Anyone have any healthy cookie recipes? Sweet tooth cravings (=

Please?(: i would love any input

Hey everyone! my name is arianna. about 5 years ago I did very low calorie dieting...1200 or less. i lost a lost of weight. i binge ate it all back plus more! for the past 2 years, i basically took a break from dieting, tried to repair mentally and did not track calories at all. for the past week or two, i started using my…

yay!! weight training is amazing. I know sometimes women are afraid of it, I used to be one of them. I was afraid to get big or bulky. but now i absolutely love it <3

Happy: it was my first time eating out in a long time, I avoided it because I was afraid I would fall into some unhealthy choices...but i didnt! I went to breakfast and found a meal for 490calories and 20g of protein. I chose a side of fruit as well. I was proud of myself. My boyfriend is very supportive of me and didn't…

Thanks :) Today I did 30min of personal training and will do another 20-30 minutes of HIIT at home for a challenge that I'm doing. Super sore but I'm gonna go for it. I ate just shy of my 1600 calories and I'm super full again. Whenever I wake up late and eat a late breakfast .. it kills my appetite for the day. :/ can't…

Hey there! I have you as a member in the group. :) and congratulations on 15lb loss! That's a great milestone. I hope you enjoy the group. I am the same way - i have fallen off the wagon many times but I also refuse to give up. Giving up would only mean giving up on ourselves and our health.

I know with those meds it makes your heart maintain a lower rate, which is way it may be hard to burn to calories. Do you do weight training? I think it will help a lot :) The more muscle you gain, the more fat your body will burn at rest.

Insanity looks well..insane!! And that being said, I totally want to do it. I have to build up my stamina a bit first. but it's only my to-do list. :)

yes ! onward. haha :) i did the same exact thing. lost 5lb before the holidays, gained them back, hope to lose part of them this week!

Today I did 30min on the crossramp at the gym. and 20 minutes of HIIT. I'm super sore today. I have a busy schedule tomorrow. School and clinicals from 930 am - 1100 pm. I'm risin and shinin early to get that workout in and meals packed. My daily calories are 1600. I only ate about 1350 today. I was so full today! But, I…

I was sick for weeks! Trust me I know. This is my first week back at working out since before christmas. I'm twice as motivated now. (: Good that you still stayed on track with nutrition.

Good for you for still being active :)

I love taking progress photos! I haven't been brave enough to thoroughly post online yet. But I will in the next few weeks :) I think before and after pics are more powerful than the scale, especially when the scale doesn't seem to budge for a while - its muscle building :) . I also track fat% and measurements. When people…

Okay! I will start doing this! :) tonight will be the first "day in review" look out for my post. Thanks for the suggestion.

I sent you all requests:) let me know if you didnt get it, etc.

A new breakfast recipe I found... 1/4 cup onion chopped 1-2 garlic cloves minced up 1/2 cup cubed cooked yam 3 eggs or tofu scramble 1 oz skim cheese you sautte the onions and garlic with a little bit of olive oil. add the potatoes. and add the eggs. the recipe says you can bake it but i don't see why you can't just make…

It's so awesome to have a friend to workout with! And, Take before and after pictures! remember when you are building muscle sometimes our weights will stay the same but our bodies are changing shape & our clothes will fit different. Have you ever looked at fat % instead or in addition to measuring your weight? :)

A year from now you'll be glad you started today. I also believe in non-food rewards about every 5lb or so. Nothing too big (atleast not until i reach my goal), but maybe a pedicure, or new gym outfit, etc.

Hey, Kayla! I will totally message you with some home workout ideas. :D We have a recipe discussion on here too. Do you have a pinterest account? i love to use it and find new, healthy recipes.

awesome! thanks for recommending the youtube channel. I'll have to check it out. I can totally share some healthy sweet tooth recipes with you. I also have a huge sweet tooth. :D I feel like the more I get myself to exercise, the less likely I am to eat bad because I know how hard I just worked/sweat,etc. :) I think it…

Hey! do you like the garmin or fitbit better? I have an old fitbit but I think I want to buy a new one to be extra fancy (; or "some calorie burning tracker" haha

Great! And, it's perfectly okay. The occasional treat keeps us sane. (: and they were for enjoyable reasons, you're still on track and doing well. Happy birthday to you both :D

I'm so happy to hear this!

Hello! (: That's so fun ! You own your own coffee bar. & While I'm not married, my boyfriend of almost 2 years is also skinny- eaters whenever and whatever and basically all the time. I wishhh!

Wow. I'm sorry this happened to you, but it's so great you've made choices to better yourself despite it all. It sounds like you have really good self-discipline and know yourself well! Good luck - I can tell you will definitely reach your goal.

sending all of you friend requests :D

http://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-pizza-recipe-creamed-spinach/ i've been wanting to try this - forever!! I needed to post this to balance out my obsessive oatmeal posts. hahaha

Other overnight oats stuff.... 1/2c oats 1/2 yogurt then add serving of fruit and milk (to thickness that you want it) super easy way of doing it Banana Bread Overnight Oats: Add 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1-2 tbsp crushed walnuts with the dry ingredients. Use sliced banana as your fruit of choice. Piña Colada Overnight Oats:…
