  • I'm also on 1200 calories a day and my diary is open.
  • Adults that talk baby talk like "doggie" and "pannycake". People that ask how you're doing when they run into you but don't wait around for your answer. People who wear lounge clothes or pj's out and about. Seriously, you don't own real clothing or are you really just too lazy to get dressed? Or is some kind of bizarre…
  • Coffee and overnight oatmeal made with vanilla almond milk, vanilla Greek yogurt and cinnamon.
  • I use FlatOut wraps, which have 12 grams of protein. I put turkey, tomato, banana peppers and romain lettuce on it. 190 calories and very filling.
  • I'm 43 and my husband is 53. We just celebrated our 23rd anniversary. I don't think it's weird at all.
  • Hot with one packet of Truvia and one Tbls of caramel macchiatio creamer, which I log.
  • I like overnight oatmeal for breakfast. It's filling, full of calcium and protein and not too many calories. I'm on 1200 a day, too. For lunch a turkey wrap will keep me full. I usually have carrots or fruit with it. Sometimes I have string cheese with Triscuits or hummus, too. Dinner is a small helping of whatever I'm…
  • Baseball game, hiking, horseback riding (hubby and I are going to do this on Sunday!), Disneyland, weekend in Napa Valley, outdoor concert or play......
  • Pretzels, hard boiled egg, hummus with bell peppers, Laughing Cow cheese with cucumbers or celery, popcorn, string cheese wrapped in a slice of turkey, handful of semi sweet chocolate chips. I'm on 1200 calories a day, too. I may not snack throughout the day, but I always make sure I have enough calories for a bowl of…
  • Yes, every morning before I even leave the bedroom.
  • I have a bowl of popcorn around 8:00 every evening. I put a serving size in a bowl and then put the bag away. I will log this early in the day so I don't go over on calories.
  • When I'm overly tired or get too hungry I make poor food choices and tend to over eat. When I'm well rested and eating regularly I have no problem making healthy food choices and not over eating.

  • Everything in moderation........that's the number one thing I've learned in my 5 years with myfitnesspal.

  • 5:45 wake up, make bed, throw in a load of laundry, go downstairs for first cup of coffee 6:00-7:30 watch news, check social media and emails, eat breakfast, have second cup of coffee 7:30-4:30 either at work or at home doing chores or running errands 4:30-5:30 dinner prep, eat, clean up and make hubby's lunch for the next…
  • I eat dinner fairly early so I always need a snack before bed. I eat popcorn almost every evening. Sometimes an apple or small amount of dark chocolate.
  • We're going on a big road trip soon, too. I'm packing Skinny Pop popcorn, carrots, string cheese, hummus, apple mango kale squeeze pouches... Hopefully I'll get some more ideas from this thread. :)
  • 5'3 and 123 lbs. I've been maintaining at this weight without much difficulty for over 4 years now so it must be a good weight for me. I wear a size small on top and anything from a 2 to a 6 in bottoms.
  • Cafe Rio salad with shredded chicken. No dressing, extra lime, no cheese, no tortilla strips. Very filling and full of flavor.
  • Height: 5'3 CW: 118 Tops: small Jeans: 4 or 6 Dress: 2 or 4 I'm happy where I'm at. A little over a year ago my size 10 jeans were snug.
  • I have been faithful to my MFP diary for over 465 days now. It's a journey, for sure. Seeing in black and white how much I was eating was a real eye opener for me. I lost a little over 30 lbs. in about 7 months. I'm 5'3 and weigh about 121 lb now; 118 lb on a good week. lol My original goal was to just get back into my…
  • I weigh every single morning and record it once a week. It helps keep me accountable.
  • You look positively amazing!
  • I aim for at least 3 servings of veggies and 1 or 2 fruit daily. My fruits tend to be mostly apples and berries. I love grapes and pineapple, but they have a lot of sugar so I watch how much I eat.
  • I've had them since I was about 8. I'm 39 now. I have the light sensitivity, the throwing up, etc. Usually some caffeine and motrin will do the trick. If not, I take Zomig and it works well with little to no side affects. A dark, quiet room is essential while the medicine does its thing. There have been a couple of times…
  • My daughter has a nut allergy. Peanuts and cashews specifically can kill her. Neither myself nor her dad have any such allergies. Our home is not a nut free home, but she has been educated since she was old enough to talk on the dangers that nuts pose to her. She can inform anyone, but whether or not they listen or take…
  • I tried the Emerald cinnamon almonds in the 100 calorie packs for the first time yesterday and they are now my new favorite snack! So yummy! I felt like I was eating a dessert!
  • It's happened to me with fried food. Now I just stay away from it completely. As my Curves instructor says, "crap in, crap out."
  • It took me several weeks to get a handle on my sodium. I stopped tracking my sugar altogether. It was just too frustrating. I'd eat a banana and I'd be over. Here are a few of my favorite snacks: Laughing Cow cheese with carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, sugar snap peas almonds popsicles blueberries Fiber One bars and…
  • Edamame, sugar snap peas, bell peppers, blueberries, hummus, vanilla soy milk, Laughing Cow cheese.
  • I'm 5'3" and weigh 128 lbs with a body fat percentage of 29.2. I'm typically a size 8 in jeans, size 6 in pants and size 4 in skirts. I also have a pair of capri's that are a juniors size 9. Go figure.
