Grape. Nut. O’s. Grape Nuts are NOT the same.

Well the hitting the gym when I’m on campus thing has been a total bust so far because the previously mentioned aggravated hip injury upgrades to full blown back spasms for a week. Feeling somewhat better now, but thinking I’ll just stick to daily yoga until I’m back to baseline pain!

Cheerios with coconut milk- I was running late and needed something quick, but it probably won’t hold me over till lunch :-/
-
@themedalist thanks for the encouragement! Off to a rough start though- day one and my bad hip is acting up so might be downgrading to gentle walks for a little while trying to increase mobility without wanting to rip my leg off. But I’ll do it in the campus gym, so it counts right ;-) Believe it or not, I’m 22 with all…

This October I will... use the gym on campus on the days I’m there, so that I can improve my cardio endurance on low-impact machines like the elliptical (bad knees, no real running allowed, and my apartment gym only has treadmills, so walking only) The small actions I’ll be taking to accomplish my goal: Bring my workout…

Cereal of basically any kind, blueberry pancakes, fried shrimp with really horseradish-y cocktail sauce

Been a serial starter for several years now (I think I've started.... 5 times?) and I just wanted to share with the world (or this corner of the world) that I'm DOING IT!!! I'm really doing it! I've tracked every day for 20 days and I've exercised in some capacity every day for 19. I don't think I've ever even lasted a…

The best place in the world! Love the north cascades- my grandparents have lived on the edge of the Pasayten Wilderness since I was little. The “mountains” here in eastern WA have called me the last couple weekends, but we’re talking 3300-3600 foot “peaks.” I hope to work up to the big guns someday soon!

Breakfast: oatmeal with chocolate protein powder Lunch: chicken and veggie soup with rice crackers Snacks: Greek yogurt, dark chocolate, apple, whatever else fits if I’m hungry Dinner: hmmm.... maybe pizza toast with green peppers? Or a scramble? I haven’t decided. I’ll decide on the fly I think.

That's a really low calorie intake (1000-1200) and a very fast rate of loss. There's a reason MyFitnessPal won't give you a target below 1200 - it's too low for basically everyone unless they're on a diet supervised by a physician. I know it can be hard to get enough calories on Low FODMAP, but you really should try to eat…

I really like Old Navy’s activewear line and also have a lot from Xersion at JCPenney. Both go on sale a lot, and are still a decent price if they’re not on sale.

Currently in PT for a knee refresher. This is round... 5? 2 rounds before I blew out my ACL and tore my meniscus, one very lengthy round following surgery, and 2 rounds since. Not counting my bouts in PT for other ailments! (If you have kids, maybe think twice about letting them be cheerleaders...) Mainly back this time…

Chicken “burrito bowl” here! Shredded chicken, black beans, corn, and mixed bell peppers with some cheddar cheese on top!
-
Tonight will be pizza toast! Sourdough with mozzarella, peppers, and green onion!
-
A pint of So Delicious cookie dough coconut milk ice cream. If it had no calories *and* lactose was not a problem for me, it would be a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked.
-
Salmon burgers (veggies within! Pumpkin and green onion are in there) and refried beans. Not totally sure where that combo came from but I have no regrets- it was good!

Hi all! Brand new here, and glad to find a place for some accountability! Height: 5’7” HW: 170 CW: 155 July goal: 150 would be nice, but I’m especially looking to see some visual changes Ultimate goal: 140 I was 140 and a size 8 at my fittest, and I don’t think I’m built for being slimmer than that, but I was so happy with…

My favorite pants don’t fit anymore and I’m not letting myself buy a larger size. Period.

Crickets- surprisingly good (at least with some Cajun seasoning as I tried then). You just have to overcome the feeling of the legs in your mouth.

It sounds like you may be developing an unhealthy relationship with the scale. There’s no reason to weigh yourself so frequently (sounds like every day or at least every other day). Weigh yourself once a week under the same circumstances (morning before breakfast, before bed, whatever), maybe even every other week.…

I rarely add protein to smoothies because I always add yogurt- I’m allergic to bananas and need to add creaminess some other way, so yogurt it is. Anyway, I really enjoy strawberry, raspberry, and pineapple, (in roughly a 2:1:1 ratio) with a bunch of spinach shoved in as well, plain or low-sugar vanilla yogurt, and some…

The Yoga with Adriene 30 Day Challenge (the original from 2015) is what I'm using for my practice currently, interspersed with some of her targeted "yoga for healing" videos as needed.

I had just hit 170 and that was really an "oh *kitten*" kind of moment in itself, and then Facebook "On This Day" brought up a picture from my sophomore year of high school, before I tore my knee to bits, when I was at my lightest/fittest and I basically said to myself "I have been 145 lbs and fit, I can be 145 lbs and fit…

I have chondromalacia and had an ACL reocnstruction/meniscus injury so I feel some of your pain. For lower body, balance exercises and theraband walks might be good for you. Proper form does require the slightest bend to the knees for these but it's maintained throughout, not repetitive. If your balance is poor you can…

I'm in almost the exact same boat, right down to the numbers. Cardio is hard for me anyway because of injuries and asthma, so my plan is to walk fast and incorporate weight training and swimming! Day one for me too! Good luck!

Usually one packet of truvia or half a packet of Splenda depending on what I have on hand. If I don't have time for it to cool down a bit, a few tablespoons of unsweetened coconut milk does the trick for me.
