I have a super hard time liking whole wheat bread. Some good suggestions for that too would be awesome.

For me, it's about 1200 calories not working into my lifestyle. I wouldn't be able to have a glass of wine ever again :( And to me, being super skinny isn't worth not enjoying the food I love. I just want to be healthy.

good advice!

aerobic yoga. Seriously hardcore.

I'm 13 pounds heavier. I guess I better get a move on!

Just to clarify a few points: I used to be underweight myself back in high school college so I definitely know the difference between being petite with a small frame and being so skinny that you look unhealthy and sick. I used to get made fun of all the time, including being called anorexic, which I wasn't. My collarbone…

eep, duplicate post

The moment I upgraded my jean size thinking I would lose weight and fit back into my old jeans in no time, I ended up gaining more weight. Tightness is definitely a sign!! Gotta address it then and now before it's too late :(

Say what? That really exists??

what's your budget? Does he like to video game? Like maybe a Nintendo DS (handheld) with a cool game?

My rule of thumb with strength changing is if you feel like you are so tired you can't do anymore, do like 10 more. Sometimes you have to push yourself a bit or you don't make progress.

Am I the only one who immediately thought of World of Warcraft? That place can teach you a thing or two about trolling. And you can enter as a trolling apprentice. (<---- 80 resto druid, kingslayer hahahah)

Thanks to everyone who responded. Just to clear a few things up - people who eat only fish are called pescetarians. True "strict" vegetarians don't eat any animals- fish or otherwise. This is fact. I know a decade ago, it was commonplace to call yourself vegetarian even if you ate fish, but there is now a distinction. It's…

According to Dr. Weil, brisk walks is super healthy for you. Keep on keeping on! I do half my workouts with brisk walks and the other half yoga. The reason for this is that if you strengthen as well as lose weight, you're going to tone up, lose itches, and avoid that flabby skin problem some people have by avoiding…

PS: please tell me 27 is mid 20s.

Truthfully, you should eat 30 minutes, at least, before bed. Or, even if you exercise, your body is up processing that food. The reason is, for many of us, eating right after you exercise means your body is going to hold onto those calories because it's like "holy crap dude, I need some energy!!" If you wait 30 minutes,…

I'm the worst. I will horde calories and dive into 2 soft pretzels with honey mustard. love. 160 calories a piece lol!!

omg we should be best friends.

lolcats has a special place in my heart.

You probably will hear this a lot, but you really should not go under 1200 calories. (unless you mean like +5 or something) Your body will go into starvation mode and will actually start retaining fat. What are you eating? Can't view your diary, otherwise would suggest something for you.

binary, the dead cat is kind of sad ;(

I can barely read an analogue clock!!! Digital scale for me, dude.

That would mean coke 0 would be considered water replacement and that is just flat out incorrect. It's horrible for you plus anything with caffeine, including green tea, is a diuretic. And the more you drink, the more you're going to feel it. Herbal tea without milk or sugar? Maybe.

I'm pigging out. Probably won't stuff myself silly (or hell, maybe I will!) but I'm definitely not counting calories. There isn't anything wrong with going crazy one day, but you just have to get back to your daily routine after. Thanksgiving, for me, isn't about rewarding myself with food or even looking forward to all my…

One thing I'm dealing with is mistaking heartburn for hunger pains. Sometimes when my stomach is on empty, I'll feel the burning sensation, which makes me want to eat. If I drink plenty of water this definitely helps feeling hungry. Figured I'd offer something different just in case you might have the same problem I do.

Prepared foods, even vegetarian, are packed with lots of sodium. With that being said, sodium isn't GOD AWFUL for you. Going over your sodium a little is far better than going over your sugar. Just drink extra water. Walnuts are super high in calorie but oh-so-good for you. Try snacking on them during the day and I bet you…

I've been putting half a teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of honey in my tea every week, sometimes every day, and I am still losing weight. If you are going through with this lifestyle change, you have to incorporate things you love, even if that means smaller quantities, or you'll fall off the band wagon. Try starting with a…
