Also the chipotle bowl you describe is almost exactly what I get! I always order brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, pico, corn, salsa, guac and lettuce.

I loved this post, thank you so much for sharing! Of course, not one diet fits all but I am inspired by your resolve and how in tune you are with your body.

Yes I loved the documentary! although as you'll probably hear from others, juice cleanses are not really necessary for good health. What you could do is incorporate juicing into a diet that is also rich with other nutritious foods. And maybe replace one meal a day with a juice or even a green smoothie :) That way you'll…

This is such a common plight for college students, that I actually wrote out all my tips in my blog (a 3 part post!). I'll leave the links here for you, so others don't have to scroll through tons of info: Part 1: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/SamanthaAnnM/view/surviving-dorm-life-part-1-the-cafeteria-333507 Part 2:…

You can't go wrong with balsamic vinegar and olive oil! Or lemon juice and olive oil :)

I'll be 23 in a few weeks! I use MFP to keep track of what I eat, lose a bit of fat, and get really fit! Feel free to add me, I love motivating friends!

I love the taste of truvia, I am not entirely sold on it being "healthy" but I can't bring myself to stop using it! To me stevia has a strange aftertaste.

Just look at it this way: can 1 good day of eating make you magically healthy and skinny? Of course not! (I wish it were that easy...) Everyone has bad days sometimes. Just keep on track, and remember that 1 lb of weight is 3500 calories so it takes time both to lose it AND to gain it! One day won't make or break you!

Smoothies are great because there are just sooooo many options! Some things I keep around for my smoothies are - Frozen fruit medleys (any kind of fruit) - Bananas (you can also freeze them) - Almond milk (sometimes I'll just use water though) - Almond butter - Greens (spinach, kale, parsley) - Chia seeds Usually, I'll…

Whole wheat toast with almond butter Fruit Eggs or eggs whites, with veggies, spices, or salsa Smoothie/protein shake

I've found pinterest is a great resource for smoothie recipes!

Squats are a full body exercise, so they will work many other muscles, not just your butt! focus on the correct form, and make sure you concentrate on squeezing and activating those glute muscles!

I used to drink soda all the time, but stopped buying it because I wanted to be healthier. Honestly, I don't miss having it! On special occasions I will, or when I'm eating out (which is infrequent enough to make it a special treat). If you are still within your calorie goals drinking soda, then you don't HAVE to give it…

Cauliflower pizza is the BOMB. glad you liked it! :)

Sent you a request!! :)

Take a hot bath with epsom salts dissolved in the water!

I love almond butter! I get mine from Sprouts, where the only ingredient is almonds. It's not low calorie but it is filling and definitely healthy! Almonds are very good for you :) The same goes for peanut butter, I only eat the kind that is just ground up peanuts. But at the end of the day I definitely prefer the almond…

I'm 23! (Well, I will be in a few weeks, anyway) Feel free to add me if you want a motivating friend! :)

Can't wait to try this! Could you sub almond milk for the skim milk?

I'm turning 23 in just a few weeks (eek! I'm getting so old!) Would love for anyone to add me :)

Feel free to add me! College senior (well, technically I've finished all my classes but I still feel like a college student!)

I have the same issue - I'm happy to be working out once I get there, feel great about myself afterwards but oh my gosh if it isn't the hardest thing to just leave the house and go!!! A few things that I do: - Schedule it into my day in advance - Look at motivating images on pinterest and tumblr - Put on my workout clothes…

I'm a college student (junior)! Please feel free to add me, I love having new friends!

I have a few! This one is general food, most is healthy because I have a separate "guilty pleasures" board: http://pinterest.com/samanthaamoon/bon-appetit/ Fitness: http://pinterest.com/samanthaamoon/bikini-body/ Health and clean eating: http://pinterest.com/samanthaamoon/clean-healthy/ And smoothies:…

Reading this thread is funny because so much of the food everyone is listing is delicious, in my opinion! My only contribution is cottage cheese. I'm not a picky eater at all but I just can't eat the stuff.

Looooove them!!! The perfect crunchy snack :)

I eat more "real food" like fruits and veggies, whole wheat grains, and organic almond butter. I also pay better attention to portion sizes and I don't eat when I'm not hungry!
