Not sure if anyone said this but maybe start eating some meals with your friends. Go out for dinner, make food together, have a big picnic. Maybe making food an enjoyable experience is part of the trick. Don't look at food as a chore but a social activity that brings your friends/family and you together.

If 300 calories were not important for some people there would be no calorie tracking function on this site (that some people diligently use day in and day out) and there would probably not be a need for the Motivation and Support Forum. Why on earth would it come down to Cancer and weight loss? There are so many terrible…

For some people, not seeing progress or feeling like they went overboard may be enough to lose their momentum/motivation. I know that for me, when I have a bad day, it can be a fine line between losing my motivation and good head space to giving up. It can be a real bummer. I think the OP has good intentions with her post,…

Oh and also when at the grocery store a good rule is not to buy any product that is over 7/8 grams of sugar per serving. Again I don't consider this for fruit, and I am sure my yogurt is above that too. But I think it's generally a good rule. It also means no orange juice, 25 grams of sugar per serving alone!

I don't even bother with the sugar count. I have a very good diet, most days, and simply having a berry and banana smoothie with light coconut milk will put the sugar over. And even when I don't blend the fruit and eat it in raw form, I still go over. I figure as long as I am consuming the sugar from fruit form, and not…

Thanks so much Kristen!! I will definitely be checking out both of those websites. The sandwich idea sounds great and I love cinnamon raisin bread. I am going to get some asap. Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate your suggestions. Eating this way gives me so much more energy than the way I used to eat and I…

Wow, great work, what an amazing weight loss in that time too!! I am eating a mostly plant based diet as well, but would love to know what works for other people as far as easy and go to meals. My boyfriend is away presently so I am also cooking for one. Is there anything you can recommend?

Hi there! I suggest having a look at a book by Jillian Michaels called Mastering Your Metabolism. I am not an expert but maybe there is something going on with your hormones. Its easy to read and lays out the science of your metabolic hormones in a way thats simple to understand. Also, I find the 30 DAY shred pretty…
