  • Hey!! Started yesterday, still on here :)
  • Yes! I'm starting it with 2 of my friends on Monday!! One of them is gluten, soy and dairy free due to illness so it'll be great!! Feel free to add me /)
  • My go to is so boring but works! Salmon, cod or shrimp, with frozen veggies or mixed salad. Sometimes I'll throw a half cup of quinoa in there for fun. I swear I'm fun at parties
  • Really close to being in the 140's!! Closer and closer to my goal weight!! My mini goal is the next 4 lbs
  • I'm not vegan, trying to become more Paleo according to my health, but I still have gluten free oats(basically all oats lol) and I have quinoa/Ezekial bread. I just am interested in plant based meals and diets and wanted to follow people who are practicing those kinda lifestyles. I know those diets (Paleo and vegan) are…
  • I love caffiene pills honestly. I get mine off amazon for under 10 bucks and they have thousands of 5 star reviews. I've never had any issue with them and they work great. You can ALSO buy super high caffiene teas online(Amazon.. I'm a junkie) that are 150mg or more. Just make them like a regular tea. Yum!
  • Love me some oatmeal. Made with water but sometimes I'll add almond milk. I love to add PB2 or protein powder, and all kinds of berries. I just added egg whites today, pretty sneaky way to add some protein :) I try and keep any toppings as low carb as I can due to the oats, so berries, egg whites and protein powders are…
  • I suffer from binge eating/emotional eating and for me, if I even start on one oreo.. I'll finish literally the whole container, then a pint of ice cream, then half a pizza, ect. I literally have eaten 8,000 calories before in a binge. So because I have that disordered eating (I'm way better then I was, but I'm still…
  • I cut out dairy a month ago and I feel great!! I feel way less tired and baloated. I just feel less foggy and my skin is amazing. I don't think it's necessary (everytime anyone posts ANYTHING about cutting out somthing in your diet or trying a diet technique, lots of people from MFP Will immediately just full on roast that…
  • Go to breakfast is one piece of Ezekial bread with 1/3 of an avacado. Then 3 large egg whites. today I made a green smoothie with lots of spinach and greens, mangos, an apple, flax and spirulina powder. Then im having 2 whole eggs with 3 egg whites!! Power breakfast.
  • Honestly it's protein!! I didn't realize how much of it I got from dairy products. I also continue to go over in carbs as well so that's why i was thinking of cutting out grains because my carbs are way too much for PCOS. My carb level is around 80g for a 1300 diet so I'm trying to find what to replace dairy with.. Working…
  • I know it sucks! I like a lot of the community on here but it's always scary posting because there's always a couple of people like to tell you you're wrong or stupid which is sad because we should be all in this health journey together!! I'm hoping down the line everyone on MFP will respect vegan, Paleo, whole30, all…
  • Thanks so much!! That's what I was looking for!
  • I actually was told by my doctor to try out a Paleo diet because of PCOS! So that's why I'm just learning about different ways of eating. I'm not trying to become vegan I just enjoy vegan recipes because they have a lot of veggies, nor do I claim to call myself vegan at all! But I get what you're saying! Just altering my…
  • Dang this is why I'm always scared to post.. People get so much backlash for being uneducated in certain topics. Sorry guys I'm still learning. I don't consider myself vegan at all, I just enjoy vegan meals because of the plant/veggie/fruit focus. I'm not completely Paleo, just all dairy but I try and avoid gluten when I…
  • There's some stuff that helps me stay on track- maybe it'll help you! 1. Leave fitness/goal pictures up or laying around so you can be reminded of your goal. I keep them in the kitchen and by the couch so I can be reminded. 2. NEVER EVER EVER have foods you like to binge on or junk food in the house. I can't stress this…
  • I always eat breakfast! But I'm also always hungry in the morning too. But I also find eating gives me energy for the day and my mood is 20x better if I eat breakfast.
  • Hey! I'm around 5'4.5" and I see everyone around my height always saying like 110-115 but that would be crazy for me!! I'm 155 (SW was 170) and my final goal weight would probably be like 130/135 and size 4-6. At my CW of 155 I'm a size 8/10 in pants and size small up top, I'm built kinda curvy though so that is a factor.…
  • All time fav breakfast- One piece of Ezekiel Bread (no sugar and ONLY grains!) with 1/4-1/3 of an avacado, smashed. Then an omelet with one whole egg, and three large egg whites. Bomb!
  • I'm 5'4.5", 155 lbs, and size 8/9 in pants (I have a big butt and hips) and usually a size small in shirts (smaller shoulders and bust and waist).
  • I weigh everyday BECAUSE that's how I hold myself accountable for any "cheat days". I have to know the numbers to stay motivated and on track. Right now I'm just focused on general weight loss, and I have a total obsession with not only nutrition but with data & recording numbers (nerd), so I look forward to weighing…
  • My goal is 1200 and I'm VERY high protein (im cutting and also hate working out at the moment which is why it can be so low.. lol!) so I pretty much always meet it or am around 1150 :) today I got to 1289 and found myself feeling guilty which I stopped right away! There's no point in wallowing about that at all- I have to…
  • Man people really DO hate Quest bars huh?! Lol I am a Quest fan true and true!! I love the texture and taste of almost all the flavors. They taste like almost a dessert to me and curb my hunger everytime! Dare I say they are a staple in my diet..
  • I choose to eat a very high protein diet so I'm always trying to get as much as possible! These are some high protein meals I have. Breakfast- some things I like to do is a liquid egg whites and one whole egg omelet, Greek yogurt with hempseed+flax+chia which all have a little protein too (usually around 30g protein…
  • Hey girl!! I'm 5'4 and 155 right now (10 lbs down) but I'm goal is twenty more pounds so I'm with you!
  • I'm 5'4! Started at 168 and am down about 15 lbs. I'm pretty curvy and have hips so I've literally always been 140-150 all through highschool and everything. My next goal is to get in the 140's, my final goal weight is probably 130 I think. I'm built with a curvier frame so 130 I think would be great. You have to put your…
  • For me, it's been tracking my calories with a food log because that's when I realized how many calories I was actually consuming (way too many!). So good old fashioned cutting calories. But I'm a huge food lover.. HUGE!! And I am not a fan of working out. So I eat a TON of protein-high foods to keep me full, and make them…
  • I'm 20!! I totally agree.. Most of my friends totally are the ones who get me to get off track with their eating.. Lol. I've lost about 9/10 lbs so far and ultimately want to lose 20 more or so. Feel free to add me! :)
  • Try Total Cereal!! 100 cals for 3/4 cup, and it has a great texture and lightly sweet and nutty. I really like it. It also has a TON of vitamins and minerals and all that so that's my go-to.
  • Hey girl! I'm a total Starbucks lover so my favs are: Cold brew with soy (or black if you can do it!) is only 30 cals (Grande) with 2g of protein and 200mg caffeine. Regular Cold brew is only 5 cals as a Grande! Another fun one is a Starbucks Double Shot with soy, I always get it iced, and that's only 35 cals with 2g of…
