After I got to my goal weight, I started doing less in terms of fitness and viola, the weight came on! Not too much, but enough to make me realize how important it is to keep the same schedule. I eventually felt like my regimen wasn't maintainable over the long term so I have to be content with the weight my body being…

Here are some things that work for me when I don't have many cals to work with, adapted for you: 1. pack and prepare fruit and veggie snacks -put three oranges or apples in your bag -cut 3 stalks of celery into 3-4 sections of sticks and put 2 Tbsp. PB in a small container. -always have a bag of unsalted roasted almonds…

Thanks for the comments and feedback everyone! Context is huge but to save length I didn't go into each possible scenario. So let's say one day I earn 400 calories from running or cardio. Then I eat four extra snacks, each around 100 cals each in between meals or together because I have the extra time and then think, "It's…

I mix it with taco seasoned ground beef, salsa, frozen corn and stuff peppers with it. So yummy!

You look so great and healthy! Your journey must have been long and hard! Great job! Not to be nosy, but could you tell me how much you weigh now and how tall you are? I just have about 10-15 pounds to go to reach my healthy goal but want to get an idea of what things'll be like. How did you maintain? Did you end up eating…

Thanks for that!!

True! I noticed that my endurance has really improved. I'll weigh-in tomorrow so we'll see if anything was lost. If I lose 2-ish then I'll stick with it until rest is gone but if only 1 or less...I might go back the cardio/strength training I was doing before. I also wonder if the body's response, weight-loss wise, depends…

Uhm, I tooooootally agree!! I've heard: "Don't lose it all!" "Don't lose too much!" "You look sickly" - my husband in an effort to get me to eat pizza so that he could eat some pizza. Didn't work. It's super-duper annoying because then I want to be like, "Ohhh, okay. I'll eat that donut." I know it's hard to see change but…

Reading your story felt like mine right now. I had my son last February and started MFP and really tracking late last February, a year after having him. I've already lost more than I would doing a diet without the tracking!! It feels so good to know I can get to my goal for real! I have about 20 more pounds at the least,…

So there's nothing that quite satisfies the same as real chocolate for sure. But!...there are good alternatives and you can beat those cravings! I would say you should buy a few large bars of good quality dark chocolate, one that breaks into small pieces or bars or even is prewrapped. Try this brand:…

Ha ha, thanks!! Yours is such a heart-breaker!! I like to think I'm the first lady my son loved :) Right, I'm so glad I had the ounce premeasured in a bag 'cause it made it so easy! Not sure I would have made it if I had to go into the large bag and eat only one serving, lol.

After I changed my goal my cal per day went to 1200 a day. So here's my day usually: Bfast: 2 egg whites, a whole grapefruit and 2 tbsp of agave in my green tea Snack: 1 oz. almonds Lunch: 2 cups of cabbage soup (100 cals!). It's so filling, tastes great, is cheap to make and has hardly no cals. Snack: medium apple Dinner:…

Have you been eating the exact same things (or pretty close to it) and doing the same exercises? Sometimes your body gets so used to the same routine that it stops the loss and regulates itself. Just a thought! Try to switch up your meals, eating under your calorie budget like you have been but eat different veggies,…
