i hope you enjoy it! i used to work in a shopping mall where i'd eat Panera bread EVERY morning, have lunch at panda express, charley's, sbarro, mall food, then have a bubble tea and usually a cookie (or 2) from the cookie stand. once i left the mall i learned how to make easy, fast, yummy food and i feel much better and…

i will definitely be trying this. while i appreciate "asmcriminals" advice, there's no way i can hit 1400 cals a day and keep my carbs under 75. my goal weight is actually 115-110, so i have quite a way to go. i'm trying to get into a healthy weight range for my height, which is about 130lbs-95 lbs i believe. i will add…

which ones do you recommend i cut back on? i could take the granola out of breakfast, but looking at my diary most of my higher carb items (lately) have been fruit. any ideas for what the take out and what to make substitutions with?

and i agree with an above posts suggestions to add greek yogurt, some nuts, maybe some nut butters. also, some midmeal snacks would be good. i usually go for a piece of fruit myself, or some veggies and hummus or salsa. i love chicken salad sandwiches, but on lower cal days i'll add some avocado slices on the bread or even…

have you tried making eggs in the microwave? it's SUPERFAST and easy. this is actually really popular in japan. you could even by egg beaters or any other kind of liquid eggs and it'd be even faster. plus having some veggies cut & ready to go is helpful. i enjoy spinach, tomatos, mushrooms, and a little cheese in my eggs.…

you know, i think this is true. ever since i switch from cereal to greek yogurt, fruit & granola for breakfast i have noticed some changes in my PCOS. it's nice, and it's a great motivator for me to keep eating healthy because even if i'm not yet getting the weight loss results i want, i'm getting healthier, which is the…

are you eating your calorie goals for the day? also, with the amount of calories you burn working out, you might need to eat MORE. you body will hang onto fat if it feels "deprived". (ie burning lots of calories but not eating enough) try adding a few healthy snacks. maybe apple slices with some peanut butter, a banana,…

my diary is open, feel free to check it out! some of my favorites: greek yogurt (brown cow vanilla is my favorite) bear naked fit vanilla almond granola brown rice (i'll cook enough to feed myself 3-4 days, a very versatile food) whole grain bread pre-washed mixed baby greens (great for salads or to toss on sandwiches)…

switch up your workouts! like a previous poster said, as you loose lbs, you'll have to "re-tone". muscle memory is probably to blame. your muscles might not be challenged by your current workouts. you might want to try a new fitness class, or try some machines you don't normally use, and up the amount of reps you do. as…

1) it very well could be muscle. invest in a nice tape measure and start taking measurements so you will know. 2) you may not be eating ENOUGH to meet your metabolism's needs, and your body is hanging onto fat, rather then burning it. try eating more healthy, non-processed foods more often. (for me this means greek yogurt…

another tip, for a week or two, weigh every morning and see what foods are sending the scale up and what is helping it go down, that way you can eliminate things a little more educatedly. once you notice a pattern in certain ups and downs in combination with your food diary, you can get rid of whatevers holding you back…

[/quote] In my diary, I am being completely honest, as I said before I am a very weird eater. My milk for my cereal gets counted as 1 cup under my drinks, and no I dont eat anything with the fries. If I eat how I normally have been for years I barely make it to 1200 calories a day because all i'll eat is apples and carrots…

alright, let me be real with you for a minute, because i think you and i have a similar problem. processed food stops weight loss. your body doesn't recognize it, and can't digest it, so instead, it just stores it. it also seems you may not be filling your diary out completely honestly, or do you really eat your cereal…

not eating, especially skipping breakfast, preps your body for the rest of the day. your metabolism will slow if you don't eat because it's not needed. it's important to eat something within about 20 minutes of waking up. you can keep breakfast and lunch light, but its important that you have them, or else you're shooting…

mini wheats D: i miss them sometimes, but it's not worth it. i'd much rather have yogurt and fruit and granola or some egg white with parmesan and tomatoes and spinach then a simple bowl of cereal.
