Roasted in salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil and finished off with some parmesan cheese. Nom nom. Not in season in Nor Cal right now though. :(

I eat pretty healthy and have this problem occasionally too. Unfortunately, one banana doesn't contribute nearly enough potassium towards your RDA. Do an internet search of potassium rich foods for more ideas. Coconut water is a really good source but is a bit too sweet for me. You might want to try it though.

I know exactly what you mean. Actually, the measurement around your hips/booty area is your true hip measurement. I'm 5'3" and in the 170s, and my measurements are close to yours. It is really a struggle to find flattering jeans. Lauren Conrad for Kohl's has some cute jeans, but you might have to go a size over what you're…

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Thanks for sharing! I really needed a bit of inspiration this morning.

I'm no expert, but you might try adjusting your diet a little. Limit your dairy and simple carbs and ramp up your intake of water and high fiber foods like oatmeal, whole wheat bread/pasta and fruits/veggies. You might notice a little extra bloat at first, but then your body will flush it all away. Somehow it magically…

If you feel an attachment to numbers as a mark of your progress, which most of us do, combined with size (also a number) and how we feel, maybe you should measure your body fat percentage instead. That really is a better measure of fitness than BMI.

Add me! I've been on here in earnest since February, but haven't had a ton of success or made a ton of friends (yet). I just opened my diary so hopefully that will improve the accountability factor. Good luck in your journey.

When I was really disciplined (a while ago), I had a tactic where when I really wanted something "bad," I would make myself wait for 15 minutes. Almost 90% of the time, I would forget about it, but on those rare occasions when I was still thinking about it, I would indulge. That way, I would never obsess about food and…

Awesome! How many servings?

I get those cramps too. Sometimes in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, a banana only gives us a fraction of the potassium we need. I try to eat healthy and still find it difficult to meet the RDA, which is 3,500-4,500 depending what source you consult. Let me know if you find a solution here because I have this…

I have, what I consider, the misfortune of being a pear. I've read numerous studies that body fat in the hip/thigh/seat area are the most resistant to weight loss-something to do with the biology of reproduction and having enough stores to sustain a pregnancy during lean times. I've also seen many before and after pictures…

I have the good fortune (maybe), to live RIGHT by a WF. I mean, it's literally a two minute walk from my place. Suffice it to say, you have the capability of buying just as much junk there as anywhere else and possibly more than other places because everything has the "health halo effect" enshrouding it. I've left that…

Me too! 32 to get to a normal BMI, but 50 to get me in the 120s. Let's do this!

I would recommend experimenting with your calories and exercise. You might try consuming the maximum calories allowable for your activity level/extra exercise, at first. As weight loss progresses, the body sometimes starts slowing down. You might encounter times when you need to decrease or even increase your intake to…
