I am because of my religious beliefs, although it's a lot harder than I ever thought and I've compromised a bit more than I should. But I still plan on saving going all the way for marriage.

I received the Gardasil vaccine shortly after it became available, as did my brothers. None of us have experienced any side effects since then, along with 99.9% of people who received it. Don't listen to the testimonials or personal accounts though, listen to the actual statistics and science behind it. The benefits far…

I'm 5'3", 21 years old, currently weigh 147 with a start weight of 153, and my goal is 120. However, I think 130 might be enough, we'll see when I get there

I recently bought a food scale, but I feel like I've been pretty accurate with my logging. And I go to the gym about 3-4 times a week. 1200 is a challenge but I can do it when I'm the one making and planning all my meals. It's when I'm out with family or friends (like on vacation) that things tend to go awry. Eating low…

I'm 5'3" trying to go from 153 to around 120. I've lost 5 lbs so far. I've never added anybody on here before, so I'm not sure how the friends thing works, but I'm game if anyone wants to add me!

Happens to me somewhat regularly. I feel hungry but have no appetite for anything. Don't know why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I usually either wait it out, drink water, or eat a small snack of something bland to satisfy the hunger feeling.

My goal is 1200, and at first I struggled with not going over that but it's gotten easier for me. I've learned portion control and how to make the most of the calories I'm allotted. I also go to the gym daily and gain ~300 from working out. That gives me some wiggle room. I usually eat some of them back, but try to come in…

I don't want to be the biggest person in my friend group anymore, I want to be able to wear any kind of clothes and style because I love fashion and dressing up but there are a lot of things that don't look good on me because of my weight. I want to stop being self-conscious about my body in front of my boyfriend. I want…

I'm doing 1200 calories a day, and at first it was super hard and I went over almost every day, but it's gotten easier as I've learned more and gotten used to it. For me, I skip breakfast because I find I don't need it and it's just wasting my calories. The whole "your body will go into starvation mode if you don't eat…

I also asked a question about garcinia cambogia on here before, and all the responses I got said it did nothing and not to waste my money like they had.

Since there's been a good bit of mention of organic farming and its superiority or lack thereof, I thought it leave this here for any who are interested: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/12/think-organic-food-is-better-for-you-animals-and-the-planet-thin/

@Aaron_K123 Great article!

Mother Nature is constantly doing her best to kill you and me, and has been since the the beginning of humanity. Most of the food you eat every day would hardly be edible if it were still in the form Mother Nature intended. Smallpox and polio and the plague would still be killing a large portion of humanity if it weren't…

@gogoyubarino Right, much of the issue is a distribution problem. And a lot of the waste stems from the result of heavy regulations on when food must be sold by. Grocery stores have to throw out tons of perfectly edible food all the time because of that. I think somewhere in Europe they've either relaxed regulations or…

Okay, thanks! Makes me feel a little better about going a bit over my goal today to know that's what it means!

Also true. Humans have been genetically modifying our food and animals since we quit becoming hunter-gatherers. Just look at corn, watermelon, and peaches as they are now and what they looked like wild and before domestication. The only difference now is that we can do what took hundreds of years now in a single…

Have you tried Pop Chips? The BBQ ones are delicious and very flavorful. I eat a serving of those with lunch (1 serving = 20 chips = 120 calories). I also like plain popcorn (or just lightly salted) or these snap pea crisps I found. The lightly salted ones are very tasty and they've got a pleasant crunch (1 serving = 22…

I just hate all the misinformation and fear-mongering surrounding GMOs despite the FDA and numerous other organizations finding them completely harmless to consume. The reason patents exist is no different than for drugs- R&D costs are high, so for a certain amount of time after they are approved and available on the…

When I first started I just started running until I hit 30 minutes. Then I took a break and since I started back I've been doing C25K (plus some extra walking after the 30 minute workout). I wasn't totally inactive before starting to run; I hiked and stuff a good bit, but I never really trained for running or anything. I…

Green bean and potato salad: - potatoes boiled in bite-sized pieces for 14 minutes, adding in the beans for the last couple - tossing in some olive oil and balsamic vinegar and feta cheese crumbles and a little bit of pepper

All right, that's what I figured! Thanks for the responses, I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing haha
