  • Hey (: I would shop at a cheaper grocery store if you aren't already. There's Price Chopper, Market Basket, Walmart, BJs, etc. You could make stir frys (with shrimp or steak), turkey with mixed veggies, chicken with whole grain pasta, chicken kabobs on the grill, or turkey burgers with sweet potato fries for Dinner.…

    in 150 down... 60 to go! Comment by caitastic24 July 2011
  • Hmm sounds tough. I would go for low carb foods because they are usually high in protein. The protein, fiber, and good fats will keep you full. You could do eggs, oatmeal, yogurt with almonds or fruit, or english muffin with peanut butter for breakfast. Salad, frozen meal (lean cuisine or healthy choice steamers), or tuna…
    in I don't think I'm eating enough... uncomfortable topic. Comment by caitastic24 July 2011
  • I'm confused about this, too! I added some taller ladies and some of them are eating like 1200 calories a day. I don't think I could eat less than 1500 calories lol. I'm currently at 1680 calories and I always get to eat more because I exercise!!!! Hopefully we can get other people's input on this (: Caitlin

  • This is amazing!!!! I love all of you ladies (: Soooo inspiring!!!! Most of my friends are extremely short (between 4'11-5'2) and it looks so funny going anywhere with them! Also, they don't understand how overweight I really am because I don't look it. For this site, I made sure the pictures I put up represented my weight…
    in "Totally Tall" Women of MFP (5'9" and up) Open Group Comment by caitastic24 July 2011
  • This is great! I want to lose weight because I am tired of lugging around all this extra body weight! My back and neck constantly hurt. Everyone tells me I don't seem that heavy because I am tall..It's not an excuse! I want to get down to a healthy weight and have more energy during the day. I've already lost 11 lbs so far…

  • You sound like you'll do okay!! Both of those meals sound delicious (: Keep in mind you don't have to eat everything on your plate either! You can eat like 3/4 of the steak or less. Just say it's so good but filling! I wouldn't beat yourself up at all! Sounds like you will be eating healthy for the most part! Good luck! (:

  • One more thing! I have two friends who are 5'10. One is 153lbs and curvy..I think she wears a size 8. My other friend can fit into some size 2 jeans but mostly wears size 4. She is 140lbs and works out a lot. I guess it all depends! Caitlin

  • Hey there, I am 5'11 and currently 247.5 lbs, size 14. I am hoping to get down to a size 8, possibly 6, and have my weight anywhere between 160-180. When I was in high school, I played lacrosse and soccer but never ate very healthy. I was a size 10 and around 170lbs then but still had a lot of belly fat. Good luck to…

    in so you count calories like money? Comment by caitastic24 June 2011
  • Hey, I was diagnosed with PCOS about a month ago and met with a nutritionist. She recommended a low carb diet for more energy. I have felt a lot better since I started eating less carbs. I eat 45-50 carbs per meal, 400-500 calorie meals and 15-20 carbs per snack, 100-200 calories per snack. It is hard to stay within these…
