    I don't even know what you're asking. You have to eat food and the only food you have to eat is what is at your home. Ergo, eat the food you have. There aren't any other options and there's not really anything to discuss. Peanut butter, ham and cheese sandwiches, and bell peppers for a couple of days aren't going to make you fat.

    Yeah that's true. Okay, IM NOT GIVING UL! IM STICKING, :)

    First of all you have to stop looking at it as a diet. You have to see it as a healthier lifestyle. I never heard that you have to drink 6 glasses of water while on a diet. I think you should drink more than that everyday regardless what you are doing.


    THIS

    Lifestyle change that will be FOR EVER and water is the bomb! I drink anywhere between 3-4lt a day. Maybe add something to it if you don't like it. :flowerforyou:


    Very very true! You guys make me feel so motivated.


    This is my everyday schedule for my new life style for this body of mines,
    9:00 put on my workout clothes
    Workout for 20 minutes in front of tv. (Fitness on demand) and the next day jog and then the next day the fitness on demand, (switching it up)
    Do dumbell side bents at the end and do lunges 50 times

    10:00 eat breakfast
    Drink bottle of water, 500ml

    12:00 Have a healthy snack

    2:00 eat a healthy lunch
    Bottle of water

    4:00 have a healthy snack

    6:00 have a flulfiling healthy dinner
    Bottle of water

    I'm basically drinking water 6 times because 500ml is two cups

    Yeah I've applied to over 21 places and nobody has called me. It's not like I'm depending on my mother because I am applying and I have but i guess nobody is hiring

    Yes, quit your dieting cause it's not a diet, you're changing your lifestyle. You have gotten lots of good advice on this thread already and I just want to reinforce: Fill out the mfp calorie tracker and track that ish, girl. That way when you're short on food selection you are still staying in your calorie goal, which is important for weight loss. Best wishes.

    Eta, spelling.

    By clicking on 'food' at the top.
    But first you need to go to settings, and update diet/fitness profile, to put in your current weight, goal weight, activity level, and how much you want to lose per week (I suggest 1/2 Ib as you only have a bit to lose).

    Also, losing weight isn't going to solve the issues you mention.
    You need weight/strength training for that. Dieting will just lose you more lean muscle, potentially cause your bodyfat% to be higher, and result in an even less desirable look.

    At the top of this page there's tabs for my home, food, etc. The food tab is your diary. Look for the settings button up top and click to get diary settings, then update your goal profile. Sorry if it ain't in that exact order, just play around with it you'll see what I mean.

    Eta, jinx :laugh:

    Make whatever you want, just eat half of what you normally would. That will help cut calories.

    PB may be fattening but has lots of protein which will give you energy. Remember not all fat / calories are created equal.

    Eat what you have on hand and watch your portions. It may not be what you want but it is the best you can do for now. As long as you are conting and controlling what you eat you are working on changing your lifestyle so don't be hard on yourself or your mom. Best of luck to you. Wish I could help.

    I'm applying coco butter everyday for my thigh strech marks. I mean I'll do lunges everyday but If I would need training I can't because I can't afford it, I'm basically doing squats and lunges and maybe it'll help?? I mean I know I'm not obese but I do have a belly which is why I'm on a diet

    Look up bodyweight exercises online, there are loads of them.
    Or try and get a copy of a book called 'bring it' by tony Horton or 'you are your own gym'
    You can do them at home with just your own bodyweight.
    You can also use cans and the like as weights.

    Running is free!! So is your own body for weight resistance! PInterest has some great toning pins and youtube has free zumba and Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It sounds like you're in my position. I have an "ideal" weight in mind, but I've just decided that focusing on body fat may be a better goal for me. It changes body composition more than just "losing weight" You lose inches!

    I am confused though... If you were going to drop the diet... What would you eat? All the things mentioned can fit into your calorie count. Were you planning on adding fast food or something? Because it's a misconception that fast food is cheaper than preparing your own meals.

    Im not quitting anymore. :) Im sticking, I just don't know what can make my thigh strech marks go away. I have a lot on my thighs and I'm tanned so they really stand out because their white as heck, can running and doing squats plus lunges work?
