A 6 inch veggie sub on whole wheat with extra veggies, red wine vinegar, cracked pepper and oregano. Maybe some baked lays on the side.

I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this question. I think it all depends on your lifestyle and goals. Personally, I try to keep my breakfast at 250 calories, my lunch at a max. of 300, then allow myself to eat a larger, healthy dinner. That way, if I eat less than the amount of calories I have over for…

I'm an apple shape. You can see a picture of me in my profile at my heaviest weight (around 200 lbs) and then a recent picture of me at my wedding at about 160. I still have 20 lbs to lose.

I started as a 40DD, and I am now a size 38C. I can totally relate to how you're feeling. While a 38C is not small- it's small compared to what I was! I still have about 18 lbs too lose, so I know I will go down one size... if not two sizes. At a healthy weight I was around a 36B/C, so that's probably what I'll end up as.…

I'm 5'4''. Maybe around 20 lbs for people I don't see often. Once you continue to lose, you'll hear it from people you see more often. I'd say around the 35 lb. mark. :)

An easy way to increase your veggie and fruit intake is to make green smoothies. A green smoothie is basically a smoothie with a base of spinach or other green leafy vegetables (kale,etc.). I make mine with a small handful of ice, about 1.5-2 cups spinach or greens, fruit, and a little water. If you want to sweeten them up…

Congrats on your weight loss. This definitely puts into perspective for me. I've lost an elephant's heart and a rack of baby back ribs!

As the people above say, look for lean meats (chicken, fish, lean beef,etc.). Stay away from menu items that say they are fried, battered or smothered. Another way to cut calories is to ask for dressing or sauce on the side or skip the cheese. You can also choose a variety of healthy side items such as a sweet potato (no…

When I hit a plateau back in June this is what I did- I stayed with my 1200 calories per day, but incorporated green smoothies into my diet. Basically, green smoothies are smoothies made with a base of spinach or other greens. I would use about 3 cups of spinach and 2 fruits of choice. I'd have at least one a day sometimes…

I've been been 170-172 for the past four weeks, so I know how you feel. I agree that you probably haven't reached a plateau since you are losing inches. Just try to switch things up a bit- different excercises at different times/days and/or different intensities. Maybe try a little more strength training as well. As your…
