Im also in the "order it" boat. Just maybe watch a little closer for the rest of the week

my husband's bowl, mine is about half the size but doesn't look as pretty. - braised beef and daikon radish, sauteed bok choy, a fried egg, all over rice

Lift! I am a walking example of being "skinny fat", where I don't weigh much but just about every piece of my body was soft. So that doesn't just disappear :). I started lifting and trying to build muscle 3-4x a week and in combination with eating well to get fat off, already feeling things firm up a little after about 5…

I took a peek at your diary and I think you could feel a lot better with a few different choices. Ex - one day you ate 6 hersheys pieces with almonds for breakfast , 300 cals. That barely fills the tummy. You could fit something like a big old smoothie and eggs in that same calorie range but it will keep you fuller longer.…

For some reason the only thing I like my strawberry protein in is plain oatmeal.

I do soup and breadsticks and get veggie soup when I go there. I also eat a light breakfast and try to stock up calories for a big meal at a restaurant

I use vanilla protein powder mixed with a bit of cream.

chinese recipe - stir fry egg and tomatoes (add tofu if you want) , excellent over rice. quick and healthy . Sounds gross but it's great

In my opinion that's a pretty big loss. 4 lb in 15 days is A LOT of weight gone! Gj

Feel free to add me, put in the friend request message how I could best help you (comments, encouragement, looking at your diary, chatting, etc.) , Im pretty much at my goal - maintaining and working on building muscle right now

see results to the eye or see results in the gym (more weight, more reps, etc)? I noticed after a few weeks of heavy lifting that I was getting stronger and could add more weight, but it has taken a lot of strict dieting also to lose fat in order to see visual results (which I still don't have as my fat is still a bit too…

Im honestly jealous that you're able to easily eat that much protein lol. I struggle to get mine up. I think that's a good amount!

I personally refuse to own a scale because of this reason. I weigh myself every few weeks at my gym on their scale. I get discouraged by fluctuations and know a scale would be detrimental for me emotionally.

When you reduce portion sizes it takes a bit to get used to, but after you get used to what a REAL "normal amount" is it's honestly surprising.

i love the kodiak power cakes. They taste so good and like normal pancakes

not really good for you, but I like to snack on cheerios. Less than 100 cal for a little cup and there are a ton of them so it feels like youre eating a lot lol

I stir fry it or saute in a touch of butter, garlic, and powdered chicken boullion . So good. It's also good dropped into chicken soup

I use C4 preworkout. I dont think it really helps weightloss but it does help me have more energy to put more time and effort into my workouts so I guess in a way that helps weight loss. You still are going to need to bust *kitten* and eat at a deficit to lose weight though. Preworkouts , eh. I like mine and prefer to use…

make a bunch of hardboiled eggs for the week...those individual cottage cheese cups, greek yogurt, protein bar, Kodiak cakes are tasty protein pancakes. Im weird and like cold pancakes so you could maybe make a batch then just eat them rolled up or microwave them real quick

Halo top ice cream lol. 240 calories for the pint. I made a pint last a few days. I've found just cutting it mostly over time though has made me crave it less. Don't deprive yourself too much , just set aside 100 cals or so a day for a bad snack, that's what I do :P

I eat dinner between 7-8 these days and another small snack at 10-11pm. Usually go to bed around midnight

Just bought Enlightened frozen hot cocoa ice cream a few days ago... 160 calories per cup , decent protein and fiber too

My fitbit has also been not working this week with mfp and worked fine before, no settings adjusted. Might be bugged

I have 2 german shepherds :)

a piece of lasagna and some broccoli :)

why not just add like some scoops of protein powder to milk and drink only 2 glasses of milk or something? I think you should bulk with food though instead of liquid only I don't drink milk anymore. All the hormones in it and stuff used to make my skin funky and the problem went away after I stopped drinking milk.

Evening and then I come home and eat dinner

the one in my town is amazing. Month to month payments, no contract, cheap, clean, and never crowded. I think it depends on the individual owner though

Zumba is my only cardio, but I get REALLY into it - I found an instructor who makes the workouts difficult (some are easier). I absolutely 100% recommend it. it put me in really good cardio shape. I love having zumba friends on my list so feel free to send me a request :D It's addicting!!

I think there are slight differences. Your stomach looks more firm in my opinion. It's a little hard when the positions and lighting are different. I'd get a measuring tape and just start measuring at some interval you pick, maybe once every 2 weeks? :) Good job though!! Check out this article. This guy took 6 progress…
