Can deffinately relate... i have a past of yo yo dieting but i know you can do this! It is very encouraging with the help of MFP friends and all the posts! Youve got this! Feel free to add :)

Recently for me ive noticed i needed more veggies in my snacks so yesterday i just used what i had in my fridge and made a really yummy snack. Slice up some cucumbers and cut up one plum tomato put them in a bowl add some apple cider vinegar and this seasoning called Spike i am obsessed with. Its a great snack when you…

looks so good. thanks for the recipe :)

I use stevia or truvia, natural sweeteners. I completely believe that aspartame...found in splenda, equal, sweet and low...most artificial sweeteners cause cravings for me personally id rather spend a little extra money on the natural ones that dont have aspartame than possibly binge because of the cravings from the…

Im a lacto ovo (I eat eggs and dairy, no meat or seafood) love sharing recipes! add me if youd like!

11-2-11 Weigh In: 126.5 Net diff: -2.5 I havent been running as much as i should this last week, so I am excited for the challenge..it will get me back in my running routine. Good luck girls!

Youve got this! :)

Thank you :)

Treat yourself if you can without going overboard or back to your old eating habits.

Donuts and white bread/white pasta. But donuts if i have even a bite, it is a trigger and not worth it for me. For a while peanut butter also but i have been able to eat it in small portions now without going overboard :)

Log everything even if its a small bite of chocolate cake or a cookie, it all adds up. I have learned you are only cheating yourself if you dont log everything. Consistency is key :) Good luck! You can do this!

10-26-11 Weigh in: 129 Net diff: -1 Exercised 4 days for 30-60 mins. Drank lots of water! and was strict about logging everything except for saturday and sunday struggled a little.

I dont have a certain style but once i start i cant stop and it will continue for the next couple days. I know that if i wait too long to eat or im really sad about something i binge like crazy. My trigger foods are peanut butter, and mexican food. At first i didnt really think i had a problem but when i realized that i…

I couldnt agree with you more, i love to bake and cook its a stress reliever for me..weird i know, but i also cant keep all of it in the house or I will not stop eating it. If you love to bake dont stop just keep a little for yourself and right away send some to work or friends. Get it out of the house asap. And if youre…

Eat lots of veggies and protein today, and lots of water. Try eating light before bed and weigh yourself in the morning. LIke everyone else is saying you are retaining water and i know when i eat pizza or something salty the night before i weigh in im usually bloated the next morning which shows up on the scale. Weigh…

I love love love coffee. I use truvia (a zero calorie natural sweetener) and unsweetened almond milk. So good try it. Artificial sweeteners are not healthy. Just stick to one or two cups a day.

Im experiencing the same thing, i havent had mine for about 4 months now and i do cardio for 30-60 mins 5 times a week so im guessing the reason is from running but im still wondering as well if that is the reason, and i know im not pregnant so im guessing its my body getting used to the new changes of losing weight.

so happy you posted this ive been wondering the same thing and am also obsessed with peanut butter it is deffinately a trigger food for me, and ive been wondering where i can buy pb2

sorry i shouldve mentioned that, lacto-ovo (no meat or seafood, but i do eat dairy and eggs)

Im in! Im a sophmore majoring in nutrition. SW 154 CW 130 GW 125! I need help staying motivated to lose these last 5 pounds, they are the hardest!

Buy a new healthy cookbook or a fitness magazine motivates me. Try going to the gym in the mornings, for me at least thats when i feel the most motivated. Take one day at a time, and think of how good you will feel at the end of the day knowing how good you were :) You can do this! dont give up!

Try more veggies fruit and protein. Try cardio for 30-40 minutes a day. Try weighing yourself only once or twice a week, dont obsess over the number. Dont give up! You got this girl!

I am a peanut butter addict i love the natural stuff ....this one brand naturally more is really good and healthy but still 2 TB is 200 calories which is too much for me since i could easily eat 3 servings worth. I do use an alternative called Better N' Peanut Butter it is not the same exact taste as real peanut butter it…

Im going to start off by saying Congrats 20 pounds is awesome. I know how you feel I have a sister who is smaller than me but I have lost almost 25 pounds and it seems people dont even notice sometimes. But dont get discouraged, try and focus on you and how you feel about yourself. Keep your head up, youve done great so…

thanks! i will deffinately look into that!

I know how you feel, I am a college student and always feel the need to eat when i am studying, especially if I am stressed about school. But some things that work for me is drinking coffee with skim milk and truvia or chewing gum. good luck! :)
