It is true that carbonated drinks can stretch your stomach that is one reason why people who have weight loss surgery are advised not to drink carbonated drinks.

Congratulations!

I'm on a diet where I only eat meat one meal per week. Rest of the time is veggies and fruit and occasionally shrimp or eggs... Not sure what your diet restrictions are but you are welcome to friend me, my diary is open.

That seems like a lot of calories for someone who is 5'1" you might need to do some research to understand how many calories you really need

Journaling might help you understand your feelings and where they come from

I like to eat veggie burgers they help with the cravings, but if you really want a beef burger you can sub half the beef with cooked lentils or some other legume. You might not save on calories but you will save on fat and get an extra serving of vegetables

Sandwiches can be healthy and low calorie. Making pasta dishes with veggies as the noodles is easy if you have a spiralizer, $10 at Walmart or Walgreens in the as seen on TV section

Way to go! Keep it up!

Also we cut way back on meat and that saved us quite a bit. When you only eat 4 oz of chicken each, a bag of frozen chicken breasts lasts quite a while!

My husband and I have less than $100 biweekly for groceries and one thing I've learned is to make large meals that last several days. For example soups or lasagnas. You just new to pick a low sodium low carb gluten free meal, and make enough to last all week. Portion it out ahead of time so you won't eat tomorrow's lunch…

At my job a few people said something but I think it was because I made it well known that I was trying, but most did not mention it. They are all skinny so to them my weight loss might not seem as exciting. Only my two heavier coworkers, who are closer to my weight, said something...

I started out using this 7 day meal plan (adjusted to my tastes) this helped jump start my weight loss and once it started coming off I was really motivated! http://bitchindietitian.com/skinny-dish-7-day-detox/

I suggest you go on YouTube to watch some videos on the subject. Often these things are easier to understand visually

Your body may not be ready to handle exercise right now, but much of weight loss is diet. Obviously your doctor knows your whole health picture so you can certainly ask them if it would be safe for you to cut back on calories which would help you lose weight.

I snack all day long, just make them healthy! Nuts, fruits, veggies, yoghurt, and wheat thins!

I also lost 20 lbs in two months, 15 in January and 5 in February. In January I did a low calorie vegetarian diet and in February just a regular low calorie diet. Also looking to lose 20 more by my birthday in July! Anyone can friend me!

The only dannon product I've tried so far is the protein smoothie...

I eat rice a few times a week, but I don't make it a large part of my meals. For example when I make fried rice at home my recipe if 50% rice 50% vegetables. If you are adding meat you can go even lower, like 30% rice 20% meat 50% vegetables. Also I know healthy eating can seem expensive, but you can save a lot of money by…

I also just started trying the new stuff chobani and Yoplait have been coming out with. I really don't care for yoghurt so I have not tried them before. So far I had the banana honey oat chobani they flavor was good but I didn't like the oatmeal in it, too chewy, and the dannon light & fit strawberry protein smoothie. I…

slow down

Way to go keep up the hard work!

I just focus on eating under my regular calorie allowance I don't eat back my burned calories, the higher the green number at the end of the day the better, just means a larger deficit!

I still haven't figured out how to add friends, but feel free to add me smit7633@chawk.cecil.edu

If you are happy where you're at cut back on the squats some to maintain the look you currently have

Do you remember how good you felt last year when you lost that weight? You should hold on to that feeling not the negative feeling about what you've gained back. Positive thinking can be the best motivation.

Yessss!!

Some people go with people who are insecure about their looks or someone they think they look better than, because one it makes them feel superior and two they feel like the person wouldn't dare leave them because they are so much more fit or better looking. I say if your relationship is healthy, then just use his love for…

I can't figure out how to ads friends on that darn app. You can add me if you want, I've also been looking for friends to challenge! smit7633@chawk.cecil.edu
