I’ve been an esthetician for 17 years. Exercise and sweating are awesome for skin health, but you have to control the bacteria post-workout. Immediately washing your face with a gentle cleanser is best. But this is not always realistic on a daily basis, especially if you are in the middle of a busy day. One of my favorite…

It will definitely work, but like everyone else has said, I encourage a slow approach! I was on here years ago as well, and lost like 40 pounds in a few months. But guess what, it was not sustainable and all came back. Over the last year, I very slowly lost 19 pounds in a sustainable way and have settled into healthier…

Great produce. I also love the freeze dried bananas and strawberries. Excellent low cal snack. The small dark chocolate bars are also great and 6 blocks is just about 110 calories.

Yes!! I’ve just discovered pickled okra and pickled red peppers this year!!

This sounds ridiculously simple, but my husband and I will pick a good rice and add avocado and salsa. We’ve been eating it for lunch every day for weeks. So good!

Peppermint. I drink it every single night!

Beautiful! Congratulations!

Artichokes are my current obsession! 🤗

I’ve been trying to sneak in fruits and vegetables as much as possible into my usual routine. They are normally lower calorie and very filling, so it makes it easier to eat smaller portions of other foods and skip out on unhealthy choices (like the constant donuts and cookies at our office). I especially love avocado and…

That’s an amazing start when you can cut out all those empty calories and sugar! Great choice for your health! It might be hard at first but it will certainly pay off.

It’s so hard when events around you get you down. But you have to refocus. Picture your goals, or a vacation in the distance. Look forward and put the past behind you. I hope today is much better for you!

Great plan and goal. Happy for you! ☺️

I’ve been using the Plexus milk chocolate protein powder. It uses stevia. I add cocoa to give it more of a dark chocolate taste. It’s good.

That looks amazing! I love a good salad!

I actually do have experience with this. I was diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance at 18. Learning about the effects of sugar and carbs in my body changed my life. Sugary drinks was a constant for me while I was a teenager, and I had a major sweet tooth. I quit sodas and sweet tea, went low sugar and low carb (I…

Feel free to add me! I’m around 1200, but will eat up to 1400 with exercise calories!

Thank you so much for this thread! I was looking at my belly this morning and thinking, what is this going to look like when I’ve lost all the weight? I’m currently trying to lose my baby weight from baby #3. I carried that precious girl all in my belly, and I know it will never be the same. But I feel like I’m normal…

Dried goldenberries do not have added sugar, they are more tart than sweet. I love them!! They are my new go to snack.

2 thoughts) 1) If you are looking to cut calories in your overall day, maybe if you put whole milk, or coconut oil, or something with more fat and calories in your coffee, then you would not need to eat a snack at this time during the day, because you would get that good fat from the coffee. 2) If you do like to eat with…

Pilates is low impact but great for fibromyalgia, maybe for your autoimmune issues as well?

One of my new favorite snacks is dried goldenberries. They are sort of like figs, but very tart, and I eat just less than 1/4 cup a day. They help tremendously in this department! Just don’t eat too many!

I love unsweetened vanilla almond milk in my smoothies. Low cal and good taste.

Hi everyone! I hope I’m not crashing and can join in! I just started 5:2 last Friday. Fasting again today. (500 calories) My goals are not so much weight loss- more of maintaining my recent weight loss and mental clarity/ energy. I’ve shockingly enjoyed the fasting, and felt good, but felt bad on the days after. I read…

Not exactly a “snack”, but it makes me feel like I’m snacking! Vitamin water zero, sweetened with stevia, zero calories and satisfies my sweet tooth! I love all these recipes!
