Be careful not to start gaining. It is never good to come from deprivation. Taking care of yourself and your body is for life after all. I changed what I crave and what I eat for good so I will not be changing what I am eating even after I get to goal.

Haven't done fast food for years, even gave up gluten so there is really not much in fast food restaurants that I can eat anyway. We all make our choices. I like to know how my food is made, where it comes from and what is in it. I prefer to spend my calories on whole clean and healthy food. this is forever for me. Fast…

I saw a documentary proving that a diet based on high dairy consumption prevents the absorbtion of fat. They took several people and put them all on diffferent diets and analyzed their poo abstracting the fat. Everyone was given the same amount of calories and the same amount of calories from fat. It was quite gross but…

I think people blame too much on carbs. It is not carbs that is the enemy, it is foods like white bread, white rice, fried potatoes etc etc. I loooove my fruits and veggies. I also think that high protein diets are overrated and can be dangerous. Too many people overdo it with the protein in my opinion.

I put my starting weight at my highest. I have gone up and down my whole life until now. I put my highest weight there to see how far I have come. This battle is mostly psychological for me. I have really changed things around for good now and no longer gain weight, so this time it is staying off forever. My ending weight…

put the scale away and let the way your clothes fit you be your guide. I hate letting the number on the scale difine me.

I don't weigh anymore. It is linked to my emotions and self worth and I allow that number to define me. It is better for me to base my progress off the way my clothes fit me.

Clean meats, fish, beans and eggs are starters. You do need some protein but not too much. There are too many protein pushers on this site. Unless you are a serious body builder, you don't need too terribly much protein. I am a pretty clean eater myself and the base of my diet is fruits and veggies. All the rest comes…

I get a B12 shot in my butt every 3 months. I eat fish and eggs, no other meat (I am a pescetarian). I made this choice when I was 10 years old so there is no going back for me. Fruits and veggies are the bulk of my diet and I love the way I feel when I eat them. I do not feel great when I eat processed food and load up on…

I am strange because I tend to binge on mostly healthy food. It took me a while to shift but I have officially shifted for good. At least I have fixed the foods I crave. Rice is my downfall but I have changed my shift to brown rice instead and I do crave chocolate sometimes but it is only the dark kind. I looove veggies…

double gear juicers are the best. I love my juices. My body doesn't have to work so hard at extracting nutrients.

I will have to try this. I think soaking the beans and cooking them myself tastes better. I make a chickpea chocolate cake to die for. This sounds yummy too.

I absolutely hate when people want me to pin down a number and most of them wait till they get the answer that satisfies. How am I supposed to remember the last time I saw them and how much I weighed at the time?. I have had many people want me to pin down an exact number and it makes me a bit irritated and uncomfortable.…

We all eat separate meals in my house because I don't eat meat except for fish and eggs and hubby hates rice. I cook for the kids when he isn't home and he eats my food if there isn't anything else and he is hungry. My food is much healthier than his. He has been baking bread for the kids and making homemade pizza for…

I always know when I have gained weight when I feel heavy in the morning after I wake up. My back also hurts and I get nightmares of my hubby leaving me.

I eat 4 yumm My blood was just taken and my doctor said I have really amazing cholesterol. Better than she has seen in a long time.

I wait to get home to shower because I live in Denmark and these ladies are very open here. They sit and chat naked, bend over so you can see everything, and it is extremely uncomfortable for me since I wasn't raised like that. I have nothing against it, I just can't get used to it. So I drive home and take a hot and quiet…

I cook it with sprouted beans, carrots, onions, garlic and veggie broth. It tastes super yummy.

I think you are beautiful whichever hairstyle you choose. You have beautiful facial features and a beautiful smile. The great thing about hair is that is always grows back if you don't like it and there are many styles to choose from so experimentation can be really fun.

My hair just doesn't grow past a certain length and it is really fine (my French genes). The bob is the only hairstyle that suits me and I have tried many. I think I will have it till I die. I think it is definitely a facial structure and texture of hair thing and not whether it looks good on fat girls or not. Short hair…

I put away the scale (no use beating myself up more than I do already) and put on my smallest pants to remind myself I still fit into them. Then I hop right back on the horse. My friends here keep me focused and it is a lot easier to jump back on the horse when I have the support. If I do go too far my back starts hurting…

Morgen by Richard Strauss :)

I love them over easy over a bed of steamed veggies. Then when I eat the eggs the yolks spread like a sauce over the veggies :)

my daughter was born with 2 teeth.

I really believe it is what you eat that makes the biggest difference. The calories from fruits and veggies do not seem to count as much and they leave me feeling fantastic!!. I have been experimenting a lot and I seem to be able to eat as many fruits and veggies as I want. Adding the other stuff is what I have to be…

just eat eggs

or save calories so you can reach for something healthy in the evenings like fruit or veggies. I am most hungry in the evenings too. Exercise helps me get my mind off of food too.

try giving it up for a while and see how you feel. This process is all about trial and error and experimenting. Soda bloat and expands your tummy. There is nothing redeaming about it health wise. You have to find what's right for you on your journey. This is obviously something you think you have a problem with or you…

you can read so many topics on this. Just get off the scale and keep working, the scale will follow eventually. It is most likely water retention. You just have to be patient and if that means giving up the scale for a while, so be it! If you are good to your body, it will be good to you too.

I am to the point of putting the scale away for good. I am weight training regularly now and am eating right. I am using the mirror and the way my clothes fit me as a guide. :)
