Never heard of it but had a little google. The price for 28 days of meals with the groupon isn't bad, but no disrespect, I have to laugh when they tout it as fat burning veggies and protein. I don't see they're any different than any other veggies and protein. That said, doesn't look like anything that'll hurt you and the…

If your fiber intake takes you over your calorie needs, you'll gain weight. If it's within your calorie needs, you won't. As your body adjusts, you may temporarily hold onto some water, but it won't make you fat. Drink lots of water to help process the fiber.

How long have you been plateau'd? Progress isn't linear, so it's easy to have a week or two with no loss, followed by a bigger loss than you were expecting. If it's only a week or 2, don't sweat it. If it has been a bit longer, take a look at your logging, weighing, measuring and see where you might be off...overestimating…

If you are still losing with the calorie goal, you're on, then you can leave it where it is. If you find that you aren't losing, make sure you are tracking, weighing, and measuring accurately. If you are and aren't losing after a couple weeks, then lower your goal a little. I never followed the recommendations of MFP when…

I generally don't approach anyone in the gym to tell them anything, but I'm always happy to answer a question if they ask me. I was 60lbs overweight when I started lifting. It was a little daunting, but I just went and did my thing. I'm now in a healthy BMI category, but when I switch up my routine with new exercises, I…

In another another thread you said "I've started eating less than 600 calories a day to speed up my loss. My TDEE is only like 1600 right now, so 1200 is going to get me pretty much nowhere. I'm actually pretty ***** proud of myself for how much self restraint I can show" If that was true you'd not be making it through a 2…

So, basically eat at a deficit and exercise.

My go to snacks at work are cut up veggies, greek yogourt, cheese

3 lbs in 2 weeks is plenty with only 20 to lose. I wouldn't fret too much about that. Only advice is to tighten up your weighing and logging.

On workdays I get up at 430 am, so I can have a quick coffee and then get to the gym by 5. The gym is so busy after work it makes me a little nuts and my routine takes longer waiting for others or working in. I figure it's worth an hour less sleep to only have to share the weight area with a couple other people that time…

If they bite on corn, they might be much like a trout here. Trout will bite on little rolled up bits of cheese or coloured mini marshmallows.

Get some friends on your profile and open your diary so they can see it. When you complete your diary at the end of the day, it will send a note to your newsfeed and your friends can go have a look.

I'm less than 10lbs to my goal weight and been pretty much in maintenance since December. I wanted to head into maintenance mode for the home stretch, but stay just a little under to slowly get those last few pounds off. I seem to have mastered the art of maintenance and bounce up and down in a 5lb range with no true loss…

As a parent, I have to concur with the others who say buy your own *kitten* groceries if you don't like what's in the house

Yes...eat more at your meal or eat more snacks. Have some whole grain toast with your eggs. Have a cookie. Eat a larger serving of nuts. Eat peanut butter.

If you're eating like that little every day, it may not hurt your weight loss, but it will hurt your health in the long run. If it happens once in a while -everyone has days they are hungry or not hungry-, it's not a big deal

I read her post to mean that over a period of days ("leading up to today"), she ate an extra 7000 calories. Not all at once. That isn't that hard to do over a period of time if indulging in calorie dense foods like cupcakes. It happens. I don't think it's enough information to condemn her as binging and unhealthy. Over a…

Your diary will tell you how many calories you ate. Why do you want to try to figure it out yourself? I'm confused.

I've only taken forced weeks off...vacation where the resort gym didn't have anything useful for lifting, illness, etc. I always get back at it, but I pay with the DOMS if I take a week off.

A few inches and 10lbs in 3 months is good. It's progress. All progress is good. As noted, losing weight is more about eating than working out. Keep going to the gym, but focus on a calorie deficit to ensure you're on the right track to keep losing.

I, too, have PCOS. Info says it makes it harder to lose weight, but it''s not impossible. We just need to be a bit more diligent, imo. For me, because I was borderline Type 2 diabetes with my PCOS (that's why I started here), I find eating lower carb makes a difference in my success. I don't do super low carb or anything,…

Put actual food back in your lunch. You diary is locked, so I had to google your shake and it's only 150 calories. That's fine for an after workout snack or something, but it's not lunch. You need to keep this up for the rest of your life to maintain...maybe only a year or 2 for weightloss, but forever if you want to keep…

I'm 5'3" and close to your weight. My maintenance with lifting, yoga, and a lot of daily steps is less than you are eating to try to lose. You have age on your side that I do not, but even still I'd say 1800-2000 is quite possibly maintenance for you, not weight loss range unless you are doing some other activity to burn…

Maybe you're eating at maintenance? How tall are you? 10 miles of what?

You say you overeat and nearly surpass your goal, but if you aren't surpassing, you aren't overeating, so I guess I'm a bit confused about that statement. I tend to save a lot of calories for the evening because I like to snack when I relax in the hour or two before bed. I also try to eat a little under during the week, so…

If you have a David's Tea or can order online I highly recommend the Cream of Earl Grey or the Super Ginger.

If you don't normally do that insensity of physical activity...i.e. regularly run or bike long distances in short times, I'd say it's a bad idea to try to burn 2000 calories in one shot. A really bad idea.

I usually log breakfast, lunch, and daytime snacks the night before. It only takes a few minutes before bed. That way, I know how much wiggle room I have for supper and evening indulgence and plan accordingly

5'3" and in a maintenance range of 137-142. I bounce around in there. I'd like to get to 135, but these last few pounds are a challenge. My original goal was 130, but I look pretty thin at 137, so probably not. Someone recently guessed I weighed 110. I credit lifting throughout my weight loss with keeping me a little more…

Cookies have no calories if they are broken
