  • Why not suggest a known fast food joint where you know exactly how many calories?For example, I know a veggie burger at Harvey's with the toppings I like is 340 calories. Personally, I feel like isolating yourself just so you can eat the perfect types of food all the time will lead to burn out and make you not want to do…
    in Does anyone view eating as a means of socialization? Comment by sracaxaj November 2011
  • "Now, ignoring the scale is important for to succeed. Muscle has more mass than fat, therefore it weighs more. That is no mythe. It is truth. So the best way for you to judge your progress is to measure every couple of weeks. Pick a day of the week such as Monday and measure every other Monday. " I totally agree - muscle…
    in New and Discouraged! Comment by sracaxaj July 2011
  • I think where you lose weight is totally dependent on the person. For me, I know as I gained weight, I got bigger boobs so I'm assuming the reverse will happen too??? I know I've seen this happen with others and as far as I know they weren't doing anything dramatic (things like exercising and cutting out pop). That being…
    in Do breast size decrease with weight loss? Comment by sracaxaj July 2011
  • Hey. That sounds like it would be difficult! My partner and I have very different mentalities of how to lose weight so I wonder if I give him some of this "junk food" envy. While he has tried to eliminate anything that is an obvious junk food/convenience store type thing completely he sometimes ends up eating very…

  • Hey! Nice to meet you! I worry about the iron thing sometimes too but I find that with stuff naturally comes fortified like certain cereals (cream of wheat is great for example) and eating lots of beans and lentils I think I'm doing alright. I probably eat more of that stuff now when I am looking for something lean but…
    in Any vegans around? Comment by sracaxaj July 2011
  • Hi there. I'm pretty new to this too and I can empathize that it is tricky to set your limits but I really have to advise you to up your calorie intake. That's way too little, especially given your height! MFP is really great about helping you figure out what a good calorie goal should be per day and also letting you know…
    in Teen needs help!!!! Comment by sracaxaj July 2011
  • I agree with what folks have been saying about veggies - they are def. the best low cal way to get a snack in. I try to include more in any meal so that I don't eat too much of the more calorie-heavy stuff too. I find an effective way to stave off cravings (although maybe not textbook right way) is to have a very small…
    in Fruit is using up all my calories! Comment by sracaxaj July 2011
  • Hope you're feeling better Italiana. Its a cliche but its true: whatever hurts you will make you stronger. Since you asked for motivation too - I personally feel like nothing makes me feel stronger and more confident than getting a good work out and nothing makes me feel better taken care of than eating wholesome and…
