I usually will have a snack like a protein bar or drink beforehand. I'm usually hungry after a work out, so I save the meals until afterwards.

I do agree that once I get closer to goal, that I will have to up my calories. I have had a steady weightloss for 5 months (at least 2 to 3 pounds a week) and still have 47 more pounds to lose. I'm not really close and so far, what I'm doing is working. If I do stall, of course I will look in to changing things up. :-)

I'm eating better...eating more protein rich foods which therefore keeps me full longer. I honestly don't think it's how much you eat, but WHAT you eat. I used to eat extremely unhealthy and probably easily ate 3000 calories a day. It did take some adjusting(for me, it was about 3 days) to get used to it, but now I'm…

I never understood why people say they feel like they are starving on 1200 calories. I feel completely satisfied, eat every 2 hours, and always stay within my calorie range. PLUS, I've lost 68 pounds doing this for 5 months. I guess this just goes to show you that really everyone is different!

Sounds like fun! I'm currently in the process of doing the couch to 5k program. You might want to try that! I think the site is www.coolrunning.com

Sounds good! Totally in!

First challenge on MFP! Excited! I currently weigh 196 and would like to weigh, at the most, 172 pounds by the end of the challenge (that will get me out of the obese range and into the overweight BMI range...yay!). That's a total of a 24 pound loss! Mini Goal Weights: 5/7-187 (minus 9 pounds) 6/4-178 (minus 9 pounds)…

South Jersey also! Salem County!

I actually think that's cute in a cheesy way! lol

"Can I be your friend?" Sounds innocent here, but was completely creepy in real life.

I'm in week 5 in the couch to 5k program. I've run outside 3 times now. I think the trick is when you are first starting, to run as SLOW as you possibly can. Running is still running! I run 3 times a week, and am aiming to run outside at least once a week. I will admit the first and third time was the hardest. I think I…

I grab my greek yogurt when I'm leaving home and eat it when I get to work (around 8:30).

Absolutely! Unfortunately, they have all been creeps!

Proactiv has a body wash. I don't have that issue and I've never used it, but I have a friend who has!

Well, I NEVER blow dry my hair. I used to live right next door to where I worked and would often go in with wet hair. My hair usually dried by the time I had to start waiting on customers. However, my supervisor did say something and also said that it was unprofessional. I didn't agree since the customers never saw my hair…

Oh I forgot to mention I'm also trying to stay away from carbs. I have completely cut bread and pasta out of my diet. That's probably why I'm feeling so restricted! :-/
