    Like...real? I worry about stretching my wilted, slimy spinach out over a week and walking in the rain because I just bleached the kitchen and can't afford an asthma attack, but you're at the doctor's office and eating salmon? Come on now.

    Dude. What is going on? You don't even know the people posting in this thread.

    I'll probably drop the weight on my own now that I'm not eating ramen 4 times a day or being handed free McDonald's, but seriously every time someone mentions lifting they tell you you're gonna get hurt. I kinda can't afford that so naturally I'm nervous about lifting things. I bookmarked the stuff ya'll mentioned so I dunno why you're shootin me.

    Is there anything safer I could do? If I hurt myself I don't have a doctor to go to.

    Hey, message me I think I have something that could help! I was the same way, I was at the weight I liked but didn't feel comfortable still. I used this workout guide and now I feel better than ever! It's 28 mins 3 times a week, then the other days you are supposed to walk or jog for 30 mins! (I don't maintain the walking and jogging as I should, but I do the 28 min workout)!

    And how about you. Why can't you post it here?

    LOL my student debt would put a small country to shame. You can find a ton of great resources on the internet with nutritious food on a budget. And maybe you can consider couponing: loads of savings to be had. Your attitude is stopping you from doing stuff, woman.

    We're not. Try the body weight stuff! Don't worry too much about the protein thing yet.

    LOL my student debt would put a small country to shame. I totally get your attitude, but you can find a ton of great resources on the internet with nutritious food on a budget. And maybe you can consider couponing: loads of savings to be had.

    OMG walking in the store with coupons is THE BEST.
    Though half the time you end up buying things on sale that you wouldn't normally buy in the first place. XD At least I do. Then I forget I came there for something completely irrelevant to my coupons.

    4 bags, that makes 80 servings of 23 grams per serving.
    So for $24, you can have 1,840 grams of protein. If you're going for 140 grams a day (sounds high to me), you're looking at 13 days worth. If you do 100 grams of protein a day, you're looking at just over 18 days.

    Excuse me? Do you know how many meals I can make out of a $.99 bouillon pack and a $1.50 bag of spinach? Do you know what it's like to rely on ramen and your parents' addiction to fast food for 90% of your diet because your parents think vegetables "aren't real food?"

    You guys are walkin a pretty tight line. You have no idea who I am or who I came from. First world problems my *kitten*.
