I just don't track sugar for the same reason. I like fruit.

Almost 5'0 :) Working on about 15 pounds.

Sounds fun! Just have to remember to close my office door...

Two sets and done. I went over because my mind started wandering. haha Now for a quick walk around the block.

I'm just about 5'0, currently at 130, and my goal is 110-115. I was 115 in college (not too long ago), so I think I might want 110... if possible.

I'm in! I'm bored at work... nothing like crunches to pass the time!

I'm a long time vegan, and honestly, the most efficient way I've found to guarantee you hit your protein mark is with a protein powder supplement. I usually only use it on heavy workout days and manage to come near or reach my goal other days. I don't think it's really that difficult, but I do like the packaged foods such…

I'm 4'11 and 3/4... does that count? I'm 25, and my goal is about 15 pounds away. Feel free to add me.

MFP's estimates were often less than my FT7... I go with my HRM. You can't really trick it. :)

I know you've gotten tons of replies, but... Don't give up just because some stupid boy said something mean. Make these changes for you, so you are happy with you. if others notice, then great, but that's not the point. You should be happy and healthy. As for the guy- Well, is he worth it? If he's not all that special to…

Welcome! I'm 25. Feel free to add me, if you like.

Wow, this sounds awesome! Totally trying it.

It happened to me, too. I didn't really lose before our wedding (was happy and had a perfectly-fitting dress), but I gained after. It took me several months to realize it, though. My motivation to start was really just me... I wanted to feel more comfortable in my own skin. I guess you could say my current motivation is…

You'll do fine with either. Soy milk has a richer, creamier texture (and more calories). I typically use almond milk (fewer calories), and it tastes great.

Mine are super simple... I just layer a sprinkle of your fave Mexican cheese, little bit of Spanish rice (about 1/4 cup for one pepper), Morning Star crumbles, salsa and black olives and repeat until the pepper is full. It's really healthy and protein packed. One pepper is a serving, and I make homemade tortilla chips to…

Dice one up, put the chunks in a colander and salt to draw out the liquid. Then make a quick vinaigrette and slice cherry tomatoes in half. Mix it all together, and you've got an awesome summer salad.

I'm almost 5'0 :) I'm trying to lose about 15lbs...

BBL is absolutely effective. It's fun, energetic, and you really do see a difference in your bum bum and all over your body (especially thighs). There are six different workouts that you do on a schedule to match your butt type (pear, flat, big...). It sounds goofy, and you look goofy doing the cardio, but you will have a…

I've always been curious about this! I get up between 5 and 5:30 on weekdays, depending on the workout I want to do. I must be in the shower by 6am, or else I'll be late for work. My alarm goes off at 4:45... but I don't get out of bed until 5. I sleep with my sports bra on (no excuses!), so I just run downstairs and pop…

Ooh, my corgi's name is Starbuck, but we call her: Star, Fluffy butt, baby butt, crazy, puppy, silly fluffy, big girl, pupperbutt, bigs, bucks, cheesecake... Tiberius the ferret is also: Ti, Tiber, the emperor, tiny puppy (Starbuck is his puppy- momma), t.p., gigantosaur... And Pipa the ferret is also: Pips, Pipsqueak,…

I started out at 1200 calories, then I moved up to between 1500 and 1600 based on my TDEE, and now I'm back to 1200. I find that you can still eat a lot on 1200 calories, you just have to use them wisely. My meals for today include: Breakfast: Oatmeal Morning snack: two Smartdogs (I crave protein sometimes) Lunch: Arugula…

I log fruits and veggies, and as other posters said, I don't concern myself with the sugar from fruit. I don't track sugar at all, actually. I do consider cucumber and celery "free foods," but I still log them and have never gone over calories because of them. More so, I use those two as snacks I can have anytime and not…

I read that if you work out at all, 15lbs is a good place to start. I got that one, and my husband (who is in excellent shape and lifts wight all the time) said it was heavy enough for him to use. It's tough for me and easy for him, but we both can use it. If you can run out to a store and test one out, that's the best way…

When I became vegan 13 years ago, I dropped 20 pounds. But you have to realize that a lot of junk food is still vegan and just say no. My husband doesn't count calories, but he's been losing weight. He says he found what works for him-- during the work week, he has a small breakfast (cereal and yogurt; english muffin and…

i wish I could bump this a few years into the future to use some of these on my future kids. Love it! As a nanny, I definitely counted-- one toddler really responded, and the other took it as a dare. My parents never had rules for me or even chores... I turned out okay. haha

I've been vegan for 13 years (vegetarian for 4 years before that), and I'm25. My health is great... aside from the 10 pounds I'd like never to see again :) These days, I think it's pretty easy to be vegan and healthy. There are so many options, and protein is not even a concern of mine. Some people will tell you to avoid…

My perspective is that if I'm eating out, I want to enjoy something I can't (or won't) make at home. If a restaurant happens to have a yummy salad, that's great-- but I won't force it. And if I want fries, I eat my husband's :) They taste better from his plate anyway, and that way we share and I can't eat them all. I also…

I'll admit I haven't read all the responses because I'm quite certain this could get heated. I've done JUDDD before. When I lived by myself, I loved it. But it's super difficult when you have a husband :) He was super supportive while we were dating, but he's asked me not to do it again-- his food intake is affected by…

I won't lie... it's tough to find a lot of good low carb vegetarian meals-- or at least it takes effort I'm not always willing to expend :) My favorite is a taco salad-- Morning Star Crumbles with some taco seasoning on lettuce, with salsa, a few olives, bit of soy cheese and soy sour cream. It's pretty much my go to.…

Take a quick walk outside-- this always wakes me up. I'll walk around the building a couple times, maybe for ten minutes. Then I'm good to finish the work day.
