Salmon is my favorite dinner food! You can do salmon sweet or savory. Here are tips: *Frozen salmon is cheaper. To thaw, thaw in lukewarm water bath (in wrapper). Don't thaw at room temp. *Fresh salmon is really good, but expensive. Honestly, I've gotten used to frozen so unless it's for sushi, I buy frozen. *Either way,…

Hi, you can add me. I am 5'1 and about 136 lbs. I would love to whittle down to about 120, but 125 would be great too.

Hi shorty! Here are my (short person) stats and what is working for me: Gender: Age: 28 Height: 5' Weight: 135 lbs In two weeks, I have lost 5 lbs on MFP. MFP has me on 1360 calories per day now. My settings say that I would like to lose 1 lb a week, but I have a fast metabolism so I guess I lost more. Here is my advice:…

Also, you have really good bone structure. With cheekbones like that, you will look 25 forever!

You are a stunner!:smile:

Welcome to MFP! It's good that you are focusing on eating healthy and keeping a healthy weight at such a young age. After 25, I gained from stress eating and now I'm doing some backtracking. That said, I think you are what I would call ''skinny healthy" at this point. 5'6 at 129 lbs is an ideal weight for a 24 year old…

Traditionally people eat hummus with pita bread or pita chips. I LOVE WHEAT THINS! They're just a little bit sweet so they're pretty satisfying. Also people do baby carrots, crackers, or those little bagel crisp things. Pretzels might be okay too.

I went off birth control for six months in 2008. I did not gain a pound. I lost no hair. I had no mood-swings side effects, but of course did have heavier periods. Don't worry yourself about it. You may even find it's easier to LOSE weight off the birth control pill. That said, unless you are wanting to get pregnant be…

Haha! Normally I hate those calendars of women in bikinis and dudes lookin all shirtless and serious BUT I think this is a cute idea. Mainly because it's about looking and feeling good and supporting normal-attractive people. By the way, I find diverse peoples more attractive than cookie cutter models anyway! I think this…

All right! You have already taken the first steps - I hope you hit your stride real soon! My best advice is to stay on myfitnesspal and get friends/keep reading message boards. Log in every day! I used to think self control alone would hoof it, but reading about other people's discipline REALLY keeps me mindful and…

Sugar is tricky isn't it? People say "everything in moderation" but consuming sugar makes you crave sugar more. Likewise, (for me) not eating sugar for a while makes me not really want it as much. For example, on year for Lent I gave up sprinkly sugar. So I had to drink my coffee with just creamer. By the time Lent was…

Um, you look amazing! If I could make that change in 90 days I would be over the moon! Is your plan mostly workout or mostly eating clean or 50/50?

Darling, you don't have to explain yourself. Somebody was just being a bore. Your thinking was reasonable. If a person has too great a calorie deficit for too long, that person's metabolism can go into starvation mode, and they won't be able to lose weight. Now, honestly I don't know what your calorie intake should be. But…

This cracked me up!!!

Whatever you decide, its your marriage/values/ethics - and nobody can tell you what those should be. However, my husband and I do not and would not under any circumstances go to a strip club.

OH MY GOSH, it is insane! I got married in 2010, my bridesmaids were my sisters and they looked beautiful. I wonder how on earth women that superficial actually find men willing to marry them.

Soo, if he only sells clothes to folks in the 0-6 size range, well, I hope he is in California or some other skinny-butt state. But really, couldn't he have said, "Miss, we are at capacity on inventory right now"? Some people don't try to be rude - it just comes naturally.

That shopowner is a JERK!!!! Size 8-13 is not fat!

Here are some ideas: Hummus (roasted red pepper is my favorite). Sprinkly parmesan (yes, I know, it's still cheese but it's pretty low calorie and works on rice, popcorn, pasta, crackers, sammiches) Seasoned avocado (guacamole without the sour cream) Tofu Infused olive oil (infused with garlic, rosemary, anchovie,…

I went to Japan 8 years ago. Here are some things I observed: In 2004, before the anti-soda thing really got going with Americans, I observed my young Japanese buddies drinking NO SODA. They actually drank green tea with every meal, and between meals (which in those amounts rev your metabolism). They biked and walked all…

If you are going to a theatre, I think something crunchy like baby carrots or crispy pita chips would just be too loud. Although they would be PERFECT for a movie at home. Some other alternatives for a public theatre: -Small serving of gummy bears -Dried apricots/bottled water (sneak 'em in!) -Fig Newtons -Coffee -A couple…

I size 10 is so not fat. I just bought a pair of size 10s - you can look at my profile tummy pics (AFTER A MEAL). Yeah, I wanna lose about 10-15 lbs and get more fit but assuming you are toned, size 10 is perfect for a bikini.

Gosh, there are a lot of fit ladies on this thread.

I'm 28 trying to lose 15 lbs, I'll send you a friend request!

I am 5'1'' and 140 lbs. I wear a size 6-8 in pants and a medium shirt.

Some very low calorie adult drinks... *Champagne *Bombay Gin and Tonic w. Lime (make sure Bombay gin) *The "Skinny Margarita" is about 70 calories A little higher calories (but really good) *Vanilla Vodka with Ginger Ale

A weakness for French fries notwithstanding, I do think there is A LOT of really good healthy food out there. Here are some things to try. I'm listing them in a Unhealthy vs. Healthy format: Potato Chips vs. Pita Chips and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (Wal-Mart Deli) Ice Cream vs. Frozen blueberries blended with low-fat…

GASP! You look amazing. I didn't know people who aren't models could even look like that! Question: how tall are you? My goal weight is 125 but I'm only 5'1'' .

Do you think about these things when you're not near water, or um - hippos? I mean, being fearful is normal, human, and well, good. I get all psyched when I watch jellyfish on tv week but I don't truly get my hackles up until I'm wearing fins and a snorkle. If you find yourself getting in a cold sweat when you and your…
