Thanks everyone! I will definitely try to add in tbe egg whites, that’s a great idea. I have made egg white muffins before and I don’t care for them, I think it’s a texture thing, I find myself gagging trying to eat them lol

Feel free to add me! I’m shooting for about 50#!

This thread is so inspiring! I’m just getting started again with my weight loss journey and I can’t wait to experience all these joys!!

I appreciate the input! My main goal for now is just to get used to logging food again and making better choices with it.

Thank you all for your help! I think that’s one of the reasons I did so poorly on another program. The coach told us not to bother counting fruits and vegetables because they were free foods in her program and we should eat as much of them as possible and only worry about counting proteins and carbs. I had very little…

Thank you for the insight!

I’m tired of being the girl that gets overlooked. Guys I go out with always end things with me and say that I’m awesome and easy to hang out with but I just feel like my weight is a factor in there that they aren’t mentioning. That might just be me over analyzing but I want them to see what they’re missing out on! It’s…

I’m a medical laboratory technologist and my schedule is dreadful. My “routine” schedule is 10:30p-7a Monday and Tuesday, “off” Tuesday, Wednesday 2:15p-10:45p, 1030p-7a Thursday through Sunday, off Monday and Tuesday, 2:15-1045 Wednesday through Friday, off Saturday and repeat. It’s an awful schedule and my supervisor…

I know that I could. When I initially lost the weight, I was in college with a set school and work schedule so I knew when I had time to hit the gym and when to mela plan. I’ve already requested to be set to straight afternoon shift. I don’t necessarily want afternoons but it’s a sacrifice I need to make to get my health…

Thank you everyone. I do have trouble with the all or nothing approach. I have a terrible habit of trying to do everything at once and then when I stumble I give up all together. It’s like there’s two sides of me competing, the one who wants to lose weight and feel better and the one who says forget it who cares. Today I…

Thank you. All of that really hit the nail on the head.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice!

Thanks everyone! I had no idea you could go on their website and calculate the calories there, I just checked it out and it's very helpful!

Thanks everyone, this has been helpful. If anything, I undershoot what I put on my plat just incase I've misjudged somewhere. I do measure things when I have to eat at work (I work at a restaurant where everything is deep fried) so I know exactly what I'm putting in but when I'm at home I use my measuring cups and thats…

Hello! I'm 5'1", 21, and currently weight around 185. Although I'm aiming for body goals rather than weight goals, I have a short term goal of being in a size 12 (I currently wear a 14) by October. But I also would like to see my weight drop down to 140 eventually and then maybe go down from there. I'm taking this from an…

Thanks this is really helpful! I had a feeling 1200 was a bit much (or rather too little) to start out with but I wasn't entirely sure. It's been bumped up now so we'll see where I get with that! I think my main problem is that I get worried about starting out too softly and then not losing the weight, I just have to keep…

I did have it set at 1.5 lbs a week but dropped it to 1 lbs. Thanks everyone for your help, this is all really confusing and it's great to have the extra support!

Well, I'm 21 and 5'1" and my current weight is about 185. I have a goal for 140, but I'm mainly sticky towards body goal, like being able to fit into a certain size jeans and what not. My lifestyle was sedentary but I've started working out and plan on 30 minutes 6 days a week and i plan on amping it up as I get more into…

What alternative can I use instead of the almond milk? I'm allergic to nuts lol :) I use ultra skim daily, would that work as well?
