  • I love the Cake Batter smoothie from the blog Dashing Dish. It is low in calories but uses protein powder to keep you full. I never skip the sprinkles!
  • Thank you for sharing. You look amazing and so happy! I really needed this inspiration!
  • Was ridiculously hungry all day - probably due to new eating style and working out. Still way better than I've done in a long time, so live and learn, back to the gym today. - I found the first 2 weeks to be the hardest (and hungriest!). Eating more protein has helped me feel less hungry and have much more energy to work…
  • Its just food. I think all the mourning for the cheesecake shows how we put food on a pedestal. There was more cheesecake for his coworkers, and at the bakery, and the grocery store, etc.... Lets face it there is plenty of food around and that's a big part of the problem!! Great job you should feel proud!!
  • Ahi tuna steak, crusted with herbs, pan fried (rare) in EVOO. Alexia sweet potato fries
  • Good advice! A real eye opener. Thanks for this.
  • You have gotten some harsh replies, and sometimes its good to hear the harsh reality but I really do know what your saying, I think we have all felt that it just sucks to struggle with this issue of eating and weight over and over. I have been working hard to stay positive and take some of the "power" away from the food…
  • It is so inspiring to hear about so much success! Keep this thread going, I could read this stuff forever!!
  • You could try cottage cheese with fruit and nuts, wraps with turkey or chicken and avocado. I like to use Lavash for wraps, one big wrap is 100 cals. A big pot of veggie soup will make several low cal lunches for the week, assuming cooked veg is ok!
  • I had the same problem when I first attempted MFP about a year ago. This time I was determined to find the right balance for my metabolism. I have been careful to eat back at least half of the calories burned exercising and it has worked this time, eating too little really worked against me. Balance in your macros is also…
  • I am right there with you! I have been logging for 21 days and have not lost a full pound. I am trying to keep to 1200-1500 cals and all of the other numbers are within range most of the time. Sodium tends to be the one I go over on. I am consider doing a few weeks of fasting for 2 days per week to get my metabolism going.…
  • Hello, I need to lose 30 lbs. I started 2 weeks ago and have seen only a small loss of a couple of lbs even though I am sticking to 1200 cals a day and recording everything. I feel better and my stomach is flatter, so thats motivating! My clothes fit better too. I am phobic about weighing myself, too many bad experiences…
