I follow the 80/20 clean eating lifestyle you can add me

Maca, a root that belongs to the radish family, is most commonly available in powder form. Grown in the mountains of Peru, it has been called “Peruvian ginseng.” Maca’s benefits have been long valued, and has recently been popularized as a supplement and food ingredient. There are no serious known side effects of maca, but…

Greek yogurt apples maca powder vanilla powder bananas avacados My must haves are greek yogurt, avocados, bananas and spring mix

I know my addiction to carbs and sweets so I am choosing to not have them in the house, but I have the ingredients to make something if I want, so that is my scape goat, how bad do I want it...bad enough I have to make it? It is what works for me.

beans, peas have very good sources of protein as well. It is almost soup weather after all

Hey, where in Oregon did you grow up? I have lived in Oregon my whole life. Live near Salem, Oregon now, good to meet someone close to home ;)

I eat Chia seeds in EVERYTHING, salads, soups, smoothies, coatings, PUDDINGS:P they are my favorite. MY other new fab favorite HEMP seeds, and protein.

I am 290 and need to lose 140 you can add me new number I am 276 now :)

ok, off topic, how do ya'all make those quote boxes. I want to be able to copy and paste from people's post like that but don't know how?

oh orange slices. I usually do lemon and lime, but I am going to do orange next. ;)

I would be so afraid I wouldn't be able to stop, or to have portion control. I am doing so good. I don't want to blow it. I am to soon into this to "cheat" quite yet. :(

I will try that one ;)

I'll be there. I have 140 lbs to lose. add me. we can do this together :)

You can do this. You have people that will be here to support you and help you.You made the first step and that was to reach out. you can add me. I will check in with you and help support you. We can do this together :)

You can add me I am 4'11 and 274 (my new number) I am here like you for support and to support. We can do this together :)

I hear you and feel your pain. I suffer depression too and am on depression meds. I also weigh 274 (my new number) :) so I understand how hard and discouraging it can be to get motivated to do anything but eat sometimes. Sometimes all you can do is jump on here and reach out for some support and take that and go on with…

if it is working so far I say keep it up :)

I use Hemp protein powder I have been very happy with it.

Have you tried just taking a couple of tablespoons of your favorite nut butter and making something delicious. I find 2 tablespoons of sunflower or almond butter a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa and a about 10 or so semi sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of honey usually does the trick for me.

YAY, I have made the decision to eat half the grapefruit as was suggested and save half for breakfast. thank you for all the input :)

tonight I am making some bananas fried in coconut oil covered in coconut and drizzeled with honey and cinnamon I just make it fit into my daily values :)

got it, thank you verrry much. :)

still don't understand how to put the weight loss/to go. thingy on my profile :(

The other night I had severe sweet cravings, I drank extra lemon water and did some crocheting, something to keep my mind and hands busy, but if the cravings really won't go away I mix unsweetened cocoa powder with some honey and a couple of chocolate chips and it seems to do the trick, it is a small quick fix.

Motivation is my biggest enemy. I am great at the diet part, the exercise part...not so great! I could definitely use the motivation support as well.

me me me, I just keep binging and getting discouraged, I could always use support and add support :)

I will support you i have 140 pounds to lose and find walking difficult and exercise. I am 4"11 and my weight feels like it crushes me. Add me and we shall be lifestyle change buddies.:)

I would be interested indeed. I am just starting out on the clean eating lifestyle.
