I concentrate more on the carbs, protein and fats then the calories but just make sure I'm within my calorie limit. I try to choose my carbs, protein and fats wisely and pick whole grain carbs, lean proteins and healthy fats.

The wonderful city of Chicago :) born and raised!

I'm your birthday twin :) woo hoo March 13th!

I always lose in my face and neck first and then after that its kinda an overall weight loss. My stomach is the last but probably also has the most fat.

small frequent meals will help with that as well as getting in a protein and carb in each meal including snacks. That will hold you over to the next meal. Drinking water and getting high fiber carbs is also very helpful!

I'm addicted to the chinese chopped salad with chicken. Its 370 calories for a regular and 110 more if you add grilled chicken. The small is 190 calories. I also agree with the chipotle burrito bowl. I love them and load up on the medium salsa :) yum!!!

I like to bring a side dish that I know is healthy and that I can control so that I have options. Luckily my family is very sensitive to my dietary concerns and are very helpful when it comes to making things in a healthy way. I try to get my family to make fresh steamed veggies instead of casseroles and stuff so that I…

I'm more of a math geek as I do math for a living but love sports more than anything. I play softball still and want to play volleyball again. I'm involved in too many fantasy football leagues. I also like geeky guys :)

Being fit for me is being able to compete in things I want to without being out of breath, being able to play with my niece and run around all day without having to take a break, not feeling like I'm held back from doing anything because I physically can't. I want to be like this till I'm much much older and be able to…

I'll probably walk/run it... I couldn't run the whole thing yet but I want to try and run some of it. I'm excited for it though. I'm not a runner but I want to try and get to running some.

I'm more of a math nerd... I'm an actuary and enjoy anything to do with math. I'm not really a sci fi person though. I still consider myself a nerd and most people do as well. I don't mind though.

Yum!!!! I love rootbeer floats especially with A&W rootbeer :)

Yeah we have Nancy's here in Chicago too. They have good food for sure :) Thanks! I'm excited about it, I've done well so far. I can't wait to enjoy that pizza haha.

Portillos serves hot dogs, italian beef, burgers, fries, etc... Their food is amazingly delicious!

When I finish my 12 week medical weight loss competition I'm totally getting a slice of deep dish pizza. It's so amazing! It's better than any other food I could even imagine. What is the pizza place in Atlanta? I'm a Lou Malnati's fan for anyone from the Chicagoland area. You can also get frozen Lou Malnati's pizzas…

Portillo's is sooooo delicious :) I'm a Chicago girl so anywhere that has great italian beef and fries is my kind of place!

I can't resist mac n cheese or really any pasta. I just love pasta :) Also augratin potatoes are one of my favorites. Anything that combines a carb and cheese is great in my book! Just try to have almost none of those things anymore unless I plan for it.

I have noticed that in myself as I gain more weight. I feel like no matter what I always have "drunk eyes" in pictures even when I'm not drunk. I definitely think its the weight gain but I can't wait to not have to worry about that when the weight is gone!!!

My name is popular too considering I have 2 best friends with the same name as me. My name is Allie and I'm also a pisces! :) Power to my fellow pisces! I love my name just wish it wasn't so common for people my age.

I'm from the Chicago area... and of course the foods that are big here are deep dish pizza which includes lots of cheese and a butter crust and italian beefs. Both are wonderfully delicious :) Of course the sausage on the deep dish pizza is a huge patty of sausage too!

I agree with the idea of trying to work on eating actual foods and preparing things yourself. I live alone as well and I eat a lot of leftovers because that's just how it works for me. I make enough and either refridgerate or freeze leftovers to have them at another time. I only have food in the house that is healthy for…

I also only like the bread and the meat and I get asked a million times if I'm sure I don't want anything else on my sandwiches. Ah I love my plain sandwiches! I hate condiments.

It's gonna happen sometimes as long as its not all the time. Having one day that is over sparingly isn't something to worry about. Plan, plan and plan some more. It's good that you realize it and are planning your lunch. I went over the other day because I was sick and just wanted soup and grilled cheese. I know I had to…

Egg white and ham sandwich on an english muffin :) Yummy!!!!

I have more than 100 to lose as well :) Feel free to add me if you'd like.

My periods have gotten lighter since I was put on the paraguard though they couldn't have gotten much heavier I guess. I just had some bad cramping for the first few months when I had my period but it has subsided since and I feel like a normal person. It's definitely a great IUD and there are no hormones woo hoo :)

I had blood clots in my lungs and can't use hormonal BC either but I have the paraguard which is the copper IUD and I like it so far. I had some bad cramping at first but I don't have to worry about it for 10 years and it's nice.

I was on a gluten free lactose free diet for a while. I had a lot of quinoa, rice, veggies, fruits, lean meats ( I was only allowed chicken, fish and turkey), I did enjoy the corn based pastas. Good luck :)
