stevia & unsweetened coco powder , pb2, blueberries, banana slices, a little cereal... greek yogurt every day :)

I wish I didn't like quest bars - I could probably save myself some serious money. I am also at the gym by 530 every morning but am not doing as much heavy lifting as you are so our fuel plans will likely be pretty different. I can't workout on a completely empty stomach but also don't allow time to make anything or digest…

I just sent you a friend request! I am lucky that my family and most of my friends are fairly health-conscious as well so I don't get too many comments. I love food and exercise and love to talk about them both, but only really do it when asked. I think my (mostly) healthy diet and workouts has affected some around me in a…

Listening in.... mexican always ends up being a treat for me becuase I can't limit those tortilla chips

26 and been logging in for 124 days today... add me if you would like! :)

I make my own little "instant oatmeals" that i mix 1 TBS in before adding the hott water. I mix it in my greek yogurt with sometimes some unsweetened coco powder too

I'm a Sales Manager at a hotel - desk job. I pre pack and log my breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks every night before work. We have a cafeteria that serves us a meal every day if I wanted. There is almost always an abundance of leftover food from hotel events - french toast, bagels, homefries, sandwiches, cookies, etc... it…

and quest bars ... okay, I'm done now

emerald also makes 100 calorie packs of almonds - cocoa roast, vanialla roast, cinnamon, etc. that are a great snack.

i love sweets, especially chocolate. sometimes there is nothing better than the real thing so if you can limit yourself to a serving of whatever you really enjoy i would recommend that. i also have a few chocolatey things that i have often that aren't too bad on the calorie count. plain greek yogurt with some stevia/truvia…

5'4" with a goal of 135... would love any new friends!

I will be eating pasta while everyone else eats ham. Carb loading for the BOSTON MARATHON! :)

I am 5'4" and currently at 147... have been as low as 137 and as high as 160+. I felt best at that lowest weight but it was harder for me to maintain... I am aiming to get there again but will be happy to settle around 140 for awhile and focus more on how I feel and look.

I will send you a FR! I have been training for a marathon (it's on Monday) so that's why you may see some intense wacky calorie burns in my diary the past few months... I don't normally run 20 miles for fun. Once I finish that I am looking forward to starting back up with some weights and spinning again. Our calories look…

Do as others have said and focus on your own goals. My boyfriend eats huge portions of whatever he wants. He is also one of the lucky ones who doesn't gain weight. I choose to cook dinners that I know he will like and just serve him a larger portion. This way we are both fed and I am still meeting my goals each day. When…

this is all great! I also wonder when I will know what I want my goal weight to be. I have a few different numbers in my head but think I will only truly know it when I am there. In the meantime I will just focus on 5 lb goals at a time... at what point should I slowly begin to increase my daily calories? I have seen a lot…

This is so perfect for me! I have gained and lost the same 10 lbs more times than I can count over the past 3 years. I understand that I am fortunate I can stop my fluctuation at 10 lbs, but also really want to learn how to maintain. Why do I spend 6 months beign so dilligent only to let it slip away with summer BBQ's,…

I am up at 5:15 and at the gym by 5:30 for about an hour workout (give or take). I have one of those 50 calorie unsweetened applesauce cups before I go along with my vitamins... works great for me! I have also done half a banana or a couple of almonds at times.

You will definitely get a lot of mixed reactions posting about a cleanse on here but I can give you my honest opinion. I have done a similar 3 day juice cleanse once a year for the past 3 years and I personally have loved it. It's pricey and will not give you lasting weightloss which is important to realize in the…

microwave popcorn is a great idea!

jcohocj follow meeee!

how were both of your results??? what was your fitness level before begining?

i live in boston, ma - it was the last one in the grocery store so must be popular...!

I did a 3 day juice cleanse at one point when i was getting off track, i felt like i needed something to give me a boost. there are a lot out there but i did the cooler cleanse - i actually chose this one becasue i had a groupon and juice cleanses tend to be pricey. i did it with two other girls in my office and 2/3 of us…

I lost weight on the old system steadily for 6 months, once they changed it i maintained/gained as well...

i was never a huge fan of red meat and just recently stopped eating chicken.... still eat fish, eggs and dairy. no particular reason other than i wanted to see if i would feel differently - so far so good! and the bambi thing, too
