greek yogurt cottage cheese eggs/egg whites (you can drink egg whites) meats (red meats are higher in fat, so depending on your numbers, you may not like red meat) (pork, turkey, chicken, steak, tuna, salmon) Jerky Pepporoni Peanut Butter (again, fatty, check out PB2) Milk (I usually use milk to hit carbs though)

Carbs are your friend!!! #eatallthecarbs Balance is key!

Multi meals a day is not what will get you abs. What will get you abs is eating in a defict. Most people eat way more than they think, because they are not weighing their food. Make sure you are eating protein as well! Many people "diet" but then really lack in protein.

I love adding avocado to my daily intake. I also started to eat regular greek yogurt and almonds.

My cut is 1760... Kind of feeling sad for all the people that can't eat! I feel like I don't get enough at almost 1800 a day! LOL 5'3 female here too

Depends on the day. Sometimes within 30 minutes, other days by noon

Fruit are carbs, and some fruit are very high in carbs btw. I would totally recommend checking out IIFYM. This has changed my life! Weight loss is super slow, however, my body is recomping and I have never been so proud of how my body is becoming to look! Feel free to ask me any questions, I can try to help!

Totally hate the mindset that women need to lift only light weights to get in shape.

If you just started weighing, your body could be adjusting as well. I personally follow macros, and when I changed mine, I gained 5 pounds until about week 3, then I started to "thin" down. Take measurements as well. I have been losing about .5lb a week to nothing a week, but my progress has been amazing. I would spend the…

Things that make me LOL for diet advice You can only eat up to 1200 a day to lose weight. Carbs are bad and same person then says they will only eat fruit and veggies... LOL Fat free is good for you. Don't eat sugar

Can you do something before work? I used to run in the mornings. I personally am at a desk 10 hours a day, and have 40 minute commute (one way) so I am sitting like 11 hours a day. I take time in the evening to make sure to work out. I personally go to gym more, mainly to make up a lot of the seditary through the week.

I know that you just add all of your food for the day as one meal, do you find that easier to chart? I am thinking about going to more a charting like that.

Great job! You lost weight, but gained so much more!

Decorations

I used to be all about Halloween, but this year I am just not feeling it. I literally just had to overnight costumes for my boys - they arrive today. I am really looking forward to Christmas! I can't wait! I just love the holiday! Decorations, giving. YAY

Just another great example that IIFYM works!!! Congratulations on your amazing transformation, both with your physical and knowledge.

I ADDED a food scale to my routine. I ADDED working out in the mornings, no matter how tired I am.

Good luck with the baby making! My advice, get on a program and stick to it, to include once you get knockered up :) I am obese myself, and what is working for me is weighing my food. I can see my body changing!

My recommendations: Get a scale, weigh your food. You will be surprised just how much you are actually consume. Guestimates will only end up in eating more than you think. Find out what you TDEE is. Just because society is brain washed to think that 1200 calories is the only route to lose weight, doesn't mean it is true.…

Just throwing this fact out there. When I upped my calories to around 1700 on work out days, my clothes started to fall off me! The weight was just falling off. Do not be afraid of food. The issue with a lot of mind sets is that less means more. This is not true. I recommend finding out what your personal TDEE is, and make…

If you start a lifting routine and some HiiT, I bet you could lose some of that belly fat. (Or fat in general). My waist and arms are the last to lose, however, they do flatten some. Belly fat is a lot of diet, but gym time helps too. Not eating does not get us the results we want. Also, by dropping that low, you might see…

Check out if it fits your macros. This type of eating allows for more "cheats" than the normal eating plan. I personally try to keep around 80% clean and 20% not clean. My body is changing, and I really am enjoying the changes. IF I want icecream, I can have it. Does this mean I eat broccoli and chicken rest of day,…

I just started here, but they seem to have a program. They do post the work out of the day. Yesterday the owner was explaining the program they are on now, unfortunately, I am still new to crossfit, so not all the terms "sink" in for me. Here is their website, they post the WOD as well. http://www.devildoggcrossfit.com/

^^ THIS!! Thank god I was just the bride's maid, but still, it was BAD! I then referred to pictures from a year ago, 3 sizes smaller than I am now. I am over it. Also, being tired.

I need to lose about 50. I am started following iifym, would love some more people for support!

I had Paige do mine. I had to tweak it a bit, my work outs have been way short lately, so I used the online calulator.

I completely agree with you. I am already losing inches in my waist, and have SEEN women's progress PROVING this can work. It is not far fetched at all, you are weighing your food so you don't guestimate your serving size. Because guess work = extra calories, that over a week can turn into HUGE amounts. You still have to…

I hate that MFP pushes the 1200 calorie diet. Society is so stuck that the only way to lose is to starve. I learned the hard way that working out and starving only led to minimal weight loss. When I upped my daily calories to 1500-1600, the weight began to FALL off!! I personally have gone up and down with my weight. I try…
