Dinner under 400
made a dinner I was kind of proud of tonight. Skillet grilled half a skinless chicken breast, cooked in a light white wine. Sautéed spinach and split cherry tomatoes, served with a tablespoon fresh grated Parmesan. Baked sweet potato with a half cup fat free cottage cheese and a sprinkle of cinnamon. 386 calories.

Starting slimquick tomorrow... Advice?
I'm 21, and a mother of a three year old girl. I weigh 224 pounds and I hate it. I'm 5'9", and I feel most comfortable around 170-180 pounds. I do pilates and yoga for around an hour a day, and I take three hour long walks during the week. I've decided to start slimquick to try and give a little extra boost, but I'm really…

one month later in the same top... (pictures)
I'm not totally convinced I see a difference, but I've lost 14 pounds in between the photos. I definitely notice where I'm putting my hand on my hip though, I've always held it at the top of my roll of fat haha, and my hand seems to have lowered. Progress? Maybe. Not sure when this was taken, but definitely before I…

Why do I feel like this isn't happening..?
So far, I have a weight loss total of 12 pounds. I've been really watching calories, rarely going over, and exercising close to daily. Part of me still thinks the scale is wrong, or something. My clothes fit a little better, I can button jackets I used to not be able to, I posted before and after pictures and you can see a…

Coffee?
I have totally cut coffee out of my life, because I was under the assumption that all the sugar and creamer was going to kill my calories, but I've recently found fat free sugar free creamer, and that my coffee is only 2 cals per 8 oz. So, what's your opinion on it? Is it still okay to drink coffee during a diet?

I don't want to hurt myself, but i don't want to take all these days off from working out either! Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do that won't put too much strain on my recovery? Also, food…

Doctor says I should lose 75lbs...!?
I updated my main photo today to a full body shot, so you can get an idea of what I look like. I weigh 224 pounds, and a doctor recently suggested a goal weight of around 150 for me. I feel like that's a bit too low for me. I'm 5'9", and at my healthiest, and most fit, I was 170. I haven't been 150 since age 13. I don't…

What's up with this guilty feeling after I eat...?
I have a history of eating disorders. I danced and spun guard, and it was really cut throat. The thinnest succeeded, as the others digressed. I worked my *kitten* off to be thin, and beautiful. I remember passing out at practice because I hadn't eaten in three days. I was actually proud of that, I remember thinking "hell…

I should eat... MORE?!
So yesterday was the end of my day one, and the day end report told me I need to ingest more calories, for fear of putting my body into starvation mode. I really do feel like I ate an appropriate amount, and wasn't really hungry throughout the day. I have no time to go to a gym, so I do pilates and yoga at home. I don't…

338 calorie chicken wrap you'll fall in love with
Okay so I just made this for myself today, after messing with a recipe I saw on bettycrocker.com, and it was DELICIOUS, and really filling. Use a whole wheat tortilla, and spread a 100 calorie snack pack of wholly guacamole in the center, pushing half an inch to the edge. Layer 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers on the guacamole,…
