Add in some vitamin C, a good B complex and fish oil, maybe some fiber supplement. Maybe look into lean proteins to eat so you feel more full. chicken, cottage cheese, almonds, salmon... I am like you, I want to eat everything sometimes it's a challenge to not do it. We all want the weight to go away quickly, but it's…

Wow thank you for all that info! I will defo check out the sets and suits. And if my HRM can go under water... I like swimming but I hate cold water and I'm a total surf shorts and tank at the beach kinda girl. No ocean for me! I did P90x and really loved it. I didn't finish the program but it was a lot of fun and I did…

it could get easier as you get older and your social circle becomes less shallow. http://www.mybodygallery.com/ this website is cool - pics of real women at all kinds of sizes. put in your height and weight to see other chicks who are the same as you and you can see what other people see. Whether you're satisfied with that…

I have gone through this!!! I used to be a size 18 and I am now a size 4 and have been for about two years. It has taken me the past year to get confortable wit myself. Seeking a counselor is a good idea if your regular support system is not helping (friends/family/partners). It's very common. I remember not hating myself…

When I see people walking their dogs, I often say hi to the dog and totally ignore the owner. nothing personal, but dogs are cute.

From what I understand the weight gain associated with birth control is related to the hormones. Mirena is the IUD with hormones. There is one without hormones. It is called ParaGard (Sorry if someone already said all of this, There were a lot of responses to sift through. I've been on more variations of birth control than…

I have less cravings for sweets when I get enough good protein and drink enough water. Usually if I want sweets it's because I'm actually thirsty, or PMSing (let's be real here). Maybe check if you are eating enough? http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ <-- I love this thing and it's a long journey so don't deny…

I <3 the P90x workouts cardioX and kenpoX! I think you can find them on youtube or something also, doing things like squats and lunges will get your heart rate up too and is good for calorie burn since it uses your quads. jumping jacks and even just jogging in place are good too.

either cover it in panko and bake or rub it all down with olive oil and spice it to death with Bay seasoning, dill, some salt, pepper, more dill and some more dill. Red chili flakes if you like it spicy. Bake! add some lemon juice if you like.

How Much Should I Be eating???? http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Scooby has helpful info. as for easier? idk one day at a time.

stress is it for me too. I don't deal with it very well but I am very good at eating a whole lot of food.

I also suffer from anxiety and depression. My weight loss and health journey has been long and is ongoing and is rarely consistant. It is true that eating healthier, exercising regularly (like 20-30 mins of areobic exercise a few days a week) help with depression and anxiety. I have found that regular sleep patterns and…

Nothing. Celery is an abomination. Theres a billion other veggies out there. Bell peppers Cucumbers Lettuce Green beans Carrots Squash/zucchini Broccoli Tomatoes Cauliflower (also gross but some people like it) Mushrooms (bursting with vitamin D!) Eggplant Peas Asparagus Artichokes Beets Kale & brussel sprouts & corn I…

Yo. I eat like this, sort of. Based on what PG58 said it makes sense for me! I get all wonky if I go without food for hours! When I'm doing well, I usually eat 3 small meals, 2 small snacks and dinner which i aim for less than 500 cals. Everyone else is right thought that as long as you're within your calories & macros…

LOL @ Scientology. Sorry about your job tho. That sucks.

Yes. How sick do I have to be to call in? Unable to get out of bed. OR "I cannot face the world today" OR "Wow my throat is so SWOLL!! I'm probably going to get more sick if I sit at my desk all day..." We only get like 4 sick days a year though. New employees don't get sick days at all! (I've been here for yearrrrsss)…

Wow. I had to Google the Pro-Mia thing. How scary! I've also had eating disorder issues. I feel like I'm just too old to be all crazy like that and it's not healthy. This site has really helped me learn what is good for me. Eating properly. I also get freaked out when I see people posting that they are going to eat 600…

eating! j/k (not really) I donno, maybe rollerblading. I <3 skating.

This sounds amaze! I also add in curry powder to my rice when I cook it. Have not tried veg stock though. Gotta try it!

if you're hungry, eat them! I find that when I eat something carb-y at night I am more hungry in the morning so i try to eat protein snacks at night; nuts, eggs, cheese n crackers... I also don't think the "no eating after 9" etc makes sense. It's hard to sleep when you're starving! as long as you're meeting your calorie…

I haven't had cable since I lived with my parents. (about 10 years) I has the INTERWEBS! and Netflix (on the interwebs) You CAN get the network channels on your TV for free. If I want to watch football (soccer) I stream it from somewhere or go to a pub. xD

I work hard with a gun in my back for a bowl of rice a day.

In total I've lost about 50 but it's been over a long time going in periods of loss and no loss. I'm 5'1" cw: 128 hw: 178 I don't have any pics on here - I should really put some up! 50lbs by August seems fast BUT honestly any loss is progress Just stick with it and you'll get to your goal.

so... you take your coffee black with sugar? I ask b/c I stopped adding sugar but I use soy milk - which is sweetened. From what I understand agave is supposed to be a good alternative. I used it for a while but I like a lot of it so I just stick with soymilk to level out calories. I tried the Stevia stuff a while back in…

hahaha! Nerd! I mean... what?

Hah. yeah - some days "I'm here for my punishment" Or "I'm going to go earn my dinner."

OMG yes! hahahaaa I actually hadn't thought of it that way until I typed it out for this post. Luckily it's usually just between my bf and me.

lmao! IMMA GET SWOLL!!!

I have heard of that - might look into it for the summer. I'm far to chicken to workout outside in the cold!

haha! I <3 the pun. wouldn't it be G. Y. M. though?
