How much of each ingredient?

You are going to find that people have many different ways to reach their goals and lots of them work. You can choose your own that woks for you! I lost about 50 pounds over 9 months or so. (167 to 115) I cut out "white" carbs - bread, pasta, rice, potatoes. In fact, I didn't even have whole wheat bread/pasta, or brown…

It covers more than a bathing suit top and I'm fine wearing a tank top outside so I don't see why I should feel "inappropriate" in a sports bra! If it wasn't illegal I'd be outside with no top on, just like a guy can. Some men have larger breasts than I and they don't get arrested. I wouldn't run with no top though!…

Nuts, nut butters, avocados, olive oil, sweet potatoes, eggs, protein powder. All can be fairly calorie dense foods that you can eat a little of yet still get some healthy calories in.

Oddly enough, when I was playing WoW I LOST a ton of weight. I just wouldn't get up to eat. I think I lived on cereal and granola bars for 2 years.

I'm 15% right now. I started at about 30-35%! So I am happy. :D Edit: Stats - 35 years old, Female, 5'8", 117 pounds.

When I was doing 30DS I couldn't burn more than 150 calories, no matter how much effort I put in.

I think part of what makes this issue so complicated is that you can become fat and then get thin - therefore experience both sides of the issue. The article states how overweight people are judged as "self-indulgent, lazy and unable to control their appetites". Now, if you replace "overweight" with "ethnicity of your…

Vibram all the way. I have flat feet and I adore them. Edit: My favorites - http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/Five-Fingers-BikilaLS-Womens.htm

Calorie-wise, usually breakfast. Not purposefully, it just works out that way. I'm starving in the AM and I usually have a protein shake then, too.

You could go topless for all I'd care. But sports bra seems fine to me. I wear a tank top over mine just because I'm a bit self conscious of my loose belly skin. Otherwise, I'd be way more comfortable in just the sports bra. I wear just the sports bra alone with workout pants when I run/jog outside.

Omg Teavana's Morning Mate tea. SO delicious.

Eh, it might not be so bad - perhaps our bodies just want help gaining muscle? I'm eating 2,000 - 2,200 calories a day and not gaining much (finally gained 2 pounds this week, I think. We'll see if it holds up). But then, I'm trying to gain a little.

I eat PB2 - it's actually really good!

I put cinnamon on everything cinnamon-able. I eat probably a tablespoon of it a day! :)

Honey crisp is my apple crack. So, so amazingly good. When they aren't in season, I choose Royal Gala or Braeburn.

:D Thanks! I'm 5'8" and started at 167. I'm now 115 (That is too small. I want to gain a bit of muscle.) And thanks GraceK2012 - my belly is one of the things that still bugs me, mostly because when I eat it bloats up like I am 6 months pregnant (no lie!) and I am hoping to get rid of the loose skin I still have so I can…

Yay! Thanks for the positive comments. :D It's been quite a year and I'm so happy to finally feel like I am seeing what I want when I look in the mirror.

Either a protein shake with a banana, some greek yogurt with apples and cinnamon or some almond butter! Though these things aren't necessarily low calorie.

It's ok! I posted it to my profile - I hope that's allowed. (Edit: Although the rules say profile pics can't be in underwear either... whoops! Guess I'll wait and see if they get me in trouble. I hope not! I don't think they are too bad. :P) I think I'm just more comfortable than some people with nudity. I think our bodies…

It was both! But the "important" bits were censored - nothing you wouldn't see on the beach, promise. You might have not seen the underwear "after" ones because I was trying to upload smaller sized pics and you probably caught me in between edits. Anyway - not mad! Sorry to offend anyone. Didn't know the rules.

Yes, the "heavy" set was! I did censor though, assuming what you couldn't see wouldn't hurt! From the guidelines, the underwear "now" pics would also be out, sigh. Oh well. Thanks anyway!

Ahhhh, I didn't realize underwear wasn't the same as a bathing suit. You can't see through it - I assumed it was acceptable. Never mind! :) I'll delete the post.

I went from a 36D to a 32C and I LOVE it! They would really be B cups if not for the extra skin, though. That's the only thing I don't love. They're deflated now - they look like tennis balls in tube socks! :( Otherwise, I adore them small. They are awesome.

I don't avoid it! I always have dessert, even when I was losing the 50 pounds I lost this year. When I was really restricting my calories, my dessert would be things like; Non-Fat Greek Yogurt with cinnamon and apple slices (YUM!) or 2 TBSP Kettle Almond butter Creamy, Lightly Salted (no sugar added) with a square or two…

What the...?! Disrespectful? To whom?! Anyway, I'm 35 (and everyone is on my back about OMG IT'S ALMOST TOO LATE!!) and don't want kids. I wanted them when I was younger but the older I get the less I want them - and my boyfriend of 11 years agrees. I have too many friends who come to our nice, quiet, clean, stress-free…

I go at 5:30 AM and do not eat beforehand. I eat when I get home.

Hi! I eat about 2,000 or so a day. Trying to maintain (or gain a little muscle!) 118 pounds, 5' 8"

Buy a small digital food scale.

I'm not arguing the chart is accurate - just pointing out that looking around you means nothing. Obesity rates can can vary greatly depending on where you live. Where I am, in South Florida, I *can* look around and see extremely overweight people constantly. When I visited Manhattan... different story! I was shocked that I…
