the carton of egg whites looks exactly like a mini milk carton, which you may have not known if you've never seen them d:

they have cartons of egg whites. they are found right next to the regular eggs and they are pretty good in price. make sure you get the 100% egg whites, and not egg beaters. egg eaters have so many crap chemicals that your body doesn't need.

you dont need to go to whole foods in order to get healthy wholesome foods. I don't have one near me (yet) and I get healthy foods at my normal grocery store and even walmart. that being said, I am also a single person who lives alone, so I do find that veggies will go bad before I use them. I do buy some frozen fruits and…

just checked out that website briefly and it looks amazing. so many recipes and they're sorted by category. thanks!

I actually just read the 'Skinny B!itch' book and that's what gave me the motivation to switch from vegetarian to vegan. I haven't looked into the other books, but I definitely will!

I've been vegetarian for about two months now so I already have a head start and thankfully I love beans and quinoa and lentils and such. and I bought the Ezekial bread because I tried to give up bread, and it just wasnt working :P and I really like the idea of making quinoa into a warm breakfast cereal type thing. I'll…

they have the same nutritional stats as long as you don't add anything when you're cooking, such as butter.

tacos can be made with pretty much anything including meat and/or veggies. I made stir frys alot with veggies but you can put whatever meat you like or even tofu. I also make quesadillas that aren't that high in calories with low carb tortillas, mashed beans, some 2% cheese, and even shredded chicken when I ate meat.

I got pretty new running shoes (pink nikes) and a little iPod to run with cause my other one is too heavy. :)

those sound super yummy. i made oatmeal cookies, but they were definitely not healthy, haha.

honestly, i think natural foods would be so much better for you in the long run. slim fast shakes are pumped full of chemicals and sugars that are horrible for your body. If you really want to do the shake thing, you can buy a canister of quality protein powder and mix that with some milk. but if you change your eating…

make a list of things you like to eat and go from there. You can make anything at home and its so much better for you than going out or eating processed foods. Start with the meals you plan on making. eatingwell.com is a great resource and even has a section for making meals for two people. after you know what you want to…

it's made out of corn meal, so i would imagine i would taste like mushy cornbread maybe. not mushy in a bad way, just creamier. haha. this probably doesn't help at all, but i can probably guarantee that it tastes better than placenta :P

mine is usually more than two pounds, haha. that's why i stopped weighing myself at night.

and food for thought..every single one of them is still categorized as "overweight" (some still obese) on the BMI scale according to the wikipedia chart. ada is the closest one and she only has a few more pounds until she is a "normal" weight. however, they are all extremely more healthy than they were than they started…

you are very welcome. :) and they seem to have done a lot of strength training on the ranch, so she is probably pretty muscular. and miss tara you are absolutely beautiful no matter what height you are :)

she's 5'6''

so i'm reading your guys' posts because i cannot stand to wait another hour and half and its making me more and more excited to actually see everyone's transformations, especially mark's :P

i bought it in october too, but my dvd player broke :( so i haven't been able to start it.

220 pounds, or more. but i am in the 160s now. :)

the sauna doesn't really burn calories, it just makes you sweat which makes you lose water weight. but when you start drinking water again, your weight goes back to normal. a good rule of thumb is to only log things that make you work hard. sitting a sauna is more relaxation than working :P but that doesn't mean you should…

i usually go with the grams measurement because it seems more accurate the weigh something rather than count it out, but that's just my opinion.

if you HAVE to get something from starbucks, you can get the chicken on flatbread with hummus (250 calories, 17 grams of protein) or the protein snack plate (370 calories, 13 grams of protein). sometimes they also have a farmer's market salad or even a fruit salad that is low in calories but will fill you up. just stay…

i love this! i can't wait to get to this point! and it definitely takes a lot to get to the point where you truly love your body.

I didn't even realize your collarbones were supposed to show until mine did. haha. after I started seeing mine, I started looking at everyone else and saw that you could see everyone's. one of the best things about losing weight!

I agree that Ada will be the third finalist. and even though I really want her to win the whole shebang, I think one of the guys wil win it for sure. I also think mark will be the at home winner because he lost the most at the ranch and he even moved in with his cousin after he got eliminated, so shes there to keep him in…

i usually cut mine and then weigh it. but you could just weigh the whole apple, and then weigh the core when you're done eating, then subtract the core weight from the whole apple weight edit: delayed response :P

wwwoooww! you look incredible and SOO much younger. great job!

I am going to get a tattoo on my side, across my ribs. i haven't decided on what it's actually going to be, but it's going to represent my weight loss journey. and even though my tummy won't look fantastic no matter how hard I try, im going to get my belly button pierced.

i think that's a great idea for people who have trouble getting all their water in. i think people accomplish more when they challenge themselves in some way. ps. i totally thought that each week was actually a day, and by the end you were supposed to drink 49+ cups of water a day :p that is what finals and stress does to…
