof my body never went into starvation mode or stored calories or stopped fat loss. I honestly believe unless you were experiencing significant weight loss before then you were probably consuming…

Congratulations on your success! You look amazing!

I'm happy for your accomplishments!!....but I won't give up my sweetener or my alcohol :D

I tended to overeat if I was bored. So what I do now is take whatever snack it is out of the kitchen and move it to the dining table. I walk around the house for 5 minutes and reevaluate if I still want the snack. This helps two ways 1. I get more steps in and 2. I've had time to figure out if I'm truly hungry. If I still…

You look great!

This is me right now! Waiting for the scale to drop...hanging on to all hope and trusting my efforts. Thank you for sharing your experience :)

Is it possible for you to save more calories for the night time? I don't like eating breakfast so coffee is it for me...and then I save most of my calories for night because I'm a night eater. Life changed for me drastically when I realized I didn't "need" to eat breakfast/early in the mornings to be "healthy". I always…

I love beachbody! Keep going, your results so far sound great...keep the effort you'll see results.

Me too. Sleep deprived mom...as long as I manage 5 or 6 broken hours of sleep I feel on top of the world :D I do feel like I have more energy for workouts if I can snag a bit more though :)

I was anorexic as well and I tend to obsess over my scale...even now I can't pass it without hopping on it, the difference is now I'm curious to see the ebb and flow of the numbers throughout the day and find it oddly calming and refuse to panic over what it reads. I do not recommend it though if you feel it's a potential…

Well as a former anorexic my body never stalled its weight loss...my body never went into survival mode or any other mode...I just kept getting thinner and thinner...for years...so I guess my body follows the math equation and my reality is different then.

I have drank regularly during my weight loss...I limit the days and bank calories for it. So far it's been working for me...honestly I had to find a way to fit it...it's all around me in the culture where I live, so avoiding it all together would've isolated me and made this process harder for me...you just have to find a…

For me I will take a few days and eat at maintenance to break the monotony of it all. Then I feel refreshed to keep going and jump back into a deficit :)

Ok...so my go to family dinner recipe sites Skinnytaste.com Slenderkitchen.com Emilybites.com Cookinglight.com Allrecipes.com Slenderms.com Dashingdish.com Hungrygirl.com Pinterest.com I'm the only "chef" in the house... and these sites have been Godsends to me Any recipe my family likes goes into a binder for further…

You mean...laxatives? Because I don't know of any foods that make you lose weight. Are you looking for healthy recipes? I'm confused by the question....there is no food that I know of that burns fat off of me...If you find one let me know. If you're looking for recipes I use the following sites: Skinnytaste.com…

Some days I go over...most days I do better....we're human. This journey is fluid...don't beat yourself up over one day :)

Great job...keep up the good work :)

Congratulations! You're doing great :)
