I'm only 5'0" but 140 lbs right now. Highest weight 145 and my goal is 110. Feel free to add me :)

if I have ONE dessert, it quickly leads to 2 or 3 or 4 servings, or more. Same with pasta and granola bars and even whole wheat crackers. It's much easier to avoid them. Popcorn is the go-to snack if I absolutely need some carbs, sprinkled with measure for measure Splenda (raised in a diabetic house, deal with it) if I'm…

Serving size is a problem for me... I'll eat the whole package of macaroni, ice cream, chips, or whatever I'm eating. Try eating one serving instead of 2. Also, you can easily replace snacks with fruits, vegetables, or whole grain crackers. Low fat dairy is also helpful. Good luck, and congratulations on starting…

600 cals for dinner!!!???? :noway: My go-to is a bowl of mixed veggies -- usually corn, peas, sliced carrots, and green beans. Add in some beans -- black, kidney, white, garbonzo, etc.. A sprinkle of parmesan does wonders if plain vegetables isn't easy for you. Ta-Da! Mine comes up to 200-300 calories, depending on the…

1) skim milk 2) whole wheat bread 3) shredded cheddar cheese 4) ketchup 5-7) eggs, egg whites, egg beaters -- to go with the cheese & ketchup, duh :laugh:

if made properly, they're much tastier :love:

in my experience, the 2 oz dry is almost always equal to 1 cup cooked, which is around 220 calories :smile:

don't worry about today, tomorrow will be better :)

I take walmart brand one a day women's multivitamins. I'm vegetarian, and I know I don't eat well enough to get all the important vitamins that you're supposed to get. And I figure a little extra iron won't hurt :laugh:

It does nothing at all, except taste good.... unless I chug 3+ Monsters -- and yes, I know that's how people die from caffeine. As long as it's not a habit, I don't care how unhealthy they are :ohwell:

I was at 1200 forever, and recently upped to 1400 -- I know your fear. This week, I went food-crazy and reached 2000 3 days in a row... went back to ~1400, and immediately dropped a pound after being stuck at a plateau. Just give it time, or try a calorie zig-zag

I gained the weight because I was depressed. I was able to eat ice cream, doritos, entire cans of frosting, 2-3 cans soda a day, and everything else. I was unstoppable. My clothes stopped fitting, I freaked out, and gained more weight. And living with an obese grandmother, I grew up thinking it was normal to eat because of…

This is the first time I've had egg beaters... they were on sale yesterday :blushing:

Sorry, it's open now I'm not hungry, so I don't want to eat. I know I should eat more, but I feel so sick if I make myself eat any more.

Good vegetarian protein. They're all full of sodium & processed, but IIFYM :)

and we're all named Sarah? :wink:

what should I do with red beans? I have a pot full of them, but don't know any good recipes

OLD MONTE CARLOS :love:

vegetarian "meats" !!!!! and eggs, lots & lots of eggs :love:

bump. I "can't afford" (which is totally true) a gym membership right now, but the real reason is that I know I'd be too scared to actually use it

I survived August binge-free :D I probably won't post on here, but I'm definitely shooting for another month without binging

I can't stop eating. At all. And my friends have noticed my monthly trips to the vending machine after I've eaten my unusually large lunch/dinner/snacks... I've given up on TOM

Ever since I was little, I've always loved the idea of living in England :love: I read too many books that had British spellings, and that's how I learned to spell. It drove my teachers crazy :laugh: Sometimes I wonder if America's gotten so bad that it would be best if I escaped while I can, and where else to go but my…

I see other people losing weight while eating a ton,, I'm just afraid to gain a bunch of weight. I'm one to gain quickly and lose SOOOOO slowly. I'm concerned that 1000 isn't enough, but it's hard to eat much more, because my food is soooo filling I'm never hungry. I'm currently 18 days binge free. I struggle with midnight…

bump :)

LOL I just wanted somebody to actually read it :laugh: It says I should eat between 1400 and 1700. That's scary. I guess I'll try it for awhile and hope for the best. Thanks :)

I've decided to change from 1200 to 1250 cals... I wish I could get somebody's opinion on EM2WL...

nobody..?

I do have a few ED friends, but they're making an effort to get healthy and lose weight properly, and I support their recoveries

I think I eat around 3-5 eggs a day... they're just so yummy. Depending on whether you eat "clean" or not, vegetarian "meat" products can be really good, I particularly like Gardein brand. Beans & dairy are also good. I've never tried tofu, tempeh, or quinoa, but they're supposed to be good protein sources. And lentil soup…
