Spicy Tuna Bites on Cucumbers: http://www.foodfaithfitness.com/spicy-tuna-bites/ Cucumber & Chickpea Salad: http://shewearsmanyhats.com/cucumber-and-chickpea-salad/ I also will put a tiny bit of low fat dressing on them, and put sliced turkey on them as a "sandwich." I'm on a big cucumber kick right now. :)

I calorie cycle sometimes if I plan on going out to dinner. I'll adjust my calories the day before and day after so I'll have some "extra" to use eating out. Calories for the week still end up the same. That being said, I still try to eat healthfully at restaurants as much as possible. Yes, maybe more food, but I try not…

I try to go to the gym 5 days a week. Occasionally it's 4 if my schedule is super crazy that week. Plus, I try to hit the trails on the weekends and walk for an hour or so. Super excited that it's finally getting nice out in Iowa. (knock on wood... it has been known to snow in April.)

Thanks for posting! I'm covering up laughing at my desk with fake coughing fits. Hopefully I'm covering well.

You can also make low calorie pizzas with a tortilla, and the oven set on broil. Here's my favorite method of making them. A whole mini pizza under 200 calories! I don't eat dairy anymore due to an allergy, so I substitute with using less "cheese" (Daiya) - and mine are around 150 calories. I try to figure out how to make…

I actually use these protein shakes as creamer. They're AWESOME. I drink coffee all morning, and I can put like 1/4 of a coffee cup full of this "creamer" for like 40 calories. All the flavors are really good too. The chai taste like vanilla cinnamon coffee creamer. I'll use like 1/4 of the shake as coffee creamer, and…

My arm band for my phone kept falling off at the gym yesterday and I couldn’t figure out why. I thought maybe the velcro was going bad or something. It has 2 settings, a larger setting and a smaller setting. I always put it on the large setting, so it doesn’t pinch my arm fat. It fell off 4 times so I finally looked at it.…

I'm 5' 8" - currently 158, hoping to get down to the 135-140 range. I'm planning on going by how I look/feel more than a specific weight. I'm currently a size 6 jeans, but look best in a size 4. I have a pretty small frame, so the extra weight shows.

I totally didn't have time for breakfast today, so I grabbed a jar of peanut butter and ate a couple spoonfuls on my way out the door!

I'm obsessed with Athleta brand (athleta.com) capris for bottoms, and I own like 20 colors of Reebok Women's Vector T-shirt and love them. I get them at Dick's Sporting goods.

I'm shoveling snow for LISS today. Useful and a workout! I may have to get one. Do you jump up onto the trampoline from the floor, or just do the squat jumps all on the trampoline? Thanks for the tip. :)

I basically sucked at the workout yesterday. I was dying, so I shut off the timer and ran through all 4 sets at my own pace. I started it with the 7 minute timer and almost died. I'm not as sore as I should honestly be. I think I may try it again tonight. I also have sucky knees so the squats and jumps are not my friend.

Hey! I'm Paige. I'm 5'8'', 26 years old, and live in the (currently very cold) state of Iowa. I'm doing BBG because my metabolism caught up with me after college, and I'm finally doing something about it. I used to be tiny and toned and didn't have to work out. I've gained about 25 lbs in the last 2 years and it does not…

Ahh, how could I forget about coconut? It's like eating grass. I am so glad I'm not alone on the popsicle stick thing. It's always icked me out. Why can't they just put popsicles on plastic sticks? And soggy cereal. I eat cereal all the time but only while it's crunchy. Once the Corn Flakes hit that soggy stage, I'm done.…

I had my first hotdog at age 18. I've never tried bologna or spam.

I thought about it but I just have basic cupcake sized pans and they're much smaller than the English muffins. Plus I can cut out more out of a jelly roll pan. :)

I make a bunch of "McMuffin" type sandwiches in advance. 100 Cal Thomas English Muffin Morning Star Veggie Sausage Patty (Can also use Jimmy Dean) Slice of cheese Eggs I actually buy liquid eggs (saves time!) and pour them in a jelly roll pan, bake @ 350 for 15 mins. I then use a drinking glass to cut out circles of eggs.…

I'm 5'8'' and my highest weight was 158. I'm currently at 156 ... I keep gaining and losing the same few pounds. UGH. My first goal weight is 130. I'm pretty small boned so it looks fine on me. Depending on how I feel, I might aim for 125. I just really want to look toned more than anything. But fat first, abs later!

http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/find-help-support Go there. Seriously. Now.

Is your diary for the last week accurate? Because you're eating between 365-700 cals a day and that sounds very much like an eating disorder. Your body cannot survive on that little of calories.

Be still my brownie lovin' heart. Those look amazing. Do you think there'd be much of a difference in taste/consistency if I substituted the chocolate soy milk for Silk Dark Chocolate Almond milk?

I fit into some jeans from last summer that I haven't been able to wear this year. And they look GREAT!

Look at what'd your eating and try adjusting it. For example, Are you eating toast first thing every morning? Gluten might be a bloat trigger for you. Milk or other dairy? Try cutting it out for a few days and see if you feel better. Mine is sodium. I love salt and all sodium filled foods, but dang it makes my stomach…

Taco Bell - Nacho Bell Grande Meal (Nachos and a taco and a Large Diet Coke) - So many calories. So much awesome.

Commenting to follow--- I'm almost 5'8", and 157 pounds, and let me say, it doesn't look good on me. I'm not one of those girls that weight evenly distributes on. I'm small boned, and very pear shaped so I have huge thighs, love handles, and a very lumpy stomach. I look semi-decent with clothes on, but I haven't put on a…

I worked retail through college, full-time, so I was running around a store 8 hours a day, plus walking to campus and classes. I graduated, got a desk job, and gained 20 lbs. Eek. I wasn't prepared to gain weight, because I always thought I had an awesome metabolism. Turns out, I had a normal metabolism, and a super active…

This post makes me so happy! I''m 5'8'' and just started using MFP last week. I weigh 150lbs, but I'm small framed so I should weigh 125ish. I don't think I've weighed that since like junior high, but I'm working on it! Dieting is easy for me, it's the working out that sucks! I'm kinda just taking it one pound at a time.…
