That's awesome, great work! 👏

I have an older Fitbit Alta and like it. I may upgrade to one that's waterproof when the new ones come out so I can wear it in the pool or while paddleboarding.

Eat the ice cream :)

I hate lettuce too 👊 I'm losing weight on chicken and ground beef and all kinds of foods, some of which are probably considered "whole" others which are not. You can do this.
-
I try to stick close to my %s. 45% carbs/20% fat/35% protein but focus more on the calories. I'm not hungry and I've been losing steadily all month.
-
I'll drink an herbal tea, there are tons of flavors out there with a little sweetness to them that help me when I have that sweets craving. Good luck!
-
The Sriracha lime fried green beans from Habit. So good....I split them with my hubs but ate the whole burger 🍔 😁

The easier you make it on yourself, the more likely you are to follow through. Maybe put together meals that don't have to be heated? I often carry tupperware with a meal of rice, veggies and chicken with some kind of spices/sauce to work and don't even bother to heat it up.
-
I like chicken breast in the crock pot with a dry rub of spices. Gets nice and juicy, and shreds up real easy. Makes meal prep really easy.
-
Maintenance periods are good. I would suggest that you continue to log your food and exercise, even while on maintenance. I know for me, it keeps me in check. Whenever I try to maintain and go off MFP, I go off the rails and have to lose again.
-
I eat back some, but rarely all, of my FitBit calories (unless I'm honestly so hungry that I need them!)
-
I started IF (16:8) a little over a month ago and didn't notice a change in weight until I got back onto MFP and got serious about logging again. So, I think it's more about the tracking (for me anyway) but the smaller eating window does make it easier for me to stay at/under my calories :) I also pre-log everything so I…

It might make sense to invest in a Fitbit that will track it for you. It's not 100% reliable but since it's tracking your heart rate it's probably more accurate than a guess from the database would be.

I love Armchair Expert and American Glutton but I've got a list of at least a dozen that I listen to pretty regularly! Once you get hooked on one, it'll often lead you to another.
-
I have a really high prescription and was worried I couldn't go to a cheaper online source but I just got a pair from Zenni and they're great. They can do the high index so they're not super thick. I'm hooked. Even with the high index and major prescription I still paid less than $100 and my last pair from my optometrist…

I like Aaptive for at home workouts and just recently started 99Walks. Both can be geared to your level of comfort and experience.
-
I have a hard time with protein too. I get what you mean about that chemical taste. I've tried a ton of brands and flavors and haven't found one I enjoy yet so I just use them when I absolutely can't fulfill my macros with food, or I end up mixing in fruits or veggies to cover it up.
-
I've been doing 16:8 for 3 weeks. I'm not hungry until noon and it makes it easy to stick to my calorie limit. I'm consistently losing about 1.5 pounds a week.
-
Go to apps and devices and see if your watch is there. A lot of wearables connect with MFP.
-
I like to marinate and grill a ton of chicken breasts. Throughout the week I'll use them on salads or use various sauces or salsas to make them taste a little different each day. Roast a couple pans of vegetables too and then you've got a bunch of meals for the week.

C210k totally works!
-
Spin class!
-
My goal was 169 for years but the lowest I've ever gotten to was 173 (US size 10) and that was pretty ok with me. Now I just have to get back to that after falling off the wagon for a while...
-
I use Rx and LaraBars as a treat or a way to stave off hunger if I'm out somewhere or at a meeting and don't have good meal options. I keep a stash of LaraBar minis in my desk drawer. Only 90 cals and perfect in a pinch!
-
You can always just do the math. Carbs minus fiber equals net carbs.
-
Tell her to measure instead of weighing for a while. The scale can be unmotivating when starting to lift but the payoff is in the inches.
-
That's It fruit bars are pretty good and only 100 cals.
-
I try really hard to not eat added sugar, including artificial sugar. It's difficult because they seem to add sugar to EVERYTHING these days but if you cook a lot and read labels well it's totally doable.
-
I did it last year and it totally worked! I actually ran an entire 10k and I'm definitely not a runner by nature. Keep it up! It works!
-
Yes to all of this! I make these all the time. You can throw anything in them you like and then in the a.m. just grab a few and go. Easy peasy.
