One person peanut butter cookie: 1 TBS of butter 1 TBS of peanut butter 1 TBS of sugar 1 TBS of brown sugar 3-4 TBS of flour A splash of almond milk to desired consistency When ever I have a little room for dessert, this is a go to. Less than 350 calories.

I love sweets. I was raised in a family that had a little something for desert every night. I don’t fight my love of sugar. I probably have desert 4 times a week. I make small one person deserts so that I don’t over eat. My personal favorites are chocolate chip cookie dough for one (although I leave out the chocolate chips…

Anyone can be a doctor, I want to be a hot doctor.

I have found that what really helped me is I haven’t been deprived at all. I still eat dessert a few times a week, I get my fill of French fries by roasting sweet potato chunks and dipping them in ketchup, I have found healthy versions of all my favorite meals. Truth be told eating healthy hasn’t been hard. But I am the…

Thanks for the pep talk. I shamefully broke my diet today and polished off a box of wheat thin. I did get my work out in and am feeling motivated to get back on the wagon tomorrow. Congrats on losing inches and best of luck on shedding pounds!

Thanks, the more I sit here and think about it the more silly I feel. I am not over 200lbs. I think I am mostly discouraged as in the past 2 weeks I have had zero changes. I was so excited to lose the 5lbs in 2 weeks and now the 2 week lull has left me frustrated. I appreciate the reality check!

I am trying to lose 25 more pounds. I have been measuring my food by volume (actually measuring, not just eye balling) and have been rounding up. I am actually concerned I’m eating too little. I will admit I’ve fudged the numbers a few times so it wouldn’t show I was in “starvation mode”. I’m not under eating regularly, I…

I’m sorry about your dog, but while your heart heals have you thought about volunteering at your local shelter to walk dogs. It would be a win win!

I have suffered from fibromyalgia for many years, what works for me may not work for you, but I find pushing through the pain made all the difference. I took up running and while it hurt very badly at the beginning I have greatly increased my piain tolerance. I also find regular chiropractic care does wonders for me.

Okay, I’ll try eating back the calories I burn and see how that goes. Thanks for the advice.

I should have specified the fit bit picture is showing calories in per MFP and out via Fitbit tracking. My goal on MFP is 2 lbs a week, I am supposed to eat 1200 calories a day but I aim to stay around 1,000. I am not depriving myself though, if I am hungry I have an extra snack and bump up to 1200.

For meat, veggies, and fruits yes. For liquids and powders I trust measuring cups and the nutritional info on the package.

I’d also like to note that I am not going hungry. I am fueling my body with healthy and nutritious foods. I feel great and have tons of energy.

I know fitbits aren’t always accurate, but this is what my calories in vs out are normally like. I am not eating back calories that I work off. I do log everything I eat. I have been making all my meals from scratch so I know exactly what is going in to them. I have been mostly eating protein shakes and chicken with…

UPDATE: Thanks everyone, I just droped 4lbs in like two days. So I am no longer stuck, thank you for all the help and encouragement.

I am under a ton of stress and lacking on sleep. I have been walking, swimming, riding (my horse), and biking for exercise. I am constantly on the go and always on my feet. I am recovering from a broken back and have only been walking for a month and a half.

I'm recoverig from a broken back (which started my weight gain) so my exercise is limited. I walk, ride horses, and bike.
