I feel so much better when I am exercising and especially after a really good work out. I feel accomplished with that sweat dripping down my face and my shirt stuck to my back. I feel powerful when I am able to push myself further than ever before. I feel healthy knowing that I don't need to rely on my rescue inhaler…

My NP suggested at least 60 oz per day, and more if I am exercising.

People I see regularly at work didn't start noticing until I had lost almost 20 lbs. Thought now someone new mentions it almost every shift which is nice. But of course I'm not doing this for them haha, though I appreciate the positive comments.

I don't usually bring it up but people at both jobs have been commenting on my weight loss and saying I look good. Usually they ask if I'm trying and if so what am I doing. In that case I tell them I count calories and exercise regularly. Often they ask if its hard and I'll mention that I use an app on my phone so its…

When I'm going out I try to hit the gym and burn a lot so I have a hefty deficit to work with. If I'm not going for food and drinks then I try and have a really great dinner with whole grains, lean protein, lots of vegetables yadayadayada. If I'm going out for food and drinks? Well...I haven't really mastered that one.…

I've been using Brianna's Blush Wine Vinaigrette over a salad of mixed greens or spinach with goat cheese, pecans and dried cranberries. Sooooo delicious =] I also like just lemon juice and olive oil for salads with feta.

This sounds awesome! I just out for Indian and now I'm craving some more of the same flavors. Thanks!

I've begun trying to weigh everything. I use to eye-ball my lettuce but after weighing I realized how far I was off!

Currently snuggled on the couch with hot water bottle and a hot cup of chamomile! I like Stash Premium and Celestial Seasonings for brands. I currently have green, chamomile, chai, earl gray, and about a million different herbal blends. I think I have at least one cup per day, but usually more.

I've known some friends to get anemic while on their period which could definitely contribute to weakness and fatigue. As for pain, I know I feel better when I exercise so I try to hit the gym or at least walk during my period. It seems to work for me.
-
yum that looks great!
-
I had an awesome salad once with just some red quinoa, walnuts, dried cranberries, avocado, and cucumbers. I served it over some baby romaine with a poppy seed dressing. Usually I make tabbouleh though, but someone else already beat me to that suggestion :tongue:
-
I'm in! I attempted the past two challenges but didn't lose 5 lbs in either month....only 1.6 lbs in April, but I can definitely feel and see a difference in my body so I know positive changes are happening regardless of the scale. However I still have upwards of 20 lbs to lose so I will try again! SW: 210 (December, 2011)…
-
yum thanks for sharing!
-
I have so few things that fit well and look good enough to go out in. I have to cinch my belt so tight to just keep my pants on my body that the waist bunches and looks terrible! I still want to lose more so I don't want to buy a new wardrobe quite yet =/ Once the semester is over I plan to bring some of my nicer big…

At 16 or 17 (jeeze I'm not that old, I don't know why I can't remember!) I weighed in at 299 lbs. Now I'm 22 and 189. I'm not at my goal but I'm getting there =]
-
Always always always cold =[ I tried tracking my iron on here to see if that was the issue but I was never too deficient when I monitored my weekly intake. I think my body misses the fat hahaha but I sure don't!

I don't even know what my current size is but my size 12's from Lane Bryant are literally falling off..its indecent!
-
yum! Will definitely be trying these soon!

I try and cook a large amount of food when I have the chance. for example, today is a "reading day" before finals so no classes, just supposed to study. I made a big batch of pasta sauce (about 8 cups, so 16 servings) while sitting in the dining room trying to cram a whole mess of information into my brain. I then had some…

Hey I'm 22 and I have about 20-30 lbs to lose. I'm mostly interested in losing more fat and building muscle so I'm not overly concerned with any number. My diary is open, feel free to add! (a message would be preferred though =])
-
Well I guess I will just have to satisfy myself with the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries I have growing in my garden right now =] Hopefully they continue to grow well all summer long!
-
The difference with that 50lb loss is awesome! I bet you are feeling wonderful as well =]
-
Not only should you definitely eat breakfast before going but make sure to drink water tonight and tomorrow morning! I have recently started making shakes in the morning before going to the gym but any normal healthy breakfast will be fine. Good luck! And way to go in taking another step towards a healthier you!

If you only want a few I'm sure halving the recipe would be simple enough...or do do what I did and bring a whole bunch to work! Luckily people love cookies, especially free and unexpected cookies haha. I haven't tried meringue cookies but I've seen recipes and they look really light and airy!
