My aunt and I are running at 5K Thanksgiving morning! I'm super excited for it!

I totally hear you on those Halloween costumes! Have you ever seen the movies "mean girls"? There's a line it that says (about) "Halloween is the one time girls can wear no clothes and get away with it" - and its totally true! Last year I saw one girl dressed only in a bra and underwear- made entirely out of caution tape.…

I'm in Amherst, but unfortunately (or fortunately for me- I need to get back to NYC!) I won't be here much longer. I'm also a student (UMASS), so my schedule is never the same - i wouldn't be too reliable! Good luck with everything!

North Jersey- about 15 miles outside the city. I'm in MA for school, but i cannot WAIT to get back home! I <3 NY!

Awesome, thanks everyone! I'll definitely have to check out that website and that light. I'm in the northeast (from NJ, in school in MA), and the cold came on so fast!

I did look into some vitamin D, but i read a lot of different opinions on how much to take. The bottle I have each tablet is 400 UI, so i've been taking one a day, which some articles say is too much, but others say that you should have 1,000 UI Thanks so much for the support everyone, its nice to know that other people…

Thanks! jukramer- can I message you more about the light?

I didn't log my calories today (spent a good portion of the day driving :-\ )but I am posting so that I can have the link to the group for the rest of the month!

October 1, 2009 Stephanie - 70 Megan - 105 Katie - 0 Tara - 30 Pam - 120 Jill - 73 (correcting my minutes) Eric - 60 Kim - 30 Jenniferk- 40 Carrie- 0 (spent the day driving!)

I'm also a college girl! I go to UMASS-Amherst, and I know what you're feeling. I found a gym a few miles off campus (i have my car here) which is only $10 a month! I moved off campus, so I buy all my food and cook for myself for the most part (cooking for yourself saves money! No eating out cause 1. its not healthy, and…

I know that's how the article phrased it, but there is more to it than that. It's not just watching what you eat to make sure that it is healthy ( like we do!) but it takes it to the absolute extreme. These people never have a "cheat" day or snack, and never eat anything out of their proclaim diet. They can't touch…

I just eat super healthy, but I make sure I get enough calories in. Also, a nice long helps. I actually did this the other day too- it was my 21st birthday, and my friends kept buying me drinks! The next day i ran a 5k (on the treadmill). :smile:

I have had achilles problems for years and years- since i was a freshman in high school. I had been to 2 doctors, 2 specialists, and a physical therapy place before someone noticed that I had flat feet. Not just regular flat feet, but super flat feet (i feel like that should have been noticed before, but thats not hte…

I just did the same thing! My last day at work for the summer, they took me out to lunch, and got a buffalo chicken salad sandwhich and ate wayyy too much of it!

That's what i do- break it down piece by piece and add each part in separately (a pain, i know!). Also, I usually exaggerate how much I ate, because it seems that most restaurants love to make healthy-looking things not that healthy :ohwell:

I felt the same way last summer- so I decided to train for a 5k run (if you can already do that, go to the next highest level!). It gives you a goal, and helps you keep focused on exercising!

My boyfriend has a HUGE Italian family- who all love to get together to eat, very often! Thankfully, they always have steak/beef, and since I don't eat beef at all, they usually make some plain grilled chicken and let us put our own sauce/marinade on it. Then i take a little bit of the sides, and i'm good to go! :)

Thanks everyone! Tomorrow is a new day and i will NOT forget my snacks!!:smile:

I'm not too sure it was- the first ingredients were sugar, sugar paste, confectioner sugar, food dyes, and the peanuts were fried in oil :-\

When I study I do the same thing- I like to eat apple slices. They're yummy, and they take longer to eat than a lot of other snacks so I find i don't eat as many.

Breyers makes yogurt with that is vanilla and then has chocolate chip or Oreo toppings you can put on it- it kinda tastes like cookies and cream! Theres two sizes- i believe that the larger one is 140 cal, and the small one is 100 cal.

I know how you feel- I just got back from a weeklong vacation with my boyfriend and 24 members of his very Italian family- there was food EVERYWHERE! And then people starting baking ( cheesecakes no less) and it was all down hill from there. By some miracle, when I got home i found out that I only gained about a pound!…

Thank you everyone for all your help!
