Wine, light beer, and the occasional vodka Redbull. On a regular basis, I go for the light beer. The new Budlight Golden Wheat is AMAZING. =)

Ahhh thanks so much! I always underestimate the power of H2O!!!

That's adorable! Little sayings like that really help me in moments of weakness and this one is PERFECT. Thanks so much!

A vacation is a vacation- you shouldn't have to worry about every single morsel! Butttttt, when it's over, its over. Haha. If there are weekends I mess up I just focus really hard on eating well and upping my exercise the next week. Don't think 'what's the point?"! The point is that you want to be happy with what you see…

I'm actually really glad you posted this! I always look at those numbers, but I figured a higher heart rate would be better. During a normal work out, my HR gets to about 180. On the machine it tells me I only need like 150 for fat burning. So am I actually being counter productive?

I have a nonfat vanilla latte, everyday. I'm not a big sugar person (except in fruits) so I don't feel bad avoiding the sugar free choice. Plus it gives me a little extra energy, and I'd rather have the real stuff than artificial sweetener. Moral of the story being, my weight loss hasn't been hindered, so you're definitely…

try the chicken ceasar salad wrap! its amazing!

I know I wouldn't have an issue with the tone, but if all it does it promote veganism then it's really not worth my time because that is NEVER happening. Haha. I didn't know if the authors were just as no-nonsense about other weight loss advice as well.

For the situation you're in, I think the best thing you can do is change your eating habits. I was super busy last semester and didn't have time for exercise either, but I made a big difference simply by incorporating a lot more raw fruits and veggies into my diet. Also, drinking those 8 glasses of water (I try and aim for…

Like you said, drink A LOT of water! And hot water isn't actually good for your muscles. You don't want to do anything they'd react too quickly to (aka ice them immediately or take a hot bath). I'd recommend taking a luke warm bath and doing a bunch of stretching tomorrow. The whole point of strength training is to break…

I'm 5'6 and 145. Trying to get down to about 125.

Ya I know fruit isn't bad for me. I just wanted to know if I needed to watch the sugars as much as I do other foods.

I say log it! If you're losing weight, that obviously means you're still eating properly, so you should be able to see those results as well. I'm all for having a strict weigh in day, but this sounds like a legitimate excuse. =) good luck!

yay! thanks so much, that's a huge relief. it's hard enough to cut down added sugars, i would have hated to part with the natural ones too! haha.

that's good to know! i love fast food tacos too. and in-n-out is the best everrrrr. i actually prefer it protein style. i'm a big lettuce fan. =)

isn't it?! i am literally obsessed with that sandwich. when i was eating fast food more consistently (cough cough... ALL THE TIME- haha) all i'd have to say to my friends is 'number nine! number nine!'. and off to bk we would be! lol.

What in the world is this?! I've seen it all over so many blogs!

So yesterday I didn't eat that much because I was super busy, and when I did I made sure to be healthy. So when my friends suggested Burger King, I decided, why the heck not? I've been really good for a long time! Well in forcing myself to be honest with my food diary I found that it took me about 1000 cals. over! I had…

I LOVE peanut butter. But I get that it can be a guilty pleasure when eaten in excess. So when I truly want it, I just scoop it up and eat it straight off the spoon! It gives me satisfaction to know I'm skipping out on the carbs that would come with bread or crackers. And don't stress yourself over it. The longer you…

There are actually a lot of foods with negative calories. That's why raw foods are so essential to losing weight. As for green tea being a full -78, though... it seems like a lot. But it is really good for boosting your metabolism and is definitely 0 cal.

Insanity! I just came on here to add 'Jai Ho' from Slumdog Millionaire! The cover by the *****cat Dolls is REALLY upbeat.

Hmm... I'm having trouble finding it. But I definitely want to join!!!

All sounds good!!! Is May 1st the start date?

I don't know if you like country, but Josh Gracin's 'Nothing to Lose' is my all time favorite. It always comes on right when I think I can't do any more and gives me a total 2nd wind. Perfect for cardio.

I'm with you on that one! I snack at night ALL the time! Even when I say no eating after 7, I completely break down. The food journal helps me a lot, but not completely. It takes 30 days to break a habit and I am so willing! :happy:

Hi, I'm Caitlin from California. I've never been completely happy with my body- but for some reason lack the motivation to DO anything about it. I've gained 15 lbs since starting college, and I really want to be able to look back on my 20s knowing I looked the best I could. There is no guy, no specific day to prepare for,…
