I've noticed with canned soup, the label says 2 servings, but when I weigh it, it is more like 1 and 1/2.

Half an avocado on Ezekiel toast with strawberries.

Please make your diary public so we can help you.

Could you make your diary public? It might be helpful to give advice if we can see what you're eating.

Thank you for the link!

Thanks. I added the link to my favorites.

Wilkerc94 - How do you manage to not go over your caloric goals? Psulemon - I would like to start incorporating your suggestions as far as adding more meats, dairy, nuts/legunes, egg, fish...Do you have any good recipes?

What are some ways to increase fiber? I know I need to cut carbs, but I can't figure out how. Can anyone help me plan some healthier meals? Increase fat? Really? I weigh around 120 pounds. My height is 5'3". For exercise I run/jog/walk several times a week for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour or longer. I am desperate…

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware my diary wasn't public. It's fixed now. I know it's so basic, "eat less, move more," but I feel like I'm always hungry even though I'm eating huge amounts of food.

I just found out I am prediabetic. We do biometric screenings now at work, and the first year I participated my non-fasting results showed prediabetes and borderline high triglycerides. I thought it must be some mistake, so I the next year I decided to do it fasting. Again, my results came back in the prediabetic range. I…

I just started using it. I haven't noticed it helping my appetite. Maybe I need to give it time.

I would also like to be a part of this group. I am 37. I have about 20-30 pounds to lose! I started working out a lot about a month ago. I still work out 6-7 days a week, running mostly. I really feel having such a great support system would be a huge benefit. Please feel free to add me as a friend here too. Anyone here in…

I would love to be an accountability friend!

I am trying to make a change too... It is hard to change our habits! One thing that is easier for me is to make small changes and add those changes one at a time. For example, why don't you start having one salad a day. Then, once that becomes a habit, you could try something else, like drinking a liter of water upon…

What headphones do you use? I tried hooking up the headphones that came with the iphone, but they don't work.

Instead of having a brownie for dinner, I would recommend a salad or steamed veggies. Also, if you want to lose weight, having just one slice of bread instead of two will help you. If you are still hungry, have fruit or veggies. I hope that helps some... I know it is hard... Feel free to add me as a friend if you want!

Great topic... bump.

I just found out a week ago that I am prediabetic with a hA1c of 6.2. I am trying to eat healthier to avoid being put on medication. I don't really know how to keep sugars down. It seems like there is sugar in everything.

I love green smoothies! You can't go wrong. Just add any combination of fruits with leafy greens. Right now I'm drinking one made with kale, frozen blueberries, bananas, and dates. I'm always looking for friends to share ideas with. Feel free to add me if you want.

I'll have to check it out too. I had no idea Dayton had anything like that. Thanks for sharing!

Are you serious? I couldn't find anything by that name doing a google search.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

It is important to wear pantyhose at your interview and after you get the job. Most companies actually require it, but even if they don't it's still good to do because it looks more professional.

Me too! I think keeping our diaries public is helpful. I would like some friends who can look at my diary and offer advice. It would also be nice to look at other users' diaries to get meal ideas. Feel free to add me!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am also 5'4", and at my heaviest I was 145 lbs. When I look at the picture of you in the bikini (at your bigger size), looking a little self-conscious, it reminds me of myself. That is how I looked and felt when I went to the beach these past couple years. Not too fat to wear a…

I think it's about calories in/calories out. If you are not losing weight, you must either eat less or exercise more. Look at your diet and see if you can slash your daily caloric intake by 100 calories or add an extra half hour of cardio each day.

Great suggestions, but does anyone have any vegan ideas?
