Besides salads and soups what other low calorie high filling foods do you eat?
Foods high in protein or fiber. For protein I eat eggs, chickens, and tuna. Always eat 2 eggs for breakfast and two pieces of whole wheat toast. Tuna and crackers or a tuna sandwich for lunch is one option. Dinner, chicken with some vegetables. I'm not much of a salad eater. Snacks might include a few almonds but I have to be careful to count them out and not graze out of the can cause that'll get me in trouble real quick!1 -
Sunday Weigh In -- Finishing Week #15 (105 days)
SW: 155.6 - 12/4/2016
PW: 136.6
CW: 135.6
GW: 122
My loss this morning hit the 20 pound mark.
Feeling lucky this week for a 1 pound loss. Reasonable eating continued but I had some days I didn't record all of my food - that doesn't mean I was over but a sign my focus is slipping. Made the effort to get 10,000 steps in most days even though my routine was upset by spring break.
Spring officially begins this week. It is an opportunity for renewed focus of our goals!1 -

5' nothing and lost 85 pounds, I'm maxed out on friends but I want to encourage you that you can do it too! It is a bit slower for us short ladies as 1 pound is a greater percentage of body, so be patient and don't compare the rate of change with others. Also, be consistent and as accurate as possible with your calorie estimates as our margin of error is more narrow the smaller/shorter we are. Consistency is even more a must compared to bigger people.
You got this!4 -

Hi there,
I may have posted this before, but there is a thread over on reddit called 'food for small bodies' https://www.reddit.com/r/1200isplenty/
I've gotten some good ideas there.

Hi ladies! Fellow shorty checking in. I'm 5'3" and am consistently appalled by how much more drastic and narrow weight gain/loss is for my body type. It's nice to see a support thread for this If anyone is looking for more friends, please add me! It's really motivating to see others with my stats progress, and I'm all about providing that mutual support. Especially please add me if you're doing a 1200 caloric intake and your diary is viewable - the more ideas, the better!

Wednesday is my "check-in" day and I know I missed last week for the first time -- I was off the grid -- truly-- staying at a wonderful ecoresort -- Concordia on St. John, USVI -- please check it out if you are looking for a place to get away!
Anyway, here are my numbers (a couple hours early -- but tomorrow is going to be a busy one for me!)
SW - 152 (August 2016)
CW - 122.2!
GW - 115 (I'm getting there!!)
Height - 5'3"
AND I cannot say enough about the power yoga studio that I joined in January -- I go 3-4 times /week, the instructors are GREAT, the people are GREAT, and it's changing my body! I'm going to be 60 in October, and I've got a core. And I'm doing side planks. And push ups! Really!!9 -
I am thrilled that I finally feel like I'm hitting my groove and the scale is moving! YAY!!
SW - 148 (Jan 2017)
CW - 139.5
GW - 120
Height - 5'1"
I can feel my pants are getting loser. About 2 or 3 more pounds and I'll have a whole new set of clothes to wear. Can't wait!
I'm at a conference for 3 days this week and need support to stay on the straight and narrow with all the free snacks around.5 -
Hey I'm 5'1 currently at 155lbs, would love to be at least 125lbs, 120lbs would be awesome. I was at 157 a week and a half ago. Just 2 lbs lost so far. I am just doing calorie reduction and eating healthier. I will add exercises soon, wondering if anyone have recommendations for beginners.2

Most of my weight loss exercise has been walking/hiking, but I also did Linda edler's beginner youtube zumba and Leslie Sansone cardiovascular videos for a while. Swimming, too.0 -

I just found this thread and wanted to hop on. I've always kind of kept to myself when it comes to weight loss goals and fitness, but it really is inspiring to be part of a group and see how much progress people are making :-)
Basic stats:
Height - 5'3
SW - 175-ish... I was afraid of the scale when I started dieting so I'm not exactly sure ;-)
CW - 141
GW - 120
A bit of background about me - In college I was in the best shape of my life, weight-wise and fitness-wise. After graduating and getting a desk job, I fell into some bad habits and steadily gained 70 lbs over the next few years. At the beginning of 2017, I decided to commit to getting healthy again with a good diet and regular exercise. So far, I feel pretty great.
One of the other reasons I wanted to join this thread was as a sort of "confessional." Since the beginning of January, I had been incredibly disciplined with both my workout and my diet. Last weekend, I went out one night and totally fell off the wagon for DAYS. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday I ate excessive amounts of the most unhealthy food I could get my hands on (I mean, truly excessive - I don't think I stopped eating for more than a couple hours the whole time). I didn't workout once and felt like I had undone everything I spent the last few months working so hard for. I feel better now that I'm back in my fitness routine, but it was hard at the time and I didn't have any outlet to vent about it!
This thread looks like a bunch of wonderful and supportive people, so I'd love to be a part of it. Good luck everyone, we can do this!2 -

Looking for friends! 5'3", about 40lbs to lose, 60lbs to ultimate goal, but I'm using 40 as an attainable goal. Add me if you eat what you want and love food! I'm honestly not that strict with my food, just trying to stay below my deficit and work out about 3 times a week! Sort of new to this still, it's been less than a month since I started counting again, but have lost 8lbs since late January. I also have a Fitbit if you'd like to be my friend there!
ALSO I'm a Type I Diabetic, so if you are too, please add!!1 -

Hello, I am new to this app and after gaining back 22pounds over the last 3years I feel terrible about my body and my self esteem is at its lowest
I had a few days off work and fell right off the wagon and ate way too much. I am at the heaviest I have ever been &I eat when I am bored or stressed. Reading over all your comments this morning gave me hope and I am now back on the calorie count and exercise plan.
I am 27yo, vegetarian, 5'2", 167.5pounds CW, 132 pounds GW.
I will be checking back to this thread for more motivation when I am feeling low✨ any tips welcome!3 -
Thanks everyone for sharing your stories here. Makes me believe it's doable. I've been adding gradually until I realized in 15 years I've added 30LBs. So, I'm starting on my weight loss now. My stats: I'm 5'2"; 150 in Nov 2016, 157 in Mar 2017, started logoing on Apr 1st and now @155. Current goal is 130. Let's do this!1
