Good suggestions! Also- I find that sticking to sashimi is usually easiest. Some places will have a sashimi salad that can be quite tasty and you can fill up on greens :).

I really like this! I am going to use it. Thanks :D.

Completely agree. It just depends on what you feel comfortable with. I try and log during the week to make sue I am not over doing it, but then I let it go on the weekends. Been maintaining for about 3-4 months and feeling great :).

Beautiful! You should be SO proud of yourself :D.
-
Tom Yum is also delicious! If you have a Trader Joe's near you, they usually have it in the frozen section and I believe that theirs is all vegetarian. Tassttyyy
-
Exactly this! I love Siracha :D. It really is delicious and you should try it! No reason to be scared at all and I agree with everyone else that there is a lot of sodium so make sure you get a lot of water.

I am not sure if there is a Trader Joe's near you, but I love the fat free balsamic dressing that the have! Only 25 calories for 2 tablespoons :). They also have some awesome hummus and yogurt dips that you could try on your sammiches :D.

Love. It.

Tell me about it...I have already consumed a cupcake. It was delicious. BUT its going in the calorie count!

Nail on the head! I had a friend who was similar. I was going through a rough time in my life and I moved in with her and we were inseparable. We partied a lot, drank, enabled countless bad habits and thought that it was us against the world. Slowly, after a year of unhealthy habits and living, I decided to start picking…

I am a savory person, myself, so I love putting salsa in it! Sometimes I also do some dill and cucumber :).
-
This exactly!
-
It will get better! We all have our down days : /. I like to brew a nice cup of tea on those days and just savor it. Sometimes I throw in some diet cookies to make it extra special! Hugs to you!

Wow, what a bummer! I am sorry that some people can be so insensitive, and I think that you just have to keep in mind that any negativity that people are projecting, it is not your issue. I am sure that she is just coming from a place of (possibly) jealousy, hurt and frustration. The only advice I can give is stay…

I am about the same stats! I was at 150 and then got down to about 130 with the 1250 calorie diet (ate my exercise calories). I was happy at that weight and started adding back calories for maintenance (1450) and lo-and-behold, I dropped another few pounds without trying! I actually got down to 125 but started eating more…
-
This would be my impression too :). Maybe she just wanted to be supportive by letting you know that you look great now? I completely understand how it can get tiresome hearing everyone's two cents, though ^^.
-
I definitely noticed a change for the better. I am not sure if it is the increase in water or what, but I was very glad with the pleasant side effect : ).

Here is the link that LilacLizabeth just sent out, and it has a definition based on shoulder, bust, waist and hip measurements. It seems somewhat subjective, but this one makes sense to me :). http://www.oprah.com/style/Whats-Your-Body-Shape/1#slideshow I am hope that helps!

Hour Glass : )

Just emphasizing that the information is available. I don't think people realize how often this is asked, so I think it is important to encourage people to really use the resources at hand. Also-it seems that she is resistant to the explanations, so it is easier to read the wall of text in the posts linked than try and…

Agreed. It makes me cranky every time I see this question re-posted : /
-
This! I eat pretty much everything : )
-
This made me laugh

I'm 5'7" and My original goal was 130 and I am currently maintaining at a solid 128! I started out at about 145-150. I got down to 125 at one point and I didn't like the way I looked and it was too hard to maintain. My body seems pretty happy between 128 and 130, so that is where I will stay :).
-
I don't know if this will help at all (I am generally not a sweet person, my vices are all savory :D) but I did have these awesome pretzels crisps today that were cinnamon toast flavor, and they were SO GOOD. I was wanting something a little sweet and I picked them up because they were low cal and had relatively healthy…
-
It was pretty hard for me to adjust, too. I was at 1200 for quite a while and I bumped it up to about 1450 a few months ago. It was hard at first to break even 1300 but now I am pretty much steadily eating 1450 during the week and I don't log at all on the weekends! I am maintaining my goal weight and I haven't gained any…
-
Thanks for the feedback, ladies! I think your are both right: it's all about balance. I will just keep on trucking and adjust as needed :).
-
YUM! I will have to try those crackers, and I do LOVE those corn dogs. The skinny fries at Trader Joe's are tasty as well! I also LOVE the Roasted Seaweed snacks that they have. They have a great potato chipish texture and are lightly salted and low calorie. Now I am making myself hungry... Ha!
-
Agree 100% with this!
-
You should be SOOO proud and your post made me laugh so hard! Awesome work and I hope you keep posting your success stories because they are so much fun to read :D.
