5'7" I wanna be like 160.

http://www.thecookingjar.com/idaho-sunrise/ a recipe that i put into mfp earlier.

i take a feverfew tablet every day and my migraines have waned (i have been hospitalized for them, so i know how you feel!). i also think that my diet and exercise lifestyle change has helped tons. peppermint tea, too!

baked with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon or mashed with the same (i add a little milk) and my boyfriend's favorite: sweet potato fries (this recipe is from the tumblr undressedskeleton): -Peel two large sweet potatoes. -Slice sweet potatoes into VERY thin slices. -Add the sweet potato to a large bowl and microwave for…

setting a time limit isn't the greatest thing. instead of losing as much weight as quickly as possible, slow and steady tends to be the way to keep weight off and in a healthy way. your calorie intake should really be based on your height, weight, and activity level. but it's okay to experiment and figure out what works…

listen to your body. just make good choices. if you're hungry and over your limit, eat something that will satisfy and be low in calories so you're not over by much. but my mantra is to always always always listen to my body!.

while i have not been officially diagnosed with anything, i am definitely working on my issues with food...because the relationship had been unhealthy since i can remember. i have binged, purged, starved...you name it. we can do this.

bravo!!!!!

i live in a studio apartment, so when i work out at home (i have a gym membership), it's usually some youtube workouts (blogilates or popsugar fitness typically) and my yoga mat. i also have some dumbbells.

a handful of dried fruit (i like trader joe's golden berry blend). it gives you sugar and carbs that burn off and doesn't take a ton of time to digest so you can eat it and then head out the door. be sure to eat when you're done though!

26. no babies (yet).

my first 5k was a color run. it's not timed. there are walkers. there are runners. but there's also a lot of hold up at the color stations because people are having fun and getting all colorful. that's a good place to get your breaks in. you can absolutely do this. i started around 250. be sure to train for it, but also…

26 and log nearly every day! hello!

when i lost my initial weight, i went down a band size and up a cup size (from 40DD to 38DDD). it happens. i'm back on track now and i can feel them shrinking. i guess it's just part of the process.

same thing is happening to me! adding you now.

26. hello!

my aunt has diabetes. angel food cake is like, the best dessert for her because it's low(er) in sugar. i did a quick google and there are TONS of recipes. (i am sure of this because she is in a rehab facility right now for some injuries and the dietetic restrictions are closely monitored--angel food cake is like, the most…

i am by no means an expert or a doctor, but i was diagnosed as pre-diabetic about 6 years ago and once i changed my lifestyle (about 3 years ago) i am no longer pre-diabetic. my doctor ordered bloodwork on this, so I would recommend gettin that test done if you haven't already, this way you know for sure. i eat fruit, i…

this is one of my favorites (sweet potato breakfast hash) had it this morning! http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/10/brussels-sprouts-breakfast-hash-for-dinner/#_a5y_p=1159142 and i made this for thanksgiving (brown sugar balsamic sprouts with bacon)…

i'm getting my masters in education, so i get it. this is something i still struggle with. a little something i do that is still food-based is buy the mini chocolate peanut butter cups from trader joe's and you can eat like 27 of them as a serving and they're still less calories than a reese's. i often eat less than that…

yes! especially if i packed lunch or snacks for work ahead of time.

just got back from TJ's! i love their frozen tilapia filets baby spinach kale sweet potatoes cut fruit (mangoes, pineapple, cantaloupe) berries reduced guilt greek yogurt spinach and kale dip organic boneless skinless chicken breasts sparkling water (i love the orange one, great for cocktails as well) pomegranate vinegar…

This right here is why you're not losing weight. Eat more of the good stuff and you should see your metabolism speed up again.

When I'm in a major studying mode I like to cut up some fruit or veg and just munch away. other options: apples with some cheddar (watch the portions), popcorn, sunflower seeds...and be sure to drink a lot of water in between munching, that way you have some time to know when you're full or not.

i'm on prozac and have been for about 2 years. thanks to the counseling and being able to focus on my mental and physical health, i lost a bunch of weight through eating healthy and exercising (i gained it back only when i lost track of my diet, the pills had no influence). try to make sure you get the smallest dosage…
