Healthy fats keep you fuller and satisfied, plus if you can fit them into your calories, you are fine!!! I eat peanut butter and avacados almost everyday, great for you :)

Hi! I think that would be a great mix of both cardio and strength! Personally, I COULD NOT lose weight while lifting, so while I was trying to lose, I did not life, and did light cardio and ate 1200 calories a day. However, my sister in law competes bikini modeling, and she will do a heavy mix of both 3-6 months leading up…

Great for you! Heck of a transition! I am also, 23 years old, but moved out on my own when I was 18, (and only by God's grace and a wonderfully supportive bf have I been able to finish my bachelors!) A big thing when I moved out on my own, was buying groceries in cash so I spent less, bought frugally, and went at night…

Hi! 2 bananas 1/2 a whole avocado 2 tbls of peanut butter <3

Thanks! This is all helpful and great info. Hope my weight doesn't fluctuate that much... only lost like 10lbs...

Hi! I am 23 years old, size 5 pants, 5'3, 134lbs and mfp says that at sedimentary, I should eat 1660 a day. But I am also getting back into weight lifting and walking a lot, but I count that separately and eat back calories if I am hungry. Also, I have had a lot more energy lately because I just recently upped my calories…

Thanks guys!!! <3

LOL

I heard of an all natural way to detect if you are allergic to a certain food, though I haven't tested this. You take your heartbeat at rest while sitting down for a full 60 seconds, and record it. Then chew one bite of a particular food, and while it is STILL in your mouth, you stand up and take your heartbeat again for…

I love the taste of coconut water!!!! Yum!!! But I only have rarely, as a treat because it is not really any better for you vitamin/mineral wise than other "juices" although it is less in calories than others. But I generally try to avoid calories in liquid form except for almond milk, (and beer! but trying to cut back.)…

So about 110lbs? How tall are you? I'd look so sick 110, and my sister-in-law who is my height, 5'3" is at that weight only when competing, in bikini, but she is also amazingly ripped. I mean, sixpack waist that is 22" around. :drinker: so inspiring. Are you lifting/training? I'm thinking at your weight heavy lifting may…

You weight less than 90lbs and are trying to lose weight according to your ticker? I'm not clear on your goals...am I reading this correctly? As for coffee as food, I can handle a sugarfree and soy latte as a meal but I try not to since it has low nutritional value

When you go to eat for comfort, remember how crappy you feel after you break promises that you have made to yourself. Find other ways to cope with stress, such as exercise, good books, ect.

MIO Brown Rice Protein Powder, 19 grams of protein and 110 calories in 3 tablespoons, 1 serving. Pretty cheap and you can find it at Kroger! Great stuff, I have made pancakes as well as shakes with it.

I'd just like to throw this out there, I was raised as a vegetarian and have never eaten red meat in my entire life. I'm very healthy and am not lacking in any vitamins, minerals or protein. I've had blood tests, and other than being slightly overweight, ( I am 23 years old, 5' 3" and 133 lbs, down from 142,) I'm very…

Watched a documentary about a guy who lived off this for 30 days, he was pretty miserable, but more from the social implications of living off a lab-made material. This stuff was developed as a nutritional supplement for people in places who do not have access to proper nutrition, which isn't our case..... The maker of it…

Congrats on eating cleaner!!! But yes, what a few others have said, avocado, nuts, peanut butter, evoo, are all great fats. Could you add 2 tbs of peanut or almond butter to your shake and make it with full fat milk? Or is this right after a workout and you are not at home? That could easily add 300 calories to a 200…

This ^^^ And my "cheat days" I stay between 1700 and 1800 calories, my maintenance. But do what works for you, if the thought of cheat days makes you feel uncomfortable then don't have them!!!

Wondering the same thing! I just logged it under general aerobics... I thought I was in decent shape, but I'm totally exhausted after 34 minutes! I can do an hour on the elliptical easy.... I searched for it on here, you have the only post about it I can find :/

ME TOO!!!! Those 3lbs mean a lot to me :( Anyone also have disturbed sleep patterns during this? I went to bed at 10pm an woke up at 2:30am, and I am WIDE awake.... maybe its just because I feel like I'm DYING.

I don't know if this will help, but I used to exercise a hour a day 5x a week and ate about 1500 a day, but I never saw the scale move. When I stopped exercising that much, now I just walk or do light cardio and eat 1200 a day and that is when I started to lose the weight. I've lost almost 10lbs, 1/2 my goal. It's counter…

I'm also going totally vegan! Guess I should have mentioned that. I'm adding you :)

My initial plan was to lose 20lbs, I am down 8 and have 12 to go!!! (5'3" starting weight 142, current 134, goal 122) Pants size is about a 5/6right now, hourglass shape. Glad that someone created this group!!! I have been eating roughly 1100-1400 calories and walking a lot, usually 2-3 miles a day but it has been really…

YES!!! I <3 muscle. But I <3 the dedication to bust your *kitten* even more than that!!!

The unsupportive partner things sucks, What goes in your mouth is up to you, but in the beginning that can be rough, for you and for them. Changing the way you eat has effects on them, and they may not be sure how to handle this sudden change to your relationship, feel slightly resentful, or honestly think they are not…

brown rice protein powder :) it is fairly cheap for protein powder, in the health food section of Kroger its about $10 for a container and you get quite a bit I switched to this after I wanted to work on becoming vegan, I get sick of beans as well :) I usually make a shake with water and peanut butter but they say you can…

I KNOW!!! I wanted to cry!!! :) Thank you :)

I was just asking a question... no need for bold letters... thanks, i guess...
