I looked at your diary. I think you need to stay away from all the processed breads and granola bars. They will only temporarily fill you up. I try to eat as "clean" & natural as possible. It really does make a difference in energy and how long I stay full.

This is also a great blog: http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/

I can handle working out at night. I am just unmotivated to go after a long day. But once I work out, I am good to go. It actually gives me energy and makes it hard to sleep.

I feel that if I begin working out twice a day that I will stay more on track. One thing that I notice when I work out in the morning, is that I am always tired the rest of the day. I thought it should be the opposite? I am a graduate student, so my hours are kind of wacky. By the time I get home at night, I feel to…

WOW! Great job! :-) You are looking great.

I have not done either, but my manager has done the South Beach Diet. I think the south beach diet is a good one because you are basically retraining your body what you should and shouldn't eat. The first 2 weeks are the hardest because you are weening yourself from all the processed crap. I think you would have more…

I think 180 is okay for your body type. Honestly, as long as you are happy and healthy I think that is all that really matters. The purpose should be to lead a healthy lifestyle...not to fit into some ideal range that is almost impossible for the majority of the population nowadays. Keep up the good work!

You are looking great! You barely look like the same person! I know it is tough to keep at it especially after you have seen such great results. Congratulations on being able to keep it off so far! I know I had lost almost 10 lbs at the beginning of this year..then summer and life got in the way. I am slowly working my way…

Thanks for everyone's input! I found a recipe and I modified it a little bit. 1 box of sugar & fat free jello pudding (the recipe called for vanilla but i decided to use cheesecake) Instead of using the full 2 cups of milk to make the pudding...only use 3/4 milk and 1 1/4 cup of cool whip. The recipe also calls for a can…

Vodka water with Crystal Light.

Yea...I have felt like as the bigger I got...the more different people have behaved around me. -I have been getting fewer and fewer dates. -Guys would have the nerve to tell me little things I could do to loose weight. HELLO!?!?! Just because I am fat doesn't mean I drink soda all the time or eat damn cheese every meal! i…

It is happening to me too! My theory is that our tummys (or whatever body part) was stretched out so much that you couldn't see the stretch marks. So now that you are getting smaller....the fat behind the skin is shrinking so your skin doesn't have to stretch as much. Since it isn't stretching..you notice the marks.

Thanks everyone for all of your reponses! I thnk I will try the George Foreman way this time and see how it goes!

I am not a big fish fan, but I bought frozen salmon and it is really easy to cook. Just put it in the oven for 45min to an hour and season it with Mrs. Dash or whatever you prefer. It is really tasty. Another thing that is real good is a tuna quesodilla. You can buy the packs of flavored tuna and it is super yummy with…

Thanks! I went to that website and it actually told me 60 calories less than what the machine told me.
