chicken breast, peanut butter, mixed vegetables.

The first time i was shocked about how many calories were in things was when i first started my fitness journey and learned what a calorie WAS and how many i was actually consuming in a day (fast food, candy bars, energy drinks almost every day, sodas, pasta, basically whatever tasted good) so when i started reading labels…

Pre log your meals and snacks! Thats what I do, then you know what you're going to need in order to fill your nutritional needs and stay within your calorie goal, versus just logging as you go and hoping you eat the right things and stay within your goal. I noticed that some days I actually log way more than I need to eat…

oh my goodness! that must have taken A LOT of hard work and dedication! you look so amazing girl, you're gorgeous! I like your septum btw, i wish i had the balls to get mine peirced! :)

I am also 5'11". I have already reached my goal of 145 pounds, and am now just trying to tone up. feel free to add me!

You can't lose weight without trying. It's gonna be hard, it IS hard. But it is SO rewarding when you reach your goal(s)! I never ever regret a workout or a "good" day nutrition-wise. My advice to you- find something you like. find a workout or exercise plan that you enjoy and can look forward to! There is so much out…

I do not. Actually, when I log an exercise, I ALWAYS put 1 calorie burned, whether I worked out for 1 minute or 2 hours.

There really isnt a cereal that I dont like, and this post made me really hungry. But if I had to chose one for any reason, it would be Cheerios, because cheerio burps taste horrible. :(((

About 3 months. My family started saying I looked great, and then people started commenting on photos of me online giving me compliments.

I wonder this all the time. I hate it when people tell me I am too skinny, or I need to eat more. OR If we are eating out and I only get salad or something from the "healthy" menu and I get made fun of. -__- But if I ate unhealthy and ate the things I WANT to eat, I would be overweight/obese and I would get told that I…

Protein bars Sensible Portions Veggie Straws Turkey breast Flat bread Fat free cheese Canned chicken breast 100 calorie popcorn Trail Mix And some sort of fruit/dip snacks that i find near the fruits and veggies.

Yeah

Ketchup, honey mustard or hot sauce.

Down to the middle of my back, dark brown on top, a light pink layer, then a bleached blonde layer. Kinda like neapolitan ice cream. & its straight with layers.. :)

MFP tends to overestimate our calories burned, so I would either only put yourself in for HALF the calories burned (that MFP gives you) OR only eat back half of what you supposbly burned.

I cant even do one pushup.. can i have my own challenge? Lol

You look AWESOME! Keep up the good work!

For over a year I have had had nothing to drink but water. Except the occasional iced coffee or cappucino, like while I was in the hospital after I had my son. & Sometimes I drink the milk from my cereal bowl. But other than that, nothing but water!! About 8 cups a day.

I dont accurately log my exercise. I give myself 1-5 calories burned each time I work out, because I don't like to eat back my calories that I burn. Yes, I measure my foods and I dont drink anything but water, and I log that as well.

Try Fitness Blender videos. There are so many on YouTube and there are some really good kickboxing ones. They're easy enough but a great workout and they even usually have a rough estimate of how many calories you're burning on the screen.

I only have a one month old, so definitely not THREE kids! You must be super busy. Are they all old enough to work out WITH you?? Make it fun, something they would enjoy, play the wii, go for a walk/jog, do yoga with them (it would be cute!), play outside! Orrrr do what I do, and work out when the kids are napping. I put…

They don't make "sport" brand pads & tampons for nothin! :)) I think you will regret NOT working out if you skip it just because your on your period. Sometimes for me, I bloat for a week and gain like a pound, then drop a few pounds randomly when the week is up! I like to think the fact that I keep exercising the whole…

I have the same problem girl! I used to have bad love handles, then lost them by eating at a deficit and doing a combination of cardio and strength workouts. Then I got pregnant, and now my abs are gone and I have my big chubby sides back :p my actually BELLY is nice and flat again, I just look wide & too curvy. I have…

I used to check in almost every day since I worked in a medical facility and had access to scales and everything. But now that Im a stay at home mom I just get weighed when I have postpartum checkups, but i take measurements every Monday as part of a fitness group I am part of.

I do a lot of things that I find on YouTube. Have you done Dance Fitness with Jessica? She has some really fun dance workouts. There are also TONS of workouts from FitnessBlender! Look them up on YouTube as well. I also find P90X to be a very fun challenge. You could always try that too.

When I first got pregnant I was the same way. STARVING and no energy/too sick to exercise. I would wake up hungry every couple of hours during the night so what I did was keep a jar of peanut butter and some plastic spoons beside my bed, I also kept some granola bars on my night stand too. If you're worried about your…

I just had my first baby a little over a month ago. When I got pregnant I was 125/128 pounds (my weight was fluctuating), I am 5'11" tall so I was very underweight for my height, probably because I hardly ate and was extremely active. So when I got pregnant and started eating a little more, my weight shot up. I gained a…

A doctor advised you to go as low as 800? 1200 is the safe minimum for weight loss, and even then thats kinda starving yourself. Sounds like you're already healthy anyways. If anything, I wouldnt go as low as 1200.

How far along are you? I was like that until my second trimester. I was VERY sick and extremely tired. I actually got so lazy that I kept bags of chips, and granola bars and things to eat right beside my bed because I didnt wanna go all the way to my kitchen to eat. I also didnt like to shower either, because I would get…

5'11" here!
