Originally from Humble, TX and the navy brought me north. I'll always be a southern girl at heart though :)

I'm down! Let's go!

Yeah Im not gunna lie, shopping can be a bear. My hubby is lactose intolerant so we're a pair haha! I'll definitely look into it. I'm trying really hard to not eat processed foods. I've pretty much been grabbing random things that I know are healthy and trying to go to town but it only gets me so far lol. My workout buddy…

Just peanuts. I love almonds and pecans and such. What kind of protein shake would you recommend? I drink total lean and the women's active shake when I have to have something on the go but if I could do something better, I'm more than happy to hear it :)

So back to my original question, does it really matter much what I eat as long as I hit my necessary calories and do my exercise routine?

I'm allergic to peanuts :(

Could grazing be an answer? Like just snack all day on healthy snacks to meet my goal?

I always thought too much bread would be bad for you? I know I got here by eatin lots of pasta and bread and so on. Like I said, if I'm wrong please provide some insight. :) I love bread too!

This is great. Thank you so much :)

Good stuff! Ill give it a try too. Thank you!

Hmmm never thought of that. Good ideas :) What if I did a little of both? Dropped crossfit and ate like 1500 calories following your tips. Do you think I'd experience better results then? I'm sorry about all the questions. I'm just thankful to be getting some answers :). Thank you!

That's the thing, I'm not sure. Everything I've read screams "JUNK FOOD = BAD" but then I post on here and I get bombarded by people here saying that I'm not eating enough and very few give tips on how to improve.

So what do you reccomend? Should I just cut out most of my workout? What are some ways I can get in some extra calories that's not junk food?

I really appreciate your answers and help. Just want you to know that. I moved to my new duty station in January. And the majority of food around here is italian food (which happens to be pretty much my weakness) so I've been trying to stay away from white carbs because i assumed thats why i gained weight. Do you think if…

My command sets up a specific time through the day where we have to go workout. It's mandatory. So it's not like I get much of a choice. THEN I stand 24 hour watches ON TOP of an 8 hour workday the next day. I do this every 4 days. You do the math. I don't get much time.

This was helpful, thank you! Where do you reccomend I look up what an appropriate portion size would be? What is Spanx I haven't heard of that.

I have no problem with my self image. I'd just like to drop a few extra pounds. Since I transferred I gained some weight and just want to shed it. I enjoy working out because it relieves stress theres nothing "wrong with me". I've just never been a big eater to begin with and the food I did eat when I got here wasn't the…

I give myself 2 days a week for muscle repair. I drink the shakes because I'm In the navy and don't get a whole lot of time to eat a meal. I'm not looking for a quick fix I'm just looking for some guidance and what to tweak here and there. I've never eaten much to begin with. I just want to get back to my pre boot camp…
