Toast+Avocado+Egg :)

hey i am also in a plateau ! my weight has not moved sinced march 10 :( Lets motivate each other !! We can do this !

You can do this ! Just keep an honest diary (log everything) and you will see the pounds will drop ! :)

No ! I love carbs, bread, pasta !! I used to restrict all of these foods that I loved and just ended up eating more of the foods I didn't really like to compensate. Now, thanks to logging, I eat food that I really truly enjoy and lose weight ! It's the best :D

I make energy balls with pitted dates, oats, cacao powder and whatever nuts/seeds i have ! around 60 calories/ball and so delicious ! :) i also like rytivia rye crackers ! :)

5''7, 21 years old and only one kg to my goal weight ! I have an open diary :) Add me !!

YES !! And I am losing at the exact rate my plan is set for !

Thank you all for your ideas ! Very appreciated :)

Don't be afraid of carbs !! Here are some of my favorite recipes: http://www.ricardocuisine.com/recipes/4870-vegetarian-quinoa-curry (to reduce to calories I only add 10 g almonds per serving and reduce the oil to 1 tbsp) http://www.ricardocuisine.com/recipes/5214-lentil-and-red-bell-pepper-soup (i reduce the oil to 1…

Try to shift your attitude regarding a healthy lifestyle from motivation to discipline. Eating healthy, working out, taking care of yourself, reducing your stress levels, etc takes much much more than motivation ! It takes discipline. Once it becomes a true habit it will be much easier. Good luck !!

Hi ! I am a pear as well and found that weight lifting and building muscle in my upper body really helps !! I work out legs once a week and upper body 2-3 times a week. I also do some cardio when I feel like it but mostly concentrate on my diet ! :) You can't spot reduce so working out your legs and building the muscle…

That sounds delicious !! Will be my breakfast tomorrow :)

Oats with 1% milk, 2% plain greek yogourt, frozen berries, 10g almonds and a little honey. Thats my breakfast most days and it really fills me up. :)

Thank you so much StealthHealth !!

It also depends on what you eat with those 1200 calories. Whenever I eat lots of salt and sugar my energy levels are always lower and I feel more tired. I would try to up your calories by 100-200 for one day and eat very nutritious food and limit anything processed, sugary or salty. Also make sure you get a good night's…

Thank you for all your advice everyone ! I upgraded my calories to lose only 0.25 kg a week (half a pound) and will start lifting more weights. I will also follow your advice of eating back 50 % of my exercice calories. Let's see how it goes but I am sure I will feel better and will have more energy !

Thank you shadow2soul!! I will change it to 0.5 lb, anyways I am in no rush and I know this can't work out long-term!

I didn't know that about the 22 kg. Thank you for the info!!

I am 5''8 (174 cm). For one 1lb a week it says 1220 calories a day (no exercice I guess?)...

Cottage cheese, greek yogourt, carrots, celery, rytiva crackers, etc. :)

I've added you ! :)
