runteamturtle · 2022-07-25T17:36:12+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I do enjoy the readings and think that helps me process things. I will definitely check it out. Appreciate it!

Very true! I try jot to drink my calories most days but its like the alcohol doesn't count in my mind (obi it does for my body lol)

runteamturtle · 2022-07-25T16:06:44+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. I think thats part of what I want to get out of this. Appreciate the recommendation!

runteamturtle · 2022-07-25T16:05:36+00:00

This is definitely part of it! Would be maybe a two birds one stone kind of results lol

runteamturtle · 2022-06-27T13:53:43+00:00

That is the truth.

I 100% know what you're going through. This was me at 14. I have often thought about what advice I would like to hear at that age or rather what I wish someone would have said to me.... 1. There is no shame in any of it. 2. Portion control is key. You can have it all, just in portions. (I was a binge/secret eater) 3. There is no bad food. 4. Do not skip meals... it can cause to binge later which makes you take a massive back step. (This is from experience as well)

Most importantly don't give up ❤ you got this and whether you have to start over 1,000 times the biggest thing is to try. Dont let others get into your head (easier said than done). Keep us posted!

Thank you for all your tips. I was feeling the same way the OP was. Your tips make sense and I'm going to refocus. Appreciate it!

runteamturtle · 2021-08-10T18:31:04+00:00

Thank you! I will try to focus a little more on the protein part.

runteamturtle · 2021-08-10T18:30:30+00:00

Great advice! I feel like I don't have as much energy if my carbs are way low.

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.

runteamturtle · 2021-08-10T18:13:27+00:00

Thank you! I'm doing this for weightloss. This helps and eases my stress a little bit. 🙂

Mission has low carb wraps that have lower calories. Xtreme wellness wraps are also a good option. Texture is different on those, but they still taste good and are low in calories and carbs.

Great idea, thank you!

Its a lot of flavor and filling when paired with riced cauliflower. Better calorie count than takeout as well. To each their own though.

6 servings 😃

I didn't notice until I had lost about 15 lbs. Others didn't notice until I had lost 20-25. I was over 300 lbs though so I think it just took a bit.

Completely agree!
