Thanks all for the advice. Once you have momentum it seems easier... the trouble is getting going again! I'll get there though!

My guess is that is a recommendation from myfitnesspal's legal team to ensure that people aren't being encouraged to eat to little. Funny how there are countries where people are literally starving to death and we are telling people to eat more. If you ate nothing but fresh fruits and veggies all day long, and you still…

I never eat breakfast and never force myself to eat. I wait until I really feel that gurgling hunger pain before I eat anything. And then always eat less than 300 calories per "sitting".

TOM= Time of the Month I eat Peanut Butter off the spoon. :wink: It satisfies that creamy sweet flavor but the protein is sooooo good for you and helps with the iron requirement. And the best part is it still feels like a guilty pleasure... :)

Someone explained this to me in a way I could understand.... If I drop my cell phone on the ground... I don't smash it into a million pieces... :huh: If I am over my calorie goal by 70 calories... don't want to smash my day by overconsuming 500.... ......It made sense to me... :laugh:

Touche. Still takes every bit of effort to not...! I just gotta start feeling strong again.

"You look so great now!" --- Now?? "Being thinner makes you look younger... you look like you are 16!" ---- :huh: "Oh you are finally losing your baby weight..." ----ummm... thanks?

I use Olive Oil pam and love a good fried egg. :) No butter!

I think if you added a cute little jean jacket, some nice looking tights or skinny jeans and some high boots it would be cute...

^^^^ This!!

I had to cut out cookies entirely!!! Not because I couldn't log them in moderation, but because I know they are my trigger food and since I CAN live without them... I'm choosing to. :happy: Plus it's kind of empowering to feel like I have the ability to say no to something that has plagued me for years and only made me fat…

It took almost a year for me not to ache where my incision was when doing crunches... but once my doctor gave me the ok... I just pushed through it and believe it or not... exercise helps heal those sliced muscles. Listen to your body. :) Good luck... I'm still not all the way there...!

Sweet boxing gloves!

Thanks sporx!!! Back at ya! :flowerforyou:

Peanut Butter! :wink: 2 Tbsp=190 calories.... and it satisfies my sweet tooth!

I am from Minnesota.... and I know exactly what you're talking about.... pretty sure it is not starvation mode... it's just so cold for the type of food we are eating.... My answer... a spoonful of Peanut Butter, warm socks, and hot Tea... :wink: Enjoy your winter!

My goal is 150 as well and will reassess once I get there.

Ok. First of all... he left you because he is an @**hole... not because you are fat!!!! Start getting angry, not sad... Once you get to the angry phase, I swear... you will want to do this to prove him wrong!!!! I have left the worst marriage imaginable and had him tell me the same thing. Didn't start losing until I…

The only food... CELERY!!!:grumble: YUchhhhhkkkk! Bring on the Peanut Butter tho! :smile:

The reason that Phentermine works so well is because it is essentially "speed", or a fancy legal version of meth.:noway: Personally would never put those manufactured chemicals in my body... but to each their own.... Would'nt be the first time a doctor prescribed a medicine that wasn't safe....

My diet savior... Peanut Butter!! I eat it when I need to reach my calorie goal for the day... When I have a sweet tooth... When I want to snack and actually be filled up... 2 Tbsp = 190 Calories MMMMMMmmmmmmm......

Never had it personally, but my Aunt paid a ton of money for it and didn't look any different to anyone (including herself)...

Water.... Water.... Water.... Water.... Best cure for headaches ever? Water! :)

Thanks nikkif87 and rnelsonxo... i'll take anything over Joan Cusack! LOL.

godroxmysox: i think you look more like Natalie Portman I've been told I look like Joan Cusack... someone please disagree!!! LOL :laugh:

This sounds heavenly!!!! :love: I found my new treat! Thanks!

Way to go! Gives me hope for my pregnancy tummy!

For me, it is a big spoon of peanut butter!!! :) 2 Tbsp=190 calories

I am a single mom to 3 kids and am too busy to snack during the day... so sometimes if I'm a little short of my calorie goal. I will grab a spoonful of peanut butter before bedtime!! :bigsmile:

Turkey Ranch Stroganoff 1 lb Ground Turkey Sauteed White Onions Mushrooms 3/4 Cup Light Sour Cream Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Powder Mix all the above together and serve over egg noodles.... Delish!! (remove the mushrooms if you are a shroom hater!)
