I'm 5'7 and 157 lbs. I wear a 7/8 and have bought 6's at Target and JcPenney.

@Fit_Vixen a mixture of lady gaga and dita von tesse! Super pretty!

haha love this!! I absolutely hate being on the treadmill, even with music playing and a tv right in front of me. I prefer to get my cardio in doing dance classes to pass the time faster.

There's an amazing chinese place right by my local Chipotle and I usually end up at Chinese instead of Chipotle too! haha anyway - steamed chicken and veggies and steamed rice isn't bad! Both Chipotle and Chinese are high in sodium so that's about the same and I am going to say Chinese probably had less calories depending…

When I did keto my stable items were: eggs broccoli rotisserie chicken chicken sausage kale Frank's Red Hot / Sriracha Sauce Spinach Unsweetened Almond Milk ALMONDS lots of them Cheese Bacon Lettuce for lettuce wraps Avocados Salsa That's all I can think of right now

I've lost ~98lbs. At first I did it with super low carb (ketosis), that lasted around 4 months. When I left the "obese" category I started to eat clean with a moderate carb diet. I feel like I've done it all. low carb, low cal, doing the whole eat more to weigh less, etc. I have found now that I lose 1lb a month on the…

No you won't gain the weight back IF you stay within a calorie deficit or at maintenance. I went back and forth from keto to a moderate carb/clean diet and have lost and kept off 100lbs. You obviously just cant go back to old habits of processed terrible food.

I had a big breakfast! 2 eggs, 2 small sausage links and a bowl of cereal. :) It will hold me over until my afternoon snack and dinner tonight!

I've managed to lose 100lbs while taking birth control. So my gut instinct is to say "No!" BUT- there are hundreds of different BCs and each one affects each woman differently. It's really about learning to listen to your body.. I have found that every week of my pills my body goes through a different cycle (very hungry,…

I try to eat clean, but it's more of the 80/20 rule. I usually had a little bit of Edy's ice cream as a midnight snack or some frozen yogurt. I don't make packaged meals or anything like that. I do eat vita top muffins for a high fiber snack or will eat some dark chocolate. Not sure if you consider that processed. I am…

How low carb are you going? I've always loved PB & Celery! Another good thing is Thomas Light Multi Grain English Muffins, they're only 14 carbs total. Only have half of one and you're at 7 carbs! Toasted with pb and low sugar jelly is yummy!

Honestly, unless you have high blood pressure sodium isn't really going to be an issue. Just make sure to drink extra water to get rid of the bloat and cleanse your system out!

I WAS fat because I ate as large of portions as my fiance!!

Usually if you search the generic fruit (ex: bananas, blueberries, apple) the very first option usually has a long pull down list of different options and 1 cup is usually there, then you can just put .25 servings for a 1/4 cup!

I lost over 80lbs doing a ketosis diet, and went back and forth for a few months, and since January have been doing a regular / moderate carb diet. I have not gained ANY weight back, and have lost an additional 15lbs. 3 away from a normal BMI, dangit! That being said, I don't eat pasta and white bread. I get my carbs from…

How low carb do you want to go? Ketosis? (Less than 20g a day usually) Or something like under 100 a day? The first things to take out of your diet would be bread, pasta, potatoes, corn, bananas, most fruits, all grains, yogurts, anything with sugar. haha You will need to up your fat. (ketosis is usually 5% carb, 30%…

I LOVE Mrs. Renfro's Mango Habenero Salsa. so yummy!

I had half of a baked sweet potato, and a homemade tuna salad sandwich. Nothing too exciting, haha

I also realized a few weeks ago I was netting WELL below my BMR, usually around 900-1000 calories!! My TDEE was over 2,200!! I've upped my calories to 1,800 a day. Within 2 weeks I dropped from 168 to 164 my lowest ever. (Well, since middle school!) I am no longer grumpy, I don't have cravings for food, and sometimes I…

I set MFP goals to active to "pretend" to be my TDEE. During the day, I am at the computer, walking around the mall, shopping etc. Right, I didn't think I was supposed eat exercise cals back either I was just wondering if it was okay (for lack of a better word) to be netting 1200-1400 a day.

I do take 2-3 days off in a row each week. My workouts are sometimes 2 a day, a yoga class and a hip hop. or stretching class and kick boxing. I am not going like.. hardcore 8x a week, :) Thanks so much for the advice. It's just so hard to fathom eating over 2k cals.

I am sure I am replying too late to this but.. my opinion.. I did a ketosis diet for I don't know, 7 months? I lost a lot of weight. Probably 50lbs I went back to a "normal" diet of eating clean and around 130-150 carbs a day. I lost 40 more lbs. When I was in ketosis.. I was so full all the time I was taking in less…

I love unsweetened chocolate and vanilla almond milk!! (I add like a half packet of splenda to it) Super yummy!!

My favorites are: 1. Skinny Iced Vanilla Soy Latte 2. Skinny Iced Soy Caramel Machiatto. 3. (Before I gave up dairy) Caramel Light Frap, with Sugar Free Caramel!

Monday: Hip Hop Dance class Tuesday: Ultimate Stretch & Pure Strength class Wednesday: Hip Hop Dance class Thursday: Zumba Friday: Rest Saturday: Zumba Sunday: Rest I start off each day at the gym either on the stair-master or treadmill and am going to finish my doing some more lifting after classes.

I seriously love your positive attitude!! You'll do great! It's pretty crazy once you start tracking what you eat to see what's actually going into your body. You start to think "wow, do I really need that regular pop?!" (we say pop in the north, haha!) Not too sure what your goals are but at first people have a tenancy to…
