Peppers and onions in tomato sauce with a load of spices :* One of my favorites which stared off as a substitute for pasta :#

I have tried over a dozen of them in high school. All of them claimed to work, some natural, even that fda approved one. They're just a waist of money. I'm down 12 lbs right now because of upping my protein, sticking to my calories and walking a mile a day. It's tedious but the scale doesn't lie. Good luck!!

Go ask a doctor in case it's something serious. Everyone's different and any medical conditions should be seen by a doctor. Good luck!

My problem is stress eating. I'll do great until the stress hits and then BAM, an entire box of cereal down. I don't even like cereal! :s What's been helping me? Water. Sounds crazy but apparently, water's pretty freaking important. Also Vit. D. My doctor said mine was extremely low. Since I've been taking that I've had…

I'm the same way! Music helps. :) Good luck!!

He's on a diet too. When we don't refill his plate, he chews it up then lays on what's left like maybe we'll change our minds. lol. <3 :D <3

I love hearing these kinds of story. It's inspiring! :) You look great!

Red, Orange and yellow peppers with onions and organic garlic. Chopped green olives and chopped cucumber. Feta cheese on top. It was really good :)

Emotional eating is the hardest to conquer. I'm the same way. When I'm stressed or angry or upset, I go right for food. :( I haven't figured out how to beat it yet but I'm having a good couple of weeks so... :# Maybe see if your health insurance covers a therapist?

Go to the doctor!! Don't get advice from an internet forum :o Severe head pain can be too many things, you need tests. :/

BLT - Morning Star bacon, baby spinach, tomato and mayo on multi-grain bread with fried Brussels sprouts. Delicious!

Dairy has tryptophan in it which is good for mood swings and may help you sleep. :) I drink dairy pure because it doesn't have growth hormones or antibiotics but to each their own. :) http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefits-l-tryptophan-6668.html

I'm starting again too. Last year was down 21 lbs but it all went to hell the last few months. I'm a stress eater. I've started again (Jan) and I'm down 9.4 as of today. I'm trying. I'm happy to add friends :)

They brought home pizza. I planned to have one slice but with all the stress going on this month I caved and had more. I even yelled at myself as I was eating it. :( Believe it or not I lost 21 lbs last year. Gained almost all of it back. I'm an emotional eater and I haven't found a way to beat it. Back on the eating…

I'm having the same problem. I have no willpower so I do the shopping, getting healthy foods. Other people in my house bring in all sorts of snacks. :/ I asked them not to, told them how I felt. Nothing works. I need more willpower but so far it hasn't worked out. :(

Brownies from scratch with emoji walnuts that I dropped just after taking the picture... :( :'(

Homemade spinach pizza <3 <3 :#

This thread helped, thanks! I eat strict for a month or so and then cave, horribly. (Like yesterday. It wasn't pretty. :s ) Maybe a cheat day once a week will help or even once every two weeks. :)

Thanks for this thread. I'm also sitting a lot at work but this is great advice! :*

I've been having the same issue to increase my protein while being a vegetarian. I started drinking Whey Protein with milk (which has a nice dose of protein). Good luck!!

This! I can't believe how much the cravings went down when I started increasing my protein. Good luck!! :)

I love my family. LOVE them <3 but my mother always goes overboard for Christmas. I mention I'd like a fish tank a few years ago. Even showed her which one I wanted. A cute little 10 gallon tank. Maybe pick out a few things to put it in. Christmas morning, I wake up to this huge gift, covered in a sheet. She got me a 50…

Please be careful with fitbits. I gave my mother one for her birthday. She loved it. A few months later she went for a dr app and he sent her to a heart dr because she had an extra heartbeat and palpitations. Lots of testing later, she took off the fitbit and went for the same tests. They couldn't find the extra beat and…

Yes, yes, I had a bad day. And I'm feeling miserable for it. Thank you for this!!! <3

I'm in the same ship as far as protein. Being a vegetarian I find it hard to get my intake. The best I've come up with is beans, nuts, fish and eggs or milk (depending on what kind of vegetarian you are). I try to add one of these to every meal. The no carb is really freaking hard. I'm going with low carb instead.…

Down 1 lb :smiley:

Ten minutes of aerobics done! Maybe a walk later. How'd you do today?

I'm a little late but I'm in too (8 lbs). I did great yesterday with nutrition but no exercise. I'm going to change that today. How are you all doing? Let's stay positive! :smiley:

I'm not a morning eater either. I eat 'breakfast' near 10 or 11 and 'lunch' around 2 or 3 and 'dinner' around 6 or 7. Eating that early just doesn't agree with everyone. *Shrugs* Hope this helps! Good luck!
