Thank so much for the help! :) I honestly didn't even think of looking up a program..

I haven't completely cut it out, but I have restricted it quite a bit. For me, its not because of the calories or anything in the alcohol, but because when I'm drunk I always come home and binge eat... so until I get that on lock, I don't get drunk.

Never though of it this way... guilty of requesting motivation (on this site)! So true and well said.

I find that my weight fluctuates a lot around my period - I'm not sure how long before/after it starts and stays but I'm pretty sure its more like 3 days rather than 9, but everyone is different. Possibly increased water intake or increased/decrease in activity? I find that when I start working out after a long break I…

I used to never eat breakfast but now its my favorite meal! I love eggs as well so I will have an egg and toast with a piece of fruit for breakfast about 3 times a week ( I try not to do more) Another favorite of mine is overnight oats!! There are so many options online if you google it, and they keep me full for hours.…

All I want is for this thread to stop being the first thread in the weight loss help section... :sad:

Great idea!!

I'm a vegetarian so therefore I am biased so I won't get into why I won't eat meat/limit dairy. I completely made it sound like I'm against protein though - I looked at my diary and saw I do need more proteins/healthy fats/complex carbs, and you all helped bring light to that so thank you! I just meant that I dont like to…

Thank you! I didnt even realize that I have been eating white instead of whole wheat, thats probably contributing. Also, I feel dumb... I had set my calorie goal based on memory of BMR before but I recalculated it and I should be eating atleast 100 cals more (BMR is ~1450 not 1350)

Google "Skinnytaste Mediterannean Quinoa", its really light and fresh tasting while still being satisfying. I make it all the time! For something more substantial I make 1 cup of quinoa (turns into 3 cups), dress the quinoa in a dressing of honey, lemon, and olive oil (1 tbsp olive oil, equal parts honey and lemon, I use 2…

And another addition - should I be eating closer to the time that I wake up rather than having coffee right away and having breakfast later on in the morning? Should I focus on smaller meals more often or larger meals less often? Haha I just don't know!

Perhaps more nuts? Beans?

*edited this because I worded it all wrong*

Well these people are clearly posting these because they need help.. therefor many people may not know what information is important to add because they are just new to this. We should all be here willing to help one another, and not get exasperated every time someone doesn't know what they're doing.

Whoops forgot to mention this! I have set it to CUSTOM, eating right in between TDEE and BMR. 5'3" and eating 1350 to 1450

lol "super clean foods like rice and chicken" Everything else, I TOTALLY AGREE and well said, someone needed to say it FINALLY. But rice and chicken being clean.... chicken? God no

please!

What she said!

Perhaps puree some raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, or some other sort of fruit? And a sprinkle of powdered sugar to sweeten? :)

Holy **** you look amazing! Im 5 3 and I am to be anywhere from 115 to 125. I was pretty happy when I was 122, but I will know when to stop when I am happy. Probably going to try (succeed) to get down to 120 then mainly focus on toning, which may put on muscle weight! Like everyone says, were all different. I have a medium…
