I just started today! I like it, but it didn't log distance, speed, pace, or calories, even though it has room for that information to be displayed. Does it log that stuff for you?

Getting more fruits and veggies is always a good thing! But I wouldn't do -only- salads, you'd have to eat SO much salad to get enough calories. Maybe have a small fruit salad with your breakfast and then a giant veggie salad as lunch or dinner... you can add hard boiled eggs, nuts and seeds (I love sunflower seeds on…

Congrats, that's awesome! Yesterday mine said "if every day were like today, you would weight 150.5" and I was like, heck yes. So I marked it on my calendar as a mini goal. :) End of February.

Drink a lot of water and have a snack. Somebody more experienced can probably suggest exactly what *kind* of snack you should be looking for, but... maybe a big salad, because you can eat a LOT of veggies for fairly few calories? Or a shake?

I try to log before hand as much as possible. That way I know ahead of time exactly what I can/can't have for that meal. I generally regret logging things after I've eaten them because it's easy to go over without even thinking about it! Logging before you eat means you have the chance to make adjustments before it's…

I mean, you can't just lose fat on one particular part of your body... muscle isn't going to hurt your appearance, lol. 115 is a pretty slim weight to start, for your height. Working out your abs and stuff IS going to build 'a layer of muscle' I guess, but that would be a GOOD thing - that's what you want, right? For your…

50?

I just downloaded Zombies, Run! I want to start it Monday, Tuesday at the latest. So far I've been using the elliptical 3-4 times/week and walking for around an hour on weekdays so I'm hoping it wont kick my butt -too- hard to start. ;)

None... my gym at school actually has "No perfume/cologne" listed in their Rules & Guidelines. I feel like as long as you've got deodorant on, you're good. :)

Track as accurately as you can! They're totally right, fruit especially adds up. And don't NOT eat your fruit because you know you have to log it... eat your fruit, and either cut something less healthy or add a little activity to your day to stay on track. I 'guessestimate' on leafy greens sometimes because they are SO…

I'm 5'3" and I'm going to assess how I feel once I get to 140. I honestly can't imagine being smaller than 125 ever. I'm guessing my happy, healthy weight to be a fit 130-something but honestly, I've been in the high 150's/low 160's my entire adult life so I have no concrete idea as of yet.

I've been with my guy 3.25 years and we're not living together or engaged yet. We have an awesome relationship! We are right where we need to be at this point in our lives. My best friend, however, met her husband of 4+ years online, met him in person like 3 months later, got engaged the week they met in person, and was…

2 of our free-range eggs, a flour tortilla, and some salsa.

And even in an online forum like this where the above example isn't relevant, what is so offensive/annoying/wrong of someone to ID themselves as vegetarian? We made a choice about something, obviously we feel strongly about it, and we like to discuss it sometimes.

The amount of stupidity and disrespect in this thread is incredible. People like to make jokes about vegetarians identifying themselves - have they ever considered that because vegetarians/vegans are not the norm, it might avoid awkward situations if their friends and family know BEFORE they consider inviting them to a…

Depression and a cripplingly low self-esteem, paired with living off the food from possibly the worst version of a 'charity food bank' ever - highly processed junk food, almost exclusively. I was 14/15 at the time, and not actually 'fat' - well within healthy ranges, but not as skinny and well-muscled as I had been up…

Disney-princess worthy hair! <3

Thanks for the warning. I had a candle in a big glass jar that actually cracked the glass when it got close to empty! Little glass shards everywhere... I'd have thought they'd use a glass that wouldn't react that way to heat, but whatever. It was a pain to clean up but clearly could have been worse. Hope your arm heals…

I've been putting it in healthy chocolate smoothies. It's my favorite! 2 C Spinach 3/4 C Almond Milk (or dairy) 1/2 C Rolled Oats 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder 1 Banana 1 Teaspoon vanilla 2-4 ice cubes You can add a couple drops of stevia if you feel the need to sweeten it (I think the banana and vanilla do a fantastic job on…

Went and photographed a beeaautiful baby shower, and then spent some quality time meeting some lovely, like-minded ladies for a new women's group. It was a good day.

Before and afters are my favorite! Thanks so much for sharing, everyone! :)

I've switched to using liquid Stevia in my tea, which tastes really great, and I'm trying to adjust to using it in my coffee. Some people LOVE it in their coffee but it tastes just a little off to me, personally. Sometimes I use almond milk in my coffee.

Height: 5'3" Starting weight: 165.5 Current weight: 160.5 Goal weight: 120-130, somewhere in there. I'll know it when I get there. :)

Some people feel more secure showing more of their bodies on fitness sites like this. It ought to be a safe place where a person can be free of harassment, no matter what their body looks like or how much they feel comfortable showing. Nobody complains about dudes posting shirtless photos in workout shorts or swim…
