Try frozen yogurt too. Some brands are great and healthy as well. Consider keeping some ice cubes/frozen fruits in your freezer. Frozen overripe bananas are excellent in protein shakes and smoothies. I would also add nuts, peanut butter or chia seeds. If you're not scared of green smoothies, consider throwing in some…

Sounds delicious! Will try this out, thank you.

Well, I never used it before. I only started using it last month, but I find it pretty useful. You can post your summary and your skills so employers can contact you. You can make connections with your colleagues or people you met in school. You can also ask for recommendations or give them to other people. It's also…

That looks soooo delicious! Thank you, I'll try them out! By the way, I don't know if the cat in your picture is yours, but it is completely adorable. :3

Gatineau, Québec!

Bump. I completely agree.

Yeah, resizing is a bit of a pain with Photobucket. I looked at the original link (http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa440/AliDale/weightlossyellowdress.jpg) and I've got to say that you definitely look thinner on the right side! Look at your stomach, definitely flatter. It's fun to take pictures in the same clothes,…

Looking for the same good stuff! I'll add you. :D

Those persons that laughed it out should become a boost of motivation! Next year, you will show them how you rock that nice coat. Show them that you're not that "all talk" they're talking about. Honestly, let the talkers talk. They have no idea what they are talking about and that is just a way for them to show their own…

Bump! Just started weight lifting.

Truth is, if you're not happy with yourself right now, you will not be happy even at your goal weight. You work your body, but you've got some psychological homework to do as well. I think it is very important to find the cause of that low confidence in order to cure it. Have you ever been a victim of bullying, or…

Bumpity bump!

Yuuuum! Bump!

Welcome! I might message you with questions. :)

Bump! So many good ideas!

Bump! I'm curious too.

Bump! Sounds delicious!

Hey there! Welcome! I'm about 201 pounds, and I have a goal of 140 lbs. : ) Add me if you'd like, we could scratch each other's back.

Bump, wanna read this later.

I did join Curves a little while ago, and I enjoyed it. There is no shame there, usually no weird looks or remarks. All shapes are welcomed, from the 500 lbs lady to the 120 lbs athlete. It is easy to do because the time goes by so quickly. You only get to be on each station for 30 seconds, so you're always moving. I think…

Bump, because I'm in the same situation and want to read this as inspiration.

The article's name is "Aspartame controversy". Of course there are a lot of disagreements... Studies are going to contradict each other, and each side will find a way to prove their points. It is very easy to find a bunch of studies that prove one thing, and another bunch the opposite. Especially with a subject like this,…

Here is a source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy Look up the "Ramazzini studies" section. You are right. Sorry about that.

Hey, that's so nice! Thanks!

I use Splenda (sucralose) for my coffee, because it's lower in calories than the real stuff. Tastes as good, in my opinion. I think raw sugar is more natural, so if you can afford the extra calories I would pick that. Scientists are not too sure about the long term effects of sucralose on the human body, so to be honest I…

You have to find something that's sustainable for you. It's a lifetime change. Going to the gym is an excellent start to your health journey. Now, if you can add food to that, you would be in real business. You will have to find out how many calories you need each day­. For that, you need to find out your Total Daily…

I don't know anything about Killer Buns & Thighs (judging from the title, it focuses more on the butt and the thighs), but 30DS would certainly help! Definitely give it a shot. If you're self-concerned about your tiger stripes (I think all of them are lovely, especially those resulting from pregnancies), I recommend…

You certainly can tone it up with aerobic exercises, plyometrics and strength training. Focus on exercises that work those muscles. Here is a useful link: http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/fitness/toning/5-belly-toning-exercises-to-tighten-skin-after-weight-loss.html

Bump because I looove soup.

Amen! Such a perfect post. A lot of persons come here to find the magic solution to all their problems. When "balance" is mentioned, they do not believe it at first. How could it be that simple? It does not have to be more complicated than this. Being and feeling healthy should never be a pain in the *kitten*. It's a…
