I'd like to jump on this. I was able to drop almost 10 pounds in two weeks a month or so ago but 5 ish of those crept back on. I hope to follow the same pattern of dropping 3-5 pounds a week for the first week or two and then going to 1-2 pounds for the remainder. So maybe in 12 weeks I'll be down 20 or even 25 pounds! I'm…

Managed to drop 5 lbs of water and salt :) Should reach 155 by the end of the month. SW:155 (November 2015) CW: 163 (tailbone injury/holiday gains :l) GW: 125-130 by 2017 January Goal: under 155 Weigh in dates: Start of the month(01/01 Friday): 01/02 Sat: 163 01/09 Sat: 158 01/16 Sat: 01/23 Sat: 01/30 Sat: End of the…

Check in day! January 10: 158.

Its been a journey, can't believe its been almost ten years, at least through my 20s. Highest weight: 210 Lowest Weight: 145 Body 'natural' weight: 165 Ultimate Goal weight: 125 Current weight: 163 January Goal: 155 as that was my pre holiday weight.

I've been about 30 away from goal fir a whole year. This is the year I will finally get to my goal. Its been tough cuz I'm fitting into small sizes so my motivation is a bit low, but I want to be on the low to mid end of my bmi. I also have a lot of fitness goals I've missed due to some injuries last year. Couldn't run…

I think I have had many ah ha moments. The first time was when the scale went over 170, so I lost 20 pounds doing south beach and joined a gym. Then there was a gain of 30 pounds or so, and I had to buy a pair of size 14 jeans. Lost the 30 pounds when I worked on mfp for about a year, and started to do classes at my gym.…

Hey I've been around for a while. I log every day and run eveeytime but winter lol. I try to comment on friends posts so feel free to add me! Ps-like everyone my diary sometimes isn't the healthiest. Most of the time I'm pretty good.

Funny, I was just talking to my coworker that I had no idea what to do with my kale before it wilts. I will try something like this for supper tomorrow or something, thanks!

Hello! Vegetarian for the most part from 2011-2013. Had some health issues (unrelated to diet or what I was or wasn't eating), went back to omnivorous eating. Got down to what I find a comfy weight (still halfway to go though) and decided last month it was time to go back to vegan eating permanently. When people ask me my…

I love it! Also, this: http://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicamisener/21-things-that-happen-when-you-dont-eat-meat I've had a few. One was, "oh, you've only been vegan for x months? Ya, you're not a serious vegan" (says a meat eating chef) And more recently, I decline a sample of protein powder after looking at the ingredients, I…

When you say PB2 or regular peanut butter, how does this affect the texture? I have never used PB2 and thought that it was a powder. Therefore if you use it, do you have to alter the liquid that goes into these? Just curious :)

Many things! First of all, when I buy clothing, I buy them in sizes I know I will be for another 10-20 pounds. At the beginning of this current journey (Jan, 2014), I was basically just wearing my yoga pants and baggy tops. I refused to buy anything because I was mad at myself for going over 200 pounds. It probably was not…

Do 10-20 minutes of cardio minimum as a warm - up before doing any lifting/resistance training. If you like doing it (like jogging or whatever), do more if you want but it isn't necessary. I highly suggest reading a beginner lifting book like Starting Strength or new rules of lifting for women. Either of those break down…

It depends on your frame of mind and what you do already. If you are going from no activity to two + workouts a day, I'd say it would be hard to stick to and may be exhausting/discouraging. If you already have a routine you have stuck with for a while then I don't see why it wouldn't hurt as long as you like doing it and…

Bump for responses.

Agreed, I'd rather have an appetite. Being sick sucks.

That's the gift of us "pears". We have smaller bellies and larger thighs. It's up to genetics as to what we lose, where, and how much in what order.

The first day of my period, I am the complete opposite: I have no desire to eat and usually vomit even if I haven't eaten anything. (I should probably see a doctor about this actually) I just don't even bother weighing myself for that week because I know I'm bloated and I will just feel depressed if I see the number on the…

The six pounds probably was not a true gain of six pounds. It may have been 2 or 3, if that. If you get back to it you will likely drop back down. A combination of worry and stress for your mom, tracking calories not being in the forefront of your mind, more salt, less water, etc. probably brought your water weight up this…

I'm super sad. The chick pea cookie dough I made that I was going to tweak to make into these went sour after like 3 days in the fridge :( They smelt rancid. Same with the chick peas I had in the fridge in a mason jar. Who knew dry chickpeas don't last as long as canned chickpeas once they are cooked...

I enjoy fruit but lately have really just been eating half a serving of frozen berries and/or half a banana. Like everyone says, count them into your calories for the day and enjoy the healthy sugary deliciousness!

My fiancé has seen me at my lowest, 150, and my highest, 205. The only thing that changed was that I did not feeel sexy the more I gained. Losing again has definitely improved my libido. He finds me attractive either way. We do more walking and hiking as I lose weight since I don't feel like being a couch potato anymore.

I love banana and peanut butter Frozen Greek yogurt Chocolate Celery and cheese or peanut butter Dill pickle wrapped in deli meat More chocolate

Considering you are 4 11, its probably fine to go under 1200 more often than average folks. I'd probably stick above 1000 though. And zig sagging your calores is good if its helping you :) I do it and its worked well for me.

I can understand your frustration. I haven't gone through such a stressful week, but I still didn't lose when I knew I should this week. Its very disheartening and confusing since logically there should have Bern a loss. All we can do is keep trekking on, get back to normal, and reevaluate in a few weeks if we still…

If you are already doing lemon and cucumber I don't really know, unless you want to also bring some frozen berries. What if you bring 3 slices of lemon keep them all in the bottle and just squeeze one at a time whenever you fill the water bottle? That way you have the flavour you want.

Feel free to take look at mine. Don't mind the easter shindigs. I eat what I crave in small amounts.

My Easter was Friday and Saturday. Yesterday I was going to be ~1400 cals but then I binged a bit on chocolate unrelated to Easter :P Weekly though I am only over by about 200 cals so I will go for a run this afternoon, stuff my face with some protein (and leftovers) and call it a day, lol.

That's the Dream! 5'3.5", started at 206 and down to 180 right now. 50 pounds to go!
