eat before you go and have a glass of wine. i often go out to eat and don't actually eat anything. i'll drink my dinner, have a coffee, or dessert.

i've been doing this for a long time and i'm finally at the point where i don't want to kill myself trying to lose weight. i'd go all in with the diet, exercise at the gym, etc. i'd lose the weight but crash and burn after 6 months. this time i'm doing it slow and steady. it's been 4 months and i've lost 12 lbs. that's not…

i took a look at your diary and it seems like you've only been doing this for a few weeks. losing weight takes TIME and this is a lifelong effort. the reason we all gain and lose weight inconsistently is because we go too extreme and can't sustain it forever. that said, what i've found this time around is that the weight…

i used to use livestrong/the daily plate and there was a forum called "5'2" and under." :)
