Nuts, seeds, fatty fish like salmon, avocado/guacamole, full fat cheese/yoghurt, all nutritious additions to bump up your cals. One thing to note is that when you're not eating enough you tend to be less active in your daily activities (moving less, moving slower, very low energy) and hence burning less. This reduces your…

This is more of a really simple dessert dish, but I just microwave an apple and then add cinnamon (and some sugar/splenda if you need!) Or you can just have slices with yoghurt/hummus/guacamole! Apples go well with pork too :)

this is me exactly, and agree with what she said, very sound advice!! Also, when it comes to hard to log foods, i usually google the restaurant/dish and check for nutritional info, and then check for the ingredient list and try to calculate the calories as close as possible! when all those are really unavailable, I just…

Agree with this! Your walk is definitely worth something!

To be honest, music puts me in a good mood. I just need it! But current favorites: zee avi dream a little dream of me - norah jones everything - michael buble arctic monkeys breezeblocks - alt j

Just remember that whatever changes you make you'll have to keep it up for life to maintain whatever loss! Also, weight loss or fat loss? Are you just aiming for a number, or aiming to look good? Lighter doesn't necessary mean you look smaller/skinnier/better. See this as a lifestyle change rather than a diet! Since what…

can you eat sweet potatoes/squash?

Measure yourself! See if you've lost inches. Also, open up your diary so people could help better! And your current stats? Height, weight! And exercise you do? ETA: Great job seeing a difference :) Exercise does that magic!

Hey! Don't overwhelm yourself, how can it not be enough when you've improved from before? Patience and positivity is key!! You want to sustain the weight loss right? Then do it gradually so you can actually sustain it for life and NOT gain them back!! It'd be hard to give much advice though since your post is rather…

i have nothing but WOW!!! Congratulations :')

I used to be anorexic too and totally understand what you mean because I now suffer with overeating and binge eating and emotional eating. Your stomach does shrink, but for me it isn't so much about stomach shrinking such that I CAN'T eat crazy amounts anymore, but that it takes lesser calories for me to get the nasty side…

Your weight fluctuates because of a lot of reasons and throughout the day. You also may retain water due to: TOM Muscle use water to repair after workouts (especially…

Read this!!!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013 Also, 1200 cals is probably because you chose the most aggressive weight loss option, 2lb/week. And also, mfp expects you to eat exercise cals back!

To me, it's not so much about height but more about proportions. If I had nice proportions I wouldn't mind being any height. Unfortunately I don't like being 5'8 because I look big when I gain weight. Also am big boned and hate my chunky legs. Limbs are also not long. Don't like my proportions! My height might not be tall…

Do your research beforehand! Google the restaurants if you know which, check if they have nutritional info, if not, find out what the dishes are like and try to calculate the estimated calories and pick your best options! don't get anything fried/crispy/breaded get sauce on the side request for lots of steamed veggies…

Not having it at home and refraining from buying them, at least for now! Also good to let someone in your life know about it so you can be held accountable... Pressurizing but it works. If you really must have chocolate, do dark choc! Also could consider switching to healthier/lower cal alternatives, but that would depend…

Physically, I'm currently insecure about every part of my body and face. Except maybe my collar bones which is prominent because I'm big-boned. If I had to pick, I'd say legs and face. Even at my skinniest, my face was still chubby (just less chubby) and I hated my legs. As for my face, I hate almost the whole thing. Too…

I almost never drink my calories, find it a waste. Ice cold water ALL THE TIME! Sometimes with a slice of lemon. Some tea if I feel like it!

Always! Just isn't realistic for me to stress about being on point every day

Just WOW!! Congrats and thanks for sharing, so inspiring :)

I always set my alarm before my actual wake up time because I need the snooze time. I've read that it's good to lay on your bed for a minute with your eyes open rather than getting up straight away! Gives you time to compose yourself! Then I get up and get my ice cold lemon water (wakes me up!) and multivitamins, wash up…

I tend to avoid buying any of my binge trigger foods, especially if I know I'll be alone. I binge in secrecy so I tend to do ok eating my binge trigger foods in moderation in public, but I still try to abstain just in case it triggers my desire for more of it when I get home later. If I really need it I'd still buy it…

I value myself on always being kind and not judge people before I get to know them, but I am very vain and obsessed with how I look and dress so I'd say I'm more concerned with my self appearance. I am attracted to people who have charisma and dress well, but that is not a criteria, just an inclination. I don't know if…

you keep wearing the same thing (baggy shirts and sweats) because you don't feel like dressing up

OHMY BUMPING ;)

this gives me hope, thanks.

I pressed on walking (albeit slowly) up and down stairs for 90minutes. Trying to compensate at least a little for yesterday's 6000cal binge.

Today wasn't too bad, but it's over my 2000cal limit and I ate like I was in an eating competition so it's considered a binge. Summer - 8 The Binge - 9 Binge free for: - days

bumping!!! cheesecake fanatic here *v*
