I am basically in the same boat as you. Last few years just been doing whatever I feel like and really though...there is something so comforting in doing that. Life really is about being happy. But... I'm not so comfortable these days and my body shape has changed a lot! I was a similar weight a few years ago but I'm so…

Oh yeah the India Fare Packets I think are a good deal too, you can pair them with rice. I believe the packages are about a dollar?

Greek yogurt. Trail mix. Cereal. Milk. OJ.Hummus...sometimes the cheese is a good deal especially the crumbly kinds like feta or blue cheese.Those things are kinda cheap there. There's a couple of frozen foods that I really like from TJ's like the polenta provencale, it's polenta bits with spinach in a creamy tomato…

Mmmaaayyybbbeee....

Wow.

Haters!

A friend of mine is doing something called the RICE diet.She lost 8 lbs the first week.Personally it's not something I would do.But I think it's better than not eating.I also know someone who is doing Medfast and has lost 25 lbs this month.I just think there can be something else you might want to consider before fasting…

AwWw, congratulations! Happy for you!

At least ten!Crossing fingers, but also working at it too!

You need to eat more!Your body is suffering right now, that's why you're not losing!

Ok.I'm starting today too.Got this!Grrrrrraaahhhh!!! :-)

Oh the other snack I eat often and this is when I'm pretty hungry and need a pick me up.Toast with peanut butter,half a banana,raisins and shredded coconut.Sometimes I use almond butter instead or sprinkle cinnamon too.Mmmm.

Omega trail mix from Trader Joes,granola bars,fruit/nut bars (kind brand 150 ish calories),string cheese,yogurt,pretzel thins,Special K cracker chips,hummus and veggies,hard boiled eggs,crackers,cheese,popcorn,fruit,...that's about the extent of my snacks...I can't really think of anything else.

Yeah...I've had to make some adjustments also.1200 wasn't quite enough.I recently changed my goal to 1 lb a week instead of 2.Much less grumpy,starving and binging.Good luck!You can friend me too if you like!

To djeffreys10, Is your response based on this post alone?

Oh my gosh!That's so disrespectful!

Yeah.I think the right shoes make a huge difference.Also, you want to make sure you have the right form when running, though I'd say jog not run, personally.You can look up techniques online or get a book at the library.

Yeah...I actually think you should probably eat more than that.And it might help to learn about nutrition.You probably need more calories and nutrients.Also I think it's okay to eat what you ate for dinner sometimes just not regularly.It won't make you fat to eat like that sometimes even when you're trying to lose…

Also I think it's important to understand WHY these cravings happen.It has to do with regulating blood sugar levels and when your blood sugar drops or crashes you crave SUGAR to get it back up.Now from my understanding the way to keep it balanced is by eating small meals that are carb and protein balanced.Which is why I…

Someone gave me some advice around this SAME subject recently.She said during times when you are craving more sugar to try eating a fruit with EVERY SINGLE MEAL and SNACK until it subsides.I think this is great advice!...Also aside from that what helps me is to eat small amounts of food often.But I HAVE To BALANCE carbs…

Maybe?Hopefully though!

I think most people want to know how you did this?Maybe what your advice is? And congratulations!!!

I did that a while back.It was awful and I really did get sick.I ended up vomiting.But you live and learn,right?I would suggest just not weighing yourself for a couple of weeks,then heck.G'luck!

My only advice to you is to never ever give up on your goal.If you never give up you'll get there!Sometimes you just gotta adjust things to figure out what works for you and what doesn't!It takes time,patience and perseverance!Don't eat the cookies dude!

Yes!Sammiches!

I will be your friend :-) Hopefully we can help each other out and you could add my friends to your friends.
