  • Fantastic! Congrats! May I ask how long it took you? I have about 30 more lbs to lose (just starting this journey in earnest) and I'm curious. Also, what's your calorie intake? Thanks!

  • I've struggled with this, too. I'm sorry to hear youre dealing with the same issue. It can be cery hard on your self-esteem. I've found it is definitely anxiety-related and worse when I don't get enough sleep. It was really bad after the birth of my last baby. I made several weight loss attempts but, initially, dieting…

  • Congratulations! You look healthy, happy and YOUNG! I was also diagnosed with a bone bruise in my knee after training for a half marathon. I'm still not healed after 10 weeks and its really discouraging. I do ride my bike and use the elliptical. Did you have any residual knee pain after you resumed training? How is it…

  • I'll chime in, too. I love almonds and they're my go-to snack when I'm hungry. They're about 7 cal per almond, though weighing will give you a more accurate number. I also like real butter on toast. A good slather of that will certainly knock out some calories :) Good luck!

  • I'm impressed that you're trying to get healthy at such a young age, and that you recognize how junk food can really get in the way. Good for you! Can you ask your mom to buy you a bag of apples or baby carrots instead of donuts? Maybe if she knows an alternative before she spends money on the bad stuff, she'll remember to…

  • I eat 7 salted almonds. I know it seems like such a tiny amount, but between lunch and dinner when I start getting both sleepy and hungry, that little bit works wonders.

  • Thanks for sharing OP. I thought your meal looked great. We end up eating out several times a month with family or friends and its too many times to just throw caution to the wind and eat whatever I want. I wouldn't be able to stick to my goals. Plus, I'm not the kind of person who can starve all day and use my calories in…
    in Eating out wasn't that hard... Comment by desert_mom July 2013
  • I'm 5'5", starting weight of 163. I've only been on mfp for a week, but I'm down to 158. My goal weight is 125-130 (I'm fairly small boned). I'm currently out of town and without a computer so I don't know much about friending, but if you want to add me, please do. I'll add you when I get home :) I was running and doing…

  • As my calories are low at the moment (1200), I've had to find the most filling low-cal breakfasts for me. That would be 3 egg whites, 1 egg either scrambled or hard-boiled with a piece of fruit or toast. I also like rice cakes with Greek yogurt and honey on top.
