I would set a goal of 5%-10% weight loss... which is realistic for a September timeline. I also saw a cool thing online that I want to try too: You have 2 jars, one with marbles in the amount of what pounds you want to lose and you move them to the other jar as you lose them. Maybe something visual like that will help to…

I eat 3 meals and then a snack or 2.

My favorite smoothies are kale mixed with pineapple, mango and or papaya, and a little coconut water. Another favorite is kale mixed with blueberries and peaches and 1/2 of a banana for a little sweetness. I use about 2-3 cups kale, and 1/2-1 cup each of fruit chopped up. I eat these smoothies pretty regularly and noticed…

Oatmeal doesn't do crap for me either. No matter what I put on it or mix in it, I'm always hungry pretty quickly after eating!! I like to make overnight oats. Those will keep me a little more full, think it's the greek yogurt in them. Give those a try. They are super easy and tasty. My favorite using cherry yogurt and…

Just eat like you normally would within your calories, but instead of pre-packed food, try to use as much fresh as you can and cook meals. Go to the library and pick up a couple cookbooks to help you with ideas within your calorie range. I started to do this a few months ago, and I felt a lot better and had a lot more…

Hot damn! Thanks for THAT one!! :)

I would start with learning portion control and eating balanced, then gradually make changes. Before you know it, you are eating less packaged food and more fresh, natural food. It's definitely a lifestyle change you cannot make in a short time. It will probably take a few to several months to figure out what will work for…

I talked to my doctor about this one time because I was eating 1 egg almost daily and he told me that having 4-5 yolks a week is ok, as long as you don't have any health conditions that they would be bad for (ie high cholesterol). Just like anything, moderation. If you want to have multiple ones in a meal, maybe use a…

I'm a Procurement & Cost Analyst, and I sit at a desk most of the day. I pack my breakfast and lunch and don't keep food in my desk, so I'm usually on track at work. I try to pack everything the night before so I'm not fumbling and running around in the morning. A little prepping and planning makes life soooo much easier.…

A high protein, low calorie breakfast helps me personally with junk food cravings. When I eat in the morning, I'm usually good until lunch time and I don't even think about junk food around mid-afternoon slump. My body is definitely trained after several months of portion control using weight watchers and mfp. Chances are…

If you are looking to do a running program, I just completed a 9 week on called "Couch to 5K". It's a series of walk/run workouts that helps you to either run for a full 30 minutes or a 5K. I had a lot of success with it, and I was starting from ground zero when it comes to running. It's 3 workouts a week and they start…
