  • It is actually cheaper to buy unprocessed (whole) fruits. Also, the fruit drinks and such will KILL your sugar levels. Stay away from them. It takes a little more work but plan before you go shopping. Safeway has a ton of killer deals and also does the "just for u" savings app so you can save on what YOU buy. Veggies I…

  • I really love the Nike Training Center app and the daily yoga app. They get me to actually workout!

  • I only record water in the water section. If it has calories, I put it in the food diary. Water is definitely different than say, iced black tea. Black tea has caffeine, which is dehydrating to the body. I normally don't drink enough water, and never realized that until I started logging it. I don't feel abnormally parched…

  • Your breakfasts aren't filling. It's carbs and sugar. Try eating protein. Eggs/egg whites, cottage cheese, fruit or oatmeal. REAL foods. Also, you eat out A LOT. Try cooking your own foods at home. Taking leftovers for lunch. Also, eat snacks. Healthy snacks. I like hummus and carrots or apple and pb. Some carbs are ok,…
    in Did I eat too little? Comment by Katie_a_Mae_zing February 2013
  • From glancing at your diary, you are hitting the calorie goal, but with wasteful calories. Instead of those treats, eat fruit/veggies. Instead of toast in the morning, eat cottage cheese and eggs. Also, anytime you feel hungry, drink 8 oz of water first. If you're still hungry, eat. Good luck!

  • I log what I eat and exercise M-F. I don't drink alcohol and I don't eat sweets M-F. Sat/Sun I don't think about what I'm putting in my mouth. It's part of moderation in my eyes. With that said, I don't stuff my face with everything fried just because it's a weekend either. I just eat what I want and don't scrutinize it or…

  • Soda addiction is serious business. I stopped drinking soda (for the most part) about 2 years ago. My boyfriend has a serious addiction, so I decided we would stop buying them. It was weird at first..but we started making pitchers and pitchers of Iced Black Tea instead. Iced Tea is delicious as has little calories (I drink…
    in Giving up Sodas Comment by Katie_a_Mae_zing February 2013
  • First, drink 8 oz of water first thing when you wake up. I switch off between: 1/2 cup of 2% Low Fat Cottage Cheese w/1-2 servings of fruit OR 1 cup oatmeal w/1-2 servings of fruit If I get hungry in between I eat another fruit (apple, banana, melon)
