  • This is practically word-for-word my same answer! I say thank you and make sure to point out that it's something I'm working on because I'm proud of that. If they want some more info I emphasize that it's the calorie counting that works for me, along with my exercise.
  • Boxing and kickboxing is great if you're looking for "interesting" exercise. I hated most exercise until I found this 6 years ago, and it's still engaging and helps relieve stress so much. Like the others have said, I don't think you need to get to any certain fitness milestones before starting. Sounds like it might be a…
  • Day / Weight / Comment 09/10 - 143.2 It's been a lot of snacks and treats and no meal prepping for the past 10ish days. Add a TOM (and the fatigue that accompanies it for me) to that and I'm feeling a little rough! But I'm ready to turn that around with my meal prepped lunch salads, healthy dinners, and lots of water. Went…
  • There is a "breastfeeding" listing under exercise - cardio calories, if you wanted to be able to adjust it every day. Or you could change your goal settings to "maintain my current weight", and let your breastfeeding create the deficit for you. Or you could change your activity settings to a little higher to account for…

  • I agree with modifying your calorie goal to give yourself some more room! 2 lb/week is a lot with only 30 pounds to lose. As far as your actual breakfast, I'm always amazed at how many calories wraps/tortillas are! I shouldn't be at this point, but it's something that always "feels" light to me, but can have a ton of…
  • I just measure what I like to add to my coffee, instead of trying to replace: 1 tablespoon of flavored Coffeemate, 1 packet of Truvia in my 12 fl oz tumbler. 35 calories.

  • Sign me up!! I was out of town for the end of 87 and skipped 88. As fun as it can be to eat whatever and not hold myself accountable, I'm done with it! Time to get focused :smiley: See y'all tomorrow! Age: 31 Height: 5'8" OSW - 169.8 lbs (Sep 2018) RSW - RGW - 142 lbs UGW: 140 lbs Round 81: SW 150.2, EW 149.6 (- 0.6 lb),…
  • I’d input the row as 20 lbs, since that’s what you lifted. But since it’s just for your own tracking/motivation, I think you’re fine wither way as long as you’re consistent.
  • I like it, for the reasons @Aint2Proud2Meg and @Caecile84 mentioned: it's a way to keep today in perspective with the big picture. I calculate and track this myself on a spreadsheet, but I look at the min and max of each week and plot it as a range. For the last 6 months that I've been tracking this way, my actual weight…
  • 9 weeks is SO QUICK. You're still healing, your body is still sorting itself out, and you are LITERALLY producing food for another human being. Your body put that weight on over 9 months, don't beat yourself up that you haven't lost it. Sounds like you have a lot going on already with two kids, keeping up with nursing, and…
  • Day / Weight / Comment 8/21 - 143.0 Slight fluctuation up from where I ended last round, but all within normal range. Yesterday was good - no snacking, ate my packed lunch, dinner came together well (another easy favorite: Gnocchi Skillet with Sweet Potatoes, Green, & Goat Cheese. I add sliced chicken sausage too, and it…

  • On my computer, I’ve been having some trouble with deleting items with the red circle, in case that’s what the OP is referring to. I press the button and it just doesn’t go away. My workaround is to just set servings to 0. It’s still in my diary, but not adding any calories.
  • I was thinking about this last night and thought of something that was an ah-ha/light bulb type moment that helped me from a few years back when I was looking to get in shape/lose a few vanity pounds. I realized I was thinking about losing weight and how to do it ALL.THE.TIME. But what was I doing to achieve it? Not much.…
  • Alright, this is it, my last round before heading to the beach! I ended with a big loss last round, so I'm setting a modest goal weight with my real expectation being that I can keep all my days under 145 before my trip. I have a few social events/celebrations in the next 10 days, but nothing that should really throw me…
  • You've gotten some good advice in here, and hopefully you can see that there is no one-size-fits all approach. So give yourself the time to figure out what works for you. If you screw up, don't just throw it all away: use it as a learning opportunity and do some troubleshooting. For example, what was your state of mind…
  • Day / Weight / Comment 08/11 - 146.6 08/12 - 147.2 My weekend out of town wasn't a total free-for-all, but it did push the scale up a little more than I would have liked. Tired and not feeling well today, but using that as a reason to and not an excuse to not get back on track today! 08/13 - 145.8 Back down a little and…

  • Day / Weight / Comment 08/01 - 146.8 I seem to have a very special ability to get a nice low weight on the first day of a round, so that it's hard to compare back to at the end! ;) But I jest, I'm not complaining about any loss. Especially because yesterday I gave into those fast food cravings for lunch - but also made…
