Fiber rich fruits and vegetables should do the trick....... For me personally, eating an apple will usually hold me over until dinner. :)

Thank you all for your replies. I'm used to doing things the "weight Watchers" way... so the calorie counting method is new to me. While weight watchers did have great results for me (lost 115 lbs so far) it got too expensive for the membership and what not. Now I just need to lose the rest of the weight.

I wasn't suggesting that all of my gain would be from muscle.. I misspoke if I implied that. I do know that I am able to increase the amount of weight I am able to handle on various exercises. For example, Weighted calf raises, I started out doing about 80 lbs and within 2 weeks I was able to do about 140 lbs.... the hip…

Thanks for all of your replies. I don't purposely "Not" eat, I just feel so full and satisfied when I workout. It's when I DON'T go to the gym that I eat like a crazy person LOL.

It's funny, because when I did both cardio and strength training a while back, I would do my warm up, then do strength training and do my cardio after, only because it felt like I had more energy and I could push myself harder LOL. It's good to know that I wasn't doing things a** backwards

Should I be eating back the entire 1000 that I burn?

I agree with this. I don't think the ad was singling any particular one out but think about it this way: For ages, you only see thin woman who are airbrushed and that is what is considered "sexy, beautiful or even normal" They put out this ad with not only larger woman but also thin woman and non of them are airbrushed.…

I am sending you a personal message. I have done weight watchers in the past.. I lost 115 lbs... (I gained 25 of it back, but now want to finish losing the rest of it)

I sometimes forget to post back to a comment on my status, only because I don't get any sort of alert that I got a comment :( I think that is something MFP should add.. alerts are good LOL

I try to plan my week based off of what is currently on sale at the store.

Welcome and good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to learn to take it one day at a time.. and not worry about 5 months from now.... It's hard to think that way.... but I know it will make things a LOT easier :)

I need the support.... I can't seem to stay motivated. "Life" seems to get in the way, but I can't keep making that excuse. It's time to play hard LOL

Thank you! :) It was tough the first time LOL.... but I'm ready for the challenge this time so that I can finish what I started :)
