please add me! i'm at 1290, but i eat less on certain days and more on others, depending on what's happening that week. i put specific goals for each day (today for ex: 1,000 cal; but Wed is going to be 1,430... Tues & Thurs at 1,100... Sunday is going to be at 1,700... and so on). I adjust according to events / social…

yogurt, protein powders, cereal bars... egg whites...

@kcongel90 you remind me of Alicia Vikander

do you eat enough fats and protein? there are just days when we are hungrier than others... if you are that hungry, just eat. but trying sticking to low-calorie snacks. don't let it turn into a binge. i think the problem is the binge-eating -- not the hunger. tackle the bingeing first, then be honest about how hungry you…

i swear by beautifuel: http://foodcoachnyc.com/beautifuel/ tastes good, too

Stressing just makes it worse. Forgive yourself: you are human. Move on and do better next time. Remember not to be too hard on yourself...

Deprivation will do that... Or low carb diets (for me, personally!) Can you eat in moderation? A little bit every day...

How about a poached egg with 1/4 avocado on a not-too-high calorie bread? Or yogurt with half a protein bar... Those are usually filling snacks. Nuts tend to fill me up quite a bit... Peanut butter and apple... Just some snack ideas for you :)

Eggs, avocado, smoked salmon... OR yogurt and berries... OR english muffin with peanut butter. When on the go, a protein bar at about 170-200 cal.

I am at 132 now and wanting to get down to 114-115. My normal, usual weight is typically around 126-128. I gained weight in the last year. Happy to be anyone's Fit / Healthy lifestyle Buddy during our journeys <3

i work out twice a week with a trainer for an hour. on top of that, i try and do a 30-40 min run once or twice a week. sometimes i'll do a spin class instead of running. i used to work out more than that, but it felt a little 'forced'. i am tired of forcing myself every time. i find this pace sustainable, whereas 4-6x a…

hi! if you enjoy your food in volumes, try snacking on better things... that way you take in less calories. but really the goal is to determine where the binge-eating is coming from. what's lacking, what are you truly feeling? are you simply tired? take a nap. are you bored? maybe you need a mental break. people have had…

thanks everyone! I used to see a nutritionist who convinced me the only way to lose weight was by eating a plant based diet with a little protein, no grains (not even quinoa), no oatmeal (I had to make chia puddings instead in the morning) with 2 cheat meals (not days!) a week for sanity. Snacks were to be made up of…

I agree in theory... I also know that exercise alone, when done vigorously enough (I'm playing devil's advocate here!), 10-12 hours a week, can bring in immense changes in the body. Imagine if we did what actors/actresses do... Work out with a trainer 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in the evening (with increased intensity…

fruit also contains a lot of fiber... so it's not the same on our metabolism as having the equivalent in sugar from fake sweets.

you could always lower the carbs a bit and increase the protein and fats. i also heard (from Layne Norton, PhD, google him, THE man) that Fiber should really *almost* be a Macro that we count the way we count our fats/carbs/protein because it is so important, esp. for people who are trying to lose weight.

a giant nutella crepe!!!!!!!!!

when at work, i sometimes go to a diner near my office. i get a baked potato (plain, no butter), 2 poached eggs and 1/4 avocado. it's super filling and very easy to count accurately and punch into MFP. when it's more of a festive outing, like friday/saturday dinner with friends, I tend to make that more of a "free meal"...…
