5'4" SW: 180 CW: 128 GW: 120 Eight pounds away. :) As for tips I would say logging, eating at a reasonable deficit, drinking plenty of water, not depriving myself of foods I love, and moving on from days that I've unexpectedly eaten over (no focusing on them or trying to make up my overage). Those are just things that…

Nope, I just drink water and tea throughout the day. Honestly I just prefer a large dinner and additional snacks. I'll eat lunch if I go out for it, lol I wouldn't go to a restaurant and not eat. Occasionally on the weekends a family member will make lunch and I'll eat it. For the most part I haven't been eating it though.…

Lol I usually don't eat until dinner. So I start eating at around 6-7 p.m. and I continue until I started getting ready to go in to sleep. So usually until 9-10 p.m. I eat plenty and I've been loosing weight just fine. I say eat how you like to, whatever helps you meet your goals and maintain your energy levels.

While fasting (Ramadan?) if you can count calories that would help lose more since you would be in a deficit for additional weeks. I don't think you should set a time limit on weight loss though, and 15 may be unrealistic for you. Enter your info into MFP and set your deficit. Eat within that and you will lose weight.…

Wait do you mean that you measured it dry then entered it as a cup? If so dry rice and cooked rice have a very large difference in calories per volume. I think it's like 170 calories for 1/4 cup dry so that would be 680 calories of rice. That could definitely be a factor if that's what you're doing. I may have interpreted…

Anyone can add me as well! :)

I would try some basic body weight strength training if you're uncomfortable with using weights. As far as protein goes it's actually really not too hard! :) You have access to internet obviously so if you don't know how to cook stuff you can just look it up. Some ideas as a former vegetarian (and forever poor person): -…

It's fine to use olive oil! I love sauteing some shallot in olive oil and then throwing it on top of my salads warm. Yummy! :)

From WebMD Doctors look a variety of thing to determine is you have PCOS. There is no way to have a definitive 100% diagnosis (like a blood test). A doctor has too take note of all of her symptoms as well as test results and make an educated decision to say, with a fair amount of certainty, that these things all point to…

-Chobani simply 100 greek yogurt, 12 grams protein 5 grams fiber -100 calorie microwave popcorn bags -fruit -vegetables -Quaker popped mini rice cakes, the caramel are 110 calories -deli meats (you could get 4 ounces of turkey breast or lean ham for 100 calories)

I am 5'4" 138 pounds and I wear a 2-4 usually. However I carry most of my weight in my stomach area.

Currently 137 at 5'4" and I wear a size 2/4 pants, medium top, and a size 6/8 dress. That's US sizing.

Anyone can add me! :) I'm 19 almost 20.

Sure, anyone can add me! :)

Look around and see what the locals are eating and where they are shopping. I can guarantee you that they are eating healthy staples like rice, beans, plantains, eggs, bananas, etc. You should try to focus on longer lasting staples (dry beans and grains). It may just turn out that you can't reasonably eat a salad every day…

I think whole foods has a couple of options both frozen and non. I haven't tried any though. I'm lucky though, my town has a gluten free bakery and they have a few different kinds of flatbreads. I agree with tortillas though, I am a corn tortilla enthusiast lol. :)

I prefer glass over plastic. I don't care for the staining that plastic containers get, and I find that they absorb the smells of whatever foods you put in them. Plus I hate washing them. Glass is longer lasting, easy to wash, and doesn't retain smells. :)

You can add me if you'd like. :) I love seeing people's progress!

I just put the cooked meal directly into the container that I'll store the leftovers, well put the container on the scale, tare it, and then weigh and calculate serving amounts. Usually I just put the servings as the amount of grams the cooked food weighs and then weigh my portion and enter the serving as the amount of…

Greek yogurt, eggs, popcorn, deli meats, peanut butter on rice cakes (add banana too!), fruit, protein bar/shake, string cheese, nuts, veggies and dip (hummus, salsa, etc.), salad (can make a large one for under 150 calories easily), granola bars, etc. I also will snack on things like beans or make a smaller version of a…

This! :smile: I would just go with what sounds good to you. You could always just eat half of it.

I love my fitbit one! It's very motivating! I use it in conjunction with my polar heart rate monitor. I do have to say that it underestimates my calories burned by about 250 a day. Despite that, I just take note of that when logging, I would recommend a fitbit! I agree with just going with the fitbit zip though. Really…

I would actually go with the Apple watch on this one. My fitbit underestimates my calories by about 250 a day as well. I'm a 5'4" female so I could definitely see a larger underestimation for you.

Wow, great job!!! :)

You can add me if you'd like! :) I also have Celiac Disease, and I'm currently working on my last 20 pounds.

Large Wendy's chili for 250 calories :)

Going on 2 years since my celiac diagnosis, the gluten envy has yet to go away. Although I'll say it's not nearly as bad as it was in the beginning.

Feel free to add me. I love the Tina star by the way. :) lol

Anyone can add me if they would like! :)
