  • Vodka usually has about 65 calories to a shot. Your best bet is vodka and diet so you only get calories from the vodka. The "soda" people are referring to is just soda water, so it doesn't add any calories. You can also do vodka with soda water and a splash of cranberry with a lime, so you get some of those same flavors…

  • I eat the same thing for breakfast everyday too! Kashi GoLean Crunch cereal mixed with nonfat Greek yogurt. I try to mix it up with different flavors of Greek Yogurt (it's worth the extra 20-30 calories!) but I find it an easy routine to stick too. For dinner, if you can get access to a kitchen, a stir fry is super easy to…
  • Managed to beat my goal of 152 by a whole pound, I weighed in this morning at 151.0! 149.7 will be my goal for next Wednesday. starting MFP weight: 156 Official starting weight for 8 weeks: 152.7 Week 1: 151.0 8 week goal: 140 Final weight goal: 130
  • Hey girls, since you're just getting started would you mind if I join? Starting a little higher than I would've liked after a spring break of traveling in a country that fries everything and doesn't know what vegetables are, I weighed in at 152.7 this morning. I'm 5'8'', and I've got a goal weight of 135 eventually. I…
  • i am right there with you on the drinking thing, except i love diet coke. I know it's not good for me, but it's one of my weaknesses. So for me, my go to mixed drink is a rum and diet. But if you want to go the non diet route, your best bet is probably a rose kennedy: vodka with soda water and a splash of cranberry. The…

  • I used to be a total carnivore but I've been cutting back and it's great! I've always liked tofu but I'm finding new ways to cook it (stir fry with tons of veggies and hoisin sauce will always be my favorite though) and beans are also super versatile. It's really not as hard as you think it might be to not eat meat, plus…
  • Yay congrats! A similar thing happened to me yesterday too, I was at the gym and I ran into a friend I haven't seen in a month. He stopped running, looked me up and down and goes "wow, you look amazing!" It put the biggest smile on my face, and I had a great workout. I hope people know how motivational and uplifting it is…
  • I break down what I made into components- So for you, I'd individually log the bread, the chicken, the cucumber, and mayo . You should be able to use the search tool to find most things you would use in cooking!
  • I'm in the exact same boat as you. College Junior, in Greek life, living in a city, working in an industry where everything is done over drinks.. The list goes on and on. My go to drink is a rum and diet, which only has about 65 calories. I know it's really hard to do, but avoid beer as much as possible, or just have one…
  • these look great! I didn't know about hungry girl but i will definitely be checking it out!
  • any fish or even chicken (not fried) is better than red meat, so stay clear of red meat. If I were you, I would order the scallops, baked fish, or grilled chicken and avoid bread and olive oil dipping sauces that will kill you at Italian restaurants!
  • I try to not eat meat (I used to be a carnivore, but I slowly started to stop eating it so much and now I don't even really miss it- but of course, that doesn't stop me from eating it every once in a while!) and that honestly helps with calorie intake so much. I feel so much more full eating other foods that are more…
  • everyone looks so great! definitely some awesome motivation!
  • Just the post I needed! I'm new here, 5'8 and starting at 150. I don't know if I necessarily have a goal end weight, I'd like to see 130, but I'm more interested in getting back down to a consistent size 4-6 instead of the 8-10 I'm at now. I've found that forcing myself to record every little thing that I eat has been…
