From what I have heard, you will lose weight but when you move to eating to maintain you will put weight back on. I am also interested in this as I would like to move up from 1300 calories I eat now to a higher amount as I reach closer to my goal without gaining.

-Eating less that 1500 calories will make you sick. -Vegetarian diets are unhealthy -You need at least your body weight in grams of protein a day

Yes, That is also why I don't post pictures. I have some co-workers on this site.

Brown rice is amazing, White rice is amazing too. Really, now that I'm dieting, even foods I don't usually like taste good. Hunger is the best seasoning.

Eating breakfast makes you more mentally aware throughout the day. I eat breakfast every day.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

I've been a vegetarian for 15 years, which feels like a long time when I say out the years. Mushrooms, Wheat protein, soy, rice protein (This one is new to me and I've just started eating it) and beans. Vegan Chili has always been a favorite of mine and it is cheap to make.

No weight gain for me, I didn't eat very much and the food that was available was far less appealing than what I normally eat.

I have been a Vegetarian for 15 years now.

I have the same problem! I am always over on my sugar... Usually by at least double. I have a yogurt at work and its most of the sugar for the day. My doctor doesn't say I have any issue with my sugar and I've never been at risk for diabetes, so I try not to worry. I wouldn't worry too much about the sugar intake as long…

I gave up all soda a few months ago. Its useless junk that our bodies just don't need. Like alcohol, I won't absolutely refuse but I will only have it on a special occasion and only a little.

I am told this by my friends and family. That's how I know they care. Anyone who tells me how great I look because I've lost weight is scum. I'm opposed to the promotion of weight loss as equivalent to beauty.

I had about two weeks where I did not lose much weight at all and then a week where I lost two pounds. I lose about 1/2 a pound a week and I think that will be better for me in the long run then losing quick.

My promotion is guaranteed as soon as my boss leaves, I am the only one there who can do what she does and it would take at least four months to train someone new to fill the position.

My realistic, obtainable goals: - Earn a promotion at work. - Cut back on my passive aggressive behavior and clearly state what I want. - Take at least one lunch break a week (instead of working while I eat at my desk) - Save money to move out of my Mom's house and into my own. My unrealistic goals: - Learn a language -…

With clothes and shoes on, after all of my meals for a day and I suspect my scale of lying and add two pounds (that was how far off it was from the doctor's scale).

Clean the house. Its free, its easy and it needs to get done anyway.

I think I drink at least one cup of tea a day. I really like black tea with sugar and milk, or herbal tea with sugar, or fancy teavana tea without sugar or milk. If it doesn't taste just awful (Lipton tea is just so so bad), then I'll drink it. I drink my ice tea unsweetened. I have a tea I don't drink that has twice the…

I can't say for sure if it work for you but I do the elliptical every week and my legs have become thinner.

I will feed all of your children cookies, brownies and cake. Fair warning! My house will have all of the snack food, I will bake pies and cupcakes. I will have a tire swing and a unfinished tree house. There will be a bike ramp to do tricks off of. Someone will end up needing stitches.

I don't weigh food (also really weird to do in public).I mostly estimate unless its a pre-made food. I try to overestimate. My concern was that I am eating too little. If I keep under maintenance calories most days, then in theory I should still lose some weight.

My sloppy handwriting. It's so bad...

I think I would like something to measure calories burned from non-running/elliptical/biking activities. I do weight activities at the gym too but I only know the calories burn from the elliptical. Also, I'm relatively new at this and have little idea what will motivate me to keep with it. I don't really care how I look, I…

Morningstar Farms Veggie Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit. I really like them and at 270 calories, they make a good lunch. I also eat Special K Chocolate Delight every weekday morning. I use to eat the Blueberry too before they stopped making it.

Mushrooms and onions. As a trade off, I no longer like asparagus, artichoke, dairy milk, or cake.

Shrug? I mean, I've been under 1200 calories before, I'll be under again. I try to eat up to 1200 but occasionally even after a snack I'm at 1150. Other days I eat 1300.
