I miss being able to eat Nutella out the tub, one heaped tablespoon is a few hundred cals though so not worth it!

Sounds like you're overthinking things. Eat at the goal MFP gives you, not going below 1200. Use a food scale to weigh all solids. Eat around half your exercise cals. No need to avoid any food unless you have a medical condition. If you're not sure if you're hungry or not drink some water, chew gum, brush your teeth. You…

In the nutrition tab on the phone app you can see your total cals for the week. Pros - easy way of seeing 'banked' cals for treats or weekends etc. Cons - personal thing but sometimes when I eat a tad too much I'll say oh change my goal from 1.5lb a week to 1 so I have more cals, and then when I run out change it to 0.5 a…

So many girls in my work selling Juice Plus and similar rubbish. I just smile, look at them blankly and nod.

Recently I've been having fat free greek yoghurt mixed with cocoa and low cal sweetener, only 100 odd cals, maybe 200 odd with fruit.
-
This :) You can lose overall fat but you can't change the size of your hips.
-
Luckily for you it has zero effect on weight loss :D
-
Add cottage cheese, greek yoghurt, peanut butter etc, all high in protein.
-
Steak, mushrooms and cottage cheese :)
-
Yep I log a week in advance, if I'm going out for food/drink at any point I'll just quick add an overestimated amount of cals and then adjust accordingly.
-
Sounds about right for me over the holidays tbh! But yeah it's probably just water weight, I wouldn't worry :)
-
Yup, I used to work in Subway and I'm not from the US.

Just eat a high calorie dinner when you get home then, also by law they have to give you at least a 20 min break for every 6 hours of work so you could have a snack or lunch then. You also get free lunch as an employee so you could have a 6 inch turkey or chicken sub with lots of salad.
-
I got one too! Not going to sync it with MFP but will be interesting to see cals burned and HR, especially when I quit smoking after NY :)
-
Yep :') back on it after New Year and bf got me a fitbit yay!
-
It wasn't a smug little statement, I enjoyed reading the rant hence my following sentence.
-
Erm, how about just 'meal'? That was quite a rant.
-
He will eat whatever I put in front of him when I make our dinner, even though he knows he can have whatever he wants. He will also ask me if i have enough calories before bringing treats over :)

You are losing weight though right? Your logging is off because you'd be losing more (albeit unhealthily) if it was accurate, but you're losing so no need to reduce intake. A food scale is still recommended though so you can log accurately, if your food isn't weighed then you don't know how many calories you're actually…
-
Yeah just tap 'net calories consumed' under goals and you can enter whatever :)
-
Also not necessary for weight loss, so much nonsense on this thread. Exercise helps yes, but all that matters is eating less than you burn.
-
A lot of this is rubbish, you don't have to cut anything out unless you have a medical reason. Enter your stats on here, buy a food scale, weigh and log everything and stick at it :)
-
You've already been given options on your thread about 'toning up'. Eat at a slight surplus and lift heavy :)
-
Yeah it did, those are the only options to 'tone up' :)
-
Yup :)
-
IMO it's healthier to not care what strangers on the internet have to say about your own business.
-
Why not just ignore them and get on with it?
-
If you're 250lbs then you must eat more than you think, overeating makes you gain weight and nothing else. Enter your stats on here for 1-1.5lb loss a week, buy a food scale, weigh and log everything. Try this for 3-4 weeks and see if you lose then :)
-
I have to admit I'm a lurker. I accept all friend requests and I do have a quick scan through the news feed but never comment on things. I'm not being rude, I just genuinely don't have anything to say to statuses like 'Caved and had some chicken wings today' or 'Smashing it in the gym!'. I also find it pointless commenting…

Fellow stopper and starter here too :) on it for the long haul this time though and 16lbs down. I think once you get past the first two weeks and realise that it is actually easy once you're focused enough, you become used to the routine and don't want to ruin any progress :)
