  @Peaseblossom55 - I make awesome guac! 

  
  

  3 ripe avocados

  1-2 limes (depending on how limey you like it, I usually use 2)

  1 tsp salt

  1/2 onion

  3 garlic cloves

  handful of cilantro (depending on how cilantro-y you like it, H makes me use a lot)

  2 roma tomatoes

  
  

  Mash the avocado 'stuff' then squeeze in the juice of 1-2 limes. Add salt, mix well and set aside.

  
  

  Chop onion, garlic, and cilantro (I throw it all in my food processor).

  
  

  Dice tomatoes. 

  
  

  Combine onion, garlic, cilantro, and tomatoes with the avocados, lime juice and salt.

  
  

  Refrigerate for a while before serving (although I rarely do this and it's still delicious).

  @swazzle thanks this looks good and easy.  Do you put everything in the food processor, or do you just use the food processor to chop the onions garlic and cilantro?

  @Peaseblossom55 - I only use the food processor for the garlic, onions and cilantro. I hate chopping that stuff so it's easier for me. I mash the avocados and chop the tomatoes by hand.

  Ladies, how do you keep your calorie counts so low and not feel hungry?  I mean this seriously and without any snark.  I have been trying to lose the proverbial "last 10 lbs" forever and I get hungry when I restrict my calorie counts too much (say, under 1800 calories).  I am 5'9" and probably need more calories than many of the petite ladies, but I wish I could stave off hunger better to lose weight more easily.  Also, when I kick up my exercise intensity then I really get hungry all the time.  I am definitely eating healthy, low-glycemic foods so no sugar highs and lows would be causing the issue.

  @CrazyCatLady3 - Honestly, if I'm feeling really hungry, I'll eat something. I'm not trying to starve myself, I like food way too much. Today, I'm just under 1200 calories which is kind of low for me but I have a feeling I won't be stopping at 1 oz of brownie brittle so I'm ok with that hahaha

  
  

  When you're working out, you should definitely eat more than normal. I'm a lazy ass so I don't have to worry about that

  
  

  Also, if you've been losing weight and you've just stopped and reached a plateau, I would try switching things up a bit. Eat that bacon cheeseburger you really want. Have something different for breakfast. Change up your workout. Your body may have gotten used to your routine, especially if you're eating healthy all the time.
