  • BEEF JERKY. High in protein, low in sugar. yummmmmm I've just bought steak strips though. While they are a great source of protein… They are quite high in sugar...
  • I agree. I'm only 1" taller and although I'm quite big boned (broad shoulders and hips) and relatively fit (regularly horse ride and cycle) anything less than 140lb makes me look emaciated! When i was younger (post kids but before middle age spread LoL) i got down to 135lb and was nagged by my husband and mother to put…
  • Everybody's goals and bodies are different. I am still in a healthy weight range and want to lose a few more pounds. I have my own goals, I share them with my general doctor, and I know what my body looks like and how I want it to look.
  • Congrats to you! If you want to tone your stomach (and I am assuming keep your current weight) then my advice to you would be to decrease body fat percentage. Basically just decrease your body fat and increase your muscle. You won't be able to see your abs and toned stomach unless you get rid of extra fat. What I am doing…
  • Keep in mind though, while I have been eating probably a little lower than I should have been, I HAVE been really working hard, biking, swimming, running, for about an hour and a half a day, sometimes less, sometimes even 2 hours. I have been putting in the hard work.
  • Thanks for your input. i don't know much about water weight. So a 5'6" female like me, at around 120 pounds... How much do you believe my water weight could fluctuate in pounds? 1? 2? 3?
  • Seriously... 2200 calories a day isnt a binge. It is like 600 cals over. To add on, the days that I did go over, I did not "fail" and crave and eat sweets. I ate healthy foods. Those would be the days that I didn't have school, wasn't working, and had nothing to do all day.
  • First of all, kudos to you for reaching your goal weight! I don't know what you are eating, but you can most definitely be getting hungry way more if you are eating junk food. Make sure you still eat healthy! and drinking enough fluids (water especially) to fill you up. These could be the only reasons I can think of that…
  • Thanks for your feedback! I have been eating to satisfaction. If I eat healthy, then I find myself craving less and full quicker. It hasn't consistently been 1000cals a day. A mix between 900, 1000, 2250
  • Whatever salad you make, make sure you have protein in there. The fiber you will get from veggies is great but you need that protein. Caesar salad with chicken fruit salad maybe for mornings house salad with ham and roast beef some kind of mexican salad that has beans in it, with corn egg salad you really can make anything…
  • If i don't eat breakfast, then I feel so weak throughout the day. But I also don't get hungry until later in the day. So I am probably like you. So what I do is sometimes i will just have an egg, which is like 100 calories. And then I have enough energy to get through until later in the day. Try that. Or have one of those…
