downsize your plates, fill your plates with veggies...that way you're not sitting there having being sad about a cup of noodles and how hungry you are :). I think as long as you add plenty of vegetables to your diet (not drowned in butter and sauce) and adding a small cup of healthy soup (barley mushroom, veggie medley)…

sauna. take up what wrestlers do before a weigh in. run in a sweatshirt and sweat it out! ....good luck!!!!

Well you have to take your BRM into consideration, that + your workout calories you burn...you may not be giving your body enough fuel and it's going into a "starvation" mode and storing energy as fat

Are you eating back your workout calories??

Old habits are hard to break! Lilttle will power and learning new habits and you just may be a-ok! Good Luck! PPPS Unless its T.O.M. cravings...then I'd say give in just a little bit, because T.O.M. sux! :flowerforyou:

Good luck, feel free to add me. Not quitting anytime ever!!!

I wouldn't do it. I tried it back in High School when it still had ephedra in it and had the worst side effects - insomnia, jitters, heart pounding....and i didn't take nearly what the bottle said to take. No magic pills exist, sadly. Diet and Exercise - Calorie Input vs Calorie Output is the only way!!!!

I make a southwestern type of salad - salad mix, tomatoes, cucs, avocado, black beans, veggie burger & salsa for dressing. veggie burger wrap - light flat out wrap, veggie burger, hummus, lettuce mix, sprouts mushroom barley soup (need a good container to avoid spills!) i'm still experimenting with this whole part time…

Yea their menu is not exactly diet friednly or vegetarian friendly for that matter... what about Evelyn's favorite pasta??? CF menu - Evelyn's Favorite PastaPenne Tossed with Broccoli, Oven-Dried Tomato, Roasted Eggplant, Peppers, Artichoke, Kalamata Olives, Garlic and Pine Nuts. Eat 1/2 and you should be a-ok.

When you use the word BINARY in your user name!!! mwahahaa :heart:

but have tons of sodium :cry:

celery has very minimal calories and actually takes up more calorie to burn as its getting digested :)

I used to take the car/house key and loop it into my shoe laces, make sure to double knot!! I found the arm band to be the most handy for hte ipod, though the iPod shuffle was a lot more lightweight and just clipped on to wherever.

Sounds good too. I make money on the side with sales of health/beauty supplements and products. Anyone interested, let me know!

Going out to eat less. I've been couponing and being strict with my grocery list - making meal plans ahead of time and shopping only once a week helps me stick to the budget. Couponmom.com is a good site to help you find deals, coupons etc.

I've been using Forever Active Probiotics.If you want I can send you links and I have a code to get about 30% off :)

Want to research plumbing permit requirements for me? City of Quincy, MA. Thanks!

mo?

What he said! :)

I think 135lb for 5'8 is very reasonable and healthy. It's not like you're trying to be 100lb at your height (which is what those girls on America's Next Top Model weigh). Don't worry about the ney sayers. you're doing great. Look great and will look great when you're at your goal weight :) Chin up!

Never used it. Heard horror stories about soiling your pants while taking it! Yikes!

I plan out my week of eating. All the snacks, meals etc. I do not keep food at my desk and only bring stuff for me to eat through out the day. I'm an EA so I know what you mean....boredom=mindless eating. I just bring in berries, veggies, fruit, yogurts, nuts....and drink plenty of h2o

bananas, may be making frozen breakfast roll ups ahead of time that you can nuke and head out the door, shakes. They have a blender cup that you can use on the go. Throw all the ingredients in, make sure the batteries are charged, blend and enjoy...no need for all that mess in the kitchen.…

That is just so disgusting! No wonder there are constantly ecoli and salmonella outbreaks. I'll be paying more attention to my meats. Thank you for sharing!

Don't give up! It would just make you feel even more discouraged. See if there are changes you can make to your diet, may be seek a nutritionist advice :) But Don't Give Up! You've come so far and this is just a little speed bump. :flowerforyou:

Welcome! Great place to start :) Feel free to add.

Thats the perfect attitude to have!! Good luck :) sounds like you're on the right track!

Yep! Couldn't agree more!!!!!

Hi, I like to be a Part Time Veggie..I love seafood!!! (and an occasional steak) So at dinner I usually end up eating some kind of meat. Anyway, just wanted to share some of my lunch meals I've been having lately, that are vegetarian, filling and not starchy. 1. Veggie Burger Wrap - i use Light Flat Out bread, Veggie…
