Shirataki noodles win. And this is coming from someone who's pretty open to various "health foods" as a vegetarian (and ex vegan of 3 years). Also, any cheese substitute, except Teese.

First I'll state that I've never been a morning person. I now work 2 jobs (about 50-55hrs a week) and the schedule is all messed up because my FT job is 4pm-midnight and other PT job starts early at 10am sometimes. Anyways, it's about two things 1) motivation and 2) making it fit with your personality. I do need 9-10hrs of…

Since I joined 1.5 weeks ago, I've logged daily. I am losing 25lbs total and building muscle. I also try to be as interactive as I can be with comments! Add me if you're interested.

I like roasted seaweed (low cal, satisfies savory tooth, but doesn't fill you up) and nuts (hazelnuts and almonds especially - but very high cal, gotta be careful on portion).

I'm active on my feed and with my food/exercise diary. Losing 20lbs and gaining muscle! Add me if you have similar goals!

I've been working out (gym, walking in the park, swimming, weight training, a bit of yoga, and now home fitness) for more than a year, however my eating habits still stayed unhealthy. Last couple of weeks I started logging and lost 4lbs. Feel free to add!

These were all great! I've had some friends tell me that "I need to do abs" to lose belly fat.

It's a habit and just needs to be broken. It will be uncomfortable, but possible. Likely you need to pay attention to your thoughts and feelings and learn how to tolerate hunger and cravings. Both do go away and don't last for very long.

Hi! I'm 144lb and want to get to 120lb as well. Add me if you want to inspire each other :smiley:

City here!

I'm 144 now, want to get to 120. Add me :)

Mine don't stick either and I've tried the "test"/one word entry, too, which didn't work ;(

I've lost 4lbs with 2 weeks of logging food, eating whole foods, and fitting in fitness (although have been going to the gym for the past year). I got about 20lb more! I'm 27yo, 5'7, 144lb now. Add me if you want!

Wow, I can see the difference of just 3 weeks! Good luck with staying on the right path.

@Chandra126 You sold me on the food scale, I'm looking for some right now online. The other day I bought a small measuring cup and found that it helped me with measuring my yogurt so far (and training my eye to learn better portion sizes - I have always eaten large dinners). Thank you for your honest suggestion :) And…

Spaghetti squash with soy chorizo, peas, tomatoes, onions, garlic. And on the right is fried green zucchini.

I've lost 1lb since I started logging food continuously 5 days ago :smile: I have been on a more mindful diet consisting of non-starchy veggies for about 2 weeks.

Ew, why are some people being so nasty? I gather this is a forum for supporting one another. @macedinthedick As someone who is a therapist and a life-long depression sufferer, best thing I can recommend is to seek out therapy (You can do it through your insurance if you have it, or websites like helppro, psychologytoday,…

I am truly inspired! Thank you for posting these. You look great, but more to that - you say that you FEEL much better, and looks like you're in it for the long run :)

@Verity1111 I know right! It is because I was pretty skinny (could see ribs if I would bend down or twist, but this was always me naturally, I ate well and didn't exercise). The issue is that this weight is so concentrated in the middle of my belly - if I face you directly, I still have a natural waist. Thank you,…

This video was very helpful and right on time, thank you! Just yesterday I did 30min on Elliptical and while logging my dinner, I noticed that my overall calories for the day were 1500 (as opposed to 1200). I thought that I made a mistake somewhere :blush:

Omg, totally what happens with me - I also often get people saying "You don't need to lose" when I'm clearly wearing a loose shirt.

There is so much judgment in this world sometimes! I love your choice of words "unfortunate body type". Sometimes I think I'm doomed, what if I never lose this shape? My mom and older brother got like this, too. My dad also was skinny, however got a small belly now, BUT he's 59, and I gained this at 26 (anddd mine is…

Hi, guys! :) :) :) I'm new here and would like to gain (no pun) some twin friends to inspire each other to lose! I was always skinny, but since last year gained a lot (mostly belly). 27yo 5'7 HW: 145lbs CW: 144lbs GW: 120lbs I like: live music, piercings, tattoos, nature, animals, cats, books, reading, psychology, art…

I'm from Moscow, Russia, but I've been living in NYC for half of my life now :)

You're not a failure! Having self-defeating THOUGHTS is why sugar addiction is hard. I'm in the same boat, so I get it! Smoothies can provide natural fruit sugar without crashes, try almond milk (or any milk, although almond I've found has the least calories if unsweetened - a Stop and Shop brand got 40cal/cup) with one…
