  • I am the same way most of the time. But, I feel like I eat foods that keep me full and am actually eating most of the day so I understand why I'm not hungry after my workout. Since I workout in the evening most of the time, I make myself higher-calorie protein smoothies when I don't feel like chewing the rest of my…

  • The ice where I live always tastes funny, so I freeze bananas for all of my smoothies. I usually use 1 banana, 1/3rd cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk, and a spoonful or two of Greek yogurt as a base for all of my smoothies. Then I add any other fruit I want! You can also add spinach in to get an extra serving of vegetables…

  • Cereal is the worst for this! 3/4 cup for a serving of cereal is never enough to fill me up for breakfast. And it looks so measly in the bowl, lol. Since 1,400 has been working, I'd continue eating at 1,400. You don't HAVE to eat so little to lose weight! I usually range from 1,500-1,700 and am trying to up my calories…

  • Someone already posted a link to a skinnytaste.com recipe. All of the recipes there are really great! I usually bring tuna, chicken, or shrimp. I have a few different go-to combos such as chicken, black beans, corn, and salsa on a wrap. I make the chicken mixture over the weekend and bring that to work. Or an arugula salad…

  • My boyfriend of 2 years and I broke up recently too. I don't think I ate for 2 days because I was miserable. I stayed in bed and cried. It's terrible and hard, and I'm still sad to be honest. But I knew I had to pick myself back up and keep going because I was getting healthy for ME. I channeled my sadness into exercise…

  • Good job! Soda was the first thing I gave up when I started to get healthy. I was drinking probably 2-3 sodas a day, 5 days a week. It's been 5 months since I had my last one. Was definitely really hard to give up, but I feel so much better. In fact, I don't drink any caffeine at all yet I feel so much more awake.
