I'm not a doctor or scientist so there is no way I can give you an answer. It's just what I believe and how my body feels when i do not eat sugar or processed foods. Everyone has their own opnion and I was only giving mine.

Oh there was a lot of evidence. Doctors that had done a lot of tests to prove what they said. I wouldn't believe someone just because it's what they told me....i like to see proof. I don't eat sugar and I eat all natural foods, not processed consistantly for about a week now and I already feel so much better....Inside and…

And while eating sugar and still keeping to your calories....it is still not good for you. The way your body digests it is really bad for our systems. Whach Fed Up.....it will change your mind. I never realized until I saw it myself! It's very informative. I honestly believe now a calorie is not just a calorie. Some are…

I got down to 118lbs the lowest but typically stayed closer to 125. I have a picture in my photos of me at my lowest....I'm wearing a pink bathing suit on the beach. Sorry I don't know how to post pic here, lol I felt great then and will get there again!

ohhhh....add me! I just started on June 1st and love it so far. Would love ideas and a place to share :smile:

For me currently it's my wedding in Oct. I have just put my foot down and told myself I have to do this! Also...I recently watched Fed Up. That documentary will make you want to eat better and stay on track...lol Well at least for me!

I only drink water. I actually like it! Never really craved soda or juices.

I'm at 1200...some days are hard but most are just fine!

Go to Whole30.com It's all about eating real, unprocessed foods. I just started on Monday and I feel great! You can find recipes and exactly what to shop for ...and what not too ;-)

You can look at mine.....only been really serious since the 1st,lol I'm 5'4, 143lbs. My goal is also 125lbs. I got there last year and then blew it!

I thought it was a good idea :smile:

I don't think it's "bad" but I try to stay away from artificial sweetners and the carbonation...diet or regular, make me feel bloated. So I only have one (diet always) once in awhile. I drink mostly water and green tea. And wine or beer when I cheat...lol

Same for me!

Great post....thank you! And congrats!

It is hard but once you can do it for about a couple weeks straight it does get easier....I'm still in the process now. But last year I lost about 25 pounds (since gained it back :neutral: ) And I ate pretty much whatever I wanted as long as it fit into my calories for the day like a lot of other people have said also. I…

I buy canned beans,brown rice...if you don't buy organic....veggies and fruits are usually not too expensive. If you have a Wal-Mart they have that new organic brand food (Wild Oats) that is very inexpensive....whole wheat pasta,sauces without a lot of sugar and calories, canned veggies with no salt added. I try to stick…

Soda and juice. Never wast my calories on drinks. Unless it's a glass of wine;-) But I am currently not drinking alcohol either so no wasted calories on drinks for me. I'll drink water all day long and save my cals for FOOD! And whoever said avacadoes.....omg, I LOVE them! I eat 1 or at least a half a one per day. So…

I wish I could skip break fast and have more calories for the day and not feel as hungry but I wake up so hungry! I have to eat within the first 2 hours I wake up at least!

Yes.....it is possible! I was 147lbs and got down to 119lbs last year. I was very strict...logged every day and exercised at least 4-5 times a week. Took about 5 months I'd say. I am sad to I fell off the wagon and am back at 143lbs but am back on track just this week :-)

Similar to myself and I also eat 1200 calories per day. To me it isn't too little an amount. I just re-started so it is difficult but after a couple weeks I know it will be easier. But to the OP you are taller...and sorry not sure of your weight as it is not in pounds maybe go a little higher with your calories. And I also…

I am in! Aiming for at least 8!

Have you made this with Red Quinoa? I haven't made anything with this kind yet but have a box of it in my pantry. sounds really yummy!

THIS!!! We love curry with thighs and not white meat!

I always thought it was ounces.... like 125.2 would be 125 pounds and 2 ounces...lol I'm glad I saw this post!

That is awesome! I agree cutting carbs...pastas....starches helps a TON! I still eat some but not like i used to....hence why I gained my weight back :-( And like you I would rather cut out a food entirely than try to eat in moderation. Like pizza....I cannot eat one piece....I want to eat 4! So I stay away or modify it…

This sounds healthy and very manageable. Mostly how I am trying to eat. Keep up the good work!

I am def making this!

Yes! the bluecheese vinegarette is so good! And only 45 calories a serving!

My fiance makes this avacado salad I love! Chopped avacado purple onion sliced thin a splash of vinegar (I use rice vinegar, not as strong to me) little olive oil salt/pepper So simple but delish! I've actually toped a turkey burger with it once and it was so good!

Fitting in time is the hardest! Now that it's daylight savings time I am so happy I'll be able to bike and walk or jog even with my son (he is 8) I would like to get up and do it before work but I already wake up at 5:30am everyday for work and getting my son ready and off to school. You are blessed to have your husband to…
