This morning I had oatmeal with some milk, a tbsp of peanut butter, some cinnamon, and apple. If I don't have that, I'll have a couple eggs and some fruit.

Who am I? My name is Lyndie, I'm 18, and I live in South Carolina. I'm going to college in August and I plan to major in biology. I just want to look good when I go because I'm going three hours away, and (as far as I know) no one in my high school is going to the same school, so it's a completely fresh start, and it would…

You should probably talk to a doctor before attempting to do anything with your weight. You don't want the mindset of trying to control your weight to push you into a relapse.

I put it on that morning, before school, but this was about 6:30 at night, so I imagine that you wouldn't smell it anymore.

I just read the thread, and now, like everyone else, I really want pizza. Too bad we don't have any pizzerias here... the nicest place we have is Papa John's. :P

I get very very grumpy without it. I figure cutting down slowly will help with that.

I like sugar snap peas. I have these portion control baggies so I'll just fill one of those with the peas. I do get some odd looks if people see me eating them, though... Cheese sticks are also good. And fruit. It'll be great when berries are in season again!

Usually I start out with a bigger breakfast, usually eggs and fruit but I sometimes shake it up. I aim for about 400 calories, but usually I end up closer to 350.... then I don't eat anything all day because school lunch is vile and it's too much work to pack something. Also I don't have friends so I don't have anywhere to…

Junior year of high school. I had four different AP and Dual Credit classes so I didn't have any time for anything other than schoolwork. So I decided to make up for not having time to do anything I like by eating what I like, and well....

They are timed, but the time is shown on the machine... I had only been on for about twenty minutes, and they give you half an hour.

I was wearing headphones, and yes, I wore deodorant. Maybe sound was bleeding out of the headphones or something?

To be perfectly honest, I'm probably going to stop making an effort to get 1200 calories or above for a week or so before, and then eat whatever I want on Easter.

I haven't read the whole topic. I haven't seen the show, but if it's scaring people into working harder, maybe I should try an episode. Is it on YouTube?

Yeah... I would be kind of put off if I made plans to go out to eat with a friend and they just ordered water. It'd be a bit different if we made plans to do something else and I just happened to not eat beforehand. If that was the case, I'd completely understand if they weren't hungry.

Candy Any baked sweets (especially cake) Ice cream Chips Diet Soda (not an immediate problem, but I'll cut it out eventually.) Swiss Cake Rolls... Cheese used to be a problem, but I'm getting better about that Bread... Sweets are a definite problem. I live with my family, so I can't keep them out of the house completely.…

I'm trying to lose weight before I go to college, so I just keep reminding myself that if I get to my goal weight in time, I'll get a bigger wardrobe upgrade before I go and going to college with a lot of new clothes would be nice.

To be honest, I wouldn't bother with trying to be healthy on a birthday. Either take the day off or just work your calories around it,

Thanks everyone! I decided not to do anything today. I don't feel up to doing anything anyway.

I like just lemon juice with salt and pepper.

Bananas, cucumbers, and chicken wings. Even just the smell of the wings is enough to make me want to go somewhere else.

If that was the case... goodbye everyone. I'll just be fat forever. :P Luckily for me, it's not... fruit is fine in moderation.

Thanks, everyone. I'll probably just walk a bit tomorrow if it doesn't rain. If it does, I'll take a rest day. I had a friend do it for me, but it is my actual hair, yes. :) Thank you!

Cake... chocolate... Diet Coke... crusty bread... french fries... cheese... pizza... I'm doing much better with the cheese. I'm trying to cut back on the Diet Coke, but I figure that can be the last thing to stop eating. I want to be used to a diet that's healthier in general before doing anything too wild. :P

Probably not. I'm in high school, and it's a school sponsored blood drive. I don't think I can get up early enough to work out and then shower, eat, and be ready for school. I like sleep too much. :P

I'm 18! :)

I'm just donating the usual amount. I think it's about a pint? You're told not to do anything strenuous until at least 12 hours after donation, since you have less fluid and red blood cells than usual.

I have a similar problem, although I'm usually just under the line and I only work out 20 minutes to half an hour. I use avocado to get that last hundred calories or so in. Try that? It tastes good on a lot of things.

With corsets? Yes and no. It depends on the shape you want. How dramatic do you want your hourglass to be. If you want a more normal hourglass, then no, but if you want an incredibly dramatic difference, then yes. Just be sure to get a good corset. You won't be able to find one in a store, you'll have to order it. I…

I'm doing it, too! I'm on my second full round... I lost 8 for the first one, and then I attempted it a couple other times but fell off the wagon about halfway through, and I lost 3 during those... So 11 pounds total. This time I won't be doing her workouts, though, since I'm starting to get a bit bored with them. I'll…

I'm in a similar situation with my mother... I'm hoping that if I manage to lose the weight, she'll be inspired to do it, too. I'm making a bit of progress with her... earlier she mentioned that once me and my brothers all move out, she hopes that she'll be healthy enough to travel with my dad, since she's always wanted to…
