Ya, sodium is pretty SATAN in diguese. I try to eat as less as possible usually maxing out at around 1000. I watch my unnatural sugar, and sodium like I watch my calories and fat. To me, it is equally important. I am doing this to be healthy- not just to lose weight. The items I use to eat in the beginning of this change I…

This guy....

Summer time in the LBC. I was born there. Oh ya. Long Beach Memorial. Me and snoop dog. Thats my homeboy. :-}

I usually eat mine for dinner. I know, I know. I am fired. And maybe you shouldnt take my advice. But it works well for me. And I also usually pair it with a salad, or broccoli.

pretty soon, they will be too big.

sodium/ satan. both start with "s('s). both part of the same family. :-}

Love how you signed your letter "peanut butter junkie". OMG! I love peanut butter. HOWEVER, I wish it wasnt so gosh darn high in calories. When I enter maintenance, in just a short time, peanut butter and I will become buds again. I have to hide my (many) jars as I try to lose these last few pounds. When I enter…

I love this recipe i received from my boss. It is excellent, filling, fresh and low in fat, calories, and sodium. hoorah! I open one can or kirkland chicken breast, cut up one bell pepper, about five stalks of green onions, one jalepeno, one habenero and toss the ingredients together. Depending if you like the spice, you…

Im 5'8, and big boned. LOL, and I am not using that as an excuse for being overweight (like I use to). I started at 258 (really big boned) and now I am at 163. My goal weight is 158. Although, I would love to be 140, i dont know how realistic it is for me.

While I havent hit 100 lbs yet (currently I am at 94 lbs lost- in about 8 months), I am almost there. I almost never eat 1200 calories a day. My average is probably near 1000. While I do eat, I make sure I eat pretty clean. I also work out 6 hours a week. Message me if you want more info.....

so sorry for posting off topic, but I am going to continue on (that was my disclaimer). Seeing you in maintence gets me excited. I love your food choices. It is real food, but good food in healthy portions. I am inspired. Maintenance, I will see you in two weeks!

I use a whole bunch (5 packets per day) of sweetner. Everytime I tear open a pack I get this horrible gut feelings that tells me, "you say you want to eat clean, this is not clean at all." But like an addict, I continue to hold, tear, and pour. I am dire need of replacing these awful yellow packets with....well.....…

As noted, I NEVER eat back my calories. I have been at it for over 6 months now, and I am still going strong. Even with having lost this amount of weight, I still continue to lose 2 lbs a week. Booyah!

Ok, so I will probably get hammered for this, but I will say it anyways. I NEVER eat back my calories for a variety of reasons: 1) I dont have money for an HRM so I never know exactly what I burned, so I never know exactly what to eat back. 2) This to me, defies a simple concept of calories in vs. calories out. 3) Away…

Put the cheeseburger down.

mrs. and mr. Oh a cookie is not going to kill you. You are losing too much weight anyways.....

perfect.

I NEVER eat them. I do not eat them for a variety of reasons: 1) I have never heard about eating more to lose more until I came on here- although I have no reason not to trust the dynamics of this site, I do not trust the theory of eating extra to lose more. 2) I do not have an HRM, so I am not able to tell exactly what I…

I average 2.8 lbs a week.

90 lbs in 7 months.

I'm 5'8. Started at 258, currently 168, would like to be 158.

I am trying to lose the last 15 too. These 15 lbs are the hardest 15 lbs I have ever tried to lose. A few months ago, I wouldnt have thought it would be such a struggle. But, these past two months have been SUPER tough. Throughout my weight loss journey, I had lost 85 lbs in 7 months and I never eat my calories back.…

Hi. I guess I am doing something similar to this right now. I think it is called the four hour body diet. Or something. Basically, I will be eating only slow carbs. (whatever those are). I am only doing this for a week or so. I have 15 lbs until I hit my goal weight and I am hoping this will jump start my weight loss…

i write this not to bash you at all. But i just had a question- isnt five pounds five pounds? I dont know why people say muscle weighs more than fat. That is like saying what weighs more- five pounds of feathers or five pounds of bricks? The actual volume may be different, but the weight itself remains constant.... five…

i wish i could give you some sort of advice, but I cant. The purpose of my message is to say I totally know what you mean when it says "under her calorie goal". But, oddly- I think that is suppose to not be a good thing on this site. I think you are suppose to eat right up to your goal.... afterall it is called a "goal".

Watch ur sodium and sugas as much as u watch calories and fat.

Heck ya!

this post totally encouraged me. 16 more lbs and I start maintenance. Can't wait to be "normal" again.

i have tried a variety of protein bars, and to be completely honest (to me) pure protein is nto as tasty as a few others. Just recently, I tried this brand called "think thin". Now, these bars are 100% delish. I use to eat promax-- but there is 30 grams of sugar in one stinkin' bar. No wonder why I thought I was eating a…

Trader joes has a lite parmasean ranch that's super delish low in fat calories and sodium. Fresh and easy has their eat well products which are very low in cal fat and sodium. They have a great ceaser abd raspberry dressing
