January Sleevers ❄️

I don't show if you should or shouldn't have cheat days, but I know I do with regards to what I eat, but I still make sure to not eat too frequently. It works for me, but that could be just me. Also, if I'm going to "cheat" I just try and make sure to work out extra both that day and the next. When I'm doing vigorous cycling I might even need to eat an extra 600 calories just to get me through a five hour ride. But I always lose weight when I do those long rids, even if I end the day over 1500 calories. Today I went on just a 2 hour ride but according to myfitnesspal that's over 1600 calories and I doubt I'll eat over 900 for the day.

This is not a diet, it's a way of life. Change those old ways of thinking about dieting that led to yo yo cycles of weight gain. If you want something, earn it, and enjoy it. No guilt required. That's my two cents.

A small 4 ounce container does not hold a 4 ounce chicken breast by weight dependent on preparation etc

Anyone been told a simple way they to know how to convert/ guess what your getting when not able to weigh

Example, chopped/diced/solid has different volume

I think I'm putting more in myfitness pal than I'm actually eating and I'm lower on calories and Protein than I think.

A piece of meat (chicken) that weighs 4oz should be about the size of a deck of cards.

I am still around, I have been going through a lot! On Thursday my 7 month old niece passed away and I have been a mess! But before this I already had lost motivation. I am not eating bad things, or over eating. I usually skip meals all together or don't keep track of what I eat and I have not worked out in 2 weeks. It seems like everything and everyone else around me needs something from all the time. I am still losing weight it's just coming off very slow! My surgery was 1/15 and I also had my 3 month check up my doctor says I am doing great! I really just feel so overwhelmed and heart broken, I can't get back into my routine. Was planning on working out tomorrow but my 2 year old preemie baby has the flu, also I have nobody to watch her my daughter who did help has a new job and school so she is always busy. My husband is always working. I know I sound like a big whinny baby, by all means I am not trying to make up excuses I just can't seem to catch a break. I am praying for things to start falling back to place. ???? I am down 62 pounds, and that is a great feeling it has not even been 3 months since surgery I have no regrets! I really just need to refocus!! Hope everyone else is doing good!

I signed up on okcupid, a dating service and was shocked by how much of a wanted item I've become. I did it about 5 years ago and after a couple months had interest from only a couple women. Now, after three days I've been contacted by 14 women. What a difference 80 pounds makes

Question! Is anyone else having trouble with tailbone pain! My heaviest weight was 324, I am now 262 and I can no longer sit or drive for more than 15 minutes because the pain on my tailbone gets really bad! I am just wondering if this is normal!

I feel crappy today. I have been on strong antibiotics for almost a year and some days they nauseate the hell out of me. Happened yesterday and I had such ferocious dry heaves that today all my chest and back muscles hurt. I'm afraid to drink Water because that exacerbates the nausea and I'm afraid to take my meds today and that's making it worse too. I try to stay positive but some days I feel like this friking lyme disease is totally sucking the life out of me.

Sorry for the whine.

Sorry you are feeling crappy today! I am in the same boat ???? since I had surgery on and off I get really bad pain on my right lower abdomen. I have been to hospital and they never know what it is. The pain is not there all the time just sometimes but when it's there it hurts so much and I get nauseated I am in tears. I have so many other good things going right now but when I get like this I can't stay positive! I just wish I can feel normal ????. I will be praying for you!

Taking time away from the site. I have nothing new to report and to be honest. I'm a whats now going on a three week stall. In fact I even gain 7lbs. I don't have a clue how and I thought it was Water weight but I've been flushing my system with water enough to know it is not. I just need to go back to basics and do a pouch test. So when I break my stall I'll be back!
