Oh I completely agree! I lost about 30 lbs in one year, and kept all of it off the remaining year (even lost an additional 5 from general clean eating). But I've learned that if I want to push myself I need a focused "end" to which I can switch to maintaining and muscle building again:) I probably SHOULD have also…

Not to spark a religious debate now, but with all the varying religions and religious beliefs it may not be best to defend your reasoning through the bible. I think if it's for your job and your employer demands it, either get it or get out easy enough :) I completely agree with the above point though the flu shot is much…

sorry, double post

Its probably not something you want to follow too strictly. But it does say "if every day were like to day, you'd weight __ in 5 weeks" So its just if you consistently ate that amount. And its based on one day, not cumulative of when you started. As some of us have been using this application for years rather than just…

Thanks for all the great tips everyone! I definitely think I'm going to try working out more, you really can't be in a bad mood when after a good workout. Maybe I should save my self the trouble and just study at the gym. I probably should have mentioned though, I'm still first year which means living on campus! I keep…

skippping, ive actually been stopped at the gym by people to compliment my calves. It's the only excercise I do for them, its a fantastic excercise!

I think starvation mode only exists depending on your definition of it. Obviously your body won't defy the laws of physics, however it will begin to adapt. Your body is not psychic, it isn't aware you're trying to lose weight. When you go on a high calorie deficit suddenly your body believes you are in a time of famine,…

For baking and cooking we have skim milk powder at home. I found it a little difficult to get used to the taste of almond milk at first, but after a few times of having it I prefer it over regular milk!(I wasn't a big milk drinker before though, so I could be biased). I use almond milk like I would milk for drinking and…

like everyone else has said, OF COURSE!!! I personally find it the best kind of exercise, you just can't be in a negative mood when you've had a nice long walk :)

I would, but I got lost in the hypocrisy of your post. Perhaps it`s the fact that my points are so 'lame'.But regardless of how lame my points are i do feel the need to clarify: there are biological conditions which inhibit weight loss. You might want to look some of them up, because in that case calories in vs calories…

Sadly, you're right. The math behind it is very simple. What you seem to fail to realize is that our bodies aren't mathematical formulas, we can't simply plug in a few variables and get the results we need. Please don't misunderstand, im double majoring in math and science and I can say i honestly LOVE math. But the body…

Obviously, if it isnt mandatory then feel free to make your own choice. However, if it is highly recommended by many professionals please do not try to assume that you are correct in your way of thinking because: you never get the flu shot and havent died yet, so the flu shot does not help. That COULD be like me saying:…

Why choose? Peanut butter + nutella = YUM... Nutritionally, natural peanut butter... (not the processed junk)

I'm not going to list off a study or any scientific research here, just tell you a personal experience. I went from drinking a ridiculous amount of water (on average, i would say more than 15 cups) to drinking ridiculous amounts of diet pop. When I started school up this fall, I had somehow switched my water habit to diet…

Not exactly the friendliest responses for some one new to the site! However, as a Canadian who (embarrassingly) went to the same highschool as him for a year.... it's not how you want to make friends. Unless those friends are under the age of 10, then by all means, keep the name.

It's a little ironic to the people saying "Oh I always watched that, you're reading too much in to it little girls don't look at it that way at all." You're right. They don't. However, our foundations as children make who we are as adults. There's a quite famous quote by B.F. skinner that states "Give me a dozen healthy…

McMaster clearly has the smartest kids.. that's why they come out with such fantastic studies:) hahah can you tell what school I go to? But this doesn't surprise me at all, hopefully this will encourage more people to meet their daily calcium intakes! It's all (or mostly) about the nutrients after all!

"Also, go to the grocery store and just try new things. Go through to produce and grab veggies keeping in mind you are an adult and sometimes as an adult you have to do things you don't want to do, but you have to do them because their good for." ^^^^^^^^^ Would like to agree times a million. I used to be the world's…

I think your comment right there is a little OTT. Suicidal thoughts simply because you can't eat whatever you want? I understand you're joking, but still slightly ironic. I think it's phenomenal what this woman decided to do, and if I had the will power I would certainly do the same! She displays a quality that I think…

lol no..1200 is your minimum. If you go lower you begin to seriously damage your body. I used to net about 500 calories a day MAX. I lost 20 lbs in 2 months but it didn't mean it was a healthy weight loss. My metabolism was demolished and i struggled for awhile to get it back to a sustainable level.I regained about 10 of…

I feel this way every January. It's great that you want to lose weight and all, but research HOW to workout before you start taking up machines and wasting time.

I wish there was a love button, simply because I couldn't agree more. Women may have curves. but REAL women come in all shapes and sizes

I used to weigh everyday, but I've switched to whenever I happen to remember. I was becoming a little too discouraged by how frequently the numbers fluctuate. I found a slight increase or decrease in weight was having far too large of an impact on my daily emotions. I've ditched the scale, gone based on how I feel and it…

First of all WHAT WAGON?! This isn't a one way trip to skinny land, and if you fall off it doesn't leave without you. Sometimes you need to take a few days of eating bad (and I mean REALLY bad) to remind yourself how crappy you feel having all that JUNK in your body. If that doesn't work, then maybe it's simple as…

sounds yummy!

While I may not personally live on a farm, I live in the dairy capital of Canada which can only mean one thing: I've milked too many cows to count, and every single one of my friends is farmers. My best friend actually grew up with such a love for animals that she is now attending university to become a veterinarian. Her,…

Oh hell, i put on nearly ten pounds in two weeks from consuming soy.. but then again I have hypothyroidism. If your thyroid is in check a daily dose(or many) of soy isn't going to harm you. Like everything else out there, just enjoy in moderation! And if you are THAT concerned about adverse side effects or any potentially…

bump!

Squats!
