I have been about 15 pounds lighter than I am today and I felt shy and embarrassed and I felt like men looked at me too much. I felt like a piece of meat. I like to be a little heavier because I feel more comfortable that I won't get "noticed" as much. I think that is why I struggle to get back down to that weight,…

I was from Cleveland, now live in Mass. I LOVE the CLE! What is with all the Bernie jokes, really? I would welcome a lovely Cleveland girl to my friends!!

Me too! I just deleted a bunch of friends that hadn't logged in for a year or more! I will add you :)

This happens to me as well, I avoid any hot tea until about 2 pm. I actually need breakfast and lunch before my tummy can handle hot tea. I will vomit it up within minutes. I vomit when I take vitamins in the morning too, i must take vitamins at night. The One-A-Day green tea vitamins are the worst!!

I am on week 6 of T25. I didn't follow the nutrition guide but I ate around 1300 calories a day give or take 100 for the first 4 weeks (last few days I fell off the wagon a little due to a family issue but proud to say I am back on today). I have lost over 10 inches and 5 pounds and I can tell a difference in my body and…

Eggs Benedict from Friendly's is my favorite but I would probably get oatmeal or greek yogurt right now while I am on a more strict diet.

Thank you for your comments, I exercise almost daily and I am pretty sure it my diet that I need to work on. I am going to really try and reduce my sugar intake. I hope it works!

I work for a restaurant company and we do our nutritionals AFTER the food product/meal is in its final stage, as in completely cooked, assembled and ready to serve. As far as how much it weighs before it cooks, that is what we tell the customer they are paying for, what size they actually get, is different

If you have the right wine it is the best thing in the WORLD! It is delicious and goes fantastic with foods. But you can also drink a bottle or so and get totally wasted, that is fine too. Do you drink beer because of the "Most interesting man in the world?"

I used to always be told I look like Lindsay Lohan. But now that she has changed her face and hair so much, I don't get it anymore :)

For me, if I drink coffee in the afternoons when I don't need it, it makes me hungry. I think the caffine gives me jitters which in turn makes me feel like my sugar is low and I need food. This is just my own experience.

Yolks make me sick anyway. The smell and taste for some reason. If they are in hard boiled form they don't bother me though. I try and stay away though because of the cholesterol content. One whole egg puts me over my cholesterol for the day on MFP. HIgh cholesterol runs in my family

I tried it. I am a human guniea big. It did NOT work for me. I even tried it for a prolonged period of time.

I refuse to give up wine, especially red wine. I am working on drinking it and keeping within my new macro settings. It is actually working! YAY.

1. Eggs 2. Tomatos 3. Almond Milk 4. Cheese 5. Tuna

I don't think bread is necessarily bad for people to eat, but I do think cutting it out for maximum weight loss is not a bad idea. As of last week, I cut it out, I am still eating carbs, just not so many. It also has shown me how much bread I was actually eating. I love bread, who doesnt?! I think that each person needs to…

IO! Avon, OH! West Side of Cleveland!

I eat dinner at 6 pm, so I will make my cut off at 8:30. I struggle with this so bad! Last night I had grapes and two pieces of chocolate right before bed. By committing to all of you, I will do this and hopefully, finally reach my goal!

I was just thinking about this the other day. Basically since high school graduation, 16 years ago, I weigh 14 pounds more than I did at that time. I thought about it, and really, that is not that bad!!!!!! I only ate an average of 3,500 calories a YEAR over what I needed to be where I am at today. I am not a Failure…

Tree nuts are all nuts EXCEPT for peanuts. Peanuts grow underground and all of the other nuts you eat, grow on trees. Almonds, cashews, brazils, hazelnuts, pecans, macademias, pine nuts are all tree nuts.

I am barely shy of 5'6 and I flucuate between 141 and 146. I would like to get to 136-138 and stay there for once. Since my mid 20's, I have only been back to that weight once, and I feel so perfect there. I am so focused!

Can you eat tree nuts?

I have eaten oats everyday for about a year now. I love old fashioned oats, 1/2 cup to 1 cup. Mix with water up to the top of the oats then microwave for 1-2 minutes. Add organic maple syrup or blue agave sweetner (1 tsp) and cinnamon. I can't get enough! I could eat it several times a day.

I have been doing Bar Method DVD's in Ohio for about 3 years now. I would love to have a studio here but her DVD's are great. I have a bar at my house that I bought from her website but you really don't even need it.

I didn't gain anything, I think it was because I stopped drinking for a couple of months, because drinking made me want to smoke. No matter what, if you don't eat over your calories then you won't gain, no matter if you smoke or not. No matter what, your health is priority and there is NOTHING you can do better for…

I have one day a week I eat out for dinner and I don't count the calories, but I count my calories all the way up to dinner so I have an idea where I need to be. I don't think Dr Oz means you can eat uncontrollably and its ok, sometimes people take things people say so literally. On other days, if I want a piece of cake…

I will do this! Can't wait! I seriously need to motivation and I like that we can help each other!

I agree with this. I would count your walking as activity if that's what you want to do, especially if that is all the activity you have time to do each day. You hear all the time, "take the stairs", "park far away from the store" it all adds up. When I was in college, I walked up hills, stairs, and for far walks, you had…

Thanks for sharing your success! What a great story and amazing journey! CONGRATS!
