throw in some cereal, fruit, whatevr you like. or drop some yogurt into a smoothie. what i did when i lived at home was eat a teeny tiny amount of my parent's food-just to satiate my cravings for real food- and a huge salad...maybe try that on some nights?

it's perfectly okay to be under once in a while, just as it is ok to be over once in a while. this site puts too much pressure on eating to your goal calories. you won;t magically go into starvation mode over night- it takes weeks of barely eating to do that. my diary will yell at me if i am a measly 100 calories under...…

that was made on this site to prevent people from eating hardly anything... it is a real thing however you will not go into it by merely being 100-300 under your adjusted calorie goal for the day- even for a few days... you could actually go into starvation when you eat 500 (or numbers relatively around there) calories or…

whether you are shaped like a square, pear, triangle, or hourglass, a lady is a lady. i thank you for making your point known and i totally have your back (and i'm basically in the same exact boat as you) stay strong, don't let the haters get you down. <3

i'm dying for holiday sales so i can get a yoga balance ball... i love working out with them! but i'm guessing your gym has them... if your gym offers classes and you want to dabble in dance try a Zumba class, my university gym had them and i went to every one. i wish i could find some local ones, i would definitely sign…

i completely agree with you. i've gone down the road of losing tons of weight but i was so anal about what foods i ate it got to the point where no food had any taste... it was horrible. anyway, personally i go with trying to keep around 10g of added/unnatural sugar... meaning not from fruits, veggies, (can't think of…

i think she was definitely referring to people being unsympathetic within this site/community. as an overall weightloss community they should be fully accepting of anyone wanting to lose weight, otherwise market themselves differently. i've seen many girls getting crappy responses on boards for being thinner and still…

i'm sorry all these people are telling you that you should stop because you are at a 'healthy weight' i am too, but i feel soft and flabby and i hate it. focus on toning up/leaning out. the number on the scale may not change much from there, but it's about seeing/feeling a difference in your own body and i'm totally with…

grilled chicken/ sliced turkey on a huge salad. depending on calories from the protein you may even have something leftover for a side of yogurt or something.

i really liked mine. the first time i wore them was on a long mall trip with my mom (after having not worked out for a while) i did feel quite a burn in my calfs and thighs. the same thing when i wore them as a waitress, initially it gave me a slight burn- but it wore off after a while... (i used to work out avidly, so…

i'm sorry, i'm the same as your husband. it's a texture/sweetness/flavor thing. throw some over ripe ones in smoothie, he won't know the difference then- it's how i get rid of my over ripe ones as my boyfriend won't touch a banana at any point of ripeness lol

^ good ideas. add cheese to your eggs... 2% milk... or if a lactose issue, i like rice milk with ovaltine added in (i'm sure is good with almond milk too)... try a higher cal whole wheat bread. you have so much yummy food there it's surprising you're under lol wish i could be as often

for ladies who want to tone and get lean muscle it is recommended to do more sets with lighter weights. for example rather than 2 sets at 20 lb weights, do 4 sets with 5 lbs... depending on what you are comfortable lifting. i do side lifts for my obliques 15 each side 2 or 3 sets depending how i feel at 8lb weights i don't…

of course it has a chemical sweetener in it, just like Crystal Light and all other 'no calorie' 'low calorie' 'no sugar' sweet things... it's a choice we make, either lower our sugar intake and have real sugar, or have our fill of sugary things and have chemicals. Mio is expensive, i like Chrystal Light

it could be your shoes like people are saying, or i find that if i do a fair amount of stretching before i start running it helps a lot. also start your run off slow, like walking at first and then up the pace- basically don't just jump into it

i often go over my sugar too because i eat a bunch of fruits... which is natural sugar so i kind of ignore it =x i alther the number myself to keep my non-natural sugars in check... dunno if that would affect your number. i also love Sugar Free Jell-o pudding varieties, just as good as regular. and try "Light" ice creams,…

if you like Almonds, but get bored with just snacking on them... make your own trail mix (it will be yummier and better for you and less expensive than store bought) i like almonds, dried banana chips, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips/m&ms... sometimes for more crunch and slaty i'll add mini pretzels. another…

try yogurt, fruits, peanut butter (reduced fat), oatmeal, some nuts... i haven't tried those Friber One Brownies and all other fiber one products i have tried have not agreed with me, sorry!

this is an awesome breakdown. looks like i may be staying with my Special K and adding a banana or yogurt to bulk it up

oh gosh, i used to eat Fiber One, and although it kept me full, it also made me uncomfortably gassy the whole day! too much fiber for me... lol thanks though

if you aren't hungry then that is your body's way of telling you that you had enough...don't just stuff yourself with needless high calorie food, you'll make yourself sick try some exercise, that will wake up your metabolism and make you more hungry.

personally, i have bad joins and get bad shin splints so i love the elliptical. when they came out they were advertised on the sole fact that they took off the pressure of running, since your feet are pounding down less- i find this, years later- to be true i suggest going to the gym and trying them both out to see which…

be careful with this, my friend went "vegan" around 15 and her parents let her make her own meals, so basically all she ate was plain pasta. she didn't realized that being a vegetarian/vegan meant eating fruits and vegetables. she needs to understand that she still needs the protein that meat eaters get from meat. beans,…

this may sound odd, but it could be your floor. i'm having this issue at my new apartment- the linoleum floor in the bathroom in bubbly and uneven, so if i used my scale in there depending on which "ups and downs" the four corners are positioned on i will get weights from 5 pounds under to 3 pounds over my accurate…

nearly all the "diet" foods promoted on this site are similar to what you just listed, but people still think they are losing weight. just use the real stuff, have an indulgent snack, a small amount to kill the craving and then walk away. maybe do some extra exercise to burn off the calories if they bother you that much…

THANK YOU i was raised going to fast food places less than once a month, so that when i did i could thoroughly enjoy all my greasy crispy crunchy fries. that is how fast food should be eaten. and then go home and lay on the couch with a stomach ache from the nasty-ness. parents who can't make the time to make their kids-…

i like mine on apple slices, carrots sticks and crackers. so good!

i met mine in the most miserable night class for graphic design ever. we became friends through mocking the teacher and being smart *kitten*.

good ideas, thanks! i would buy more than one type of lettuce/full heads and make my own, but i'm the only one who eats salads at all in my house, so i usually never finish those before they turn either lol. i've tried whole heads of romaine, but i just don't go through it...

i agree with haylz24. i didn't last the first week. although i'm sure the calorie cut made me lose something, i was alway starving between meals, even though i was filling that space with fruit and veg like the diet tells you to. i'd just learn to figure out your own calories by staying here on MFP, that way you can keep…
