Also weird but true whenever I eat wheat makes me feel like I am starving all day long.

Oddly you might try chewing gum after eating to see if that helps you to not have as high of a desire to eat. Sometimes I just try tricking my brain. Sometimes I want to eat even when I am not hungry and I just keep having to tell myself no. Other times even when I feel like I have eaten a sufficient amount I still feel hungry but I just wait to see if my full signal just needs to catch up. Hope my blabbering made a little sense.

If you like T.V get a hula hoop or weights and workout while watching it. Then you aren't giving anything up either! Any moving is better than sitting.

Good job!!! Now onto level 2 maintenance and muscle building!

Since my family has a history of high cholesterol I have 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites with a splash of Almond milk. I then add any number of things depending on what sounds good. Cheese, greek yogurt, salsa, any type of veggies. Making me hungry just thinking about it.

Mine is always that high too and I consume very little sodium most of the time. Don't worry about it. :)

I am so ready for summer.... Just have to get a new suit after my loss this year. Just keep working out and making healthy food choices.

I would say focus on building muscle then. And I agree you are looking great!

Need you now -Plumb On my Own -Ashes Remain

lol! Well it is because you are looking great! :)

I am glad you found a way to live and eat while feeling great!

Looking for any upbeat christian songs to make a workout list too. Some I really enjoy are: Good Morning -Mandisa Me Without You -TobyMac Our God -Chris Tomlin No Mater What -Kerrie Roberts Stronger -Mandisa Strong Enough -Matthew West Any others you think I could add?

I like the greek yogurt that is Liberte brand which I get from a Kroger store and Dannon Oikos

I have a blender by the brand Oster and I use it almost everyday for ice. No problems and I have had it for almost 3 years. Cost me 60 bucks.

I am 5'2 and wear a size 3 jeans and small or x-small shirts. Waiting to find out about getting my body fat checked with calipers. My measurements right now are: Weight 123.6 Bicep 10.5 Under my Bust 29.5 Waist 29 Hip 34 Thigh 20.5 Calve 13.75

google eating clean Maria or go to heandsheeatclean.com and decide what you think.

I wouldn't advise it... Then you body is just going to hold whatever you do it because it won't now when its next meal is coming... Google what happens to your metabolism when you go without eating for a while. We were meant to eat. Why else do you think people have hungry signals. You wouldn't do it to a kid so why would you do it to yourself?

I agree with meat baby. I only lost 3 pounds since the beginning of the month but have lost 2 inches in my waist!

great article!!!

PgWagner that is awesome!
