I have two BentoGo's from amazon and I love them! I out my main course in the lower, largest section. Then my fruits/veggie soup/etc go in the top! I find it easiest if I group things by how/if they need to be reheated.

What about like a Shepard pie with seasoned Lentils Instead of meat?

I treat Mexican restaurants as a treat. I cut out calories earlier in the day/week to make room for what I really want to eat (Pork Chili Verde) with corn tortillas - no cheese - no sour cream - but add guac/lettuce/pico! Add a bud light lime and you're good to go!

I go to a class that I really love. I had some videos, but found myself not really giving it my all.....and my dogs barked at me :)

Day 1: under calories and 8500 steps! Day 2: under calories, over 10,000 steps and a 45 min Zumba session. Bring on day three!!!

Thank you! I agree that with us doing it together it will be better. I've worked on my health myself, but it's hard when my husband isn't participating and wants pizza on the weekends!

Thanks for the note. I ordered a Sunny machine after reading reviews. When I was going to the gym, I really liked the elliptical there, so I'm anxious to get one at home. I'm hoping that with counting my calories and making sure to get to working out at least 30 min every day, that I will start to see results!

What a great idea! I'm signing up for a class right now!!

I'm so excited about this thread. I's 5'2" and worked really hard last year to get to 128, but seriously slipped and now I am at my heaviest ever at 143. I'm so disappointed in myself. I'm ready to really hit it again and work to stay at my 1200/day calorie goal. My initial goal was 115 - which would be great - but now I…

I have a vanilla plant-based protein that I mix with coffee and ice in the morning for breakfast. It's delicious and feels like a decadent treat. I'm finding it keeps me happy until lunch time.

Thank you! I appreciate the advice!

Are you doing any kinds of strength training exercises? Did you experience a huge weight loss to get where you are? My first thought is that strength training would help to burn the fat - you'll gain weight - but the muscle would look great.

If anybody is looking for a supprt buddy - I'm looking for more MFP friends!

I'm proud of you for realizing what makes you feel your best and that the number on the scale needs to be a little higher to achieve that. Congrats!

I'm 5'2" and I was 133 last week at weigh in. My goal weight is somewhere around 115-120 for my frame. I'm pear shaped and wear a size 6 or 8 petite in pants and XS-S top. I can fit into a smaller size pant, but they don't really fit me as well. I've learned that as much as I *want* to be a size 4 and can get those pants…

I love Zumba! I have a studio that I go to and they have 3-4 classes a day at varying levels. I've just started, so I don't know any of the dances, but I went 5 times last week and am hooked! I get a great cardio workout and am a sweaty mess by the end of class - but what surprises me the most is how I can feel it in my…

I went shopping last night because all of my summer clothes are snug. I've spent the last few years in denial that I had gained weight and just kept buying the same size and let them all just be tight. Last night I was determined to find something that fit me now, even though I am working to lose weight and ended up having…

Sorry! I couldn't figure out how to continue to edit my original post!

I try to combat this in general by bringing a fruit/veggie tray whenever we have these events at work and otherwise. That way I know that I will always have something to eat that won't break my calorie bank. We're also pretty big on having donuts in the office at least once a week. Usually by the time I get to peeking in…

I have a very low calorie goal for the day in order to lose any weight - but I set myself up for success early in the day by mentally planning what I am going to eat the rest of the day so that I can have a 'treat' if I want it. I keep good snacks on hand ( I love Kind bars) just in case I am starving between meals.…

Hello! I'm going to turn 30 in February and would really like to lose 20 lbs by then! I am 5'2" and currently 134 lbs, which is the heaviest I've ever been. Please add me! Motivation is needed since my husband loves pizza and junkfood weekends!
