for my fellow 21 year olds...
I know it is VERY sometimes not to join in all the festivities being 21 but i found it is so worth is to cut out a lot of drinking, it's just so many empty calories.

Yess...it's a water question...
I love drinking water and don't normally have a hard time getting in my water intake. I don't keep soda in the house (or I would drink it all day) and I don't like juice. I DO however LOVE unsweetened tea. Is unsweetened tea considered part of your 8 - 8oz glasses? Can I count it towards my water? Thanks in advance!

I'm so lost...
Okay, I need help. I really do. I'm at the point where I'm scared to eat anything. I tried eating less than 1200 a week and it didn't really work, so I tried eating more around 1300-1500 and I gained about 4 lbs. I started walking last week about 20-30 minutes a day during my break time at work, and I still don't know why…

Getting Organized (single parents/college students)

If I go into Change Goals and put "Maintain Weight" it says that as a sedentary person I will burn 2288 calories. I'm wondering... how exactly is it figured that a sedentary person is…
