Hot sauce, herbs seasonings of your liking, fajita seasonings, salt & pepper ...

I'm speaking strictly from experience and I am not a license dietician or medical personal. When I gave birth , I was breastfeeding and pumping milk. I decided to lose weight and went from 215 lbs to 167 lbs in less than 4 months. I was averaging between 1800 to 2000 calories daily. My diet consisted of eating lots of…

Thank you everyone for your tips and advice. Very helpful

Have no problems adding people. Two heads are better than one when working through a problem. Great opportunity to keep motivated and exchange ideas

Well I drank sparkling water to slowly get off my soda addiction. Then I just started infusing my water with sliced fruits like clementines, strawberries etc untill I got used to the taste of water

Count your sodium intake as you getting a meal or cook at home and use measuring spoons to make sure you are within your daily intake

At hotels I usually stick to eating yogurt and fruits with a slice of bread where complimentary breakfast are concerned. You could stop by a grocery store and grab a bag of fruits like bananas or clementines that you could easily peel or get pre made salads. I've also bought corn tortilla and made a burrito with a whole…

Well I am mostly on a plant based diet as I have stomach pains when I eat too much meat but I always weight or calculate my calories intake to make sure I still lose weight. I make my meals simple. I try not to mix heavy food together like grains with meat, or legumes/avocado with grains instead I pair meat with veggies on…

Thanks for the advise everyone. Yes I spoke to my doctor before hand, and he monetors the baby carefully. there was a typo in my post. I've been averaging up to 1700 calories a day and losing 1/2 lb a week without exercising. But i wanted to aim for 1900 calories but I am afraid that I may not be losing weight and gain…

My biggest meal is lunch because it is the time I spent to most energy on and my smallest meal is dinner because I get heart burn if I eat too much

Mistakes are made to be learned from. Figure out what you overeat on, what made you overeat and improve on it

I did it last year and lost 12 lbs in 21 days no excercise. I was 170 lbs when I did it and I am 5'2. I limited my intake of grains and skipped on the nuts tho

Too much fiber and not drinking enough water may cause constipation. Other than that if nothing works, visit the doctor

Low carb veggies??

Quick lunch. A can of beans, sardine, eggs, or avocado and a bag of frozen steamable veggies or frozen rice. Another option is make your own salad. Boiled eggs, a bag of salad and homemade vinegrette or balsamic. That's of you don't have time to cook

Thanks to youtube I can pretty much make everything at home now except for Monterey chicken panini. I like the flavor from my local Jewish eatery

Don't give up, everything in life is a process. As long as you are trying and don't stop trying you're good. Eventually you will get it. Don't go cold turkey all at once. Start eliminating bad habits one step at a time. You drink too much soda? You give yourself the goal of drinking a can a day etc. Make a list of veggies,…

Honesty I would do a lot of low calories vegetables that you like, and lots of lower calories fruits as well. Protein would keep me full as well but I would opt for Avocado, hummus , Greek yogurt , eggs, ( boiled or in the form of a crustless quiche). Eat steamed plantains, potatoes, yams but in moderation. You can even…

Fruits make great snacks, Pico De Gallo, hummus/carrots, greek yogurt with Chia seeds, shredded beats in balsamic and lil bit of honey for sweetness, lettuce with guacamole etc

Fried food give me bad stomach pain

Put on my favorites songs and dance away for sometimes 2 hours. The harder I dance, the more I sweat and burn calories. It is fun and free

I've had that my whole life, and so does my sibling and mom. I do not think it has anything to do with being out of shape or obese because I was slim as a child and preteen. No matter how active I am I barely sweat but man my legs start itching badly. You should try wearing those. Long breathable running leggings that…

Yes everything you used to make it, log it.

Howdie. I'm trying to lose 30 lbs by july in order to enlist , I'm 9 lbs down and very motivated. Add me so we could exchange tips for success, motivate each other and all.

I used garbanzo flour , water and cheese/egg. Kneaded it and shaped it. Left the crust to harden for like 10 mins and added a lil bit of sauce , toppings and cheese. Came out good

Quick easy meals would be avocado, bag of lettuce and balsamic vinegrette and a fruit. If you are on the go, look for steamable potatoes/rice with steameable veggies and add herbs/ seasoning with a fruit. A can of sardine with steamable veggies with a fruit. Microwave one of those canned beans/chickpeas and eat it with a…

Opening the door for someone and they don't say thank you

Juju on that beat and a call away

Scandal, the walking dead, American horror stories , the Bing bang theory.... Slept through all of them just not my cup of tea

My quick breakfast are a cup wallaby Greek yogurt with a fruit or like 3 boiled eggs and a slice of bread, or applesauce and cottage cheese
