Always looking for new people to help keep motivated :)

It's always a good topic when Supernatural is brought into it :) But OP, personally I wouldn't care about my fiance going to a strip club because I've been to one myself and didn't tell him till afterwards (he was a little weary about it but not mad or anything, also I was DD which was why I was there in the first place)…

The best thing to do to get your LDL cholesterol lower and HDL higher is to moderately exercise 30 minutes daily (this could be as simple as a walk), eating the good fats (avocado, nuts, vegetable oils, omega-3s, omega-6s, etc), limiting saturated fats to less than 7% of your daily fat goals, and avoid trans fats. This is…

Are you eating clean, because that is a big part of it too

Since you don't have access to the nutritional content you'll just have to estimate, which in my opinion is better than not counting anything at all. Start learning how to properly eyeball measurements (http://caloriecount.about.com/article/when_you_cant_measure_estimate_portions). Then when you go to log what you're…

Fat may offer the most calorie per gram ratio, but protein is the most satisfying from a nutritionist standpoint :)

I'm 23 and working on my second degree :) Feel free to add me! I gained most of my weight in culinary school and I've maintained that since starting university for nutrition, now I'm trying to get back to a normal weight range and be healthy!

I'm also planning to be married in 2015 and really want to be rocking for it too! I've been on-again/off-again with the logging and exercise for about 2 years, but really want to be in shape for my wedding. Feel free to add me!

22, looking to lose 20 - 25 lbs, in college and working (makes it hard to find time to work out sometimes). Anyone feel free to add me! :D

Congratulations on your loss so far! I have about 20 lbs to lose :) Feel free to add me!

I'm 22 and a student as well. I don't work out right now, but I work at a job where I'm on my feet all day so I consider that my exercise until it gets warmer and I can start the C25k again. I also just got a body media to help me track my calories more accurately. I do log every day, but some days I forget to submit when…

Corgi! :D They're my favorite!

You look so great!

I used to live in RI and miss it. I've lived in TN my whole life except the 4 months I was in RI. But ultimately, I would either want to move to WY or AK.

I'm on and log everyday, anyone feel free to add me :D

I have Kashi Go Lean and add Dark Chocolate Almonds and Chia Seeds. It's pretty awesome :)

I am :) I don't have anyone in person to keep me motivated, so I rely on MFP

I'm 22 but would still like to be a supportive friend :)

Bump :) Awesome job everyone!

Way to go! So motivating :)

What's your favorite thing about the profession? Is there anything you didn't expect going into it? I'm currently getting my undergrad in Nutrition and plan to continue with my masters and doctorate later on. Thanks! :)

Great job! You look fantastic!
