I'm not a big meat eater, unless it's fish/seafood. I eat a ton of fruit and vegetables. But eating a lot of fruit brings my daily sugar intake very high. And lots of vegetables are high in carbs. I've started finding some that will fit with my daily goal, and just supplementing the others when I can. The other issue is…

I think so. I'm going to start using a food scale. I think I'm eating more calories than I should be, because of overestimating.

I'd be happy to team up with you. I do great during the week when I'm at work and only have access to the food I pack, but do TERRIBLE on the weekend and just stuff my face. Please feel free to add me as a friend. :smile:

I'm afraid that if I allow a cheat meal, I'll cheat all the time. So I'm trying very hard to be strict about my diet.

I am not a big meat eater, so I eat tons of vegetables and small amounts of fruit. I do eat lots of fish though. I'm trying very hard to stay away from breads. I don't eat my extra calories that I earn from exercise. Maybe I should? I think I need a personal nutritionist! Ha :)

I really could use some support and laughs! Please add me :smiley:

Thanks everyone! I log my food, but do not use a food scale. I have one, so I'll start using that. It's just frustrating when you have been doing so good, and those satisfying results aren't there.

1400 calories a day - 30 minute intense aerobics 3 days a week - hiking 2 days a week, 60 ounces of water a day. Haven't lost any weight in 6 weeks. Good to see what has been working for people.

Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing :)

I've never cooked with bok choy. Do you use just the green part or the white bulb as well?

I love stuffed peppers, and they are also my 12 year old's favorite meal. Use colorful peppers for a pretty meal. 4 bell peppers-hollowed out. Save the tops. 1C cooked brown rice 1/2lb cooked ground chicken breast 1can low salt tomato sauce 1T Worcestershire sauce 1t each dried basil, dried mustard, garlic Mix together all…

Just for today-I will drink lots and lots of water. Is it sad that I can't remember the last time I drank water? Yikes!

I'm all for helping you get motivated and on track. Go ahead and add me if you would like :)
