My favorites: Carrots with Hummus Hard boiled egg Handful of Almonds Whole wheat bread with almond butter and a drizzle of honey Plain greek yogurt with a bit of homemade granola and raspberries Edamame IF I'm not sure if I'm actually hungry, I drink a big glass of water or a cup of tea and wait 15 minutes to see if my…

Protein bars are supposed to be supplements to help provide energy before/during a workout and protein after a workout. I mean, if you eat 3 protein bars a day and aren't working out then yeah, probably not great for you. But I sometimes eat one before/during a workout for a burst of energy that allows me to workout longer!

I'm 5'6 (AND A HALF!) 125 lbs (20.2 BMI) and WAS eating 1200 per day, seeing no results and going to bed hungry (oooor just getting to the point of so hungry I would start eating everything in my fridge). I upped my intake to 1450, and I usually don't eat that much (leaving room in case that 5 oz piece of fish was actually…

Instead of pop I drink plain green tea Instead of milk chocolate I eat dark chocolate Instead of wine I drink...ok shoot, I still drink wine Instead of egg I eat egg whites Instead of sugary oatmeal I eat plain oatmeal with protein powder Instead of ice cream I eat frozen greek yogurt mixed with protein powder Instead of…

Lots of good discussion going on here, lovin it! Okay, so to answer some questions and give some feedback to the lovely feedback you guys have been giving me. -I am focusing on losing 10 pounds, because I gained 10 pounds. That's pretty much as far as that thought process has gone in my head. -1lb a week may be a bit…

When you have a bikini body, you like bikinis. When you don't have a bikini body, you don't like bikinis. No need to blow out anybody's hot bikini body candle now. When I was overweight I took bikini bodies as an inspiration. Sure I was jealous, but I used to motivate me, not irritate me. These bikini pictures are success…

So tall!!!

If you guys are friends, why don't you just talk to her about it. Like, "hey, I don't like it when you talk about how much weight you lost because it makes me feel bad." Why try and find a "come back?" Be honest with yourself about why your upset. Be honest with her. If you're friends you should be able to talk this out…

Try filling out your diary before you start your day. Balance it so that you're getting high protein intake and lower carbs. Some days I feel like balancing my food diary is like balancing my check book, but hey, it really does work I promise!!! It seems like you like pizza (so do I!) so maybe you could make home made…

Snack on celery...or ice!

You may be at 1200 calories, but make sure they're good calories! 1200 of ice cream sure won't make you lose weight (I'm sure you're not just eating ice cream but I'm just saying...) Make sure you're not going over on fat or sodium. Do more cardio, drink more water, and eat clean! You don't necessarily have to eat more…

Drink lots of water and hold tight! Your body needs to get used to eating less. Try eating more fiber for lunch, or eat 6 smaller meals a day. I usually eat six meals a day each one below 300 calories. So I never go long without eating but I don't over-eat. Good "between meal" snack ideas with protein/fiber to make you…

1. WATER!! 2. Aunt Millie's Light Whole Wheat Bread 3. Fun size candy bars (nice because still get a treat without all the calories) 4. Subway 5. Tofu 6. Frozen veggies 8. Pure Protein Bars 9. Muscle Milk/Muscle Milk Light 10. Coffee!

I wish the separated natural sugar and refined sugar. I stopped eating fruit because a banana would take me over, and then I was like, this is crazy! So now I just don't track sugar!

A half full water bottle. I hope this is a "Signs" situation...

First of all, thank you! It took me about a year to get down to a good size (like 135ish) and about another half a year to really slim down and get toned. I rock climb maybe 3 time a week right now. Before, during the weight loss process, I'd usually do 30-40 min on the elliptical in the morning and then a kickboxing and…

Aw, you can do it!! Thank you for the nice words! :)

KEEP US UPDATED. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THIS TURNS OUT! You're very pretty, and from all of his little gestures, it sounds like he likes you. But even if he doesn't, he seems like a really sweet guy, and wouldn't be weird or awkward if he didn't feel the same way. We know one thing, he cares about you, so either way, I think…

My favorite quotes: "Sacrifice is giving up something good for something better." -Know that what you're working for is worth more than bad food and lazy days :) "When you fall in a hole, you die or get out." -We all have bad days. Mess ups. One (or two or three) too many slices of pizza. But we log it. Learn from it, and…

A-MA-ZING! Way to go girl, way to GO!

I ran down Johan Franzen and Niklas Kronwall at a casino (literally chased after Franzen). I've never seen these big tough hockey players so afraid :) But they were both super nice!

There were many times I thought it was impossible. There were days I wanted to give up...but I literally would have to take it day by day telling myself "I will not give up today, we'll see about tomorrow" and then even hour by hour "I will not eat that cake within the next hour...we'll see next hour." Keep small goals,…
