Amazing!!!

Two slices of toast with peanut butter. Delicious and filling!

I'll just have to get used to it. I think I'll wake up earlier to beat the heat in the mornings. I like the idea of a spray bottle too!

I just recently stared working out in the morning, and it's hard to get into. I would recommend establishing a routine. I wake up at 7, eat breakfast with some protein and drink some coffee so that the workout doesn't leave me hungry and tired, and spend the next hour slowly waking up and letting the food digest enough to…

Books at a flea market. :)

If regular stool softeners and laxatives don't work, milk of magnesia can usually solve the problem temporarily! Also, being hydrated is essential. Sometimes waste dries out in the colon, making it difficult and painful to go. Try totally flushing out your system with water.

I can definitely relate. Living in the dorms has made me gain so much weight. I don't know how your cafeteria is set up, but I always start off with salad and water, and then go to other foods. I'm a little more full, so I don't tend to eat as much. I also keep food in my room for snacking or dinner when I don't feel like…

I think that it definitely has to do with water weight, and maybe the fact that I've cut out soda.

I've actually lost a few inches already in my waist. It's showing both on the scale and in the mirror.

Thank you! I'm certainly not complaining, I just want to make sure that I'm not doing something that will negatively effect my dieting later on!

Thank you! Sometimes I need a reminder. :) What a lovely start to the day!

19! Feel free to add, I would love some support from people my age!

If I were you, I'd not only plan for food, but also plan for a busy day. The less downtime you have, the less tempting the unhealthy foods will get!

I'm in the same boat Kayla! Welcome back and good luck!

New clothes! There are a lot of clothes I've always wanted to wear, but wouldn't look good on my body. When I get to where I want to be, I'm taking myself shopping!

I check the scale every morning. I pee, take off most of my clothes and check it. This keeps it pretty consistent from day to day, and can show me my true progress. Your weight WILL fluctuate throughout the day, so if you check it, keep in mind that you do weigh more throughout the day.

I love peaches and cream instant oatmeal from Quaker. One packet is 130 calories, and it will keep you full for a while. :)
