I can see you are planning meals! That's great and very helpful. Veggies are low in calories so eat those to satisfy your desire to graze on food. Eat about a half a chicken breast worth of meat a day, a piece of fruit and any calories left go to carbs, the more complex the better. The bigger the variety the better so you…

I think you are in a really bad emotional situation that has no good emotional ending at this time. Continue to be true to your standards and behave like an adult or the situation will be far worse. When you are on the other side of this you'll understand this relationship was not worth the pain it's caused you and you are…

As long as you don't load them with to much salt or fat eat them any way you can.

Mrs Dash steak seasoning on all veggies, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Good on meat as well.

When you look in the mirror are you happy? Do you look proportionate? No one is perfect! Only you know the answer :-)

I'm not bothered by it but it does prove your body has no idea if a calorie is healthy (broccoli) or unhealthy (most restaurant food). If you eat more calories then you need you gain weight no matter where they came from. Unfortunately, if he is genetically predisposed to high cholesterol or high blood pressure the salt…

I intend to eat everything but in reasonable portions. I will still be over goal but it's only a day or two.

I think the answer is do you feel well? Do you have energy, go to the bathroom normally, sleep well and do you feel like you need to eat more? By feel like you need to eat more I mean are you sincerely hungry or just want to pig out or have a craving? If you are feeling well and eating a good variety (being nourished) then…

Even if you were a little heavier then your picture you are still not fat. 6 inch stiletto heals are hard on the feet. Stick to 4 inch heals and make sure they are well fitted and comfortable.

This is not a food issue. You should never undermine a parents rules unless it is illegal or harming the child.

Gently............ Honey, your pictures tell me you should not be on a diet. You have a beautiful body and do not need to lose weight. Please see a doctor or talk to someone. Your 18 so maybe your Mom or an older woman who you trust? Perhaps emotionally you don't understand that but logically you must since your here…

Any veggie you want in any quantity you want. I like to put Ms Dash steak seasonings on them but use w/e you like just be careful of the calories. Ranch dressing, for example, can have lots of calories. I make huge glasses of green tea with saccharine mixed with flavored tea like mint. Dry sweetened cereal is amazing low…

I believe if you eat out a lot your calories tend to be less accurate. However, if you eat prepackaged food like Lean Cuisine, you know exactly how many calories you eat because it's already figured out for you. Or, like me, and eat 98 % of your food cooked from scratch. I can measure the portion of carrots, or w/e, I put…

I didn't.

I wondered as well.

I ate 1200 to lose for almost a year and was fine. I'm a very small person and insanely active as well. Mentally I found 1200 constraining so once a week I had a pig out meal of fatty/junk food. To maintain my weight I eat between 1300 and 1400 a day and am fine. I think a lot depends on your metabolism and what foods you…

I eat a treat every day. EVERY day. If I didn't I could not stay on a diet. Putting chocolate and a mint tea bag in coffee usually does it for me but I am not against a donut, chips, candy bar or some other thing. Just don't eat the whole bag of chips or more then 4 or 5 normal sized cookies.

I'm not going to do any diet that does not involve daily chocolate. Now, if I can smear chocolate syrup on a mastodon rump I'll be all over that diet!

One day is ok. Log it, own it, accept it, deal with it. Your not perfect and tomorrow is a new day. P.S. I hope it was all yummy! Days like this are good for the soul :-)

I agree totally! I can eat all my calories in ice cream or lettuce and still lose weight if it's a deficit. However, with my family genetics I do not dare eat things with cholesterol or salt. We all need to remember we will get old and have old people sicknesses.

I own a cleaning business and am very active. It is ignorant, and rude of you, to assume you know anyone here well enough personally to make the statement you made about me. If I eat more then 1300 or 1400 maintaince I gain weight. Each persons metabolism is different. To assume all people can eat 1800 to 2000 and lose…

Another person who thinks because something works for them it works for everyone.

Cocaine

This is what I thought as well.

Grats to you! What a beautiful thing to hear on a Monday morning. The best place to start is your doctor and how many calories you need to maintain a healthy weight and healthy baby and Mom. Post some pics after the baby is born.

People cheat because hey have a lack of respect for themselves and the person they are with. If you respected yourself you would never lie on such a grand scale.

To bad your food diary makes you a liar.

McDonald's is not responsible for the food parents feed their kids. It's a fast food joint and eating there is not really a healthy option. It's a treat like cake or chips. Having said that I'm glad they are offering options.

You weigh 120 lbs and are trying to lose 7 to 10. You do not need to lose anymore weight. Seriously, has anyone but me noticed this young woman does not need to lose weight?

Personally, I think we should regulate the government more instead of the other way around.
