You beauties have inspired me to take a "before" pict and get going!! Hope I can look half as good as you!

You had me at "cheesecake"... Also, my diary is open. Mostly unprocessed foods, still playing with calories/macros; currently trying to eat more fat and fewer carbs, with a decent amount of protein.

It could be too much fruit (and not enough fat) - I've been known to just eat fruit for meals in the summer. I'll watch that. Thanks!

I'd love a twin! CW: 171 lbs GW: 145-150 lbs H: 5'11" chica Age: 31 Determined to eat healthily and improve my fitness level as I'm woefully out of shape right now. I want to be able to ENJOY hiking again, not feel like I'm going to die on the side of a mountain!

I mix cottage cheese in with my porridge; holds me for a few hours!

I would like to join! I was going to do my own 12-week thing but this would be better!

GREAT thread! I have mini boobs (barely an A cup), so I need to develop my other *kitten*-ets! :bigsmile:

3 compliments from random strangers in 3 days: 1) A man walking passed flashed me a huge smile and said, "Hi, beauty! You are SO cute!" 2) I walked past a man smoking a cigarette and he said, "You have fun tonight! You look great!" 3) A guy actually pulled over and stopped me as I was walking home from work. I thought he…

I've lost "a human's skin".... Eww. Goal: a tire.

In! In! In! That is EXACTLY my weight loss goal/timeline!!!

I have had a problem with binge eating for years, too. I try to force myself to go for a walk - the activity helps curb the urge to eat, eat, eat!! Gets rid of that restless feeling. When a walk isn't possible or desirable (it's REALLY late, it's pouring, it's -40, it's +40, etc), I drink some carbonated water. I add a…

Crustless spinach quiche with pepper and low-fat cheese on top. Or, when I'm out of quiche, plain Greek yogurt with fruit or berries and hemp hearts. Sometimes, and I know this is weird because everyone tells me so: oatmeal, cottage cheese, and ground flax. Although, lately, I've been eating this for dinner, which is…

CLIF bar (they taste like cookies, seriously). LARABAR (also taste amazing, and you will be awed by the ingredient list). Greek yogurt with berries and hemp hearts (my usual, because I throw frozen berries on top of the yogurt and it keeps it cool enough over the course of the day that I don't need to bother with an ice…

I DO THIS TOO!! I make mine with cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and/or kale, celery, onions, and sometimes a 1/4 cup of tomato paste and some hot pepper flakes.

As above. Besides, Guinness has fewer calories than ales/lagers....WIN-WIN!!!!

I didn't realize I'd gained weight, mostly because I loathe pants (skirts are sneaky like that - they just sit a bit higher up when you gain weight, so you don't realize....sweaters are sneaky, too - they just stretch....and don't even get me started on loose tops....). THEN, I went to go skiing a few weeks ago and....my…

Have you seen a physiotherapist?

Like others said, you have to cut carbs to keep the calories down. You'd be surprised how many grams of carbs you can get eating a ton of veggies. Even one meal a day where you eat nothing but veggies and protein will make a big difference. Personally, I'd ditch the protein bars. They are glorified candy bars (complete…

Hi! I was going to start a "tall girl" thread, and then I found this!! 5'11.75" (I count EVERY bit of every inch!) and 164 lbs. Body fat: 26% (ick). Trying to get down to 140 lbs, or whatever weight I end up at if - when!! - I actually become fit. I'm going to make my diary public; would love some friends!
