Drinking will definitely have an effect on weight loss, the problem with alcohol is its empty calories. I feel your pain I can easily put away a couple thousand calories in a night out drinking, it's been something I've really had to work on cutting out from my lifestyle. Now when I go out I may only do 3-4 shots but work…

A freezer full of used left socks she's collected over the years. Also, socks in jars and socks hanging from the ceiling.

Speaking here from a medical standpoint: Over use of any acidic food or liquid in the belief of weight loss can be down right dangerous. The body is set up to counter act a certain amount of acidic or alkaline substances with what are called buffers in the blood stream to maintain a neutral ph level, but when one bombards…

General rule, 5 serving a day for produce. Invest in a food scale. I always go over 5 a day for produce though.

I live off about 180 a month for just me soo 45 a week? I don't eat any beef or pork and rarely eat chicken or fish as a personal preference. I try to buy organic when I can and drink almond milk, and I go through a lot of produce. I drink a cup of organic coffee daily and usually make it into a coffee protein shake.

awesome job! I love making meals ahead of time for the week.

I take a quart sized water bottle with lemon water to class everyday at 9 and finish it by noon when my first 2 classes are done. I then refill it and drink it throughout the rest of the day. One quart is 4 cups so that gives me 8 cups a day. Quit soda last year, had one the other day and found I no longer even like the…

Oatmeal with apples agave and walnuts, takes about 5-10 minutes. I make big batches of food and freeze it in 2-3 portion containers so I can pull one out during the week and have a few pre made homemade dinners. I love making chili(1 can eachkidney beans, garbanzo beans and black beans, tomato sauce( depending on how think…

High intensity exercise helps me a lot

Lol the magical land of tomorrow where diets start! Gotta start now! Like the previous poster said, diets are temporary, lifestyle changes are the best way to go and are best for maintaining the weight once you've worked so hard to lose it :) ! Fruits I. Place of sweets, have you tried baked apples? I love those. I've…

Thanks!

Guys AND girls should be able to wear whatever the hell they want! as long as it doesnt break dress codes for work or special occasions or fancy restaurants.

a couple weeks ago I binged and all I ate that day was fruit gummies and an entire bad of hot cheetos... It was so good but I was so sick after! :#

I love chia seed ice tea, although I add the chia seeds to the tea when it's hot so they absorb the liquid better. It's best to let it then sit for a few hours in the fridge

Sounds tasty

Are you eating a lot of processed foods or pre made stuff? I could see how that could put you over.

Fruit like bananas and apples, banana chips, almonds are a great choice. lol I remember being a kid hiking in Yosemite and we had that awful cheese in a can! Jerky if you eat meat, but be careful as its calorie dense, but good as it provides protein and is light weight to carry.

totally

probably

I suffer as well. I have cut out processed foods, and regular milk for soy/almond milk. I also can't ever ever ever have any red meat. Interestingly, organic coffee I do fine with, nonorganic and I would literally throw up all the time and never knew why, until till I switched to organic! I try and shop sales and get as…

Congrats on quitting smoking, I know how hard it is, I quit last July. I'm also picky, I don't eat beef, pork, eggs at all either and only sometimes chicken or fish. I'm not a breakfast person so usually I'll make a bowl of oatmeal with whole rolled oats, water, a splash of soy milk and honey. I some times add in fruit or…

I love having salad with tomatoes carrots and celery(with low calorie dressings and not tons of add ons ie no croutons and cheese type stuff) and a bowl of lower calorie soup with dinner helps fill me up. Also, what you described sounded really carb heavy and lacked fruit and veg. Produce is a great way to stay healthy and…

tomato sauce can cause acid reflux, or other foods you may be sensitive to. Try some antiacids

Discount grocery stores are my best friend, we have a place called grocery outlet here in Oregon and I buy healthy organic food for dirt cheap

432 calorie dinner of vegetable cabbage soup, a spinach lasagna roll, cuties mandarin orange, and a piece of 19 grain garlic toast(made with an olive oil spray no butter).

Stick to whole grains, avoid refined flour, and eat in moderation.

I've been doing wraps for lunch, I weigh all my ingredients, it comes to 368 cal total 1 med whole wheat tortilla(130 cal) 1oz cream cheese (99 cal) sriracha (2 cal) 3 baby carrots sliced thin (10 cal) 1 cup mixed baby greens (10 cal) 2.5 oz broiled chicken breast cup into strips(117 cal)

High fiber, lots of veggies, fruits, and complex carbs and protein. People always say fruits bad because of the sugar, but its natural sugar and good for you! I say its so much better to binge on a big delicious bowl of watermelon than a tub of icecream! Plus the high water content makes you feel fuller while hydrating you…

I use medium whole wheat mission brand tortillas, 130 cals. Whole grain/wheat will be much better for you than those made with refined flour
