Good fats and protein. Yum...just make you sure you eat no salted nuts or you run you sodium quickly. :)

Make sure you are getting plenty of water and potassium before and during your work out. Losing potassium and sodium will call you to have muscle cramps.

Wow good for you! Very inspiring!

What are you eating and when. I am a HUGE(literally and figuratively speaking) eater and try to eat something every 3-4 hours combining a fruit/veggie with a protein for a snack and then for meals....protein veggie carb(maybe). Now the servings are generally no bigger then my fist which at first may be hard so start with a…

I would highly recommend getting rid of the pills. I have seen some rather HORRIBLE complications as severe as death in people who take pills. It is your choice...as obesity also leads down that path. However i would look at why you are having mindless eating and keep busy by going out with friends or reading or even…

I like to eat a crunchy veggie or apple...celery with peanut butter....or save a few calories and feel like I am really being bad by having a skinny cow ice cream bar( I stick the 100 cals or less ones)....

I add my veggies to pasta...favorite pasta is dream fields low carb pasta. cook it, while cooking it in another pan sautee red, yellow, orange peppers(one or all 3), mushrooms, garlic and artichokes. When pasta is done drizzle a small amount of oliva oil add your mixture add your seasoning(I usually add pepper, garlic…

I was having this problem as well eating only 1200 calories I increased to 1400 and eat maybe 200 of my exerise cals back. I also eat small but more frequent meals/snacks. Check out body for life....also carry fresh fruit(apple) and nuts(unsalted almonds are my fav) and if you feel it dropping to wait to long just have…

Try getting rid of all refined sugar in the house for about a month or so(everyones a little different)......and then see if your cravings and taste buds don't change. I hadn't had full fat/sugar ice cream for 4 months and I had one yesterday....could only eat half. It wasn't even that tasty to me so eating half was…

Wow!! You look amazing! very inspiring!

The body is a bit like a car in that if you don't feed it you will run out of gas. ie if you don't feed your body you will not have energy, your body will keep everything in order to survive. And if you don't believe about starvation look at pictures of people who are literally starving and see how unattractive they…

Wow! Amazing loss! I am just at the start of my journey and you are very inspiring and encouraging!

Hey there....Try skinnytaste.com if no one has mentioned it, its an awesome site and generally you can make the meals with fat free instead of low fat and they still taste great and lower the calories.

I'd be the same way!!! I can't wait!

I've lost 22 since Jan 8th. I eat 6 times a day about every 3-4 hours. eating small but more frequent meals will help increase your metabolism. And I never worry about how late I eat, I find that if I eat an hour or so before bed(snack) that I am not nearly as hungry when I get up which decreases my morning binge! :happy:

Indianpolis IN....

Its a very diffiucult challenge loosing weight...I'd say add more exercise (trust me I get the long work week and not having energy after work). If you are having a hard time working out after work, try getting up before work...I find that I have more energy and am in a better mood as well as more focused when I get up(I…

It happens to me as well! I blame water weight and what time of month it is!

To add on here, it not just rapid weight loss but the years of abusing your body that can lead to gallstones along with genitics. For instance I've been overweight for 10 years or more and everyone in my family but my brother has had to have their gallbladder removed....what this means... no matter if I loose weight or…

Isn't that the part of the awesomeness of loosing weight is to have to go down in sizes? I'd be super excited about that!:happy:

I feel alot like that when my blood sugar is low, are you getting enough sugar and proteing(to maintain blood sugar) before you run? I'm not a runner(obviously) but that would be my educated guess.

and then I said...Oh honey size does matter!

Instead of going to the bar when you are mad try working out or going for a walk....

Ok coming from someone who had been both super fat(now) and super skinny(back in the day), I'd rather be healthy and fit (by a MD's guidelines not necessarily a skewed mans) and trust me when I say skinny(fit) women are by far not the most hated...in fact I would go to the opposite extreme and say fat women are more hated.…

Yes I do as well, or if I allow myself a free day I feel bloated, tired, and gross the next day.

Just remember that if you mess up...it doesn't have to be an all day thing, don't feel guilty, and tomorrow is a new day which means a fresh start! Stay strong and focused!

I have 2 great Pyrenees one I had since a puppy and the other is a foster until the rescue can find him a home(anyoneinterested??) The rescue dog keeps.me moving cleaning up his anxiety driven accidents and hunting him down in the neighborhood whenevery he can figure out how to escape (jumps the 6ft.fence opens.doors opens…

Try eating every 3-4 hours meal snack meal snack and so on 6 small meals/snacks helps.keep from binging and helps you stay full.

check that gronala! I was looking at it the other day in the store and even the low fat low cal was pretty high. Also while it may have been high for you, you also need to see if it was empty calories or chalked full of the good stuff! I do agree with everyone else though 1000 calories is not enough. If you want to cut…

Girl, you are so not alone!!! I have about the same amount to loose and its tough! I encorporate all my coworkers, friends and family into it. I have not told them how much I want to loose but I let them know I am loosing and the encouragement and support I get has been fantastic! If you don't have that...friend me and I…
