I always thought of it as 1-2lbs, never this much. I never knew it could be as much as 5lbs of weight added! If I cut back on the sodium today, and keep having strong gym days, when does the water retention "break" so to speak?

Bump

Mac and cheese. Every meal of every day. Forever.

I def need to get back on the bandwagon, I had been gradually losing weight all year and then with finals and the holidays everything went out the window. Ive tried to get back on it but ill end up having 3 days of healthy eating and then a bad day, and I lost all my desire to work out. Im at 178 and I want to get down to…

Hey there =) 5'10, Current weight 178, Goal weight 165

Sorry he said 200g protein, ~60 fat and the rest carbs, not 60 carbs lol.

I seriously love all you guys!

I would guess something with the whole wheat pasta, like you said, and maybe a primavera so you have a lot of veggies? Cheese is usually not too healthy, so maybe not that. But a pasta primavera, whole wheat and ask for grilled chicken on it? And have a salad before too!

Its not a movie, but Bravo has a special it usually shows, the 100 Scariest Movie Moments. Its clips, interviews etc, like a 5 hour show. Its so good though! They did a follow up like, 30 Scarier Moments and its not as good, but I love to watch them both!

It sucks but I gave up alcohol. When my friends go out, I get water. Last weekend we went sake bombing and to karaoke on Friday and Saturday and I didnt drink either time. It sucks being the sober one or denying yourself a good time but I still had fun and was gladI didnt drink, because thats liquid calories, and when I…

Eat if youre hungry, dont force yourself. Just keeping a net above 1200 and youll be fine.

They have Szechuan Style Chicken or Shrimp. It says Everything Steamed, no Oil with fat free sauce and white/brown rice. I feel like that might be ok...? And if I get that I have no idea how to log it on here! Grr =(

I like to cook some up on the stove, a little bit of butter or oil, and just cook them peeled until they are really soft and add cinnamon and nutmeg to it so it starts to have that sweet taste without being overly sugary. Then top lean pork! Serve it with some rice and veggies!

I had the same problem. I love cheese but everyone seems to be against it. I use Laughing Cow or Weight Watchers spreadable swiss cheese wedges sometimes.

A cup is exactly that, 8oz. Eight 8oz cups a day is recommended, but I try to go for 100oz minimum, which is about 12.

Im following what it tells me on here, for 2lbs lost a week, and so far thats pretty much what ive been averaging.

Im 5'9-5'10 and just logged in at 189. I had a Kashi bar and water for a quick breakfast, an early lunch, (a turkey and a little bit of cheese wrap) and a half a peanut butter sandwich with milk at like 5 before my two hour drive home. At home I had like a cup of pasta and a few tbsp of meat sauce. And I walked to and from…

All really good tips.

See, I weighed myself and saw that it had fluctuated up. Now I know it was probably water bloat, but it encouraged me to eat really healthy for the next few days, which I think helped me in the long run. Now im down two pounds. =)

It comes with bands, and im planning on using those on a door instead of a pullup bar because my apartment has little space for a bar. I would have the time to do it too. I thought that if you had bands you didnt need weights.

I literally feel ill....and sad for her...

MFP doesnt take a lot of things like incline into it, so for example ill do like 4.5 miles at 4.5 mph, and it says it should be like 600 calories, but since I put my treadmill at the highest incline, I end up doing like 1000. It the app you has maps the route you walked and maybe knows if the streets or path you did has an…

I usually try for at least 300 calories for breakfast just so I know its somewhat substantial. My go-to is honey nut cheerios, 1% milk, and a banana.

I was the same way, now trying to get on track, good luck =)

Im actually having the same problem, I have like 1400 calories to eat (not including dinner) so itll probably end up being like...800-900...and ill eat some almonds and a yogurt but still!

Def in, =)

Yes you can! I was like you, on here but not really "on here". The community has helped me so much with sticking to my goals. While my weight hasnt gone down too much, im happy with my diet and my working out! Good luck!

I got those looks just a few hours ago! Its ok because we all know our goals. Today I bought a bunch of fruit and wheat thins and some of those individual cheese wedges and yogurt and the cashier made sure to count out loud all the fruit I bought!

You have to weigh yourself jsut once a day, and some people only do it once a week. If you do it more than once a day, it will fluctuate like crazy. Like, Ive just been learning about net calories and im WAY low, and yet i still gained 3 lbs from this morning. But tomorrow mornign, ill be down most likely. So no need to…

Sometimes I dont mind a day of bad eating. Everyone here reminded me today that one day of bad eating wont ruin everything and its good to have a little cheat day every once a month or so.
