Thanks guys! I'm trying to stay positive... I think I'm just going to forget the scale for a few weeks and then try and weigh myself again :]

5'5", current weight about 139.... want to be 125 by spring break! That will be right after I run a half marathon :]

I'm 5'5, 139 pounds, and I eat between 1,100 and 1,500 daily, depending on the amount of exercise I do that day.

MY tuna sandwich :] with eggless mayo, apples, and almond slices. On whole wheat bread... MMMMM

My favorite Beatles song :]

You don't really taste the lemon much... it's to balance out the sugar. But if you use orange juice, just make sure to add a bit of water to dilute it otherwise it will be super sweet!

Yes it is... if you don't have a membership to Costco, Trader Joe's or other natural food stores usually have wild caught salmon!

Laughing Cow lite cheese wedges! 35 calories each! perfect paired with carrot sticks

sounds really yummy ! will have to try

Thanks for all the advice everybody! YES I KNOW I'M A BABY WHEN IT COMES TO WEATHER!!! It's been in the 50's or 60's when I've been running depending on the time of day. don't laugh at me! The desert can have this cold, dry air unlike any other... then we get the worst heat in the summer

Yep they're about regular size.. I'd say between 6-8 inches

hmmm tried to post a picture but definitely not working

I read a new study that you're supposed to have 51 percent of your diet consist of raw fruits and veggies. Once I became a vegetarian, I noticed a significant change in my regularity. Try incorporating more veggies and animal proteins

It sounds like you need therapy or rehab. If you can't afford it, try Meetup.com and look for depression help groups. Good luck.

I gained back some weight when I first stopped using MFP... I agree with Apryl. It's about a lifestyle change... I think for me, I'll use MFP until I'm at my goal weight and maybe even a bit after. As long as I'm consistently working out, and learning about portion sizes and nutritional content, I should be okay, and you…

I like salad... but I usually try to spice it up with some bleu cheese and apples, or hard boiled eggs and sundried tomatoes.. In any case, even if you're not eating salad, it's important to eat plenty of raw fruits and veggies. I would recommend incorporating carrot sticks, celery or tomatoes as snacks if you're not going…

Well, I always make my chili vegan... cuts down on the calories for sure. Also, spice it with some onion and garlic powder.... you wont even need to add cheese :)

I think the thing to remember is portion size. If you go to Chipolte, get a salad, not a burrito... or, cut the burrito in half or thirds and save the rest for later. Don't cheat yourself of your favorite foods... treat yourself once in a while but don't overeat

I had a Wii Fit Plus.... but I returned it because most of the exercises were only a couple of minutes long and it really was just tedious
