fixmyself

I'm from NJ! Wouldn't have it any other way :blush:

Totally understand! A few years ago I would have eating competitions with myself. MYSELF. And I would go through gummy bears like it's no one's business. I honestly don't even buy them anymore! When I do, I eat a serving and give the rest to my brother and sister

I definitely agree with the protein statement! Protein is the main thing that keeps you fill since it's harder to digest. My go to snack is usually a handful of almonds!

I cannot eat mushy fruits! Like if a banana is slightly overripe, I can't eat it. I like it when my fruits are firm. Also, cooked carrots. Blegh!

I was once a total victim to this, so I looked at one of the books I had (The 17 day diet) and this is all true! Thanks for summarizing it :D

pay less

@jpaulie‌ i totally agree with the snapea crisps! Delicious :D I'm usually all for sweet things, so my go to sweet thing is two mandarins for 70 calories. They're so good and sweet AND I get two! :)

Amazing! Congrats OP, hopefully we'll all reach our goals this year :smiley:

loll the research article argument was pretty intense to read, but back to the point. OP, I'm trying avoid refined sugars because sugary foods are a trigger for me. once I have one cookie, I'm really tempted eat whole stack! do whatever works you. It just so happens that I can't have sugar in moderation just yet.

I've always wanted to try it, but I've been kinda scared to! I'm in, hopefully this will end well :)

Amazing transformation! Did you do anything special?

Definitely all for this! Name:Rosa Height:5'6 Starting Weight (1/1): Goal Weight (1/31): lose about 7 lbs 1/1: 1/8: 1/15: 1/22: 1/29: 1/31: Loss/gain for the week: Loss/gain for the month so far: Struggles or successes of your week:

Same here! Today has been a good day for me so far :D

Where I'm from, we have a breakfast food called "fateer". It's amazing, but way way way too greasy. As it turns out, fateer is the equivalent of baked puff pastry in the US. *gag*

I'm more focused on my eating habits, but I hope I'll incorporate some kind of exercise along the way! Feel free to add me!
