You guys are the best!!! Xooo thanks for all of the delicious ideas!!

Thank you all for your suggestions! Keep them coming! OMG... baby bries? Yes please!

I LOVE THIS! Regarding clothes, that is what kills me too. I just bought a cute sundress that hides my stomach and it helped :) Congrats on your progress so far, keep it up!!!!

Pickle thanks for adding your favorites! The edamame crackers sound perfect for me (I love crunch!)

Thanks for the ideas! They all sound great! Especially the egg white salad and teryaki!

I love this post! I am a snacker, but prefer salty snacks. The brussel sprouts w/bacon sounds perfect!

First off, I am no expert! But I think you've had very good advice here. I really think you need more calories, good fat, and definitely more protein. You can do it! I live alone currently too. Here are some quick and easy things that I do when I'm not up for cooking etc. Edamame (soybeans), frozen, they only take a minute…

No pic but today I was craving crab! So I made a nice crab salad for brunch: 1 can bumblebee premium fancy lump crabmeat A squeeze of a wedge of lemon tsp of curry powder 2 chopped hardboiled eggs 1 tbsp of Kraft olive oil mayo chopped green onion 1 tbsp of Bubbi pure Kosher dill relish It was good! 276 calories, 28 grams…

Night shift is where I gained over 40 lbs. I think my problem was not sleeping properly, and absolutely eating horrid food at work (people make snacks, bring candy around, drug rep leftovers etc). And to top it off I have a side business which is a chef recipe site where I have to edit food photos etc! I'm not sure I can…

You are absolutely stunning. As a female, I think I would like to see just a wee bit more body fat. But it's all about what makes *you* feel happy and healthy. Congratulations to you!

You look so great, healthy, happy! Very impressive!

Giving credit to the creator of the recipe! It comes from http://thevillagecook.com/spinach-burgers/ there is a photo there as well!

I LOVE this post!!!! Congrats, you look AMAZING.

ROCK ON!!!! All of you! PS you all were gorgeous before too :) *SUCH* an inspiration. xo

Nice work! You can really tell on the back, where your waistband of your shorts is! I just started Ripped and it's killing me lol :)

I like Kashi GoLean: Per 1 cup: 140 calories 13 gm protien 10 gm fiber 30 gm carbs 1 gm fat

Is anyone still doing Ripped? I just started today! Damn I'm out of shape....

Do you have a blender, can you make a smoothie? Protein powder, yogurt, and some frozen fruit? Add half an avocado and a spoonful of peanut butter if you want some more fat. (I know the avocado sounds strange but you really won't taste it in the smoothie!) Or....bring hard boiled eggs and make a piece of whole grain toast?

I like this too! It's not *quite* as tasty as regular peanut butter, but a close second. For 2 tbsp, 45 calories, 5 g protein, 5 g carbs, 1.5 g fat.

Ive come to the conclusion that all fresh veggies taste good in a short stir fry (or roasted) with a nice balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Raw also! My favorites are kale, cabbage, carrots, and tomatoes.
