there are lots of really healthy granolas out there. just saying. also, i make my own sometimes and its fantastic. the almonds make it higher cal but that doesnt mean its unhealthy.

honestly these foods themselves are not unhealthy. Obviously you can make anything bad for you by adding ingredients that are unhealthy. The fewer ingredients something has the healthier it is; basic rule of thumb. (not always, especially if you are mixing things together to make some super food). peanut butter that you…

lol if only my room mate would leave once in a while

Monday was by 21st birthday and it was my first splurge day in 6 months. Let me say that i felt ****ty and Its been hard to get back on track. I dont think ill be doing that again anytime soon. I do higher calorie days but I always stay under.

I use it like a safety net. If i dont feel like eating them back I dont. If im neutral about it i dont. If im hungry than I do. It gives you room to be flexible.

i dont really agree. Bingeing does change the scale for me.

only water is water.

think about all those people who have ****ed up their bodies via eating disorders and gained weight later in life because they couldnt be healthy. You are doing your body and your self esteem a favor by getting healthy sooner. (You will also be able to maintain an attractive body when you ana friends are going back and…

i combatted this by only having a limited supply of food at any given time. For example, if I wanted to snack right now my only option would be an orange. But that is easier for me because I dont have a refrigerator or kitchen lol.

yea its for sure from the candy. For me that reaction happens within an hour of eating sugar. I get really sluggish and depressed till I eat some pure protein and sleep it off. Its actually worse than a hangover lol.

its not the weekend factor, its the unhealthy friends factor.

I love the gym. Its my favorite part of every day. BUT that was also true when I gained all the weight so what do i know.

this

I totally understand !I cant wear shirts that are no stretchy. Any kind of button startchy shirt make me feel so constrained, Especially if i accidently flex lol

Thanks! I dont have a PT and I have been doing lots of lunges and squats trying to target my gluts. Maybe they bulked up my thighs by mistake. What kind of cardio? I alternate between 4-5 mile runs and sprints/intervals.

Ok, ill just keep doing what i have been doing lol. I have decreased my bf % from 29 to 25 and my thighs didnt get smaller, thats why I was asking.

I depends if you eat the kind with added sugar and tons of crap. thats not good for you. peanutbutter that is really just peanuts ? good for you.

While the rest of my body has gone down in measurements my thighs have increased. If no one else has experienced this than dont worry about it but if you have and you know how to workout without bulking them up than please let me know.

there is really not much fat on them. they feel like rocks.

lol

I have lost a lot from my boobs which is great, I am really happy to not be called "tits" anymore. (I wish I was kidding) HOWEVER they are looking pretty saggy for 20 year old boobs. Its like the boobs shrank but the skin is still too big lol. Does anyone have any tips for this? firming lotion? peck exercises ?

lol no. weight is weight but muscle weight is just "better" weight

not to mention risks that have nothing to do with pregnancy !

I went through several kinds of bc pills (3 or 4 im not sure). They all made me moody and fat. (Literally in 1 semester I gained 40 lbs. I would start crying when I would check my mailbox and it would be empty...NOT fun.) Im currently off any hormonal birth control (YAY). I use the paraguard. LOVE IT. its not without…

Just a heads up, you can still get pregnant from the pull out method !

lol this is assuming that doctors are the ONLY people who know the difference between a healthy lifestyle and an unhealthy one. How many people here gained weight because they thought eating fast food and living a sedentary life was good for them? Doctors deal with high stress every day, that is why there are so many…

I posted about this exact thing a few weeks ago. Im just waiting it out and wearing a belt all the time. My mom commented that i was "rockin the homeless look" lol

not sure. A combination of lots of things. College, Birth control pills, a relationship with a fast food addict, depression. all of which contributed to poor eating habits, though I was consistantly working out through the weight gain process.

true. I also try to stay away from artificial sweetener, just to throw another curveball in there lol
