The worst part is feeling so hungry during a class. I don't know about you guys, but the things they sell in our vending machines are horrendous...

Yeah, definitely doesn't work that way. Your body and metabolism resets every 24 hours. [:

Was this the Micheal Thurmann or whatever? Yeah, my mom decided to try that one on me when I was about 12, seeing egg whites and oatmeal on a plate as a twelve year old made me cry. I'd say the worst diet I ever had was in the seventh through ninth grade, never ate anything until dinner, which was of course fattening and…

Treat yourself sometimes! If you're working hard and staying on track other than a cookie and a glass of milk every few weeks it isn't going to set you back that much and you'll be less likely to binge. [: Usually if I want something sweet (My big cravings are warm cinnamon rolls in the morning when my mom bakes them) I'll…

I wish I could help. I feel the same way. I haven't been diagnosed, but I definitely share the distorted view and want to be a lower weight than what's healthy and happy for my body (What it is now...) and the bad relationship with food. It's a monster. If you ever need to talk, know I'm here.

More like I've been screwing up for the past three weeks. Man, finals coming up has got me so stressed and EXHAUSTED. All I want is carbs and sleep. Plus my mom and I have been baking. Endless calories, endless deliciousness. But it's ok, I know that once school's out (In another three weeks) I'll get back on track,…

Oh yum, girl, Alaska Roll is my FAAAVORITE! I usually order that and just a simple rice and salmon in nori and eat about 9 pieces, I'm definitely SHOVING those last two in, though. Mmm! Then I'm full for the rest of the week [; I do wonder what on earth types of sushi leave ya'll hungry, though. Main thing is, as someone…

I have 37'' hips and I honestly don't think I'll be able to lose more than 3'' off of them, ever. I've got those child bearing hips that a kid could cartwheel out of [; Just gotta work on those three inches that are hanging on to my love handles! :X I carry my weight fairly evenly and have noticed I've lost it quite…

Every single day. It's just about the only reason I wake up anymore. And now that my numbers have haulted, I find myself stepping on and off the scale. Before I eat, after I eat, before I pee, after. Holding my cat, not holding my cat. I'm insane. I hate the stupid scale.

Keeblers Wheatable Pecan Crisps! They're not incredibly low calorie, but they can really satisfy a sweet/salty craving with just half a serving! Usually my in between meals snack is a bowl of cereal with unsweetened almond milk. I wouldn't recommend cereal with cow's milk as a snack, though, because of all of the fat.

I've used diet pills and let me be honest with you, it's not possible to keep taking those pills. They make you feel crazy, they make you think crazy. And once you stop taking them, you'll start eating again, you'll gain the weight back. Even if you do watch what you eat and exercise, those pills RUIN your metabolism...…

Why so distraught about it? My collarbones and hip bones stick out like mad, it's almost gross! But when they do pop out you'll start grabbing at them all the time, it's so weird, haha. Like a comfort blanket.

CAUGHT!

Me, me me! Was 160, now 143, working towards 125. If anyone has similar stats as me I'd love to have you as a friend! Also, I'm quite tall, almost 5'8'', which makes a world of difference and it's so hard to find taller girls on this site. n.n'

We're supposed to eat back our calories? WHAT? EW!

I definitely empathize. It happens to people of all shapes and sizes, it's a hard road, but try to be proud of yourself, you've made an amazing accomplishment!

I agree, breakfast should be your main meal, but I don't see a problem with not eating as soon as you wake up though. Make sure your first meal has enough protein and fiber to keep you from starving later on at night! [:

Deficit is basically "negative". Your body uses a certain amount of calories each day to function (You can find that number by calculating your BMR, you can google a few sites that'll give it to you) Say your BMR is 2,400 calories a day, if you eat 2,000 calories You have a deficit of 400 calories. Does that help? It's…

http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/beforeandafter In case you're interested in her, she has some really tremendous tips, information and inspiration. [:

Well, I don't know if this would help, but I follow this girls blog. She started losing weight at three hundred odd pounds, and now when you look at her at about 114 pounds, you would never know. I'm sure she had the apron back then, now all she has is washboard abs. You'll get there babygirl [;

If you're losing inches you're definitely losing fat! All that exercise is helping you to gain muscle, which is more dense than fat. Sounds like you're doing good [:

I did mine after about fifteen pounds, it was a pretty big change. (About one inch per five pounds.) I wouldn't do it more than once a month because of human error, but go wild, I suppose!

it's very fresh and healthy food! enjoy [:

I actually set my calorie goal myself. (I think MFP tends to be a little cushy since there's probably a ton of liability if anyone ever became malnourished or sick) I find my BMR, basal metabolic rate, essentially how many calories you'd burn being a vegetable all day (You can google BMR and it'll take you to a site to…

Baby girl i'm going through just about the same thing, except my family isn't worried about the cost as much as they are jealous... It's so hard not to have support from the people that are closest to you, I know. But MFP (And Tumblr) have an amazing web of people that will be incredibly supportive. I was always a 'big…

i always crave pizza. but a full cup of egg beaters? that's a load!

Definitely. I have very pale skin and I can see veins on my inner wrists, hips and legs. They're blue! It's so odd, but a bit decorational. [:

:]

Actually, changing up your net intake (Say, Mon 1200, Tues 1300, Weds, 1100, Thurs 1500...) can wake your metabolism up. I think as long as you avoid as much high fat, sodium and generally processed foods, you shouldn't worry about being too exact. And remember, if you find yourself in a rut, change what and how much of…

such a big difference! so proud of you!!
