Don't forget you don't have to order off of the menu, you can pick and choose foods from menu items to make something healthy but still tasty and filling.

Grilled chicken, rice, lettuce, pico de gallo, beans. Delicious and healthy!

Take the candy! LOL

"Why eat when you know you'll get hungry again" BAHAHAHAH I can't!!! And buffalo wings and margaritas taste way better than skinny feels.

Bump! Looking for some more friends on here that are interactive and use MFP as more than just a logging tool!

I easily burn more than 300/30, when I'm on the elliptical I'm on a fairly high level so that definitely increases my burn.

I think my real question was how do you guys work that into your calorie allotment for the day? Obviously if you're burning more calories through strength training you should be consuming more calories, but how do you figure out that number?

Makes sense! Something I totally already knew but was completely overthinking haha

I use it in my hair, as a makeup remover, and to cook with.

The foods you eat just determine how healthy you are, not your weight loss. You could live on McDonald's fries and lose weight as long as there was a deficit. Weight loss isn't a trick, it's calories in vs. calories out. Whether those calories come from asparagus and salmon or from a double quarter pounder with extra…

No bad will come out of it! And it's delicious, I throw lemon, lime, cucumber, and sometimes mint in my water bottle every day (I replace it every third day)

You can check my diary for some ideas, I switch it up a lot (for dinner) or I'll get bored and order a pizza, chinese food, and buffalo wings every day haha. I try to keep it fairly uncomplicated (most of the time) simply because I'm always in a rush and if I spend two hours making dinner I will NOT go to the gym.

When I don't want to eat/cook because of the heat my go to is always fresh mozz, tomatoes, basil, EVOO, balsamic vinegar. I could live on it. Or I'll just munch on frozen fruit, or throw some fish and broccoli on the grill with lots of lemon.

I've been making quesadillas (chicken, broccoli, and low fat cheese is my current favorite..Italian spin on it). I've also been making a lot of "taco salads" lately.. ground turkey or grilled chicken with homemade pico de gallo, fresh jalapenos, lettuce, olives, a little low fat cheese, and either Trader Joe's guilty free…

Added a few of you!

Mine is open, and I think getting meal ideas from other people's diaries is one of the best things about MFP. I always wondered why people kept them private!

Just made dinner..made a "burger" Grilled a portobello mushroom cap (marinaded for 15 mins in balsamic, EVOO, salt, garlic, and oregano) topped it with a slice of low fat pepperjack cheese, fresh jalapeno, and a runny egg. Side of sautéed mushrooms (I know, mushroom overload. Had a container of sliced mushrooms that I had…

I've actually never had the pill cause weight gain and I've been on it since I was 11. I got the Mirena in February though and I've gained insane weight! That's the only downside to it though, so I refuse to take it out. So annoying.

A material item..shoes, haircut/highlights, etc. I don't reward myself with food, it makes "eating clean and working out" feel like too much of a diet if I do that. If I want something unhealthy, I eat it in moderation and infrequently. I never use a big, unhealthy meal as a reward. I'll feel like **** afterwards, and I…

Egg whites with salsa on a rice cake Turkey egg cups (line muffin tin w/ turkey bacon, fill with egg whites and one yolk, a little piece of Laughing Cow cheese, stick in the oven) Protein pancakes (thousands of recipes, I make a big batch on Sunday night and we eat them all week, I put peanut butter on mine and heat it up)…

5'1", about 147. I gained about ten pounds from the birth control I'm on, and I'm so frustrated it's hard for me to even get started again. However before this ridiculous weight gain I was stuck at 138 for two+ months of 2 hour long work outs and staying within my macros. So frustrating. That's the only word I can use, lol.

25, have about 50 pounds to lose and my frustration is getting the best of me. Need some motivating friends on here!

I'm 5'1" and want to lose 40-50lbs. I currently weigh ~150, but I have a very small frame so I don't carry weight well. The lowest I weighed as an adult was 113, and I by no means looked too "skinny". 100-110 sounds like too little to most people, but I'm sure some as fellow short girls, some of you can relate! My trouble…

We have identical stats, add me! What have you been doing other than the 30 day shred? (workout/food wise)

I've mostly been combining HIIT with resistance training 4-5 days a week, I'm just really impatient! It's amazing how little time it takes you to gain weight, but how long it takes to lose it. I'm putting myself on a pretty strict (but reasonable) diet for the next two weeks just to kind of give myself motivation. Once I…

I'm 5'1" and need to lose 25-30 pounds. I've been hitting the gym regularly, so I'd love some friends on here that workout!

I started it yesterday, I'm anxious to get past these first two weeks even though I'm a terrible runner. I've heard such good things about C25K that I definitely think it'll work for me! 1. Week # 1 2. Day # 1 3. Walking 2.5 ..typically I'll walk at 3.5, but my knees were bothering me yesterday. 4. Running 5.0, I'll up…
