For many days you exceeded your sodium (suggestion) limits. That alone will cause you to hold on to water. It might be better to lower your sodium rather than taking a diuretic (a natural one would be coffee - black). I would try it for just a week, lower sodium. I know we are suppose to be able to eat anything we want as…

That I can eat anything I want just not huge portions... and that seconds, thirds are not always in my best interests. Water. Water. Water. If I stumble along the way, just log it, and move onto the next day. That what works for another may not work for me. I am unique and I embrace that knowledge everyday.…

bump....going to 1,200 calories budget and need all the low cal ideas I can get (besides eating nothing veggies). Riced cauliflower seems as a great option instead of rice with my beans, and grilled meats.

ROFLMAO.....

There is only 11 calories for one egg white, bonus is the protein and satiety one gets from it to last thru to next meal without gnawing off your finger. If you are on a 1,200 calorie budget, that extra 40 is significant. I like both and eat both as it fits into my daily menu and any exercise calories I might get that day.

Love this. Acknowledging the mis-steps, and getting back on track....at an early age this habit is like gold. Keep going...proud of you..

Eat before you go out. Then while at the restaurant eat salads, appetizers, soups, or even a little bit of the higher caloric food, just smaller portion. What you can't finish take home.

Feel free to add me. This is my 3rd time here on MFP. Something clicked 30 days ago. I know the holidays are coming, and I want to look great in the holiday pictures. I usually avoid looking in the mirror, thus avoiding seeing how large I had become. While siting in my hairstylist's chair she turned it around and I…

You look amazing! Your stats are similar to mine except the CW one, LOL. I have 70 lbs to go. I'm also 5'.9 and 1/2. How long did it take you? I imagine your calorie intake was set at 1,400 as is mine. Would love to have you as a friend...o stay encouraged.

We can only suggest what works for us as individual. What works for me may not work for you or OP...she can choose which of our suggestions will work best for her.

Show me the person who has lost and not gain some or not all back, at least once in their life. Fifteen years ago I lost 45 on WW....day after I reached maintenance I stuffed my face with something I had denied myself eating during the losing period. I've gained twice as back since that day. For me, I know it's probably…

Fasting means no calories.. so I drink coffee black in the morning (4 calories for 4 cups). It took some getting used to about 10 days but taste buds acquired taste for the dark brew. I do at 16:8 fast. I have lost 6+ lbs since I returned to MFP 25 days ago. I have lost more inches than the lost poundage would indicate.…

Better health. More energy. Wear stylish clothes. Making my frenemies and ex jealous. Future dating with confidence.

It just helps if the items in your calorie range are filling. Sugary processed foods high in calories, low in fiber will satisfy taste but will quickly lead you to crash and make you very hungry. Just make sensible choices within your calorie range. Eggs and high fibre toast is a tasty filling choice. Add veggies and…

Doctors specialize. Like many professions. This means outside of their verified knowledge in their specific field they fall back on their long held views on things. I respect their medical opinions but unless they can back it up with sound scientific evidence, well, gonna consider your "opinions" with a grain of salt.…

This is so inspiring! Like someone else said, the eyes pop. Kind of amazing everyone is. The hard work has paid off and it shows. Knowing that it took some of you over year, or that you stopped, then got back is further inspiration. Nothing like the human story, not fantasy, that helps us all put feet to our dreams. Well…

Haven't read all the Haven't read all the comments here, but I like this one....Have you heard the saying you can't exercise away a bad diet? Learning portion control is key. It's like budgeting. If you only have $20 a week to spend, you are going to find a way to make it stretch. Calories are the same. Also, your palate…

Organization for many of us is a learned habit; for others part of their wiring. To me, as long as you don't have vermin hoovering about, you are good. I do think though that messiness in one area of your life (your purse for example) likely means you are messy in other areas (house, car, bills, physical maintenance…

I eat within a an 8-hour window, 11:00 to 7:00pm. I eat all my calories. When I was a young person through my mid 30s that is how I ate, mostly cause I did not like most breakfast foods. I stayed thin (5'9", 135 lbs, size 5) right before I became pregnant. Of course I had to eat more while pregnant. I've decided that if it…

Calories is like money. Counting calories is not bad just like counting money is not bad. Just need an awareness. You have to manage it so that you know where you are and where you want to get to. When I look at ingredients and their caloric count, I ask myself do I want to spend my calories on this or save it for…

Being 90 lbs overweight myself, and wanting to look good in three months myself as it will be Christmas, I would want to lose that much too. You said you wanted a lifestyle change. To accomplish the goal you have set out for yourself, doing that for the rest of your life, is that really what you want, to basically starve?…

I'm not as far along as you are (and you are doing great!)....but what I am doing is limiting the window of time that I eat my calories. I don't eat anything after 8 or 9pm in the evening, and nothing for the next 12 hours or so (most of that is sleeping and getting ready for work. I drink black coffee though. ) I take…

You look very sexy!! The hard work was so worth it. Sometimes we need that kick in the butt when we lose something we love to give us a wake up call. Your ex did you a favor. Always love them for that.

Some great ideas here!

Amazing. You must feel on top of the world!
