I'm 19, and have 12.4 pounds left to lose. I'm currently eating about 1400 calories a day. Feel free to friend me!

Another vote here for NYDJ. So flattering, and so comfy. 6pm always has a bunch on sale, and I've scored a few from ruelala (http://www.ruelala.com/invite/srabon06 ).

Congrats on the loss! You look fabulous (and younger, too).

I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia a little over a year ago. It does take a little while to get back to yourself even after you start taking iron. I would recommend taking it easy for the next few weeks, and making sure you get all the iron your doctor recommends. There are supplements with vitamin c (I take…

I'll be a junior this fall, and I'm looking for new MFP friends :)

I'm 19 and double majoring in Psychology and Sociology. My goal is to lose 15 lbs.

I've been using a light box for SAD for a while now, and it really makes a big difference in my energy levels. I use it almost every morning, but I also use it some afternoons if I feel the need for a pick-me-up.

Kale chips are a must. I lightly coat with oil, sprinkle on salt, pepper, and garlic, and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. I also really like sauteing kale with onions, dried cranberries, and a touch of olive oil.

Personally, I had a nasty reaction to it, while it has worked wonders for my mother and sister. It seems to work well without many side effects for most. For any type of psychological med I really suggest planning to take it easy your first few days after stating and make sure you have someone checking in on you just in…

19 year old college student here (and in the middle of finals). I'm 5' 2" and 137 pounds trying to get to 125. I'm also looking for new friends here, so please feel free to add me!

3783 + 15 = 3798

I'm 127 pounds, netting 1400 calories (I eat my exercise calories), and I'm losing steadily. I actually lose more at 1400 calories than at 1200. It takes a little bit of experimenting to find the calorie intake that's works for you, and 1400 just turned out to be my magic number.

120 - 125 with 20% body fat. Anything below that on my body and I'd be an absolute waif. I want to look trim, fit, and toned, not super skinny. (I have nothing against girls my height that like to be 100-115, especially because of how differently some of us carry our weight.)

I eat sweets and lose. I'm all about moderation. My typical desserts are things like: no sugar added baked apples, banana 'ice cream', a serving of my favorite sugar cereal, or a piece or two of candy.

To you, these women look: [x] Just right [ ] Too slim/skinny [ ] Too big/ not slim enough Do you think that these women have a better figure than you? [x] Yes, and it makes me feel bad about myself and how I look [ ] Just a little [ ] No, I’m happy with the way I look and don’t feel the need to look like the women in these…

I know a bunch of people have said this, but try upping your protein. If I workout, I feel like I'm starving if I don't eat at least 100 grams of protein that day. Canned tuna and eggs are great for upping your protein intake. Also, MFP protein recommendations are pretty low. I've heard to shoot for about 1 gram for each…

Awesome! Nothing like the moment you realize your skinny pants turned into your fat pants.

I buy either Dannon Oikos, Chobani, or Taste of Inspirations (Food Lion's store brand), depending on what's on sale. I've gotten where I find the fruit ones too sweet. I buy the plain, sweeten it with splenda, then add things like: fruit (esp. apple chunks and berries) cereal/ granola cocoa powder cinnamon I've also heard…

I'm 5' 2" and my goal is 125. I might reevaluate once I get there, but I know I don't want to get under 120.

I love Stash teas. The earl gray and chai spice are my favorites.

Can you just do a healthier or lighter dessert? If so I have a few ideas. -chop up an apple, sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and splenda, and microwave for a minute or two -freeze a banana, then put into a blender or food processor for 'ice cream' -mix plain greek yogurt with splenda. dip fruit into. -piece of dark…

-All my double digit sized pants. I have one or two pairs of tens that still don't look ridiculously huge on me. -My housemates stupid candy in the kitchen. He better eat the last of it today, or there's a little bit of a chance it might accidentally fall into the garbage can... -Surprise when I see my reflection and don't…

Homemade chocolate chip cookies and absolutely anything Reese's makes. I must have eaten 4 of the eggs during Easter. One of the people I live with has a Reese's bunny in the freezer right now. I looked at the nutrition information and it has almost 800 calories!

I have a similar body type, and recently fell in love with a pair of jeans from Target. They have a new line with six different cuts, and fit 4 is great. From the Target website: Fit 4 -Mid waist & curvy -Slanted pockets help complement your curves -A smaller waist ensures there is no gapping

I would make it abundantly clear that both of you settled on that college completely independently. Also, make sure that they hear that you value your education, and are working towards some type of goal (grades, job, internships, place on a sports team, or whatever it may be for you). Tell them that your boyfriend's…

I love green smoothies! I start all my smoothies off the same way, with 1/2 cup milk and a frozen banana. The banana gives a creamy texture, a sweet taste, and eliminates the need for ice, so the smoothie is less diluted. From there I add whatever fruits and vegetables I feel like or have lying around. Add-ins I've had…

Wendy's chili. It's about 300 calories, under two dollars, tasty, and filling.

If your doctor is happy with your weight, you're happy with your weight, and you can maintain your weight without making yourself miserable, then everyone else's input is irrelevant. If not, you might want to consider another weight.

You obviously know to sub yummy fruit for the unhealthy sweets you crave, but have you tried backing that up with visualization? You could try picturing yourself at your start weight eating the junk you crave, and picturing yourself at your fit goal size really enjoying a healthier alternative (salad, fruit, etc).
