:lol: So true! Kale, spinach and chard also go nicely. Protein powder, a little ice, some cocoa powder unsweetened if you are in the mood, frozen fruit, half a banana, ice cubes. It's delish, the texture of soft serve ice cream, and mine comes out about 330 calories for 16+ ounces of yum.

I hear some positives - you like several steamed green vegetables, you prefer plainer food so less fancy, calorie laden, cooking-intensive meals. If you get bored in the kitchen, play music, listen to an audiobook, or play a game or browse MFP forums while you wait for the timer or the boil or whatever. You're not doing…

Belly, thighs, chin. HUGE difference. Give yourself a giant hug and keep on going! You got this, and I so respect your progress.

Have a Charge 2 for the past 1.5 years. When I set my activity level as sedentary on MFP (very important), log calories on MFP accurately, sync my Charge 2 and eat back many but not necessarily all of the calories I get from that, I do lose or maintain at about the rate I would expect.

Headed out for a run a couple of weeks ago. Love my furry workout buddy!

If you're breast feeding, you will want to check first with your health care team about anything that affects you nutritionally, right? That said, all weight loss works by creating a calorie deficit in your body. Some people find special rules/guidelines like intermittent fasting, keto, being vegan, eating no added sugar,…

Right with you except sugar-wish is triggered by "MAN I AM STRESSED" or "I DON'T WANNA BE HERE ANYMORE HELP!", rather than boredom. Sometimes herb tea. Or I walk around a little, quick break helps a lot. I just try not to walk near the leftover sweets or the deli :grimace:

I totally hear you, good for you and take good care of yourself. You DO deserve better!

My dog loves rough and tumble play. I put on something that can get totally furry and sit down on the floor with a tug-toy. She does the rest and makes me laugh at the same time, which helps with the stress SO MUCH. Sometimes I just have to find my most significant of others, say "just venting", and let it out, unfiltered…

Stepping on that scale again = hard! You already did that - honesty, self-disclosure, and you shared your results here. So that's the first hard step! I am a loser and regainer too, and as you see many others here understand your feelings. You can do this! I am trying to get back in touch with what worked for me before,…

Sitting out this round friends, I am logging and doing well, it's just a time management thing.

Read this My Fitness Pal blog from the very first entry. She is a wonderful writer with an honest, inspiring story. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/The_Movie_Chair/

This too. It's actually not "clean" that matters for loss, it's deficit. One underestimated (or in my case, blush, sometimes UNRECORDED) cheat day a week can very easily erase my 6 days of 250-cal/day deficit.

I agree with the above. The closer to goal, the game changes. Cheats matter a LOT more, adherence matters more, the difference between a large and a medium fruit matters more, and watching the trend or rolling average instead of each day's weight matters more.

@rheddmobile hugs your way, I too have had to reset my goal to .5 down as I had about 8 to give up over my weight where I was happiest in maintenance. It was pretty hard at first and only the past week have I been able to get any consistency going. Right here with you. Also hear you about the veg - we are on a challenge at…

I'm still rumbling around between 133 and 135 and plan to post my chart again in a week, since that will be exactly one month. Hopefully that will give me some added incentive to stay under my calorie goal. Did manage a run a couple of days ago, the dog now loves me: coming back is hard, had some sore spots.

We grow spaghetti squash; IMO can get away with tomato sauce IF it's cut with a little lemon (I canned my tomatoes with lemon) and has some shrimp cooked in the sauce and draped over the top. But of course I like anything with shrimp on it. Other favorite way, with pesto, sundried tomato, and pumpkin seeds. Can't wait to…

Sounds like you have a plan! My only tip is, you will not lose weight unless you eat fewer calories than you burn. We can overeat calories on keto, on a balanced diet, on a vegan diet, or with any other way of eating, so it pays to log accurately. And patience pays off too - once you are eating at a calorie deficit, loss…
