I'd really like to get back into my favorite pair of jeans and actually have them fit well.

I like the consistency of Fage 0% the best. It's kind of thick, so its better to mix it with a "juicy" fruit such as peaches, strawberries, etc. and mix it so the juice of the fruit mixes well. It'll cut the taste of the yogurt. It's also really good with some honey and almonds or honey and apples. The honey will also cut…

How did you decide what to increase your calories to? Also, are you eating your exercise cals?

Anything not fried and brown rice is always better option. Chicken or shrimp and broccoli is lower in calories. You could always ask for the sauce on the side depending on how strict you are being that meal. Most places will have a vegetable and protein dish of come combination that you may like. A lot of places will also…

Definitely going to try making these this weekend, thanks! I would have never thought about making something in a muffin tin and having it for quick snacks/ meals later on :)

I just said last night that I wanted a good healthy quiche recipe, thanks for posting! Sounds delicious.

What a great idea, i never thought of downloading an app for this! Thanks for getting the idea out there.

I always bring a bag of my own fat free popcorn and portion it out to what I can have for that day. That way you still get the enjoyment of popcorn at the movies, but its not so bad for you.

I'm taking back my control and responsibility over how much I eat.

Great post for the start of a new week and reminder.

I once read someones idea that they wait 24 hours after their craving and if they are still having it, then they will indulge a little, but most often than not, your craving is gone-

Added my info, but its too late to join, so I just deleted everything. Good luck everyone!

About three weeks ago I sprained my ankle/ fractured my foot completely throwing me off my routine(at the gym of all places). I go to a circuit training gym and they put together circuits for me focusing on all upper body and abs. It's really helped me to stay focused with eating since I still feel like i'm working out and…

How did you lose that in 3 months?

Thank you everyone! :)

Hemp protein powder is great.

There are also a lot of free exercise tips online that are helpful. Here's a good one to start with http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/guide/fitness-beginners-guide

Feel free to add me too. I always find it more helpful when you have a community of encouraging people with the same goals. There are definitely ways you can do it without having a gym membership. It's one day at a time! Food is a huge part of the battle and then adding in exercise. And if you are like me, in that you know…

A few fitness instructors I know have told me that you should work out early in the morning on an empty stomach and you will end up burning more. I wouldn't suggest that for day/ evening work outs- but for early morning I've been told thats the way to go.

another idea If you are looking to get in more protein without eating red meat, 0% greek yogurt is a great way... its great mixed with fresh fruit or a little honey to cut the strong taste.

Thats incredible to see the pics side by side... Great job!

Also, there is an herbal tea by Yogi that is GREAT for this. Drink it at night and you will go in the morning. It's in a yellow and purple box.

Ditto. I'm at my highest of 153 right now, looking to get to 128. I feel like its been a yoyo of weight for the past 5 years. I also just joined, its helpful to not do it alone!

I have the same problem and have it for a long time. Lately I've been adding a tbls of hemp protein into my morning smoothie and I'm shocked at how its helped me. I didn't buy it for that purpose, but it seems to be working rather well... I've also been told in the past that too many leafy greens or fiber can actually…

congrats! dance away, that's awesome!

I recently had a great Quinoa salad with beets, grape tomatoes, avocado, red onion, wild arugula, parsley, almonds, mint, scallions, and vinaigrette. It's all cold, so its great to go with BBQ!

I just started this week as well. Looking to lose 30 pounds. Feel free to add me, always find it more helpful to not do this alone!

I am new to the site and like most of you, are looking for an encouraging network of people to help through this journey. I was successful in the past with other programs and gained it all back, so I'm starting again for what I hope is the last time I "start" this. I'd love to get some meal/ food ideas and do this with…
