After losing my job, transportation and having an unstable living situation, depression consumed me. I lost all the progress I'd made in the gym over the last few months (40+ pound loss) by eating my feelings, trying to feel better. Finally, I decided enough was enough, I went to the doctor, got a mild mood stabilizer…

Sandwiches and salads were my big thing. After I dropped 80+ pounds in college, I took a job in a bakery, and though i stayed away from the sweets, I had a sandwich breakfast/lunch) and salad (dinner) everyday (I was a shift manager, so it was free). The sandwiches had 600-900 calories each. The salads were around the…

Recently I got, "Where'd you go?!" I was confused, until I realized she was takling about my weight. Last I checked, I was still here, I've also gotten "Yeah, you were -big-"

I manage to stay within my calorie limits 95% of the time. if I go jsut a little over, I go for a walk. I don't tell myself no for some things (aka birthday cake, the occasional candy bar) That just means I have to cut calories elsewhere. I use MFP alot like a bank account. I can spend my money (calories) on anything I…

Why would adding each thing you're putting in be inaccurate? Just make sure you're weighing the amount you're adding and it should all work out in the end.

The whole "eating breakfast" thing was due to having something in the morning (hopefully) prevents you from binge-eating at lunch. Honestly, it comes down to calories in vs calories out, doesn't matter when you're eating them. Eat all your days calories in one meal if you want to. You might be starving the rest of the day,…

Just finished Day one, Level 1. I.....wanted to die. This was the hardest 25 minutes of my life. I wanted to give in, she wouldn't let me. I told her to go f@$* herself a few times, aloud, but it got me through. I spend 4-5 at the gym for 1.5-2 hours, and this still kicked my butt. That being said, it was free on youtube,…

Rice cakes and an apple. Apples are packed with fiber, which will keep you full in between meals.

I love California rolls. but they're full of mayo, avocado and white rice. Try for a brown rice version if they have it, and log it.

Never ever.

I think small-breasted women are far sexier.

You're better off on the meth diet. It makes your teeth lose weight too!

^^ Works every time. Just to help the sting, I like to add that I'm fantastic in bed.

5'7", last time i dropped weight I plateaued at 190 for a really long time, no matter how long I spent in the gym. That was a hard mark to get under. I'm hoping it'll be easier this time. I'm about 39 pounds away from Onderland.

If you don't have the MFP app for your mobile, I recommend it. It's quick, easy, and has a barcode scan feature. A few days of "screw it" is fine, but if it's a week or two, I think you should definately still keep an eye out. Maybe not as much because it's vacation, but be mindful of what you're putting in to your mouth.…

I chose not to have a vanilla latte. (250 cals) and went for the regular drip coffee with a touch of soy milk. (~25 cals.) I grumbled then, but feel great about it now after looking at my macros.

"What?! Oh. My. God. How CAN THIS BE? Oh. Right. Fat kids looove cake."

I feel like pasing out at 1,200. I get serious brain fog, can't think. So I'm at just under 1,400 and that extra 200 cals seems to make all the difference. But I understand the guilt. I just had to get to the point where if it fit in my macros, I allowed myself to eat it. Pre-log everything. I had a slice of cake on my…

Answers require stats. Also, the maximum for healthy weightloss is 2 pounds per week.

I have breakfast yes, but I don't eat it M-F. I drink it. Almond Protein shake FTW.

28 pounds in 90 days = 0.3111111 per day. 2.3333 per week. So right on track!

Fantastic job. Keep it up!

As I make my living as an Editor, it's hard sometimes to let glaring errors go. Usually I just roll my eyes and move on. Everyone makes typos, and it's a forum, not a corporate newsletter.

I too have a desk job, and pack my lunch beforehand, including my snacks. They are pre-packed and prelogged on MFP. So I can eat tehm at any time during my work day, but once they're gone they're gone! That way I know what I'm eating and don't have quite as big a temptation to visit the vending machines. Also, as someone…

I love almond milk. I'm not so in to dairy products any more (They make me break out) also, plant milk (such as almond milk, coconut milk, etc.) is usually lower calorie and great in my breakfast smoothies. I have them almost every morning. I also mix almond milk with my protein powder, helps cut the calories but still get…

This exactly. ^

I'm looking forward to running my first 5k, and to passing the Police Academy physical test in a year.

You were fat because you were eating too many calories. #thetruthhurts
