Hi! 31 y/o 5'6 CW: 139 GW: 130 Wedding in 6.5 weeks. :) "I think I can, I think I can..."

You can manually add up your macros at the end of the day for more accurate numbers. Take fat grams and multiply by 9. Take carb grams and multiply by 4. Take protein grams and multiply by 4. Add up and there you go. I tend to put this actual number in the notes section. Sometimes there's quite a difference between MFP…

Yes, the nutritional information listed on the bar is inaccurate. They've subtracted calories for each gram of fiber. Take a cookie dough Quest bar, for instance. The information listed is: 190 calories/ 8 grams fat/ 21 grams carbs/ 21 grams protein 8 grams fat x 9 calories = 72 calories 21 grams carbs x 4 calories = 84…

They are very tasty and filling, but they give me really bad stomach ache. I just think it's the amount of fiber in one little bar. It's nearly a day's worth.

Just checking in to say hi gals! Be back later for more.

Great work! Do you see the difference between cardio vs. cardio + weight training?

Spinach is a great veggie when going so low cal. It's nearly calorie free, it adds volume to food (especially raw) and is high in fiber, so it's filling too. I try and add it in things like egg white scrambles, smoothies, as a base for chicken or tuna.

Love that goal/challenge of stopping after dinner. I, too, find my weakest time to be after dinner. Well done! What time are you eating your last meal? What time do you go to bed? I'd like to employ a similar tactic; I think it'd really help.

Hi folks! Thanks for the welcome :) Happy to be here. Seems like a supportive bunch. Do you guys keep your food diaries open? Mine is. Feel free to friend me. What strategies or things have you found that work? This journaling/friending/accountability is a BIG help for me already.

Nicki Minaj Pink Friday is a fun one!

Keep in mind, you can wipe out a week's worth of deficit in a few hours of a binge.

Calories always.

Think of how much chairty/donations you'll be able to give.
