Thanks so much everyone!! I have so much to try!! Been buying up spices and sauces left and right-yummmmm!!

Yummmm-thank you!! I just had a new sauce delivered today that I plan to try this weekend or Monday and now I have a few I want to make-I’ll let you know how I like it once I’ve made it!

Zoodles!!!

I made zoodles yesterday!!! They are hard to see in the photo since my food is all mixed up but it’s 2 cups of zoodles, some organic tofu, rotisserie chicken breast, scrambled egg whites, minced garlic, green onion, peanut sauce and some sriracha on top and a few little tomatoes-it’s SO good and I had it with a glass of…

When I’m eating too few calories for awhile my body holds onto my weight like crazy, as long as I keep above 1000 calories per day I don’t have a problem typically but sometimes if I notice that my weight isn’t dropping at all within 6-7 days then I eat higher calories than 1200 (usually around 1500) every few days and…

Oh my goodness so much great information!!! I have actually done a lot of this so I am glad to see I am already on the same page haha-I have started to bump my calories twice per week to keep my body out of starvation mode and I do 2 cheat days per month where I don’t really worry about my calorie intake too much on those…

Omg I am so excited to try this!!! Thank you for the recipe, I just ordered some vegan “chicken” nuggets that are supposed to be delicious (I’m not vegan but I like to try all kinds of new foods-plus they are lower calorie) so I’ll make this sauce to dip them into-can’t wait!

Thank you!! I will give this a try-I appreciate the tip!!

Oh YUMMM!!! Thank you-going to try all of this!!

Thank you!!! I’m going to be tasting all of these and I have tried a lot of these but forgot about them and need to add them to my current collection-I’m actually going to an aioli tasting soon at a local boutique haha!! Going to grab some of that and try out new brands of sauces as well and try making some homemade. I…

For me it is vanity, I just want to be small again and I am ok with that.

You look absolutely amazing-thank you so much, I have been slowly adding more and more protein-maybe that is why I don’t feel as hungry-granted I eat a LOT of low calorie veggies compared to most I think but the hunger is not as significant now-will continue to see if this works. Thank you for sharing!!!

Your stomach doesn't shrink unless you have surgery.[/quote] I had no idea, I wonder why I don’t feel as hungry as often now as I did in the beginning-guess I’ll just thank my lucky stars

I have never heard of this!! I’ll definitely have to look it up and see if it helps at those days I need to feel more full, luckily my body has adjusted some since I started and while I am still hungry constantly it isn’t quite as severe-fingers crossed my stomach is slowly shrinking on the inside so I won’t need the mass…

Ugh I love you for this, THANK YOU!!! 😍😍😍 I cannot wait to make these 😁😁😁

I am not aiming to lose more than 2lbs per week but sometimes it comes off quickly in the beginning, I am assuming it is still water weight coming off... it will slow down I am sure within a couple weeks but after I am used to eating lower calories for 8+ months or so I do usually maintain at around 1500 calories per day,…

I guess that’s what it was for me before, if I stayed at 1500 calories every day I wouldn’t lose or gain weight really but that was a couple years back... I am only 1 month into this for a second time so the weight is coming off quickly but it will slow down after a few months for sure.

*water helps*

Haha I should have edited my original post-I drink more water than most people in a day I would think. Actual cups I am probably drinking right around 10-12 cups per day-I think I am just in the midst of shrinking my stomach so I’m trying to come down from being a high volume eater to a moderate eater... eater helps but I…

Since I stick to between 1000-1200 calories per day in food intake (if I don’t work out, which I am recovering from a broken ankle so not working out atm) for at least 5 days per week and eat under 1700 calories the other 2 days per week I usually lose at least 1.5-2lbs per week or so. It varies as my calorie intake varies…

This sounds great!!! I have been making chicken soup lately but never checked the calorie count but now I’m going to see about making veggie soups and see what I can come up with-thank you!!

I am loving all the responses-you are all helping me more than you know and I thank you!!!!!!

That sounds delicious!!! I’m actually going to try this and see how my body feels-thank you!

I am a 5’ 28 year old woman, my doctor said 1000-1200 calories per day is actually good for me while I am losing weight, to maintain though I usually stick to around 14-1500 or so but right now I am losing-I don’t stick to 1200 every single day, I definitely go above it somedays but at least 5 days a week I need to eat…

Love this! I need to add friends, would make MFP so much more fun and motivating-feel free to add me!

Thank you so much!

I am looking to lose 80-100lbs total so I would love to have friends who also want to do the same and can be positive and fun!! Feel free to add me 💖

I am here with you, food is always on my mind-i love it and I am totally addicted to everything about it. I am now on my second round of losing weight when I previously lost over 50lbs and then put it back on and 2 weeks ago I had had enough and started to be more careful and now am obsessing in the other “healthy”…

I’d love to join in, losing 100lbs would be awesome!!! I will weigh myself first thing in the morning but I am guessing right around 230lbs starting so if I can get to 180 by Christmas I will be well on my way 😍

I want to be hotter than all my friends... all my friends are absolutely lovely-I just want to have a little something extra 💖
