~ I checked your diary for today ... up those calories ! Change your macros ... your protein is way too low !!! Implement more one ingredient foods, add more greens, nuts, seeds ... greek yogurt ... " fresh " fruit. You have the right idea ... just not enough of it. There is only one day to look at, I would be curious to…

~ Maybe you could eat less fruits and add some more veggies ??? Where are the " greens " ... you need nuts, whole grains, seeds ... stick with chicken and or salmon. Greek yogurt is best ... limit your fruit intake to maybe 2 servings a day. Although fruit is high in sugar, that is also known as " natural sugar " ... it…

Have you been losing weight now ? If so, at what rate ? When did you start counting the calories ? Are you monitoring your macros ? Your diary is private or I would look at what your consuming to get a better idea of where you stand. Do not starve yourself ... the most important part of the journey is to be happy and…

~ How many calories are you consuming a day ? In order to lose 2 lbs a week ... you need to have a 1,000 extra calories a day left over ... including your exercise calories. Do you know your BMR and TDEE ? 3500 Calories burned = 1 pound lost .... a deficit of 500 x 7 days a week = 1 pound lost When your first starting out…

~ I use three different methods while consuming my calories ... A normal day is between 1500 and 1700 calories ... Then I have the day I do " IF " .... Taking in maybe 1,000 calories in 4 hrs ... Coming off the fast I go into a protein day of about 1400 calories and then there are days I have anywhere from 1800 to 2300…

~ I'm not sure I fall under 99% of the time ... but darn close ! I enjoy one ingredient foods on a regular basis ... my diet consists of proteins, nuts, fruits, seeds, whole grains, greek yogurt, greens, greens and more greens ! I enjoy Sushi on a regular basis ... but all in all ... I consider myself a " clean " eater for…

~ Try thinking of food as fuel for your body ... if you want to be healthy, you need to start thinking healthy. I would suggest you try to plan your day ahead of time ... a schedule doesn't work for everybody, but in your case I feel you would benefit immensely. Try to add one ingredient foods to all of your meals ...…

~ I actually posted a blog in reference to this ... I no longer track my sugar, it just isn't a big enough issue to concern myself with ... most of my sugar comes from " Natural Sources " and I rarely eat any processed foods. If you stick with one ingredient foods and eat a variety of veggies with an equally balance of…

~ Here is an article I came across on this subject ... I do " IF " on a regular basis and I love it ! Almost everybody does it, they just don't realize it ! The time from your last meal of the day ... to your first meal of the next day is a type of fasting, and for some people it ranges from 12 to 16 hrs. It is a great way…

~ My diary is open to the public ... it is very detailed oriented, more so than 95% of the folks on here. With that being said, I do add some days of my " intermittent fasting " ... where the meals are light and only half days. I have a very healthy diet and there are a lot of great ideas in my diary ! Feel free to message…

~ I also have the Polar F4 ... Love it ! Amazon has good deals on it with free shipping. The difference between the F4 and F7 is the F7 is more advanced and not really necessary for the person who just wants the basic numbers. I did have a friend who uses the F7 on a regular basis and loved it as well. If looking to get…

Me ! Ha ! :tongue:

~ I live at the beach ... My life is all about the Ocean. I find my serenity comes from the peace the sea brings to my soul. It wouldn't really matter where I live ... As long as it's on the beach ! For now ... Home is Lauderdale By The Sea, FL ... And hoping one day I will call an Island my home ! :drinker:

~ Swimming is a great way to get your body into shape ... But not only is it healthy for your body, it's your mind and soul that will also benefit from your choice of making water activity a part of your daily routine. Take a few minutes each day before you get out of the water to breathe deeply and really feel the water…

" The "sigh" part, I know I'll need to watch this the rest of my life to keep the weight off... I think I'm ok with that. " The truth is after awhile it becomes your lifestyle and you don't " worry or have to watch " ... it becomes " normal " and eventually you wonder am I eating enough ! Diabolical, right ? I know ...…
-
~ By acknowledging you need to make a lifestyle change ... your well on your way. The main thing is to stay focused ... it won't be easy, I won't lie ... BUT it will be totally worth it ! As others have already mentioned don't " starve " yourself into failure ... do the research and find healthy options for food choices…

~ Indulge in " small doses " .... make sure it is completely accountable and fits in nicely with a well balanced day. After awhile the " need " begins to diminish and the healthier choices become favorable. Don't deny yourself ... just be smart about it. :flowerforyou:

~ Have Sushi dinner and great conversations ~ I know ... I'm lame. :flowerforyou:
-
~ I honestly believe everybody has to find what works for them ... eat at night and see if you gain weight, if not ... eat whenever you want. I have tested this theory and can honestly say I see a gain every time I " graze " before bed .... BUT, this doesn't mean it is an actual " weight gain " ... the mystery about our…
