The thing is being only 10 or so days in I'm not sure I fully grasp what an accurate portion size is yet. Call it a slippery slope fallacy but I do worry about going over once a week especially in the beginning. I will probably just go with what I assume to be the healthiest on the menu (chicken fajitas), avoid the…

I have a kitchen scale but it isn't digital (analog?? Lol). How much of a difference is the accuracy o a digital kitchen scale? Also, I haven't been measuring most of my vegetables, like lettuce, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, green beans. Is it vital to weigh things like that? I would also be interested in how you handle…

I had just done this a couple days ago and sent the list to my bf! Even if we don't get to all of it it'll still be a fantastic summer.

I love my Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers! When I'm making a pot of Mac n cheese for the kids it's much easier to stay away knowing I have chicken linguine or sesame chicken just 4 minutes away. That said I keep it to 1/work day. At home I cook. :-)

He is 21 and has chosen to not respect your wishes while living in your house. More than once. I don't think selling dime bags is a big deal at all, but you do. If he is living with you he needs to respect that. Boot him, for good. He will be fine. Or he won't. But as an adult that's HIS responsibility. Part of being a…

Do you drink coffee? I sip black coffee all morning to help curb any binges I may want (mornings are worst for me) and that really helps to suppress my appetite. Be sure to get your water in though! Also I pre-track my days and be sure to leave a little wiggle room. That way even if I'm not able to get my workout in I know…

PEACHES! Yes!! But I love any fruit - strawberries or blueberries, pineapple. You could also try a dash of salt and freshly cracked pepper. Try small curd (or large) if it was a texture issue.

Just joined Fitocracy yesterday but I'm looking forward to playing with it, literally! My username is millej30. Feel free to follow!

I am 24 and have a little over 100 lbs to lose. It didn't go on overnight and it won't come off fast either! But rather than just losing weight I am focusing more on a lifestyle change. I want to be healthy and happy and if skinny comes with that then so be it ;-) Anyone can add me!!

I recently started logging EVERYTHING - including when I "taste test" while cooking. I found one day in particular I felt I hadn't done too badly but I didn't log until I had ordered my hamburger and French fries... That day I literally ended up almost 3,000 calories OVER my limit!! The terrifying thing was that I truly…

Fresh veggies with a little dip is usually a hit, especially with fun names! Broccoli - trees, cauliflower - flowers, carrots - snow man noses... I like to add black beans (dinosaur eggs!) to foods they already love for an extra bump of protein. Ramen noodles with black beans seems to be the favorite. Make it a little…

I love gumbo, and if you have a crock pot it's so easy! You can find tons of different gumbo recipes online, just be careful of what you add to yours. Heavy on veggies, lean protein, and spices is key! The wonderful thing about gumbo is that you can really alter it to suit your tastes and the ingredients aren't very…

Hello! I just posted on another thread about this :-) my goal is to lose 120 lbs, because 5'0" and 200+ lb is just unhealthy and uncomfortable! As someone else said, I'd like to shop at places other than Lane Bryant. I don't have kids of my own but I run a daycare (24/7) so I feel like I get to be in that exclusive…

I am looking to lose 120 lbs overall. I'm 5'0" so being in the 200's is just not healthy or comfortable! I am in a size 22/24 and desparately looking for any support.

I have struggled with unhealthy relationships with my body and food literally as long as I can remember. At my worst point I was hospitalized in the ICU for a week, and a few years later I ended up at an inpatient crisis treatment facility. I know that I will always have the thoughts and temptations I used to struggle…

My name is Jessica, from US. I am 24 and 217, looking to lose 60 lbs this year and 122 overall. I struggle with weight loss for a LOT of reasons so I'm just trying to take it slow and lower my expectations of myself. I'm not trying to diet or lose weight, I'm changing my life!
