Me: 1 LNS: 1 i just started couple days ago.. did it last night!!!! :)

i have a tub of vanilla protein powder which i stopped using because i don't have a blender and my naturopath just told me to use cold water and shake it in the bottle.. i got sick of it... i want to know if it's a must to get a blender to make it more delicious? to make a smoothie i guess i need one.. just didn't want to…

i always feel like the eating the right amount is more important than how much you work out.. i dont want to be mean but i always some regular people in my fitness classes, and they are not slim... i should say they are quite chubby but they workout really hard.... there are so much involved in losing weight, it's not just…

i looked at your food log. i wish i could eat clean and light like you!.... maybe i enjoy food way too much.. which is bad! you can add some nuts/seeds to your salad, since i see that you eat salad for lunch a lot! those are healthy and will up your calories easily!

i need to stay motivated too.. my problem is eating way too much and loving food too much.. sigh.. sometimes i have to force myself to exercise.. but i feel like watching what you eat (and the amount) is more important than exercising! exercise doesn't really help me. i just do it because i feel like i have to.

i did it again! last night was the first night i joined this and i already did it.. i snacked on cashew which is my weakness! they are healthy but i always eat way too much.. i can't stop. they are so good and they keep me satisfied! sigh.. i weight myself and gained 3 lbs.. i already logged today's meals and hope it keeps…

because i always eat too much.. i love food and it's almost my enemy seems like...

hope it's not too late to join.......... my biggest problem is binging at night too.. i always always want to snack!!!!! arggh.. it's annoying to lose self control :( i will start tonight.. hope i can get some motivation and encouragement :/

rice cake with peanut butter is good.. but i can't just have one.. so not sure if still consider as snack lol :)

i saw a recipe and made an avocado pasta salad, it's really yummy.. just mash the avocado and mix it with cooked pasta.. add some lemon juice, olive oil and pepper. it's really good and healthy. however, the only thing i hate is that avocado doesn't last long.. they ripe so fast and can't store in the fridge for long

i have never tried it but really want to try.. is it hard to find? i dont think i have seen it in the grocery store.. do you have to get them from whole foods or store like this? thanks!

i saw this recipe on a blog and made it! i think i need to add more oats because i didn't fill me up! but you can play around and add different fruits/nuts. i also added some plain yogurt or greek yogurt!

Chia seeds - can use it like flaxseeds.. add to your oatmeal, yogurt, etc Quinoa - use it in place of rice/pasta coconut oil - hmm.. i just know you can use it on your skin.. for cooking, maybe substitute with your regular cooking oil? sprinkle some in your salad?

nuts are great.. you just need to eat so little but they are packed with nutrients and calories, which you are looking for! :)

i chose 0.5 lb per week from the very beginning as i dont have a lot of weight to lose. i still go over all the time!! but i thinklosing more slowly is easier and much healthier for everyone..

that's a very bad relationship with food, or junk food in particular... that you have to avoid them or you'll lose self control.... it's like drugs!! this won't work in a long run.. maybe you 've been avoiding them for too long.. you should let yourself eat anything if you feel like it. that's life!! you should enjoy…

that's a good combo of exercise! good for you! i do about 40 mins aroebic class during lunch at work.. either steps, tabata... i don't go crazy as i don't want to be too sweaty at work.. do that about 3-4 days a week.. then after work, i head to yoga.. for 1 hr.. either hot yoga or power yoga.. do this about 5 days a…

i love this one. i spend a lot of time browsing this site! just for fun and get inspiration!

i love banana bread :)

i read online that anything with cream base, cheese, milk that kind of thing don't freeze well.. also i made some asparagus and freeze them.. they feel soggy ..

hi i wouldn't name myself vegetarian but i'm not a big fan of meat! i think they kind of smell... lol :) but i eat egg and drink milk and cheese and yogurt! and i don't mind fish but they were done right :)

welcome! sometimes i have eating addiction too.. i will would eat and eat until my tummy feels it's gonna explode.. some days are better.. some kind of craving.. not sure what.. anyway.. good luck on your journey! my goal is to stay healthy and eat healthy! let's do it together :) cheers :))))

welcome! i'm from BC too.. still in BC! :) i have the same problem.. fairly skinny but gained some "baby fat" in my tummy in recent years.. i eat quite a bit but thanks to my genes that i don't gain tons of weight.. but still working to keep it healthy and lose some tummy fat as i get older now and metabolism is lower :(

welcome! feel free to add me! i've been pretty skinny when i was younger too. i'm not "fat" or anything but would like to keep it that way as i get older @_@ and metabolism gets lower........ trying to stay healthy and eat healthy and not binge too much :/

hmm i would pick lightly active. you are on your feet most of the time, but it doesnt really pump your heart rate... i would be more conservative then overestimate :) good luck!

thanks for sharing. actually a lot of us already know these "rules"... actually they are not rules but things that everyone should really do to be healthy overall! i know it's hard.. i'm still working on it.. i've done pretty good on some but some are really hard! like going to bed hungry lol! i think diet books are…

can you please share your diaries?

i used to weight every sunday morning to be consistent but haven't been doing so.. just weighing myself about 2 times a week in the morning. i do log it when i weight.. mfp just automatically posts the info when the # is less than previous.. i recently removed it because i find it quite annoying. it's just for my records…

i'm pretty much the same too..... it's like i'm another person at night! well i have been going to bed early so my "binging" is during my dinner now.. i eat my dinner then i grab one thing after another.. just like last night.. some nights are better.. need tips too plsss!!!

sleep is more important if i have to pick between the two! you need to have enough sleep to exercise anyway.. you need energy for that!
