I have been using MFP since April 2011 - so about 2 and a half years - so couting calories is just part of who I am right now.... Over the past year I have logged what I ate at night - rather than planned my day in the beginning, so I felt pretty confident that I had a handle on portion sizes - and the resulting calories I…

522 calories of Rice Crispies and milk ..... 522 calories of good quality protein, fat and vegetables will get you a lot more satiated - and I guaranteed you will not be starving!! Look at my diary here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/Elleinnz?date=2013-06-19 200 gram protein (7oz), butter, olive oil and 3 portions…

My hero - awesome results - and very true words!!

Great job - awesome change :-)

Coffee is a key part of my fatloss success - 3 cups a day - 115 lbs lost :-) And here is some of the magic - the key is drink good coffee - and dump all the additives http://www.charlespoliquin.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/947/Ten_Benefits_of_Coffee_for_Health_Performance_Body.aspx

This ^^^^ the key is to make sure you peel them first!! I even eat them frozen :-) like a little icicle

Chantelle you have truly walked the walk - not just talked the talk. When things slowed down you recognised it, and came back charging - I love seeing your awesome dedication - so proud to have you as one of my " kick butt" pals on here!

High five!! www.eatless-and-get-your-butt-off-the-couch.com ;-)

115 lbs lost drinking two whey protein shakes on workout days - which can be from 3 to 6 days a week!! And obviously eating at a deficit most of the time ;-)

195 to 200lbs

great job

You are totally my MFP hero Shannon - you show every day the motto " just do it!!"

No it does not need the sugar - it is your choice - I make all those salads - no sugar added and they come out fine....the key to marinating is the VINEGAR - not the sugar..... if you want some sweetness a bit of fresh citrus juice like freshly squeezed orange works really well... but like I said - it is your choice ;-)…

It sounds as if you are learning some pretty special things right now - you are gorgeous in your first pictures - but now you are also learning that looks is not everything. Big hugs, and remember to listen to those close to you - they care enough about you to never lie to you xxxx

Sweet potato , yams, cous cous, quinoa

LOL - I was born in South Africa, and now live in New Zealand - and yes - both places have apple pie and hot dogs..... Here in NZ they have a hotdog on a stick - sausage on a stick, dipped in batter and then deep fried.....you then dip it in tomato sauce (ketchup)

High fives to you - you are on your way to reaching all your goals - and you are doing it by understanding your relationship with food and emotions! Don t let anyone ever make decisions for you - you are showing you can do this!!

Shrimp stuffed eggplant - I make 4 portions - freeze them, and it makes an ideal lunch.... http://paleodietlifestyle.com/shrimp-stuffed-eggplant/ Asian cauliflower fried "rice" http://nomnompaleo.com/post/3195098303/asian-cauliflower-fried-rice Pretty much anything from nomnom Paleo, or theclothesmakethegirl (wellfed Paleo)

Your resting HR is not too bad according to this chart...... http://www.topendsports.com/testing/heart-rate-resting-chart.htm Will leave the BP "diagnosis" to someone that knows a bit more about BP..

On my nephew's one year passing on I bought my brother and sister in law two olive trees that they could plant in their garden in remembrance of Richard. He loved olives, so it was an acknowledgement that he will always be part of our lives....

Oh my - if green tea made the "weight fall off" I should be the skinniest person onMFP right now......I have been drinking about 4 to 6 cups a day for a couple of years now...... OP - the only thing that helps with the fat falling off is a calorie deficit. What green tea has going for it is that it is high in anti…

From what i know - High weight - low reps like 5x5 will be more efficient at building strength. "Lower weight" - higher reps are more efficient for fat loss..... Now you will notice the inverted commas - I still go pretty heavy - as much as I can lift / push for 12 to 15 reps. My bench presses are 90lbs for 12 -15…

^^^^^ this - I started at 320 lbs - ate around 1500, and around 50% of my exercise calories.....lost close on 2 lbs a week for the first year, and still hit a huge plateau after I had lost a 100lbs..... I now eat 2000cals a day, and slowly losing the last 30lbs..... Please don't start at 1200 - it gives you nowhere to go!!

Been following a Paleo lifestyle since Jan 2012, and loving it .... Still tracking downward slowly..... Keeping net carbs between 70 and a 100 most days... I have friends that has been Paleo for over 3 years - it is truly a lifestyle for us, and none of us view it as "non-sustainable" Every time I go non- Paleo ( when I…

Watch these.......as hard as it might be your first step should be to repair your metabolism......
