What are some good protein foods I can fit in? I don't eat chicken, eggs, or meat.

I'm eating Fruits, Vegetables, Black Beans, Brown Rice, Avocado, Almonds, etc. No white bread, cereal, or anything like that

I used to do Herbalife, but I realized meal replacements are bad for you. I eat real food now like Fruits, Vegetables, Whole Grains, Organic Chicken. Plus, I STILL felt Hungry after Herbalife meals.

I gained weight by eating back my calories!

Oh okay! Thank you :) It's because I read somewhere that eating after 7pm is bad. But then others have told me it's a myth.

Okay, Thank you! I'm going to have to schedule my Breakfast and Lunch earlier so I won't be having dinner at 8:00pm

My Diary is open. I ate breakfast at 10:00am and Lunch at 3:00pm

I log in all the time, especially to use the calories counter and see what other users are doing to loose weight. My family aren't really supportive, whenever they invite me to a restaraunt, I order a salad and water and they get mad at me and tell me to get real food and not rabbit food. Which is why I log on here because…

Amazing, these kind of stories make me wanna push even harder, thanks for sharing! :)

Are you sore? If so, your body must be new to this exercise, so it has to be water retention and building muscle. Instead of weighing yourself, get a measuring tape and measure your waist instead of weight. The reason why is because you might have build muscle and muscle weighs more than fat.

THIS!!!! Earlier today I was craving Mexican Fast Food, but just like you've mentioned before, I asked myself the same thing "Why should I eat that today when I have a full life time of chances to eat that" and it usually works, but if it's like a chocolate bar, sure why not, but I have to double my workout to burn the…

This!!! Earlier today I ate 2 huge bowls of soup along with 2 slim fast shakes all at the same time! I ate all of that at 3pm, then around 8pm, I started getting hungry/having cravings, so I just ignored it and kept drinking water. I should've separated those meals but I couldn't help it, I'm a huge binge eater. I got home…

I'm actually taking them now replacing it with breakfast since I'm not a breakfast person and I don't get hungry in the morning. But yes it's true, they're NOT filling at all, instead of 1, I have to drink 2 of those ****ers for breakfast in order to get full lmao! :laugh: But it usually lasts me for like 4 hours and then…

If it's a myth, then can someone tell me why or what?

I work nightshifts once a week from 11pm-7am. I eat my "breakfast" between 7pm-8pm, then do my exercise at 9pm. Get to work at 11pm, I don't eat "lunch", I only eat fruits and drink water. I get home at 8am and go straight to sleep, I don't eat once I get home because I'm so tired and I don't wanna sleep with a full…

I'm in! I would like to join this challenge:)

You're not alone. I weigh myself every single day 3 times a day to see if the numbers are going up or down. If I see them going up, I get discourage and come up with the excuse like "Might as well eat junk food since I'm not losing any weight". But right now I have to put the scale away since I'm getting started with…

I'm doing a daily calorie allowance, and I still stick with my diet on my days off which confused me on why I was gaining weight lol

When I was little, from age 1-10, I was skinny but then when I slowly started to gain weight, I had no idea I was fat until people started to point it out. Lol, but I didn't care, I denied it up until freshman year when I was always the last one to finish the running laps in PE, I was like "Alright, I seriously need to…

Week 0 - Starting Weight is : 196lbs By Christmas, My Goal Weight is: 170lbs :)!!!

Same here! I had to start over again but so far I'm doing good. But just like the person mention above, you can't spot reduce. For example, I don't like my belly either, but when you lose weight, you lose weight everywhere, not just in 1 area. But that doesn't mean you can't lose the belly, just keep dieting and working…

I added you! :)

I LOVE fall/winter! They're my favorite seasons! Especially Black Friday where I get to shop for new clothes since hopefully by then, I have already lost a lot of weight! And also Fall to me is the opening for the new year which makes me even more motivated!

I feel exactly the same way! You took every word out of my mouth! Especially when you said "I want to find the new thinner person inside me". Everytime I look in the mirror, I know the new me is inside me somewhere! I used to have a very weak will-power, when I would get out of work, I would go straight to a drive-thru and…

Yeah I feel the same way! Everytime I go on Facebook and see my friends upload new photos, they look way better than I do! Or when I go on Tumblr and see all those people with nice shaped bodies and I always compare myself to them and I get all frustrated and sad! I've been overweight ALL my life, I don't know what's it…

I just create my meal plan on MFP and try my best to follow it, I just started Thursday 9/8/13, and it's really working, I went on MFP and read some of people's recipes and foods they get when they're grocery shopping, so I went to the store this past Thursday and grabbed all the healthy foods and borrowed some ideas from…
