What are your thoughts on programs like WW? In the past i've had success but when I go off its a mess. But its like a budget but with calories. I suppose its the same as regular calorie counting. Intermittent Fasting help with calorie restriction too because you're eating less (ideally).

@Brown.Beautiful: I have never joined any program mostly because I want my relationship with food to be something that's independent of a group. That's also what my dietitian's overall goal is, that I get to a place where I don't need her support. Gaining knowledge and maintaining positive habits is my goal right now.

Everyone, I have a serious topic I want to discuss. 3 square meal a day. Do you do it? I know my people on IF probably don't but some try to fit "three meals" into the fasting period. I've realized that I don't physically need three meals but its such a conditioning.

Also, another thought, anyone into juicing or smoothies?

@Brown.Beautiful: So over the course of the year where I was calorie counting/IFing, I developed a habit of skipping breakfast and snacking my way through lunchtime and now I actually struggle to have more than one "square meal" a day (dinner). My dietitian is not crazy about that and I've been trying to learn to eat a lunch at the very least but I think at this point I'm ok with just subbing my non-so healthy snacks with healthier ones. She's also encouraged me to eat a breakfast but I tried a few days and I'm honestly just over the whole idea of eating in the morning. I usually just have a cup of tea or coffee.

Smoothies were a thing when I was in college just because they were convenient, not so much nowadays. Big non-believer in any "detox" juicing, your body already has a detox system, comprised of liver, kidneys, colon etc.


All the best to all of you ladies!

I'm going to do this without gym or machines. Trying diet and more strenuous activity. I have been diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid and now am on medication which is going to make me gain more weight. Does anyone use a recommended fitness tracker that is the good one to track your exercise and weight? I had a fitbit but it doesn't work anymore -

The iWatch is pretty damn good. I have a Series 2. I got one to sync with my continuous glucose monitor (CGM). That helps me manage my type 1 diabetes. The result is I now use the Health app a lot. It tracks a ton of stuff and syncs with a ton of other fitness/health apps. I'd check it out. Basically, if it's a health-focused app and it's on iOS it probably communicates with the iWatch too.
