  • Hahaha! LOVE AND SECOND THIS!!!! When i gave up coffee for tea, my schedule was all out of wack. This played a huge part in my switching back to coffee. It's nice to know my number 2s will arrive at 8:15 every morning. Expecially when its a community bathroom, and I don't like to go on scheduled break since I'm poo shy.

  • I love my coffee as well. With one tbsp of sugar free liquid creamer. I drink it everyday, twice a day! For me, though, it lessens any hunger. I drink one cup right after my workout every morning and I'm usually set for about 2 hours. I hear caffeine is a appetite suppressant and assumed that is why it has that effect on…

  • I'm a bit shorter at 5'0" but I wanted to contribute!!! I don't have measurements. I'm very pear shaped and would get discouraged when my hips are twice the size of someone else's my height.

The only reason I'm able to do so is because I pretty much only eat lean meats and veggies (low carb dieter). I eat six small meals a day…

  • My mom and I are low carbers as well. My mom started Medi Life. She does 500-700 cal/ >20 carbs/ <75g protein a day under doctor supervision. (I HIGHLY stress the doctor supervision because that is a scary amount of calories. She goes to a medical office 2x a week for tests and shots) She lost 150+ lbs in a year. I started…

  • Eat mostly lean protein and veggies. Protein keeps you full longer. Lean protein doesn't count against your calories as much. Source: Low carb dieter for 8 months. I struggle to get over 1000 net calories a day eating grilled chicken, lean hamburger, eggs, fish, asparagus, and onions and green beans mostly. I end up eating…
