1500-1900 calories

Homemade chili. I made homemade...measured...used 97% lean turkey...1/2c. kidney beans Calories alot higher than I would have thought.

I buy majority of my meat at a local butcher... but when dining out, what are we getting?!

I use healh o meter

Make a chocolate smoothie (it helps me) 1 c. milk 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 1 TBS honey 1/4 c. plain greek yogurt

I have tried this. I had a lady I worked for get this from Weight Watchers. It isn't too bad

Greek Yogurts...plain... I like because they are very creamy(thicker). I add fruit to mine to add a little sweetness.

Pears

Mine is my skin complexion

I order the Beef Salad without the side of rice(which is a heaping bowl)... and change to chicken many times. It is mostly veggies(I have them add bean sprouts to mine as well)... I tell them mild seasoning.

Yes, I am 46.

..that was using Lightly active 1-3 hours weekly.

I used Scoobysworkshop... 5 meals a day... 20% calorie reduction and came up BMR 1473 and TDEE 2025, to lose weight eat 1620.

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Try this... this is what I use and many others on here.

I am up at 6am...eat breakfast at 6:30am...work at 8am.

I was skeptical eating 1900 calories but I am losing.

1% milk(or unsweetened Almond milk) frozen fruit(or cuties) Vegetable Pasta brown rice

GOing to the doctor and getting on the scale... Not feeling healthy

belly and bottom

Yep, it works! I was skeptical at first but I am seeing results every week. Hang in there.

great job.... you have really changed! Great motivations for the rest of us.

Steamed chicken and veggies(here it is mushroom, snowpeas, broccoli), hot and sour soup, egg drop soup (minus the fried noodles) are good options.

Central Illinois, USA

I try not to eat if I am NOT hungry except...I will eat if I know I will not be eating for a long time (I don't want my sugar levels dropping...hypoglycemic).

800 is awful low...did you put yourself on that amount or your doctor?

Probably cry happy tears and buy new clothes.

I look at pictures and that motivates me... plus, going to the doctors is another! I read this somewhere one time: It takes 4 weeks for you to notice any changes, It takes 8 weeks for family and friends to notice, It takes 12 weeks for the the rest of the world to notice! I tell myself: If I don't start now, it will never…

I use frozen vegetables all the time... very rarely will I use canned.

I have heard smoothies are good for you esp. when you add fiber to help slow that spike... example... I use beans(you can't even taste), natural unsweetened peanut butter, etc. Just my opinion.
