I agree with ChunkyBoots. In three months you should have seen greater results than 4 pounds (but remember that every bit counts!). I hope your results were due to the holiday season and not a...

Well, calorie counting is pretty tedious. I'll give your husband that. It works, though! As for meal times at my house, I try to keep them towards the healthy side since I'm not making two meals. ...

I prefer to eat less frequently and have bigger portions at my meals. I generally have 3 meals a day and a light snack in late afternoon to hold me over until dinner.

This happens to me sometimes. What I need to do is get smaller portions or just stop keeping the leftovers. It's too easy to derail multiple days. That said, I do think having a cheat day is...

I posted on here before that I was so happy my husband joined me on the weight loss journey. Unfortunately, he has backslid and I'm going it alone again. I miss the company but I'm not giving him a...

It's mostly vanity for me too, although the health aspect is slowly becoming more important. Really, though, I just want to look fit and sexy.

I just try to distract myself and hope the craving passes. If it doesn't, I allow myself a small portion of whatever it is that I am craving.

I have no idea how you could make chocolate chips cookies healthy. Perhaps you should consider another dessert or make smaller amounts so it's easier to keep from overindulging.

Illness = Easy Dieting?

Well, I have had no issue with dieting this week. I have bronchitis and it's depressed my appetite some, so I've been under my calorie allotment for days. Still, I'd rather not feel so poorly. :(

I have only ever used MyFitnessPal, so I couldn't compare. I wonder why the sugar and protein limits have increased since the last time you logged in.

Skim Milk

Do you drink skim milk for the lower calories? I used to, until I read that having a bit more milk fat helps with absorbing the calcium and vitamin D. Now I drink 2%.

Wow, those would be some rough days. I hadn't heard of this specific diet, although I have heard of intermittent fasting and this is pretty close to that.

I've never thought of drinks as empty calories in general, but that does make sense. I certainly avoid caloric drinks most of the time since I'll just get hungry again shortly after drinking.

Late Afternoon Munchies

Late afternoon is a hard time for me on the dieting issue. I get hungry but I know it's not long before dinner so I just try to hold out. How do you handle late afternoon hunger?
