I love raw mushrooms sliced on sliced cucumbers. Salt, vinegar/lemon, pepper, garlic powder and hot red pepper flakes. I can make a huge plate for well under 100 calories. Yummers

Beef! 100% real Beef. So freeking expensive just for ground round. Which I am treating myself next months shopping trip. A real beef burger!

You'll be a good influence on her, hopefully. Congrats on your progress 7 Lbs Awesome! I just out of curiosity looked up 44 oz coke and full size snickers bar, so 462 + 250 = 712, 30 minutes moderate intensity workout even burning 1/2 the 712 is still 356 calorie burn (that's a hella burn for 1/2 hour) so yeah more than 2x…

I like this example :smiley:

Well said. I finally did up my intake to give me a 0.5 Lb loss per week to 1420/set at sedentary + 20 to 50% workout calories. I am feeling great which makes me think I can keep this up as my lifestyle. 1200/day, I was weak and my workouts/energy suffered.

I think (know) I won't take them. I don't recommend them and I would avoid all types of them. imo.
-
Maybe not faster, but definately more sustainable. I'm losing size still, the scale moves slow (which is fine with me), i also add exercise and now recently added 4x/wk lifting 1.5 hours/sessions. It's still calories in/calories out, for me that is.
-
I second that! Thanks for the motivation :smiley:
-
I have no answers, but very interested as well. I do lots of cardo, but only just started lifting a bit over 2 weeks ago, 4x a week, 1.5 hours (approx) per session. I don't know if it's mental, or real, but I feel stronger. I am eating at a deficit and still learning where my calorie goals should be at. I don't feel…
-
They could, but I like Hot, really hot and some varieties of wasabi peas can be hotter than others. I have had some where I have to just let my toung "sweat" in between bites. So, a serving can last me a while. I also drink loads of water, which doesn't really stop the heat :tongue: I did and still do make the mistake (I…

I love veg, no doubt, but I like to have loads of veg sometimes w/ full fat dressings/or a low cal dressing and extra full fat parmasean, I love full fat mayo on broccoli or salad with vinegar. The fat adds more calories as well, but it tastes better, i'm fuller longer, (bathroom trips are more pleasant)..etc. A BLT is not…

Woot woot! Totally awesome OP!
-
ohhh yeah! I love them. They are not too different calorie wise, about 40 less or so per 35gm, but they weigh a bit less so more volume and whoa they can get hot, so I do eat less. I love peanuts, but I could go overboard easy, hot or not. That and the oh so lovely crunchy peanut butter!…

I'm being a bit selfish in this thread, because I'm still learning my calorie balance. I think 1800 calories a day is very safe and doable for losing .5 to 1 Lb a week, so long as the exercise is consistant. I don't think I would lose more than that without the exercise. On days of no exercise (outside of daily stuff,…
-
I am thankful for that as well. I can imagine how maddening it must be to be famished after a workout. I enjoy the buzz it gives me as well as the great side effects, quality sleep, focus (mental), attitude, etc. Also what you mentioned about water. I am making the habit of drinking a lot directly after and/or durning…
-
This is where exercise helps me lose size. By clearing my mind, I mindfully eat. When my mind is racing or jumbled I would eat mindlessly, not even tasting what I was eating after the first few bites. Now I take a long time to eat what I am eating, feel full faster and longer as well as understanding if i'm thirsty or…

Yup, workouts supress my appetite. I have learned that it's that I'm actually thirsty. I quence my thirst an I have no desire to eat for hours. But my mindset is changing the more I learn. I workout mainly for the "rush" of endorphins. So much better than Ativan! I sleep better, i'm more patient, I just "feel" all around…
-
I agree. I can eat a lot more food, with cucumbers, tomatos, fish, chicken, and fresh fruit...etc Such variety. I will in the future have a treat, but this type of food feels like a treat to me and I eat till I'm satisfied. Also, I find that since I started disciplining myself to down 20 oz's of water right after or…

I just googled this. And I can totally see how some can get the wrong idea about exercise burns: "A 130-pound person swimming freestyle for one hour will burn 590 calories swimming fast, and 413 calories swimming slower. A 155-pound person swimming freestyle for one hour will burn 704 calories swimming fast, and 493…

I'm so glad you said this. I don't want to read this article, so now I don't have to. I was having a lighter exercise day yesterday. I had to run a bunch of errands (I don't include that in my exercise calories in my diary) and walked 100 minutes + 32 minutes of step aerobics. MFP burn calulates 760 calories burned. I ate…
-
No deaf ears here. I did the same throughout my life. Sometimes life circumstances would happen and I just would not eat and after, thought "happily" at the time, wow, I lost weight, just to put it back on plus more (wow, should there be so many comma's in that sentence?). Then the times I would just restrict so much and…
-
Quite reasonably well said :smiley:

Me likes this method of thought :smiley:
-
I totally get it. It was tough at first, but for the meantime, I just cut them out of my plan (for now that is), but I am getting to the point where I will start having some chocolate, ice cream, etc. I am (for now) sticking with fruit, yogurt for my sweets. I've been pretty good so far. Hubby's having almond poppy seed…
-
You meant 195 :lol: But, seriously, just keep reading and learning. I learned that weighing my food out, exercise and patience is paying off. I still am learning. You made the start, you'll get there :smiley:
-
Good Man he is!
-
Wow, I'm in an ultra nice mood tonight... Must be the yummy salmon, asparagus and rice dinner :) Love them omega's. OOOhhhh and a night time walk, then a fresh fruit plate with yogurt :smiley:
-
Me too, but maybe she'll be thinking about it and the lightbulb will turn on for her.
-
Remember the media, mags, IDK, but "they" were claiming that there was negative calorie veggies and fruit. Ohhhh, I so wanted that to be true! But, yeah, i'm sure the OP (hopefully) meant very few calories in the veg.
