I'm on my wall to about a 90 pound loss goal. I've been plateau'd at around 170 (60ish pounds lost) since July. I went through a slow drop, super quick drop, standstill, and then i noticed I could start eating more and more without gaining. So i'm working my way up to eating around 1800 calories without gaining (whereas i…

i thought it was a cliff hanger! did not appreciate that! wanted more! but defff scary!

thats awesome! you can see the difference working out makes from this because if you had just lost the 10lbs with dieting it probably wouldn't have created as much muscle definition. Great Job! how often, how long, and what kind of excercizes did the bootcamp cover?

^ agreed! you need all the calories the next day to soak up all those drinks. i log all the walking and dancing to make up for all the empty calories!

keep counting the calories and fit little indulgences in. if you go over eat something healthy for the next meal and get back on track. taking walks really helps to get your mind off being extra hungry, it burns a few calories, and its relaxing.

love chicken salad, but I usually get the veggie delight...is it crazy more calories and is it worth it?

oh! im totally going to look for the fiber one cottage cheese!

i do free days 1 day a week or 1 every 2 weeks. Sometimes, you just cant get to healthy food- like on a holiday or road trip. 1400 calories is easy when you can get to nutritious food but its nearly impossible when you're at a party on a road trip or working a super long shift. But usually I do free days so I can go out to…

i'm in the same situation. I dont have time to get all sweaty at the gym then have to take a shower, and when I get home at 8 after running around since 8am i am not in the mood to workout. This semester I spaced my classes 1 break period in between each class. It makes for a longer day, but I walk around or even walk back…

GOOD

i'm not that into it, but i definitely get a craving sometimes. I drink flavored selzter instead. even plain selzter does it for me...its the carbonation

i knooooowwwwww what you mean. but alteast you know theres no way you'll gain or get bigger, and eventually you'll get smaller. you're not going to go your whole life working out perfect and eating perfect without getting to a healthy fit weight :D so thers that. lol

I did this too!! i'm doing the cleanse that was in February's Glamour--basically cut bread, cheese, and anything with preservatives for a week. starches are okay. only cereals with 9 grams of fiber or more. lots of lean meat and healthy fruits and veggies (think broccoli not avocado and apples not bananas). I lost the…

its going to be so easy you wont even feel like its a diet..you can work in anything you want to eat people are always on the message boards for any questions, this is the besttt site..good luck!

For Dinner: If you like goat cheese try Goat Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Goat-Cheese-Stuffed-Tomatoes/Detail.aspx or Pasta with sauce(or butter if thats your thing) and some sauteed vegetables a quick yummy dinner is Kraft "whole grain" macaroni and cheese, add some broccoli or peas you could load…

Oh yay! glad you guys like it! How do I bump? its actually..170 cals per slice if you use a 1/2 cup of shredded monterey over the whole pizza and 145 cals per slice if you dont.. just to be exact 3 grams of fiber per slice too!! also, i made this thinking i'd want a whole 1/2 the pizza (about 600 calories, but i'm…

it should be a little hard at first. force yourself to meet it even if its hard, then you know you're going to lose weight. drop your calories when you start to get comfortable. dieting is not about being comfortable, its about staying nourished. if you eat lots of veggies, light cheeses, lean meats, fruit, and whole grain…

this takes a little prep but its VERY LOW CALORIE and LOTS OF FOOD STUFFED CUCUMBER> ABOUT 65 CALORIES *skin the cucumber, it kinda hurts the roof of your mouth if you dont. 1 whole cucumber > split it down the middle and scoop out the seeds (eat em, i always do) 1/4 cup (.5 a serving) of cottage cheese (use the 4% or 2%…

good for you! enjoy your weightloss journey

i cut a cucumber in half the long way and scoop out the seeds then fill with cottage cheese with parsley, chives, and basil. sooo good.. 68 calories for the whole cucumber!!

i'll be honest..i HATE excercizing. i work out 20 min 1-2 times a week..IF that but i have to walk back and fourth classes and stuff so that totals probably 1 mile/ 15 min a day i'm trying to work up to 3 days a week 30 min..INTENSE like..30 day shred intense w/ strech and short walk after but right now i'm just doing walk…

i agree with the just have the candy or even better a coffee!

white bread, pancakes, waffles, danishes, coffee cake, (basically any sweet breads), steak, ground beef.. can i also add..things i can live without... bacon, icecream, croissants, muffins, regular soda, burgers, slushies,

if you're not seeing a loss or feel like you crave sugar/more bread...then yea, cut it down. But if you're fine, i wouldnt worry about it. Cutting it from dinner a few nites a week is easier than you would think and might make you lose a ittle more.

i completely agree... im not sure where i heard it so you can research it if you want, but artifical sweetner makes your body think its getting sugar and then when it realizes it hasnt it craves it more! it also makes you bloat and changes your brain chemistry making you feel depressed. when you cut it out completely you…

i think you should.. from my own experience i put myself in starvation mode for 4 months and lost 20 lbs but now that i'm eating what they recommend, its so much easier. and i remember the first month of my extreme diet i lost 12lbs and this month i lost 11..so, it eat what they tell u! with that said, i've also cut white…

:( poor happy animals. atleast they're living happy lives on a farm we're they're able to roam around as they please before they're slaughtered. healthier for everyone you said we're a the top of the food chain for a reason? i would hope we would be smart enough not to disrespect all the creatures of the earth and strip…

never works that way for me..if i lower my calories or start working out and nothing happens, if i go back i gain
