This is just an observation...but have you watched the biggest loser? I notice that they always drop a ton of weight the first week, then little to nothing the second week, then it picks up again after that. I would imagine it's just your body adjusting. Don't be discouraged...keep going :)

I don't have recipes handy at the moment, but maybe something with beans or white fish? Very low in fat

Pizza and decadent sweets!

It's a mystery to me We have a greed with which we have agreed And you think you have to want more than you need Until you have it all, you won't be free Society, you're a crazy breed I hope you're not lonely without me When you want more than you have, you think you need And when you think more than you want, your…

I usually eat the chicken breast on its own, but then use the dark meat for a curry (so good) and the little leftover bits are great in a quesadilla with peppers.

135. I've been as low as 139 before and still had quite a bit of chub on me. I'm 5'7

You could start adding foods with high calories but low density in your stomach (nuts, avocado etc) if you find that you have been getting too full to eat your full calorie allotment. But that might be a challenge with your macros because these foods are higher in fat

I agree, almost impossible to answer....my pick would be Let It Be by the Beatles

I'm apple shaped. I've lost 30 lbs and experienced the same thing early in my weigh loss. Like someone above said, it's not actually getting bigger, it just appears bigger, or more jiggly. My stomach was fat and almost firm. When I started to lose weight it looked worse for awhile, flabbier, even though it was smaller.…

If you didn't eat dinner today then on a normal day you should have no trouble consuming all your calories, right? If you weren't hungry today due to late lunch, don't worry about it. Or you can save your calories for later in the week. Or you can have a small, calorie dense snack like nuts

Yes!

I eat them for regularity as well. Works great! Also they are high in omega 3's

I realized I'm going to be really busy the next few months and knew that I had to change something if I wanted to keep up with my evening exercise schedule. So I asked myself, what is the one thing that is likely to get me off track. For me it was being disorganized about dinner -needing to eat fairly soon after arriving…

If I had that schedule I'd focus primarily on diet and try to multitask with the exercise ie. walking outside with a friend (socializing/fresh air/exercise) or if you have kids, playing an active game like wii (quality time with kids/exercise). Just my opinion though, everyone's different.

Pizza is my fave and I like all the kinds so making it less calorific is no disappointment to me. If I was looking to shave off a few calories I'd get a veggie or something with ham and veg (rather than pepperoni/sausage).

Exercise, especially when starting something new, can cause water retention. It doesn't mean that you aren't getting smaller/losing fat. I can relate to being motivated by the number going down on the scale, but the most important thing is fat loss right? BTW last week I was working out and lost 1 lb. This week I was sick…
