Getting Married in Sept 2019!!
I could use a group of supporters who are also logging their foods and their activity to get some accountability, tips, and support. I am 5'0" and carrying a lot of excess weight and body fat at 166 currently (I started at 180 when fiance and I got engaged in January). I was hoping to clear 150 by end of September, only…

Meal Planning... The Struggle is Real
I really truly struggle with meal planning... And I know this is my biggest reason why I struggle to lose weight. I get so bored so quickly with the typical yogurt parfait or instant oatmeal for breakfast, salad for lunch, and frozen chicken/fish with frozen side veggie for dinner. I am horrible at cooking and get lazy, so…

Low Carb Examples...
Hi all! I have realized I have issues with trying to keep my carbs down and meeting my protein goals. I am trying to get about 100+ grams of protein (30%), and below 100 grams of carbs and anything else in fat. I would like to be about 30% protein, 35% carbs, and 35% fat. I feel like I get about 80 grams protein, fat is…

Protein
I have been noticing that I don't seem to be getting enough protein in my diet... According to a website, I should be getting about 81 grams of protein a day, which works out to about 27 grams of protein per meal (if I eat 3 square meals).

Lunch Time!
So I packed my lunch and now I don't want it.... I want to go out for lunch instead. What is everyone's take-out/sit-down/fast-food lunch favorite without going crazy over calorie budget? (I'm craving Corner Bakery Café or Jimmy Johns sandwiches; but the calories in all these are not worth it...)

Warning: I'm Being a Complainer....
Getting super depressed about my weight lately.... I just can't seem to stay consistent with this weight loss. I lost 6 pounds between February and March. Gained in April and May. Then this last week, I had a janitor ask me whether I am having a boy or a girl (not pregnant by the way); and my boyfriend's mom commented last…

There may be an article posted similar to this, but I haven't seen one as of yet... So I'm going to go ahead and start one!

Sucessful Petite Women - How Do You Do It?
Hi everyone! I'm a 5'0" 28 year old with about 35 lbs to lose looking for help/advice! I think my biggest problem is I'm not being 100% strict on myself, since I still do what I want on the weekends... Also, I have a bad mentality about once I start, that I should see instant results, which I know can't happen. Just like I…
