What about tuna salad? I like to spice mine up: 1 can chunk light tuna in water 1 tbsp light Miracle Wip 1 tbsp yellow mustard Sprinkle Old Bay spice Cut up tomato into tiny pieces Cut up Banana peppers 1 tsp sweet relish I bring 6 Triscuits to dip into the tuna salad. Entire meal runs about 290 cal, with about 20 g…

I too do the small plate thing. I also used to make meals in bulk and eat a litte every day, but I have changed this habit. For example, today I made a single serve very healthy slice of meatloaf, instant 80 calorie mashed potatoes and a 6 oz can of green beans (I know the tatoes are a simple card, but it was prior to…

Okay, calm down and relax...first off, do not confuse your weight with your self worth. You are a young, vibrant person who is more than just a number. You will get to where you want to be, but remember that it will not happen over night. It seems from your post that you may be obsessing a little over your weight, and it…

I always eat the same thing for breakfast, but that's about it. I pack my lunch to work, and if I'm running late, I get subway (6 in turkey, no cheese). That way I at least stay on track throughout the day. Dinner at home is usually where I go overboard and off the wagon! That's all about to change tho...my boyfriend…

Sadly, my skin was better when I was 20 lbs thinner!!

I fluctuate about 2-3 lbs, mostly due to my water intake that day and/or eating foods high in sodium (I weigh less on high water days, and more on low sodium days). Drinking enough water has a major influence on my body.

Welcome to MFP! I read your post, and actaully, depending on what type of bc pills you are on, you really shouldn't gain any more than the initial 5 lbs that some people gain due to water weight. The depo shot is the only proven bc method to truly cause weight gain (according to my gyno). As far as eating when you feel…

Why don't uyou try balancing out your chicken sand salad with a whole grain, such as brown rice? I actaully like to add half a cup of brown rice to my salad and mix it in.

You can do it girl!!!

Casein protein is a great snack to have before hitting the sack. These are proteins derived from dairy, and it takes a while for your body to digest, so you stay a little fuller longer. I like to drink mine half frozen, as it tastes more like a milkshake:)

One of the healthiest proteins is canned tuna. You ge a lot of bang for a small calorie intake (about 100 cal per can), and about $.60 a can at Wal-Mart. Also, egg whites and oatmeal are an inexpensive, healthy way to start your day (average egg white has 17 cal and 3.5 grams of protein). Don't buy the instant oats, as…

You can definitely see a difference!! Your face and midsection especially...Congrats!!
