Please!! I'm trying to lose the last stubborn 8 lbs!!

yes please! SW:142 CW:135 GW:125 I have been slacking bad lately! I need to get back into a healthy lifestyle!

I make a "Power Oatmeal" 1PKG instant oatmeal 1OZ Pomegranate seeds 1/3C Plain greek yogurt 1 OZ Dark Chocolate chips Make I instant oatmeal, stir in remaining ingredients. You can use less chocolate or oatmeal to reduce the calories

All I can recommend is to weigh all of your food. I've recently bought a scale and discovered I was way underestimating my fruits! My daily grapefruit and pear were almost off by 100g. That makes a huge difference. Losing weight is hard, it takes time and patience, don't give up

I love me some coffee! There is something about stopping by Starbucks or Petes before a long work period that make the day start of a little better. I usually get a grande nonfat latte or a cappuccino. They have the "skinny" options and MFP has the calorie counts for them. The skinny caramel macchiato is pretty good, not…

Girl if I could only drink diet soda I would, I love it so much! haha I have it up for 30 days and now I don't even think about it. I know you post isn't about cutting it out, but if you're concerned it is affecting your weight loss, you can try cutting it out for a week and see if anything changes. Physically or mentally.

Maybe try counting your calories weekly instead of daily. This way, if you go over your limit of 1200 on a couple days you can make up for it on other days.

it wasn't until I started using a scale that I realized I was under logging by almost 200 calories a day! i.e. I found of my daily grapefruit and pear were more than 100 g over what I thought! Using a scale is a MUST!

My strategy for "cheating" is; don't plan it. I feel like if I plan a cheat day/meal for Saturdays, I have to cheat because when Saturday comes around, even if I don't feel like cheating I will..because I planned it. Sticking to my calorie tracking and leaving some wiggle room allows me to have cheats here and there…

Two words: KARATE BODY ;)

I DOOO!

so glad I came across this forum! It seems like it would be so much more reasonable for weekends and other random splurges.
