I have heard more people say that eating multiple meals a day helps the metabolism. Even if that is untrue, eating multiple times a day will in fact cure hunger you get between meals, and prevent you from doing something you don't want to. If you are still hungry after trying this (for about a week), try a high protein…

Salad or a fruit and Cottage Cheese

Ah.... no I was bad today... plus my foot is bothering, so I am down for a while (it's a chronic pain).

Cheese.... it's good for you, it's bad for you. If you enjoy it, and you have no issues eating it, eat it! It has high sodium and depending on the type can have high fat. The fat in dairy I consider healthy and it has protein (not much... but it has it). Plus, it also has calcium. In conclusion, cheese wont hurt you under…

You know... MOST of our bad health can be cured with a new diet. If you do NOT want to take medication, change your diet now. Obviously, you are under the idea that the level you are at is too high. Ask your doctor which foods are causing this and work on limiting these foods or eliminating them from your diet period. My…

In order 1. cottage cheese 2. milk 3. yogurt 4. oatmeal 5. strawberries 6. salad 7. canned fish 8. wheat thins 9. pork 10. chicken EDIT: Heh... eggs is pretty much on every list with yogurt "close" behind. :P

Looks likes you should probably aim for a 200 cal breakfast, 300 cal lunch and a 500 cal dinner, then the rest is left open for snacking (100-150 cals usually unless you have a lighter lunch/breakfast). Don't worry about going over a little. 1200 is a pretty low limit, so it's no fuss if you go over. :) Eat more fruits (as…

People are just lazy! Seriously... they DON'T want to exercise. Even if you ate a bunch of crappy foods and exercised(I did this accidentally when I was younger), you'd be skinny, but no one wants to do this. All I ever see is people trying to lose the weight fast, with no exercise and no "diet". Well sorry... it wont…

You look very very good! And you're pretty fine looking! Nice work! This is why I have started training both upper and lower. I am still way too high for muscle to pop out(other than in my lower legs and biceps), but I think the lifting will help burn the fat faster and by the time I am at a decent weight, I wont look…

This idea wont help the sodium levels... But I don't consume sodium much anyway... I literally only get my sodium from cheese and an occasional boxed snack. I have recently got addicted to Wheat Thins. It's not the BEST choice, no, BUT I get the dietary fiber, and it cures my want for an "unhealthy" snack. What I do is…

I do monthly shopping every month, with a stop here and there for stuff that wont make it through the month like cottage cheese and fruits. You need to SHOP around, it's called shopping for a reason. Make a list on what your family needs/consumes then spend a day or so price checking stores (within a 40 mile radius), if…

Smackin' hot girl! I don't even see how you can lose another 4% fat... but okay. :) I am 4'9, and I want to weigh around 115lb, that's more than you, but I am big butted, big breasted, and big boned, so yeah, 110lb would be the least I would WANT to be, I think if I got below that I would look anorexic. If was as active as…

True that. Maybe they mean those "Zero Calorie Sugar Packets". One thing they should realize is that a lot of things that are "zero calorie" can actually be 1-4 calories a serving, the USDA allows this to be counted as 0 though (if it's under 5). Everything adds up :)

Yeah, when I have an occasional diet soda, I don't log it. I have one maybe every 7-10 days.

Woot! Love this one! :)

Pants seem a little loose. I tried on the next size down, but I am not ready yet. Oh well, it takes time... But my butt is also slimming up :D I'll weigh myself Monday! But I weighed on Wednesday and had already lost 2lbs since this last Monday... so yeah... insane... I walk, lift weights, and eat healthy.

Eeeep! that's a lot of water!!! Too bad I just read this...it's almost bedtime :)

I get bloated right after my Aunt Flow shows up. I don't really notice anything different during the ovulation cycle other than an occasional crap... Yep... I cramp before, during, and after... I guess my aunt and I don't get along, LOL!

I wonder how you are not feeling ill with eating so little (for the amount you do). I would probably be close to fainting if not already :) I hope you start eating more. I do feel you're eating too little.

WOW!!! Nice :) I hope you're feeling okay (besides tired). Keep it up!!! :)

This makes sense... I noticed the day after I use weights, I am SOOOO hungry... :)

YUM! But I would just put on a teaspoon of regular peanut butter for that flavour... sounds GREAT though.

Your body is probably seeking stored fat to consume. If you are getting all the nutrition and meeting the macros, your body probably wont be hungry :) I ALWAYS listen to my body. If I feel hungry, I try water, if it don't go away with water, it's time for a snack. No problem. How much protein are you getting? That stopped…

Well, I'll agree with the others here. 10lbs is great! What I would do is change up something a little bit, eat like 1,500 cals a day for a week or 2, or tone down the exercise a little. Maybe your body would like a small rest. I heard great results from people who switched something around on their diet. I think you may…

This is good advice. People are not there to look and worry about other people. If someone is in a gym, they are there to workout. Do YOU stare at people when you work out? Probably not. I feel the same way though... I can't even work the weights around my Dad, lol.

I would say this is WHY you can't and some of us CAN. First month of dieting, I lost 5lbs. It's not much... BUT in 30 days, I probably ate a week's dinner/snacks worth of junk food, and I only exercised for 4 days that month. I think perhaps the only way that it's possible is not going overboard. One day, I had 2 servings…

Yeah, but this is only going to be used an excuse for people and doctors to give the OKAY on prescribing "diet" pills... No what people need is support, personal trainers, and nutritionists so people have an IDEA on how to be healthy. Some people can't afford this, so yeah... health insurance should cover this part of…

Great job! I think you looked fantastic before though!! Very hot! :)

It only matters what one thinks of oneself. I don't have an issue with it...it's their thing.. if I see something I don't like to see, I look away.

Don't know where you live, but in most places "the End of August" would pretty much start turning into wearing long sleeves anyway. Should totally have decided this like in January :) Not to mention, your arms and legs will still have a "flabbiness" to it unless you weight lifted hard core (which is not an idea to rule…
