I find for me eating foods high in carbs don’t keep me full as long as foods higher in protein. Like a bowl of cereal in the morning and I was hangry in an hour. But Greek yogurt keep me more satisfied longer. Also drinking a large glass of water before a meal seems to help. It is different for everyone but if you keep a…

Back on the wagon again and looking for some active friends to help motivate!

Please add me to this group. I would love to lose 30 by December I play volleyball and hike and am watching how I eat. I stay motivated most days but have my stumbles. Would love to be part of a fun active group.

Low carb wraps with grilled chicken, let, onion, tomato, cucumber and feta with a drizzle of a Greek vinaigrette. Ground turkey chili, apples dipped in vanilla yogurt with some pecans...

Thanks for the helpful post. It is nice to know I am not alone. I have tried them different times of the day but they keep me up at night if I take them too late. I am going to try some extra water and maybe some yogurt vs. fruit to see if it helps. I actually have more energy and feel better when I take them it is just…

I might be wrong but are you staying hydrated? A common cause of low blood that can lead to dizziness pressure is dehydration.... just a thought. Are you spacing out your calories thru the day or are you only eating a couple of times a day?

Seems way too complicated. Buy the precooked bacon and log it that way. #lazygirlsolutions

I like to change things up. Taco salad with ground turkey (Greek yogurt sub as sour Cream) I like to make an Asian stir fry, and grilled chicken with bruschetta on top. At a bar we used to go to they had a great steak with mushrooms and onions on top and I have started to make that at home. Today I roasted a turkey breast…

Umm seem to me you are eating the calories u r burning... I lose the best then I do the 1200 calories and do not up my intake when I exercise. Additionally I lose the most when I eat low carbs and stop eating at 6 pm.

Snacking while board is an issue for me so I started by getting a huge glass of water and drinking it down and then painting my nails. I am not even too much of a girly girl but it distracts me and then I do not want to ding up my nails... or I flip over to my Pinterest motivational page and do a quick home workout. I was…

I agree that he was most likely saying that M&Ms and cookies are not healthy choices. In no way do I think he was saying that you were fat. I think he was saying you were lacking nutrient rich food, which in your case works for you. One step at a time, right? I think you are on the right track about the calorie dense food…

One of the most motivational quote I have seen is "because the next few months will go by no matter if you workout or not." I guess it struck home is how long will I live being mad at myself when I am the one who can make the change. There are so many things out of my control but this is something I can do something about…

umm, I am a little confused. You put on in one week what took you a year and a half to loose? I am not really sure how much weight that is? Not really sure how to advise you on this as are we talking about 5 lbs or 40 lbs or more. Each one has it's own set of issues.... not sure if you are looking for a that sucks get back…

My doctor diagnosed me with POC and put me on metformin. I before putting me on it I was losing without a problem, now I am eating 1000 calories a day and working out and not losing at all. Have anyone had metformin hurt their weight loss???

Baked eggplant parm with panko breadcrumbs. Tofu lettuce wraps. Refried bean tostada. Stuffed portabella mushroom caps.

I find ways to reward myself after reaching small goals. I try not to make it food based... Watching a movie I have been wanting to see, a new nail polish or lip gloss. Depends on you personality... Food planning not just for the day but for the week make it much easier to stay on track and using the 80/20 rule helped me…

So what is your 30 day challenge? I just started my 30 day ab, squat and push up challenge. ..

I am in too.

Binge eating can be caused by a multitude of things, at least for me. Being aware what is going on is half the battle. So when we are in the moment it is hard to figure out why we might be binging. Am I emotional, stressed, too hungry. Logging what when and why you are eating might help identify where the issue is coming…

The half portion is a good idea. Try to stay away from fried foods such as chicken or eggplant parm and lasanga. Also any cream sauce is going to totally blow your calories. If you like spicy some italian places have shrimp diablo tends to be a healther option. It is a spicy marinara dish. Not sure what your offerings…

I had seared hawiian seared swordfish with a soyaki drizzel a squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro. Under 200 calories and mouthwatering...

I am in the same boat. I lost like 55 lbs and then gained alot of it back. I have all sort of excuses but it my own darn fault. I would like to be friends and get on the fitness path.

It does sound like you have a lot going on, I think we all feel like it is hopeless at some point. When the scale is not moving in the right direction for a week even though we have been really good, when you are exhausted and do not think you can deal with yet another problem. When hubby is being a jerk, or when the kids…

Ohh gosh I feel your pain. I can say I do not have a total grip on my emotional eating but I am working at it. The water trick is good advise, but here are a couple I have used. I do not let myself get too hungry especially in the late afternoons. After the stress of the day combined with hunger any little thing could…

I am looking to get back into the progam. So totally life changes gave me some excuses to let myself go but as of today no more. I would love some friends that are on my same path....

I am just in the process of getting back into running and the lifestyle I really want for myself. kne of the tools I am using is couch to 10k app. It is an approachable way to start running again...

I am interested

Look at june 2015 challange on the motivation and support page. That looks like what u might be looking for...

Add me. I am in the same boat!
