I weigh in each and every morning.

I can maintain this diet. I have never been a big eater, so switching out things like French fries for greens is my ticket to sucess. I already rarely drink soda, and mostly just drink water. Oh and yes, I made the tuna salad myself, so I knew exactly what I out in it. Tuna, pepper and celery... I can't give up fast food…

Unfortunately I am a picky eater. Especially with meats. Chicken and ground beef are about my only choices. I don't eat fish, except tuna from a can. I don't care for steak unless it is concealed in something like steak fajitas or chimichangas. I have always Ordered kids meals when dining out.. I can't eat huge portions…

I never said I was significantly underweight. I was underweight for most of my life. I also stated 98 lbs is not realistic again and my goal is 125-130. I am not 18 any longer, nor am I trying to be.

I weighed myself three times before my shower and twice after. All five times was the same weight.

I have been underweight for all but the last 6 years of my life. I know I need to go back to my prior eating habits and that is what I have done. Amazingly the weight is coming off. I have finally learned it is all about the diet I injest and not how much I exercise. I realize I can have treats but I want to exercise…

Oh don't get me wrong, I still have treats, but I am limiting them. I love cheeseburgers. I would eat one every single day, but I can't do so and lose weight. I can assure you, I will have cheeseburgers again.

I am pretty sure I ended up here because I like sweets. Cupcakes, pie, cookies, ...ice cream....milk chocolate, and the whole jar of hot fudge topping I ate right before I started at mfp. I am trying to cut out all the sweets, fried foods and crap. I have some weak moments , but for the most part I have not over indulged…

Tomorrow my lunch will be spring mix greens, tuna salad, and a slice of cheese on a whole wheat tortilla. I have carrots in lieu of chips.

I eat lots of chicken. Today. I was over on protein.

I eat lots of chicken!

When I say crap diet, I mean French fries, baked potatoes, rice, fried foods. Cookies, donuts, cakes, ice cream every night.... I have always made fairly good choices meal wise. I mostly order kids meals when we eat out. I never order sodas. I have not cut out the quantity of food I eat. I just changed what I ate.

I have been high on protein some days but still low on calories. I am loving the diet! Other than switching out fried foods and breads for salads, I have not changed to much. It is amazing the difference without eating breads and fried foods.

I don't think I understand why I need to. I have opened my food diary so it can be viewed. I am eating a well rounded diet. It just happens to be below 1200.

What would be calorie dense foods? And why do I need to hit 1200 calories?

I am 5'3"-5'4" as well. I started MFP (this time) on May 8 at 157 lbs and I am down to 153.8lbs. I would love to see 125-130. I was this weight 5-6 years ago so, I am sure it is obtainable. I tried to do this two years ago, with logging everything I eat and walking. I saw zero results and quit. Earlier this month, I went…
