Hello FS community! 👋🏻🌞 Sharing 2 more very VERY basic tips that have helped me all along the way! Seriously, log every single thing we eat...weigh it (grams is the easiest for me), measure it, count it, write it down, put it in our food apps, note the macros, etc but we need to own up to every bite🍴 It's the only way we'll ever really be able to track our CICO fairly accurately and know for sure whether our WOE is working for us. No shame, no guilt...just be honest with ourselves! 😇 Being patient is SO VERY DIFFICULT in the weight loss journey...but it's the best way to establish lasting (permanent) habits, learn more about nutrition & fitness (at WHATEVER level we can achieve results) and ramping up our self-care skills....this all TAKES TIME! There may be methods that bring rapid results, but the folks that are able to lose weight and keep it off are the ones that truly 'get it' about moderation & balance. As we start this new week, let's remember to be mindful & patient...with ourselves AND with each other🌷💙🌷 I'm so glad to be a part of this community😊

Sedentary Type 2, What an inspiring story you have! It sure seems harder to lose weight as we get older, but you have shown that it CAN be done👍 And congrats on getting a handle on the Type 2 😇

Do you weight and measure salad greens and fruit?
I typically weigh and measure my proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Fruit and veggies are typically “free food”. Except for potatoes and starchy vegetables like corn.
Thanks

I don't weigh the greens, just go by cups. But the fruit is always weighed...it can really add up!

So you weight an apple? How many grams? Do you save the remainder for another day?
I never really thought about fruit as being calorie dense.

Yes, I cut the apple into slices, throw away the core and weigh it. If I'm not gonna eat the whole thing I put it in an airtight container with a few drops of lemon juice to keep it from turning brown.

Then the app can figure in the carbs, etc for me for my macros too😊
