Stay away from Protein bars, it's just a processed food! Most contain either sugar or fake sugar which can be worse for you. Having the fake sweet not only can mess with your gut, but it can trigger sweet tooth. I rarely eat meat. It's mostly veg, some whole grain, and eggs, and I still get 40-50 grams of protein a day on…

Hi, I'm also on 1300. My food diary is public, I think, or at least to friends so you can look at it. Lots of fruits and vegetabls. I eat enormous amounts of steamed vegetables with parmesan cheese on it. I make a yummy red lentil soup that is pretty watered down but flavorful, that I spoon over steamed vegetables and it…

WHAT IS YOUR SECRET? I'll be 40 this year, like you i'm 5'6" and I've gone between 140-155 most of my life. I would so love to experience 135, or 130! I feel like I keep losing and gaining the same 4 pounds. How did you get off the last 10?

If I'm going to lose those last 10 i think i"ve got to cut out the wine, the wine that I love so much!

I am also on about 1,300 calories. I try to eat Lots of salad and low cal dressings. Sonoma/La Tortilla low carb tortillas (50 calories!). EGG WHITES. A tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese goes a long way. Zucchini, summer squash, spaghetti squash. Trader Joe's chicken hot dogs (60 calories). apples. Any and all…

I have two kids, 3 and 5. I have a lot of bad days! I really use food to deal with motherhood emotionally. I also have a lot of body image issues. I have no idea sometimes, if I'm actually fat, or actually not. Or what I look like at all! It's confusing. I've been back to MFP for 6 weeks, and the honeymoon is over! It was…

I am 39 years old. I weigh 139 lbs and change, down from 145 (but I've had two kids in past 6 years, so I've put on and lost 50 lbs a couple times.) I would really like to know what it's like to weigh 130 lbs, but am STRUGGLING to even get to 138. I'm very active and have a lot of muscle. I run 3 miles 2-3 times a week,…

Hi, I am a 39 year old mother of two young boys. I am 5'6" currently 141.8 and my goal weight is 135. I can't remember ever being 135, maybe even since high school. I am pretty muscular, and putting on even a couple pounds seems to make me look very thick and bulky. Conversely, at 141, just 3 pounds from where I was about…

I have two boys... I know what you mean! I simply can't successfully diet without a big ol TREAT waiting for me at the end of the day!! I enjoy a delicious non fat frozen yogurt almost every single night. I choose the 8 oz, which is about 200 calories. And I work that into my eating plan every day. If I didn't have that…

Hi I'm alli. I just joined the group. I'm 38, a mother of 2 young boys ages 2 and 5. I'm having a really hard time not using food to comfort myself when I am stressed out with them, after a long day with them. I get resentful and feel DRIVEN to food by the fatigue of being a mother. It's so hard to break out of overeating…

I've been battling the same ten pounds for a couple years, I think. I get into these detrimental cycles of over exercising and then over eating, then over exercising... I'l hit a lower weight for a few months then as soon as I quit *over* exercising, at least that's how I perceive it, the pounds come back. I feel like I'm…
