I was pretty upset when I found out how many calories I was adding with sesame and sunflower seeds on my salads. Totally not worth it to me, whereas calories from cashews are worth it because they are a satisfying snack.

To stop eating the moment you can. If i'm eating a sandwich and even for a second I think "I don't need this" then I just wrap it up and put it away or even throw it away. People get angry about this idea and think that wasting food is bad, but its just as much wasting if you don't need the calories.

It always takes me about three weeks to loose even half a pound. I don't know why, but that is always how it is. It is always depressing and my boyfriend reminds me that it is always the same, and I relax and wait it out. When I am consistently logging, I don't see a loss or fluctuation of even .01 of a pound for around 10…

Exercise can make people more hungry and actually gain weight, there have been many huge news coverage stories about this in the past year. Obviously it is healthy to exercise, but not necessary for weight loss. Focus on getting better and just worry about what you eat and you will keep losing. Having to rest might…

Actually, I was at my lowest weight ever, even after I was used to the food in SE Asia. I ate nothing but friend rice, fried noodles, instant noodles, chips and cookies and lost 5 lbs. After I got back to the states and was so happy to eat vegetables and meat again I gained 10 lbs instantly and have been working so hard to…

haha! The first day I was in Bangkok I ate two bites of ice cream for lunch (just because I was so hot) and a half bag of chips for dinner. After walking around the market seeing/smelling raw fish and chicken left out in 110 degree weather with thousands of flies walking around on them and smelling the durian and cat…

Huy Fong Garlic Chili Sauce!! It is made by the company that makes the good rooster sauce/ Sriracha I put it on eggs, in soup, on sandwiches, on veggie burgers!! I mix it with frozen corn and black beans and then use that mix to make lettuce taco wraps with light sour cream. For a little while I was actually worried that I…

Great attitude. Frame of mind is key. For me, I think both, "I'll eat anything, I deserve it." and, "I have no options with my strict diet." are dangerous mindsets. In my experience both treating food as any type of a reward or feeling too constrained to enjoy myself lead to bad decisions that affect my mental state, which…

I haven't lost a pound yet either, I'm still 115. I think it's fine to lose slowly when you are at a lowish weight already. I remember when I was initially losing weight that there would regularly be 3 weeks of nothing before I would lose a pound, but it was still consistent on that schedule. I am trying to just stick with…

I wish that was me!!! Every time I try on pants at the mall the people tell me I should try size 4, which is wayyy too big! I must look much much bigger because of my broad ribcage and low waist to hip ratio. I would love to be more pear shape, even if that meant actually gaining inches in my hips to balance things out.

I thought my goal was 115, but then when I accidentally got down to 110, I realized I was much happier with my body. So, that is why I'm on here again, to lose that 5 lbs I put on. I have really slim hips though, I am already a size zero in almost every store and can't fit into even 00 in stores that super vanity size like…
