For me, it helps to portion things out. I use my scale and measure the exact amount for the calories I want. For example, if I want only a 100 calorie dessert, I figure out how many grams that is and portion that out for myself. Then I put everything away, and I *walk away*. If I still want more in 20 minutes, I tell…

Hiya. I think I can help with this. After a lot of years of looking at what works best for me, my nutritionist and I decided on a goal of 15% protein, 65% carbs, and 20% fat, so I'm where you are with macros right now. It works really well for me. Honestly, all you have to do is log the calories. I've lost a lot of weight…

How much do I share? Everything. But it's on a volunteer basis. I don't get interrogated, and he doesn't do any interrogating. In the span of our relationship, almost everything has come up at one point or another. He has all my passwords, but not because he "should". It's because I trust him to check websites for me when…

Hi! I love your message; I'd happy be friends. :-)

Being able to surf and dance again! (And looking good in a swimsuit wouldn't hurt, either.)

Yes. But keep in mind, that can be a lot of calories. In my own weight loss, I have to figure out what's "worth it". For example, an appetizer with friends? That came out to be a shocking 450 calories. 1/3 of my daily calories isn't "worth it" in my mind. I'd rather have a much more fulfilling meal for that amount of…

I tried it for a while before I went plant-based, and it was a little too restrictive for me. That said, it's a really good program for some people (my Mum loved it). I'm in the same boat as you weight-wise though. I'd love to add you. :-)

Thank you! :-)

I had this with my cats when I had them. Also certain articles of clothing. I'm really not sure what it is about these particular items that causes animals to feel the need to "let go". I started storing mine in the closet and shutting the door. My then Akita decided to rebel in the name of her feline companions, and…
