carrots!

ahah italian here! actually I wonder what is the thing about asking a woman's phone number, it never happened to me that a stranger asked for my number! With all the (few) guys I have dated the real important step was them adding me on facebook and start chatting there, then they asked for the number in the chat :) this is…

- walking and yoga - for some reason I like the plank even though I suffer while doing it, same for running - I want to improve and start strenght training in an indefinite future but for now I only do bodyweight exercises - skiing is my favorite sport ever but I don't really consider it as exercise. I love it but haven't…

I have a friend that suffers from something similar (she has migraines with aura) and she sees a specialist for that, are you doing so? I suggest that you check with your doctor or with a specialist what triggers your episodes, so that you can find a way to avoid them if possible! Also you can try to isolate what you have…

I am approximately the same height (maybe 170 cm) and i'm 24, I was at my lowest weight at 17 yo, 54 kgs (119 lbs), looking at pictures from then I'd describe as thin. so it was "ideal" for my appearance. But i had no muscle at all, also I remember having frequent headaches and low energy levels so I wouldn't say that I…

I usually have a 300 calories breakfast and try to have about 10/15 grams of protein in it. I alternate pancakes and oatmeal+egg whites, in both cases topped with fruit. today I only had 200 calories but I got hungry like 2 hours later, I suggest that you find something that works for keeping you full for a reasonable…

I suggest that you gradually switch to cooking more, also with some help and collaboration from your family if possible. I don't know how your family is organized but I feel that feeding a family everyday is a huge workload and it's fair to divide it a little! Making simple meals from scratch can also help you save some…

It is so nice and heartwarming to hear your story, it almost makes me cry <3 Congratulations on your weightloss and on the fact that you no longer depend on your (soon ex!) husband, and best wishes for your new life! Your strenght will be the greatest example and blessing for your children :)

As a person from a very disfunctional family, here is my advice. 1) you come first, so if the relationship with these people is hurting you, affecting your balance and your mental health, do whatever is necessary to protect yourself, including taking some distance. It may mean to cut them off completely or to change the…

Make ahead apple oats: I blend one apple with water and milk/soy milk. then I use the water/apple to cook 3 portions of oatmeal, so it will be sweetened by the apple. i also add cinnamon. you can double the portions to have enough breakfasts for the whole week! in the morning, I microwave the porridge and eat :) sometimes…

I understand what you mean as I have experienced it both ways. When I was 17, I lost a few kgs over a year and hit my lowest weight as an "adult" at 54 kg: I still saw myself kind of chubby just because my belly wasn't toned as my friends'. I now know that my BMI 18,7! Last september, at 24, I hit my highest weigh of 71…

mid morning I usually have raw carrots and raw fennel, that give me something to munch on and increase my fiber intake. In the afternoon I often have plain low fat yogurt (greek or regular) with a little spoon of jam, or a yogurt+banana/other fruit smoothie, so I get some protein :)

As many said, I suggest that you stop gradually. if you currently drink 5 glasses per day, for a week drink 4 and substitute one with water/tea/herbal tea/whathever you prefer. the following week have 3 glasses per day and so on... best of luck!

great dress! I really love the color and the style, I actually have a similar one ;) I have 2 very cute (not to mention expensive) silk camisoles that I bought when I weighted approximately 60 kg... One year ago I resigned myself to the fact that they didn't look good on me and I closed them in a box with "60 kg" written…

In 2017 I will work on losing at least 5 kg, as I currently weight around 68 kg and my goal would be around 60 (baby steps work best for me). Also, I aim to run 5K without making walking breaks :) let's do this!

I am already having a "mantainance" December actually, because of stressful situations with my family, so I eat "diet style" for all the meals that I can control and plan by myself. Starting from tomorrow I'll have almost a big meal per day (my BF's graduation, my friend's birthday dinner, christmas eve and christmas day)…

thanks everyone for the useful suggestions!

I agree with all of the above, I am sorry if I gave the impression of restricting anything. The fact is, I don't really get satisfaction from bread or other extras I am referring to, I just eat it because it's in front of me and I'm not full/satisfied. When I eat correctly, I do eat a proper amount of whole grain bread…

I think that you shouldn't feel guilty about not buying sugary treats anymore because those should be consumed with moderation even if one's underweight. Also it is not clear to me if he acknowledges the problem and he's trying to gain weight: I believe this is key to really fix the problem. Anyway, as I look at what my…

Love this! the picture made me genuinely smile at my laptop <3

Are you stressed? I feel that stress makes my body "hold on" to weight sometimes. maybe you should take some time to unwind every day, sleep a little more if needed, or do what works for you... best of luck!

Hi! 24 years old/67kg here and looking to lose about 1 kg per month until I'm comfortable with my weight I want to reach at least 60 kg even though I was 54 at my lowest weight ever (I was 17 at the time)

It's ok to eat at any time, given that you are eating at a deficit. Only you should decide the eating pattern that is most suitable for you: if you find it convenient to do intermittent fasting and stop eating at 6, that's ok. It can be helpful in order to limit your caloric intake (I actually did as a teenager without…

To look good and feel good. I mostly want to look good because I want to feel empowered when walking past a mirror, to be attractive for other people is just a consequence. 3 kgs gone, at least 8 to go!

Have you had any tummy issues in these 10 days? have you reduced sodium, maybe without noticing?

I am Italian and live in Italy, so I know basically every pasta recipe. an easy one that I recommend because has some protein is pasta with tuna and tomato sauce. 1) take a piece of garlic and let it become golden with a bit of olive oil. (you can also add a bit of water to the oil if you want to use little as I do. it's…

Thank you for all the encouragement! I actually ran 25 minutes consecutively yesterday, it was hard at the end but worth it ;) Still far from 5 km but I plan to reach that goal in 2017! On the negative side, I had a goal of 80 km walking+running for November but I believe i will only reach 50 km, I had to stop going to the…

I sometimes cook quinoa or rice in a soup. I cook a bean soup or lentil soup, like this: I start with a little olive oil (1 or 2 teaspoons) and I put a small piece of garlic in it. when the garlic is golden (not brown!) I add about 50/100 grams of raw tomato sauce. after a few minutes when the tomato sauce starts to cook I…

I have, for like 2 days, but I quit because I had no energy, felt hungry all the time, found no joy in eating (since I was just eating meat, fish and eggs...). I have friends who followed it for some time and got quick result. I guess it works for someone that doesn't love eating like me but just eats to stay alive, and is…

uhm, how about we stop implying that a girl should accept a stranger's insult because "he has a crush on you"? and for OP: don't let this affect you, continue your journey and keep rocking! :smile:
