Yes! Plus I can feel my spine in every hardbacked chair. Lovely.

If the starvation mode thing is correct, I've been in it for my entire weight loss journey. Hmm...

Pinterest is a virtual pinboard on which you can make different pages and collect articles, pictures, and videos in one spot (so you have a bunch of related links on one page, you know?), and Tumblr is kind of like a blog, except you can post little things like pictures and "status updates" as well as blog writing, and you…

http://pinterest.com/DeLuxe/ This is my favorite way to collect healthy recipes and workouts (besides Tumblr, of course!).

Except it all tastes terrible. Believe me, the peanut butter doesn't taste like peanut butter at all.

Nestle Fat Free Hot Chocolate - 20 calories (Swiss Miss has a diet one for 25 cals, too) Sugar-Free Jell-o - 5 calories Sugar-Free Pudding - 60-70 calories (The caramel and chocolate ones are my favorite) 1/4 cup oatmeal with 1 tbsp sugar-free syrup - about 85 calories Have you ever tried doing something new with your…

Nay. First of all, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXoKe5QvCrk It's Kai, who won BL one season. She gained a lot of weight back because the BL life is just not sustainable in the long run. They exercise six hours a day (who really has time for that?!), they're constantly dehydrated (on purpose), and…

1/2 cup Fiber One with 1/2 cup Cheerios mixed with some blueberries and a 1/2 cup of almond milk = 140-150 calories 1/2 cup liquid eggs scrambled with a TON of spinach or with some frozen veggies (like parisian style or something that's 30-35 cals/cup) = 90-100 calories (+40-45 if I eat it with Sara Lee low calorie bread)…

I do. I've heard that you shouldn't, but that's usually from people who tend to binge when they get hungry. My BMR is 1600-something, and I usually eat between 1200 and 1400 a day and work off about 500 (which I also don't eat back). I've lost 99.6 pounds so far (just .4 more!), and I'm still going strong. I'm confident…

I try to get as much fiber and protein as a I can. Usually, a lunch of black beans, chicken, salsa, and lettuce will keep me full until dinner (and if I get hungry, I can always have an apple). For breakfast, it's Fiber One or Kashi GoLean with some sort of fruit and a ton of water, and for dinner, it's a humongous salad…

135, ultimately, but I'm working toward 145 to see how I feel. Hopefully I'll have enough muscle that I'll LOOK like 135. :)

10 cocoa almonds 1 packet of Swiss Miss diet hot chocolate Half a banana Small apple Celery (or any veggie, really) and hummus Frozen veggies (the stir fry mixes are my favorites) 1/4 cup egg beaters/3 boiled egg whites Rice cake with mustard (don't judge) or sugar-free strawberry preserves 10-ish baby carrots

I'd say eat some more healthy fats (they're actually supposed to help you lose weight). Almonds, avocado, peanut butter, and other nut-based products are good sources, and they're usually higher in calories. Put some peanut butter on your apples or have some chips and guacamole, and you'll find it adding up.

I don't travel a whole lot, but I have gone on several trips recently. Basically, I like to pack a huge cooler full of veggies to make salads, veggies to eat for snacks (baby carrots, chopped up cucumbers, and the like), a ton of fruit, and other low-calorie options (rice cakes, already-portioned-out packs of almonds or…

I had the same problem, but one day, I looked in the mirror and realized that they were almost gone! I hadn't seen a difference for several months, but suddenly, miracle of miracles! I heard that you lose weight in the same way you put it on, so if your back is one of the first places you started storing fat, you might…

I usually get around that. Feel free to check out my diary! I eat basically the same things every day.

Any of my sister's clothes! She's naturally small, and the day that I call her up and ask to borrow a dress will be the happiest of my life.

Starvation mode takes weeks to kick in; you don't have to worry about it after a day. And I wouldn't say that you have to eat your cals tomorrow, either. If you're not hungry, you're not hungry! :D If you binged today, you wouldn't starve yourself tomorrow, would you? Nope! Just go along as normal, and be thankful that…

6-inch roasted chicken on 9-grain (toasted!) with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, spinach, and green peppers. Yum! Or I'll do a salad with all of the above, plus a side cup of fat-free whatever dressing to dip my fork in. Add some apples and a diet coke, and I'm a happy camper.

Yes, it does. When? When you get better at it. I used to hate cardio, but after forcing myself to run every day, I began to build up my endurance, making the running easier to where I could focus on other things than how much my legs and lungs burned. I used to quit after a quarter of a mile, but now I've worked up to…

I never eat back my cals, and I'm just fine. I usually have trouble reaching 1200 (and I burn between 900 and 1200 calories every day in the gym). :P My weight loss is fine (2-3 pounds a week), my energy is normal, and my metabolism hasn't crashed and burned. If you're full, you're full! You'll be fine if you don't eat.

Ugh. Same. :P I love eating after 10. I've read in several studies, though, that it doesn't hurt to eat late at night, so I'll save about 300 calories so I can have some 100 calorie popcorn and some oatmeal or something. I recommend the oatmeal especially, because it's super filling (especially if you add apple slices or…

I'm 5'8" and a size 12 at 185 lbs.

Mile 2. Even if I'm running 6 or 7 miles, the second one ALWAYS seems to take the longest. I think it's because I'm just past that not-at-all-tired-yet stage and just before the I'm-used-to-it-now stage. :P

Hungry-girl.com! :D She's got amazing recipes that are low-cal, filling, easy, and absolutely delicious. What I love about her recipes are that they're realistic. They're a lot easier than some that I've found that have 7 million spices and take 5 hours to make, and she has great ideas for grocery shopping to cut cals and…

Ugh, that'd be me. ;) Though I still struggle with this, I try to implement a few tips here and there if I'm eating around civilized company. ;) - Eat with my opposite hand (makes it more difficult, i.e. slower). - Put down my fork every time (it gets awkward to constantly put it down and pick it up again, so you eat…

Lots of water, and lots of veggies. Simple as that.

I absolutely despised running when I first started, but now I prefer it to other forms of exercise. I think it's because I just got better at it. When I first started running, I could barely finish a lap. Now I can run about 6 miles, and the first three are usually pretty pleasant. I think I like it more simply because I'm…

I really love chocolate, cheese, and bread. No psychological problems here.

This might sound terrible, but when I looked at a picture of me and my friend (who I always thought was quite large) and saw that I was bigger than she. Had salad and fruit for dinner that night. ;)
