I used to try 1200 and it was nearly impossible even when eating almost entirely clean and vegan. I almost always felt hungry, too. Now I try to stay around 1500-1700. Even if my weight loss is slow, it's more likely I'll stick to it longer because after a few weeks of less I'd get too burnt out.

I think I'll track mine privately :)

Fantastic!

Fantastic results! Good for you, thanks for sharing!

Don't marry him, run for your life!

Ignore it, what other people do shouldn't matter to you. Almost any resentment is actually a reflection of our own personal feelings.

I heard they are developing a gluten free cookie from my friend.

You look great! Amazing job! I have a friend with PCOS and it's been very difficult for her so thumbs up to you for pushing through it!

YAY! You look fantastic and you do all the work to get success without excuses. Keep inspiring!

Fantastic results! Good for you!

As others have mentioned, cinnamon or brown sugar. You can also make a sweet potato bake (roasted with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar, I made some last night with squash), mashed sweet potatoes, sweet potato and black bean quesadillas, ect. ect. Google it and you'll find a million ideas.

Message me! :)

I have Yoga For Families and my son and I like it.

"Take a Bow" by Rhianna "Go (Mutha****a)" by Angie Martinez "Fighter" Christina Aguilera "Stutter" by Joe Those are my empowering ones. Sad ones are different.

I met my boyfriend on OKCupid.com after my friend encouraged me to join. She had just married her boyfriend of two years whom she met on the site. It's free so there are definitely so people to weed out but it was for a more progressive crowd. The more questions you answer, the better your matches. If you met someone you…

I had to. I don't use pickup lines. I get by on my good looks alone. lol

The other day I heard, "she ain't got the boom like i do" by Blaque. I loved that song.

Don't worry about offending them. It's your body. If someone was offended that I wouldn't eat their fried chicken, I don't care. You don't have to be rude and turn your nose up just politely skip over it. If it really bothers them and gets brought up just explain to them that you aren't a big meat eater.

This happens to me sometimes with those particular fruits (citrusy fruits) because they are very acidic. It happens mainly when my lips are dry and chapped in the winter months. Lately I've had a lot of oranges and my lips have been swelling slightly and feeling sensitive due to the acidic fruit and dry, cracked lips. I…

My son has extremely restless sleep and sometimes nightmares when I know he's hungry, thirsty, or hot. I also put him in 100% cotton PJs so he doesn't get too hot and if it's a night where he'd barely eat dinner then I sometimes give him a snack when he keeps waking up. Maybe you're not eating enough throughout the day or…

Eating out sucks when you're trying to stay within nutritional limits. I think we can all agree that most restaurants give way larger portions than anyone should eat and we consider that the norm. I try to make the best choices possible at restaurants while still enjoying going out. I try to make it a rule, now, to eat…

Also, add a little peanut butter to your greek yogurt and dip apples in it, adds even more protein.

Beans are a great source of protein and the carbs are very, very useful so you shouldn't worry too much. I eat beans with most of my meals. Adding low fat cheese will add protein. Start eating nuts, I have raw almonds on me all the time and the protein is good. They are high in healthy fats. You can also try vegetarian…

Don't diet, they don't work! :) Good luck on your new strategy!

Dry beans are cheap and go a long way. Also, look into finding a food co-op in your area. You can help by working there for a short amount of time and get food in exchange. There are probably plenty of food pantries around that would serve you since you're low income. You could get most of your canned and boxed goods there…

I use a muffin tin, too, and make mine with egg beaters, broccoli, and cheese. I love it! You can put them in the fridge and heat them up in the morning to have for a few days. I also sometimes heat my egg beaters up in a coffee mug to put on an english muffin and it makes the perfect round little egg for the muffin. But…

Oh, also, mix a little with some non fat greek yogurt and it becomes a creamy peanut butter dip for your apples, extra protein.

Try reduced fat peanut butter. You can also try cashew butter and sunflower seed butter.
