Congrats! You look fantastic!

kashi bars are good. usually have good levels of protein.

I am 41 and have been on here for almost a year without missing a day! 64 pounds down and about 60 more to go! Would love more support!

exactly!

For italian food I like to go to "The Hill" in St. Louis. There are many restaurants, delis and bakeries to choose from. The best mexican food I have ever had was in California.

yay!!!

Thanks! That sounds delish!

I can be that way sometimes. You just gotta remember that YOU are your own worst critic. If you bf thinks you are beautiful-you are. Especially to him. If your boss says you do a good job-you did. (my experience with bosses is that they rarely compliment unless they have good reason). And if someone compliments you on your…

I set my carbs at 40% and stick as close to that as possible. as long as the carbs come from healthy choices, I see no problem with them.

That's Fantastic! Congrats!

I disagree. Have you looked at a nutrition guide lately?? The grilled chicken is very good for you. The salads are healthy. The new bun for the chicken is whole grain. The parfait is made with vanilla yogurt and real strawberries and blueberries. It's all about portion control. I eat at McDonalds 5 days a week. ( I manage…

1200 is a minimum. and you ran a 5k, which should have been a huge calorie burn, 319 seems kinda small to me. I cant lose weight at 1200. I raised mine to 1310. It's not an exact science and you may have to tweak the calorie thing a bit.

Never heard of that method. Usually when I hit a plateau, I take a rest day and eat more than I normally would and that seems to work. Do you have PCOS? Cause not having a menstrual cycle is one of the symptoms, as is difficulty losing weight. Also even if you havent lost weight, are your clothes looser? Just curious.

I have a 10 year old who is a picky eater. He eats turkey meatballs and believe it or not, he loves salmon but no other type of fish. They also make turkey sausage.

I love audio books!

I would use the recipe books and go under my foods and create new food. You do not have to list ingredients there so you can just use the ones in your book. They can't publish the wrong calories and on here the calories are often far from right.

wonder whole wheat hot dog and hamburger buns have 5 grams of fiber per bun. they have benefiber for children, it's clear and I give it to my kid cause he has the same issue. Fiber one bars have lots. Raisins help a little. apples have some.

thanks!

Find ways to make the junk healthier. Read nutrition labels. Become informed. I don't care for cooking, but I do have a few staples that I make myself that are easy. Eat within your calories and pay attention to portion sizes.

My idol! You are awesome!

I try to stay at about 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. I have PCOS and am insulin resistant, so I try to do lower carbs, not Atkins or South Beach or anything like that, but 40% usually gives me about 160 grams of carbs. More than that and I feel tired and sluggish all day. And I do seem to have more effective weight…

I had mine all burned off during a laparoscopic procedure. Changed my life.

greek yogurt Almonds tuna eggs chicken breasts ( you can dice them and pan fry them with spray oil and they make wonderful burritos with a little cheese and salsa) low fat string cheese

I eat ALOT of turkey sandwiches on Sara Lee Delightful bread with Light Mayo and cheese. I also eat tuna salad, egg salad and chicken salad. All cheap and easy.

amazing stuff! You ROCK!

I walk at least 20 minutes a day! I love walking! It is healthy and reduces stress, plus you get to eat more!

Welcome! It is an amazing tool! You just gotta stick with it! If you do you will be successful! Good Luck!

I eat less carbs, but have not eliminated them from my diet. I have cut out white sugar and do my best to avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup or other sugars.. I try to stick to a diabetic type diet. Some people have luck with a lower GI tpe diet as well. I changed my macronutrient goals to 40% carbs, 30% protein and…

I do a cheat meal about once every 2 weeks. I will count my calories for everything else, but not that one meal. I do find however, that the cheat days a fewer and farther between. And even when I do "cheat" I dont go overboard!
