^ this.

I have an open diary to friends, anyone feel free to add me =).

I always have a protein shake and fruit for breakfast, sometimes add something else to that. Lunch is usually a salad with different toppings. I always have Greek yogurt for a morning snack. It's one of my favorite things in the world =).

Shop at different grocery stores and look for the best sales. I spend about 150 to 200 a month for 2 people. You can add me and browse my diary if you'd like. =).

I have a large green tea from dunkin donuts every morning, no sugar or milk, but I usually forget to log it. I used to be a coffee addict,but green tea gives me a caffeine boost with 0 calories =).

Sent you a request, mine is open to friends. =).

I have a protein shake every morning to up my protein and keep myself full. If I focus my day on protein, fruits and veggies, the weight just falls off.

Up protein, a protein shake works for me. I eat pretty simple with very, very few processed foods. Mostly a piece of chicken and some veggies. You can add me and take a look at my diary if you'd like =).

I love it. I usually lay in bed at night and plan out the whole next day.

I made it too easy. I'm allergic to peanut butter, but my dad loves it. So, I bought him 2 boxes that have peanuts. No temptation there =).

^This, definetely. You could wear your body out and make yourself sick.

I go over on protein almost every day. As long as you don't get kidney stones, you'll be fine =).

Hit the gym early, stand by the veggie tray. Have a couple treats. Superbowl only comes once a year =).

If your bloating is that bad, I would recommend to go see a doctor. Do you have any abdominal pain or discomfort? I work for a gastroenterologist and there could be a whole host of issues if your bloating is that bad.

Setting your weight loss at 2 lbs a week can be a little high, even though losing less than that a week may sound frustrating. I aim for 1300 calories a day and I eat plenty of veggies because they're so low in calories. Drinking a lot of water will also help keep you full between meals. You most likely want to be eating…

Fruit! If I'm craving something sweet, I always reach for fruit or yogurt. Most fruits will travel well, too.

For me personally, I would go out and enjoy it. I wouldn't scrutinize every calorie, but I would still make smart choices and not go overboard. It's a lifestyle change, not a diet. Enjoy your dinner out =).

I do kind of a mix. I try to plan out as much of the next day as possible, or at least have an outline and leave a little room for surprises. You can browse my diary if you'd like, you can add me as a friend. I actually have some of superbowl Sunday planned out lol.

You can add me if you like and look at my diary. I'm usually over on protein. =).

I was going to say the same thing! Except I'm allergic to peanut butter so I eat sunbutter.

:drinker:

I also swallow the waffles. I haven't had waffles in a long time though =(. I miss waffles.

Lifestyle change!

^^ my favorite light beer.

I use a protein powder that has 50 grams of protein and 220 calories per seeving. I try to have this for breakfast most days and have just a waffle or something with it. I like to have chobani champions for snacks, which give you a little kick of protein. Morningstar farms has good lean protein options.

Listen to your body. Eat a normal dinner and a light snack before bed. Don't try to over eat just to make up the calories.

I stick to 1200, but usually get an extra 200+ with exercise. I try to stick to around 250 to 300 per meal, and my snacks (2 a day usually) are about 100 to 200 calories a piece.

Opt for the healthy snacks! I'm planning big veggie platters, baked chicken wings with no sauce, pretzels for munchies. You don't have to deprive yourself!

No problem!

Macaroni and cheese and french fries, preferably as one meal together!
