  • Wow thanks everyone! I wrote everything down and might pop into the store and pick up an insulated lunch bag and some reusable ice packs for my lunch stuff as I figured out how much I spend a week and still starve on campus as opposed to buying a decent lunch bag!
  • I was out with friends and I saw myself in a mirror next to my BF. I also heard the catty comments from the girls behind me that he must have a fat girl/older woman fetish. *****es. What also happened is I found a way to get all my teeth redone to make them perfect in the next 7 months and I want a nice look to go with my…
  • I don't think eating grapes and stuff hurts. I eat a little something before I go to bed as I tend to sleep sounder. I think the after 8 thing is for people who eat an entire bag of chips and then 2-3 beers or soda that it was meant for but it got blown out of proportion.
  • I'm super picky but I like to cook myself tuna steaks (great for protein) and mixed green salad with oil and vinegar. I hate cooked vegetables so anything I eat is usually raw. I usually cut up some fruit as a dessert or If I'm feeling daring, eat a smart one caramel sundae or key lime pie.
  • My chest! After my pregnancy they never went back down to size and I hate it! I'd like to be back in my old size! Whoever said bigger is better could clearly afford plastic surgery implants for perk!
  • Haha yeah pop is the Midwestern word for a soft drink. When I was in England I got tons of strange looks when I asked for a pop. I guess I should stay out of Australia too then :)
  • I'm in the headache club! I have 1 20 ounce of pepsi a day. I normally drink a few drinks, put the cap back on and drink some water. I do this several times a day so my caffeine is spaced out, but my body is recognizing it. I also drink Zevia soda which doesn't have caffeine, but it makes me feel like I'm drinking soda but…
  • I'm not a huge water fan either but what I do is alternate between a sports bottle (20 0z) of ice cold regular water and 8oz of either flavored or Gatorade. I use this for anything I drink. A Zevia or soda? 20 OZ of water. I have and reuse the sports bottle with the push down top and for some reason, my mind thinks the…
  • Mine is public. I think people should see my ups and my down days so they know it's OK if they have one too!
  • I'm a single Mom with a 2 1/2 year old! I do get support and I'm very thankful even if it only pays for a week of daycare cause that's a week I don't have to come up with! It's great though because he does pay support but never contacts us and lives out of state so that stress is eliminated!
  • Welcome! I'm new too! I just got a new membership to my local Y and as much as it costs, (I'm poor so it was a huge sacrifice) I'm going to go until my arms and legs fall off! It also helps that they have babysitting and my son LOVES playing with the other kids there. He now yells "Y, Y fwends! Go now" whenever we get in…
  • A lot of times I portion out things. I decide on what my snack will be, say oat-bran no salt pretzel bites. I can have 15 for 90 calories. So I use those tiny zip-lock bags and separate the big bag into 15 pieces in a tiny bag. This also helps to keep them fresher :) Those little bags are awesome and very helpful for the…
  • I adore my wii fit and I find the scale to be the best I own. I do have mine on a hard tile floor though.
  • I'll be honest, it never occurred to me how much damage people can do. I was a ballerina from the age of 4-16 and weight was just..there and always talked about in frank terms. Some with low self esteem developed eating problems but most of us just learned where we needed to work to slim. I don't say NOT talking to your…
  • Saffron is so expensive I'd hate to waste mine for anything other than a yummy meal! I use a cinnamon oil as an appetite suppressant. I put it right on my chest so not only do I know want to eat, I smell really good :)
  • Skip it! If it was a dull ache-like pain I'd say go but sharp stabbing pain is not good. I have constant backache and have learned to push through but any pain like what you describe and I'm flat on my back for a day with muscle relaxers!
