I'm sorry but people are always saying this on here and I feel like it's the most worthless advice. If I had good self control and could easily limit myself to small amounts of my "trigger" foods, I wouldn't need to be loosing weight in the first place lol eating a tiny bit of ice cream (or whatever) does nothing for me.…

I'm not doing a low carb diet but I've cut way back on my carbs because they're mostly high calorie and they don't fill me up (personal preference). But I noticed my bloating went waaaaaay down. It used to drive me nuts, because my rings would always go between being way to tight on my fingers to fitting right/a tiny bit…

If you're not hungry enough to make and eat some chicken and vegetables, maybe you're not very hungry! And no, I don't just eat chicken and veggies, but it really helped me in the beginning to think about if I really was hungry, or just bored, or just wanted to eat something yummy (like donuts yum!).

I can sympathize...I have a real problem with sugary pastries. I just don't let myself near the doughnut section at the grocery story :wink: But seriously, I just work some kind of goodie into my calories or else I binge and end up eating way more. Half a cup of Tillamook ice cream is just over 100 calories, and so I save…

1. Because I'm getting married in a year and I want to feel awesome in my wedding dress! 2. So that I don't have to buy all new jeans! They're to expensive ugh

It depends on your height what your walk at a certain speed will look like...my fiancee and I walk/jog/run on treadmills next to each other, and his walk at 4 mph looks a lot different than mine, since he is about a foot taller! If you could go to a track (like at a school) you could time how long it takes you to go a mile…

I think everybody has hip dips, it's just the way bodies are shaped. Actually, the skinnier I am the more pronounced my hip dip is! Since I've gained weight its become less noticeable. I remember when I was young and I first started getting my curves and hips, I was worried that my dip was caused by my low rise jeans,…

The only brand that has worked for me is Nike, medium or strong support. Every other brand I've tried doesn't do anything to keep things from bouncing around.

It depends on your dieting style...I know two gals who've done Herbalife, they both lost weight on it, one kept it off and the other gained it all back plus more as soon as she started eating real food again. I personally don't have the willpower to live on meal replacement shakes...I have to have real food or else I fail.…

I'm the most hungry at night and the least hungry in the morning, and I work swing shift so...I eat my "breakfast" between noon and 2pm, "lunch" around 5pm, and dinner after I get home from work around 10pm-11pm. Eating when breakfast when I wake up doesn't make me any less hungry come 10pm, so I just skip it and don't go…

Also acidic food can be causing it. For example if before your diet you drank your morning coffee with a big breakfast, but now you're having it with only a bananna, that can hurt your stomach and cause acid reflux and heartburn. I'd suggest not eating/drinking acidic foods on an empty stomach or with only a small snack…

•Overnight oats (with almond milk and berries) •Whole wheat English muffin or toast with 1 tbsp of peanut butter with half a bananna •1 fried egg on top of sauteed kale •2 slices of turkey bacon with a hard boiled egg That's what I eat most of the time! Sometimes pancakes at IHOP ;)

I have acid reflux and heartburn that's not connected to weight, and when I eat less it gets worse...I think it's because I'm eating less carbs/bread, which help soak up the acid in my stomach, and my stomach is empty more often. Invest in some tums, they work great for me. When I'm in a calorie deficit I have to take them…

Ugh I feel you're pain :( I had an ulcer about a year ago, and it was the most painful thing I've ever had to deal with. I'm afraid I can't be much help though...I mostly ate a lot of carbs like bread and pasta, as those made my stomach feel better. Unfortunately there's just not a while lot you can eat until it gets…

Being a full time college student and moving in with my fiancee! I went from being on my feet 9 hours a day at work to sitting at a desk 9 hours a day. And when I lived by self I never made big breakfast or dinners...when I moved in with my fiancee I started making big meals all the time and just eating to much because it…

I'm in almost the exact same boat! I shot up from 145 (already my highest weight) to 167 after I was laid off and just starting doing school full time, which meant a lot less standing and a lot more sitting. I've been eating 1200 calories a day, which is what MFP says for 1 1/2 pounds a week. It hasn't been to hard, I…
