I think that sounds good. You could serve it to me anytime.

My first thought is that you are eating more than you think.

When I decided to get in shape, I set a goal for myself. Once I achieved it, I reassessed and decided I wanted to keep going. I guess where I landed was a healthy (on lower end) BMI where I feel good and don't feel like I'm starving. For me that's 120.

I don't count it :) lost weight anyway.

It's hard to see the differences in ourselves- I know for me particularly I am very hard on myself. I went shopping last night and bought clothes that were a size 2 jean and extra small tops but I still don't feel that small. People tell me, like my parents/boyfriend, that I am SO skinny, that I don't lose any more weight.…

I would never want to take a break from my exercise routine, it is too vital to my mental and physical well being. I would fall out of it and be hard pressed to return. But if you need to take a break, there is no rule against it.

I think it's due to the fact that the burns are just estimates and therefore it's highly likely that they are inaccurate.

You can't shift it.... but if you eat well and increase your cardio, that should help. Also when you're doing any exercise, squeeze your core in tight. It's not only good for your form but also good for general core strength and stability.

If you don't like it don't eat salad, but I personally love it. As far as dressings go, I am on a light balsamic vinaigrette that is around 50 calories for 2 Tbs. Play with different lettuce; SERIOUSLY iceberg is not the only thing out there and there are frankly other that are so much more tasty and nutritious and can…

Those are my regularly scheduled feeding times almost to a tee. You could try (as I do) to plan for snacks at these times that you can eat when you get the hunger signal. I have about a 140 calorie snack at 10am and 2pm. It works well for me. Healthy fats, protein and fiber will help keep your fuller longer as well. You…

I brought chocolate chip zucchini bread to work today, so go me.

You and I have a lot in common; I am 5'4, 24 years old and started at around 150 pounds; I am 120 now. I gained about 10 back over the last year mostly due to stress and dropped it in a few months eating at 1425 a day (not including exercise calories and I work about about 90 minutes a day 5 days a week) . I agree with…

If that is what helps you then roll with it! The spacing and calorie content of meals doesn't really matter as long as you stay within your goals. I personally eat 5 meals a day, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack. I spread them out fairly evenly and save a good chunk for dinner after my workout because that is what works for…

How do you feel? Are you hungry? Personally I think that calorie goal for maintenance is about 1000 calories too low for someone with your activity level.

You are a young pretty woman.

Do you eat back your exercise calories? Do you take rest days? The only way that you are going to lose weight is if you take in fewer calories than you burn. Exercise can help increase the deficit but ultimately it is for fitness and diet is where you will see your weight loss results.

Unfortunately I do not have any advice for how to stop obsessing because I am in many ways similar to you. Early 20s, definitely got some BDD and newly trying to maintain. What I try to remind myself when things like this happen (inevitably they do, that's life) is that it is just one day/one meal. It might be showing on…

Basically all that needs to be said IMO. And they tend to be expensive at least to a broke college gal like myself.

I meal prepped lovely salmon :) This is the recipe I used: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/355432595569643329/

Eat more frequently and more filling foods.

oatmeal- only takes a few mins or bake ahead eggs, boiled fried scrambled, or make ahead in a quiche yogurt w/ berries/ granola toast/mini bagels with cream cheese

I do it occasionally. It definitely makes me sweat!

I love breakfast, and typical breakfast foods, but I agree that there's no reason to have a particular schedule for foods. I have had grilled chicken for breakfast and oatmeal for lunch and dinner. :)

What about just walking? or walking up and down stairs?

Literally could be anything you want. This week I had stuffed peppers. My regular go to-s are grilled chicken with peas and sweet potatoes, crustless quiche, salmond with veg and brown rice, salads, wraps, sandwiches. The possibilities are endless, especially if you have access to a microwave to heat things up if you need…

my new favorite thing to do with PB2 is spread it on chocolate rice cakes. Delicious
