My husband called me fat during a fight. I know he didn't intend to be so mean, but it hurt me so much.

I take a prenatal vitamin because hubby and I are planning to start trying for baby #1 in a few months. Before I was taking a women's multivitamin. I am going to my doctor soon and will ask about any other supplements I should be taking.

Nuts are good for you, just make sure to control your serving! I always measure mine out unless I would eat the whole package :P

I totally agree with you! Butter is a more natural choice than processed margarine and vegetable oil. I personally think butter is easier for my body to digest than margarine. Humans have been eating animal fats for FOREVER, but these vegetable oils are only a recent discovery. I wonder what our bodies are thinking when we…

I'm not a vegetarian but I really don't eat much meat. I rely on eggs, beans, quinoa and greek yogurt for my protein. Most days, I exceed my protein goal. Honestly, I enjoy these non-meat protein sources much more than meat. As for iron, I take a women's multivitamin every morning.

I'm in the same situation...I've lost about 20lbs and not gone down a jean size. Sure, my size 10 jeans fit looser, but I'm definitely not ready to rock a size 8 (just a little bit too tight). I think I've lost a lot of weight in other places and my body is hoarding the fat around my hips, thighs and butt. I'm just going…

I don't eat much red meat at all,I have a steak maybe once a month and a burger every couple months if I am craving it (sometimes I feel as if I am low on iron I crave red meat). Ground beef upsets my tummy a good bit of the time, especially in taco meat or spaghetti sauce. I'm not really much of a meat eater. I can go a…

That happened to my friend when she first started off. She didn't lose weight because she was gaining muscle. The only way she could tell she was actually losing was by the way her clothes fit and her waist and hip measurements.

My goal weight right now is 150 (I'm 7 lbs away), but I think I want to get down to 140. And who knows after that, I'm just going by how I look and feel. I've got pretty wide hips so I don't know how I would look at 130.

I had one of those scales, but it broke. But before I started losing weight my stats were: 5'8 178 lbs Body Fat: 29.1% Muscle Mass: 35.2% Water percentage: 50-52%, I think? I never really paid attention to it. My BMI was somewhere in the 26's I would really like to see what it says now!

I love sweet potatoes. I eat one at least once a week. They may have alot of calories but they are pretty filling! I can make a dinner out of that and some steamed veggies :)

I've heard Palmers works for some people, but I am currently having a severe allergic reaction to it. So if you try it, test on your arm first.

I have lost 20lbs and not gone down a size at all. I wear a size 10, my jeans do fit looser though. I have wide hips and really the lowest I could probably fit into anyways is an 8, maybe a 6 who knows. Plus my body likes to hoard fat at my hips, butt and thighs...it will probably be the last thing to go! I'm definitely…

I am having lean cuisine spring rolls. I would usually have a salad and a variety of other things but I'm sick and I needed something quick and easy.

I'm 24, 5'8 and 158 lbs and recently married. I've lost about 20lbs since mid-May wahoo! I love to cook, bake, shop, draw and play guitar. I work at a children's hospital where I am training to be a cytogenetic technologist (I look at the chromosomes of newborns, children and cancer patients, really interesting job). Feel…

I am counting calories and eating healthier. I make sure to get at least five servings of fruits and veggies everyday. Veggies, beans and whole grains will give you a lot of volume and fill you up with not many calories. For example, for the amount of calories in a 100 calorie cookie I can eat about 50 baby carrots for the…

Oh yes! I usually don't weigh myself during that week. It's misleading.

I have the same problem at work. My boss keeps bringing in huge bags of candies from Sam's Club! I keep dark chocolate hershey's kisses in my desk to distract me from the bad candy. They are 20 calories a piece, so you can have 1 or 2 and feel satisfied without feeling guilty :) Plus dark chocolate is filled with…

My scale broke. It was one of the best things that happened in my journey so far. I still weigh myself weekly on the Wii-Fit, but with the scale I weighed myself several times daily. I was obsessed! I do miss keeping track of my body fat and muscle percentage though!

I love grilled zucchini. I cut them into long strips and brush them with olive oil! So good!!!

For low calorie beers I like Miller Chill (100 calories) and Mich Ultra. I'd definitely rather have a Guinness though...

The eliptical is my favorite machine! It definitely takes getting used to, I started for 15 minutes and then worked my way up. The only issue I have with the eliptical is that my toes go numb after using it for over 30 minutes. It's weird, I probably need new shoes. I bought my eliptical from a used sports equipment place…

Way to go, you look great!

I'm worried about going through that when I reach my goal weight. I think the trick is to do it slowly. Maybe add a spoonful of natural peanut butter with breakfast or if you have fruit for a snack add some yogurt. Just small changes to meals and snacks will make it easier. Definitely don't do it all at once, or you will…

I love lima beans...and all beans for that matter!!! Love the taste and especially the texture! I eat a serving of kidney beans everyday at lunch, it's one of my diet "secrets" :) They keep you so full!

Ugh I know! I ate at Texas De Brazil this weekend and the meat was SO salty I could hardly stand it! I am salt sensitive, so it is very good I'm developing a dislike for salty foods. My blood pressure is usually a little high when I go to the doctor, but when I went today (first time since starting my new eating habits) it…

Awesome! I keep a can of almonds in my desk, it's a great snack!

5'8 158 lbs. Wear a size 10 in pants and a M-L in shirts (depends on the top, I am a 36D)

I self-diagnosed my anxiety shortly before my wedding last year. My fiance and I were going to the mall and we decided to park inside the parking garage and I pretty much flipped out. I've always known I had a dislike for certain things (closed in spaces, crowds, traffic,driving in the rain) but at that moment I realized…

I am 5'8 158lbs and the pictures on my profile of me are at about 170. I should have some new ones up soon :)
