Dark pit of pain. Or super weak like i cant move my arms or legs.

See my diary :) If you eat dairy & eggs those are good too.

Pre-packing: baby carrots, apples, nuts, jicima slices, cucumber slices with lime. Out & about suddenly hungry aint ai t going home yet: grocery store trip for persian cucumber, luna bar/something similar, vitamin water zero. That's fast food.

Broccoli. Huge salads...HUGE lol. Cauliflower. I love vegetables. :3

Gotta let my dogs run around! Then I'm like alright breakfast so they can go on a proper walk.

Get a food scale

Love chai tea by celestial. They have a number of different kinds. I add usually 1/4 cup of coconut milk and 3 packets of sweetner (which have 4 cals each...dont be fooled)

*booty :)

When I started last summer, I did the 30 day shred because it was straightforward & kicked my *kitten*...exactly what i needed after so much sitting on my *kitten*.

Yo! I'm on here a lot, if you need one of those constant mfp friends haha.My stats are pretty different from yours but our goals of health I assume ae the same :) A few initial tips: browse other people's diaries for food ideas. Read all those threads that are like permanently on the forums (guide to sexypants, etc.). Log…

If i know im gonna be away, i pack stuff. If I suddenly find myself out and hungry and dont intend on going home, i hit up a grocery store & get (usually) a persian cucumber, a protein bar or something similat, and a vitamin water zero. When i was eating dairy, a greek yogurt also was good in place of the protein bar.

How about vlogging instead of a book. Easy to watch, quick.

Tomorrow is a new day. And dont stress TOO MUCH about letting today affect tomorrow (i.e. dont eat 600 calories tomorrow to make up for it or something like that...it may lead to another binge!)

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Good for you for being determined to kick the habit again! We can totally do this. MFP is wonderful for support. :)

Unfortunately you just have to accept the slowing down as part of the process. Congrats!

Im worried dive bars will not be nearly as fun...haha

Yeah another problem is I'll go out, then the next day be like "did i have 3 pints or 4? Oh and my biddy refilled my glass from the pitcher before ibwas done with it...wait that bartender gave me a shot..." no good for honesty when i cant recall lol

Yes because our heart needs some good blood pumping action! :) the extra calories may come in handy later on in the week. Bank em, or just let em slide. Maybe add a little extra avo or cheese to your meal. But your body does want to get the heart racing!

I used to work at a food co-op and we had this awesome nut grinder where we would make fresh PB and almond butter as well...i used to love eating bits of the excess that ppl would leave behind :P natural is the way to go!

They add fiber & protein. Also i happen to like the texture when they get all gelatinous :)

You should ask a doctor this is not a question for internet strangers

You do know you can add things to the database yourself right? If its in the database wrong why do you care? Just dont use it. Create a new food item, log it, and move on.

Yeah they have plenty of calories

When i worked retail & was at uni i was set at lightly active. This also meant i made a point of walking a couple miles if i knew i didnt have class or wasnt working. Just a walk around the neighborhood or walking to a few stores, etc. I lost weight pretty consistently. (That was from a different mfp account--ive restarted…

I made the decision to stop drinking two days ago. Weekend came and went. No booze!

I'm definitely aiming for a shorter goal of a month first. I *hope* it encourages me to stay sober. Because yes, going out drinking is fun but ive always admired those who go out and dont drink and have a blast. Maybe if i actually give it a go it'll happen for me :)

:) this is encouraging! Congrats on the 31 years quite an accomplishment and lifestyle change

I do not do well with hard liquor...im the girl who ends up crying in the bathroom or making innapropriate sexual advances lol. I think because they're so quick to drink (as opposed to beer at least for me) i dont have time to catch up to how buzzed im actually getting and end up too drunk.

I would consider using a scale if you arent already using one. As long as you're getting more calories out than youre putting in all should be well in terms of loss. How long have you been on this plan? It may take a while for the scale to move

Not trying to be mean, but there is NO WAY you are 28% body fat...
