  • I love all things nut butter and would totally do nutella if I could have milk. I buy the single serve packets of Justin's chocolate hazelnut butter for when I want something that tastes like it. The stats are comparable to other nut butters.
  • 5'0 SW: 150 CW: 126 GW: 118 I've got inflammatory arthritis in the hips so only do low-impact cardio, walking and yoga for my exercise routine. Diet is mostly fish, veggies, and low carbs in the. It's taken a few years to lose and keep it off - I'd like to get down to between 115-118. The weight tends to come off more…
  • If you bite it, write it.
  • It took me a few years to really understand that sustained success really did mean a lifestyle change. I used to get to the weekends and "go off" my diet. I did the same whenever I traveled, once I reached my original goal, and in the time between thanksgiving and christmas. It was only after I saw the weight creep back on…
  • Popcorn. I eat the earth balance brand - sometimes with a tbsp butter, sprinkle of salt, and a little agave to make it like kettle corn. 3.5 cups comes in at 130 before the add-ons and it's pretty filling.
  • Daily logging. It keeps me accountable and is my tool for meal planning on a weekly/daily basis. I lost and regained with WW in th east and I think one reason I failed is because I stopped logging when I hit lifetime.
  • I have a similar shape and follow this diet as well. Oats in the AM, some carbs for lunch, but most meals built around protein and veggies. It goes a long way towards keeping bloat down and the belly flat. Also, I do a lot of low-impact cardio and yoga 4-6x week to strengthen my muscles.
  • I started at 150 and had an original goal of 128 (a leftover from my lifetime goal with WW). I've made it down to 122 and think that 118 is a better target. I am 5'0.
  • What about edamame -- the roasted, crunchy kind as opposed to steamed in pods. Great to carry around as a snack and little packs (Seapoint Farms, I think) have something like 14 grams for only 140 calories.
