Tea. Hot. Iced. Whatever. They have unsweetened bottled tea. Some people don't like it, but I do. I just found one yesterday that surprised me by having lemon flavor and STILL unsweetened. Most bottled flavored teas are sweetened (150 Cal minimum, though I can't speak for diet since I don't drink diet drinks). Anyway, tea…

I make this vegetarian kidney bean chili from whfoods.com all the time. They're like 80 cents per can, one can per 4 serving recipe (keep in mind - they're small servings!). I cut out the bellpeppers cuz I don't like them, use only half an onion (or a very small one) because it's too strong if I don't, and sometimes add…

Where do people even find these things? lol. It's amazing.

1. Net calories IS a thing. Whoever says it's not has no idea what they're talking about. Calories=energy. Burn more energy, take in more fuel. It's not a hard concept. Try driving your car twice as much and filling up the tank the same as you normally do. Tell me how that works out for you. 2. Yes, 1500 might be how much…

I eat ramen mostly for the sake of simplicity when I don't want to make dinner. I make all the noodles and usually don't add the seasoning packet (or if I do, I try to use less than half). I spice it up with actual spices instead (and salt. Just.. less salt). I also add an egg right as I turn off the heat (stovetop ramen…

You're right. It should have an e at the end. Homophobes aren't very pleasant though. Also, why doesn't homophobe also refer to people that are afraid of their own sex, gender, species, etc?

There may be specialty places or you could get some that have the intentional wrinkles that are looser. There are some pretty awesome ones that are lace-up, but it depends on what it is that you want. Personally, I have a really hard time finding shoes and have never had more than ankle-high boots (it was a magical day at…

If you're losing 60lbs, it looks like your goal weight is 135ish? Same (I'm about the same height, too). I'm not at the same starting point as you, but I must say that your goal weight seems good :D (I see a lot of people either too high (barely within healthy range) or too low (bordering underweight). I was 130-135, and…

Technically, I have never been HUNGRY (felt the sensations of hunger) and had water satisfy that, but I HAVE had the urge to eat and had water satisfy that. Hence the mistaking thirst for "hunger."

THIS THIS THIS. I mean, what everyone else is saying... but this. I never used to drink water. At ALL. I pretty much got my fluids from soup, lol (and you would probably underestimate how much soup I used to eat). Water DOESN'T help you lose weight, but it MAY help you keep from over-eating. Also, if you were ever like I…

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree about it not mattering when you eat what: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/why-eating-a-bigger-breakfast-may-help-you-lose-weight/article13695602/

In the morning, you're starting your day, moving, etc. If the plan is to just nap after, sure, maybe it's not the best. It's certainly better than eating a large meal in the evening, because rest is soon to follow. And it's better than not eating breakfast, but I will admit that it MAY not be as good as eating 6 smaller…

It all depends. It's the case with most things. I've had knee pains off and on since I was about 11, and I was never overweight until age 18. Running can definitely aggravate knee problems, ESPECIALLY if you're overweight, and I wouldn't doubt that it can cause them. But if you've had knee pains in the past, I definitely…

I have one that kind of has cups inside (sort of) but is flatter on the outside, but I also use one several sizes smaller than I should (I'm a D and use a B). I don't even know the brand/style. I probably wouldn't recommend my decision as the best, but it works alright.

Anything below 1500 is starving for a male, anything below 1200 is starving for a female. On AVERAGE. 5'9" is a little on the tall end for female, and I don't think doing a borderline starvation diet is good anyway. It depends on how much you weigh now among other factors like exercise and things. I think the website…

That still leaves, what, 1200-1300 Calories for the rest of the day? As long as you portion it out well, I can't see it being a problem. Kickstarting your day with a large breakfast isn't a bad thing; it gets your metabolism going. I mean, I had a 450 Calorie breakfast of oatmeal, seeds, honey, and a glass of milk the…

I get a filmy sweat mostly. The only places I really get sweaty are places I'd really prefer not to (ex: underarms). I'm afraid it'll look like I'm a wimp because I AM working, but I'm sooo out of shape, and without buckets of sweat, getting off the treadmill before everyone else just looks like I'm pathetic and not even…

If boobs didn't shrink along with the rest, you'd look really awkward. As an example: I think a 34C is much better than a 40D. It's one cup different, but, I mean, if you look at bra sizes: a 40D is MUCH bigger cup-wise than a 32D because of proportions. If you lose width around your band, you're gonna want the boobs to…

I would've eaten more, but I am surprisingly full. I had a banana while waiting for my first ever loaf of homemade whole wheat bread to finish baking, and after one slice (with margarine), I feel like I won't need to eat for about 5 hours, haha. I'm probably just not as hungry because I skipped my morning workout in order…

A glass of milk to drink and Quaker instant oatmeal (enriched with iron) mixed with pepitas, hemp seeds, and a small amount of raw wildflower honey. (A cup of unsweetened tea is a given with me - black, white, green, oolong or herbal. Today it was black, lol)

Haha, this is so me. I lie in bed checking facebook until it wakes me up enough to get out of bed. But the thing I do every morning regardless of anything else: 1. check clock 2. pee 3. take meds
