I agree with the above, I usually keep bags of frozen veggies which are inexpensive and just take what I'm going to use, mix it up with chicken and spices, some veggie stock and maybe sweet potato, rice on the side..salads are good too, you can basically add anything and make it fit your daily intake, such as avocado,…

Same here! I'm determined to get back on track without saying no to the things I like..it's better for a long-term solution.

From what you wrote, I guess you're eating at 1200 calories except days when you workout, on which you count by the TDEE method, right? Don't lower your calories beyond 1200 because that's just going to cause problems for you later on if you stall on your weight loss again and run out of options to prompt it forward…

yes! found a guy's phone at a festival and returned it with great expectations -they were crushed! HYE dated two people from the same group of friends?

Hey! Sort of similar with ya, not exactly twins ;) I'm: 5'7" (175cm), 22 years old, female HW 147.7 (67kg) CW 136.6 (62) Goal weight 125.6 (57) I want to substitute my fat for muscle, so the goal weight is actually me being skinny with no muscle, so the final result will vary and I don't mind at all. Body fat %? No idea!

you can make something a bit more complicated but filling by boiling some cauliflower, draining it and breaking it up, then mix it with the egg whites, pepper, powdered garlic and salt and then making an omelette (you can add some baking powder for it tu fill up a bit)..it turns out a bit like a 'spanish omelette' of sorts

Weekends have always been my setback, especially last year. I'd go a whole week clean eating and attending the gym, only to reach friday and throw it all away. Drinking hard alcohol+dining at a restaurant was bad enough, but then saturday, sleep-deprived and with a hangover, there's no way I'd be going to the gym, and my…

If you're eating the necessary amounts of each food group and nutrients, it should go back to normal..but if your calorie intake is pretty low than yes, it might affect your cycle. I only noticed mine going a bit off course once when I restricted carbs too much, but dieting in general hasn't affected me noticeably. Hope it…

I'm adding you too! It's been about a year now with MFP, and I've had my ups and downs but I know it worked best for me when I did this with other people! I'm signing up this week at the gym, and I'm all set to get back at it :)

Listen to your body! If it craves milk, then have milk.

I love adding spinach or kale to my smoothies to get my daily veggies in, but if you don't like the texture leave them out - as for the taste, you won't notice it! Substitute milk for water, orange juice or coconut water (gives it a really nice flavour). The best fruits are bananas (adds great texture), strawberries,…

@CariS001 loved your info, thanks so much!!

Just what I was about to say! Compound movements are great because you work several groups of muscles at once. Try different burpees adding weights, squats...pistols squats are good too, plus they are a pretty hard workout! Congrats on your weight loss!

Hey! Not exactly the same, but prey close.. Age: 22 Height: 175 cm / 5'7 CW: 61.9kg / 136.4 GW: 57kg / 125.6

Pasta is by no means bad or fattening. The sauce or extras you put on it, might. It could get you fat if you eat too much of it, or too frequently, but what you are suggesting is perfectly okay..just make sure you have one serving, and that it fits into your daily macros. It's important that you try and cook healthier…

Keeping yourself busy is always a good idea! When I binge, it's because I'm pretty much procrastinating or bored, which gives me the chance to start thinking about food, and thus crave unhealthy stuff. If you feel you're going to start, try leaving your house (and carrying an appropriate snack with you is a good idea too).

Bump !!

Hey Anna! I've got a similar problem, vacations are coming close and I don't feel confident enough about my body image, but feeling sorry for myself is not going to get me where I want to be. Eating right and exercising enough, on the other hand, will! But the key here is not to obsess about it, I've come to realise that…

DO oatmeal! I have it almost everyday for breakfast, and then keep it low carb (relatively) the rest of the day...it's just a matter of getting your meals organised! Oatmeal has endless options, and they're all so good! Apple-cinnamon, banana-chocolate, strawberries and shredded coconut, "carrot cake"oatmeal, peanut…

Hi there! I'm always on the lookout for more friends...sharing my thoughts and reading about other people's fitness journey helps me keep up my motivation, plus I'm more accountable this way. I'm a 22 year old student trying to balance a healthy lifestyle with college..not always easy, but I do love keeping fit!!

egg+egg white omelette (you'll get double the protein!) and I add spinach and shredded cheese, plus a side of ham greek yoghurt with nuts or a bit of muesli + strawberries, banana.. scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and cottage cheese

Same here! I'm 22 and trying to get the body I want for this summer! I love MFP because it helps me keep accountable, share my progress with friends and encourage others...feel free to add me :)

wow that's awesome, impressive work!

Hi! You sound so much like me..I've been successfully following the same tips you've listed for about 4 months now, but left for a short holiday trip and relapsed. When I came back on Monday, I kept on overeating thinking 'I've already messed up'..but I'm over with it! I've been so much happier these past few months…

Hey! I've been on MPF for awhile now, but only recently started taking it seriously. For me, consistency in my workouts is a problem too, especially because I travel a lot so I'd be thankful for the mutual support! Aaand the late night snacking is an issue too lol

I lost weight and then gained it back plus a bit more so yeah, I know what you're talking about! And now I'm back on track hoping to be able to look okay in a bikini for summer 2014, feel free to add me -and anyone else! :)

Hey Chrissy! I've been logging in for less than 3 weeks and can sure use another friend for motivation, add me! :)

Hey! I'm 22 and have also been up and down the scale for two years now -but not anymore! Feel free to add me for some motivation!

Hey! I'm also starting the same process too, and feel that group motivation is really helpful when I'm having a setback (which happens often) -add me if you want! :)
