fit and light greek yogurt has 12 grams of protein for only 80 calories and no artificial sweeteners. lentils are great - if you cook them right they should not cause gas (but everyone's different, so who knows.)

Have you ladies tried quest bars? They are packed with protein and fiber. I like them a lot although they are expensive. Some flavors are better than others also. I like Cinnamon bun.

Those are the worst flavors, but there are others that are really delicious. I recommend cinnamon bun and vanilla almond crunch.

Try replacing the behavior. Every time you want a cookie, get up and go for a walk. Or do a chore. Or check your email. Anything to get your mind off of it.

Mine is about a 20-25 minute drive. There are closer gyms but i love the one i go to and go more often than i did when i was a member of the gym closer to my house.

Love this. Thanks!

This looks yummy!

Just for today I will log my meals and keep within my calorie limits. Just for today, I will not worry about tomorrow.

This.

You look awesome! Way to go!

I just went through my whole closet and sorted out the nicer stuff for consignment. Rest will prob go in the garbage or goodwill if it is in good enough shape. I also feel kind of nervous, but a lot of my bigger shirts still fit okay, so if things go awry, ill probably just have to buy some pants. Bought a few new pairs to…

Hang in there! It can be so tough but there is tons of support here. Feel free to add me - my diary is open and i love to offer and receive support!

I also try to stay below 100g of carbs a day. I tow the line, though, (usually getting between 100 and 150) because I don't have insulin resistance. I wish I could go a bit higher fat, but am nervous about hearth health due to family history. still figuring things out for sure. Feel free to add me if you would like to dig…

Way to go! Incredible changes and you look awesome!

Homemade soups are very low in calories. Check out the stuffed pepper soup on skinnytaste.com. Delicious!

Due to snow in the weather forecast, I decided to work out on my lunch break and I'm so glad I did because the roads were too bad to go after work. I think this might be the first time I have planned ahead in that way. Also, I found a Quest bar in my work fridge that I had forgotten about. Was super excited to eat that for…

Awesome job! Good for you for prioritizing your health!

For convenience i go for smart ones breakfast entrees a lot. Also love liquid egg whites and thomas bagel thins with a but of cream cheese.

I have found that tons of exercise is key. I usually do a rigorous 45-60 minute workout 4-5 times per week. I stick to a 1500-1800 calorie diet. So far I have lost 35ish pounds and have been at it for about 90 days. The weeks where my weight stalled were weeks where I didn't get all of my workouts in and ate closer to…

Congrats! What an awesome story if perseverance!

Good snacks to have around - premixed tuna pouches (tuna creations), cheese sticks, skinny pop, homemade soups (I usually have at least one of these in the fridge - this week it was stuffed pepper, last week veggie beef). There are tons of recipes on skinnytaste.com that are delicious. I also keep protein bars and shakes…

Just for today, I will celebrate myself and all that I have achieved. Just for today, I will prepare my food and gym clothes for tomorrow before I go to bed.

awesome success story! Thank you for sharing :)

I logged the whole time and am up less than a pound. Like others say, who knows if it is just bloat. I did 90 minutes of yoga four days in a row leading up to Christmas and tried to keep the eating in check so I'm hoping to deflate :) lol Seriously, though, I ate much less and moved much more than in previous years so I…

Also interested in this recipe. I have made my own before but they were never no bake!

Love these! They have high fiber which is great for women and they taste great. Cinnamon bun is off the hook and is even better when microwaved.
