Oh, and I’m 39. :)

Hi everyone, I’m 5’3, currently at 160 lbs with another 50 to lose. Right now, that’s mostly through dietary choices, but I’m slowly and carefully incorporating movement. Feel free to add me!

I prefer not to murder in order to eat, but also to eat healthfully, so yes, I eat them in moderation. Everyone eats in accordance with their own values and preferences; these are mine.

You can buy a popper that goes in the microwave (or use a paper bag), throw in some kernels, and add the coconut oil yourself.

Hi, I'm 5'3 and 160 with a dream weight (lol) of 110 1lbs. Food diary is open.

@sharpdust Thanks for the reply. That's actually why I haven't set goals in the past; I prefer to just focus on the downward trend, rather than be disappointed that I haven't hit a specific goal. I do best with positive reinforcement. Maybe I'll focus less on numeric goals and just come here for mutual encouragement,…

Actually, you don't absorb all the calories from nuts, and protein slows the absorption of carbs.

Hey everyone. I've only been at this again for a couple of weeks, and was hoping to sustain a 2 lbs/week weight loss, but I only lost 1.2 lbs this past week. I've been sleeping quite a lot this week and not eating as I normally would. For one thing, my groceries have been running out, so I've been eating odds and ends or…

Well, it's still empty calories. But, it's great that you switched to light beer; you need to make it work for your lifestyle. While daily drinking isn't great for you, that's a big change. Can you have a glass for water and a pitcher on the table as well? Maybe a bowl of nuts. This could help you cut down on the amount of…

First of all, why see a doctor if you aren't going to follow his/her instructions? If she prescribed antibiotics, would you chuck them? Food, alcohol and exercise all change your brain chemistry the same way medication will. So I don't know if that's the issue or if you think having an illness makes you weak, but you have…

Hello all, I'm new here; nice to meet you! Food diary is open.

I've noticed the bean pastas are mushy if you overcook them, but if you don't, they are positively delicious.

White pasta is a simple carb. Not a complex carb. The wheat bran and germ have been stripped away. White (bleached) flour is often enriched with vitamins to make it more nutritious. You, and all the people who liked your comment, are confused.

* Switch your milk to soy--in coffee, cereal, smoothies, and in cooking. It's high in protein. * Try to incorporate beans in your meals and use various seeds as toppings wherever you can. * Eat boiled eggs, string cheese, Kind bars (they have lots of nuts), trail mix, and hummus as snacks. Use Greek yogurt (also high…

Soy mocha cappuccinos, Balanced breaks (cheese, dried berries and granola or quinoa), soft boiled eggs, hummus/Wholly guacamole/almond dip with English cucumber/celery/red bell pepper, Kind nut bars, fruit, date brownies, popcorn/Kettle corn

One isn't better than the other; it's a matter of taste. But whichever you choose, the only ingredients should be nuts or nuts and salt. That's it.

-I would definitely make sure not to skimp on either breakfast or dinner, first of all. Spread your calories throughout the day if you can, but those meals are most important. -Amy's Soups are filling, healthy and delicious imo, as I'm sure you know, and easy. Throw some pepitas on a bowl. Get 8 oz tortillas (either…
