The battle is waged in the kitchen. If you stick with calorie counting and make sure that you count everything as accurately as possible (kitchen scale helps for me) then you will lose the weight.

Here's a recipe for a quinoa tabbouleh. It's basically a salad with tomato, cucumber, and garlic with a dressing made of olive oil, pepper, lemon juice, and salt.

Hi all, I'm not sure how active this group is (looks like people are still on here). I'm Leah. I'm 21 and I'm studying social work in college.
