Wow! Congratulations! and cute pup! :smile:

Thanks for this! Just signed up :) EDIT: actually, let me pay this forward! Here's a new code for anyone else interested: SASHAH26P

I eat all of those things (periodically), but I guess just not enough? I suppose it would be easy to add a glass of milk at some point in the day... Times like these I wish I had a little pocket dietitian, haha.

I posted about this in another thread, but I also never meet my carb/protein goals (always under), even though I'm eating what I think is a balanced/reasonable amount. Very frustrating. Someone suggested avocados, which I'm going to start putting on sandwiches. Hopefully that will help.

Avocados are a great suggestion! Thank you! I don't know why I forgot that they exist, haha. I might have to start actively including "snack" times, even when I'm not hungry. Set an alarm on my phone or something.

Oh my. *salivating*

I really hope this doesn't count as hijacking the thread (and if it does, my apologies! and ignore me) but how are you fellow short ladies doing on your calories/macros? I swear, I'm eating when I'm hungry/not intentionally restricting, but I'm under the 1200 calories almost every day, and I've never once met my carb and…

Not really a cookie, but I make butterscotch haystacks (http://www.christmas-cookies.com/recipes/recipe124.haystacks.html) and 'Church Windows' (http://www.christmas-cookies.com/recipes/recipe203.cathedral-windows.html) I also make Chai Spiced sugar cookies, that go great with a pot of black tea :)…

This is exactly me. My friends didn't understand why I wanted to lose weight, and weren't especially interested/supportive, because I didn't LOOK that bad. But I tried explaining to them how frustrating it was to have a mental sense of how much space I took up, versus what was happening in reality. For instance, I'd be…

I make my own hummus with kidney beans instead of chickpeas. It's quite good! For everyone who makes their hummus at home on the reg, I suggest trying it with kidney beans sometime!

Had a similar sort of experience with a big bag of rice. Got the bag out of the cupboard, stuck the measuring cup in, turned to the stove to check the water and when I turned back, the counter was overflowing with weevils :sick: A much more upsetting experience occurred when I was 7. I had a very hip New Kids on the Block…

Great thread! I'm on week 5 of C25K and I run 4 times a week. I'd LIKE to run every day, but I know that'll put me on the fast track to injury. On my 'off" days I do a couple reps of triceps extensions, lunges, squats, etc. Basic sort of home workout stuff. I'm not really giving it my all with these though, as they just…

5'2" and flirting with 140lbs here...I used to be very active (running between 30-50K/week) but a hip injury put me out of commission for a while...So I'm also maybe not the motivation you were looking for, haha, but I hope to soon be! It can be very frustrating when the scale only moves a pound after SO MUCH hard work,…

I also used to take milk and sugar in my coffee, but have found that just milk is "sweet" enough now. For every 8oz cup, I add a quarter cup of 2% milk. It's something you have to work gradually towards, and your tongue just get's used to it!

A lot of your cravings can probably be attributed to adjusting to eating a new, healthier diet. Or even just breaking old habits. Myself, I was a notorious "grazer" - just going to the fridge for a bite of pasta salad, a slice of deli meat, a cracker, etc. Tracking what I eat here on MFP really helped me to see just how my…
