The traditional dating rules of the past don't apply anymore. As so many people have mentioned, people are on their phones all the time. If I go on a date with a guy and I haven't heard from him in more than 1-2 days, then I assume he is not interested (especially if I sent a text as well). The best dating advice I have…

cute dress!

I tried it, but found that it was way too expensive to actually continue. Instead, I just took away some of the great veggie options that I found and now just try to have protein and veggies at eat meal without all the crazy extra stuff with Paleo diet.

I have a rule of not keeping sweets, chips, or bread in my house. If I keep any of that, I literally can't stop and have to consume all of it. I find that I will usually pick something healthier if I dont have the bad stuff in my house. For example, I so wanted to order a pizza tonight but I'm on a budget...so instead I…

Hi! I started the journey in December 2014 with zumba and diet change...it took quite awhile to lose the first 10 pounds and then i just wasnt losing anymore. After I started crossfit (its been 7 weeks now), I noticed my body was looking different and my pants werent fitting, but the scale wasnt budging. Last week..i jump…

OMG, wow what a change!!! Congratulations!!! :)

I have been in the same situation many times when I come home from school when I was in college. Due to this, I would spend most of my days outside of the house. I would pack a small backpack with some snacks and I would ride my bike all day long around the city. It was great because I was outside enjoying the fresh air…

I stay motivated by using a fitbit. It helps to have a goal of 10K steps a day. If I find that after dinner I havent hit my goal of at the very least 10,000, I ask my fiance to take a stroll with me around the neighborhood. One time I even made him walk the three floors of the mall, since we were already downtown and had…

I actually did it this morning, only for the fact to save time. I will never do that again. After my run this morning my stomach was killing me and I had major cramps. I have ran after eating food before and I much rather prefer that...

I am 5'4 and my goal weight is 130. SW: 170 CW: 160 GW: 130

If you opened your diary and let others look we might be able to give some more accurate advice for you :) I know it can be hard when it is slow going, but doing it the healthy way will keep it off in the long wrong. Keep it up! What type of exercise are you doing?

Thats an amazing response!! You go girl! 8 years...damn!

On the weekends mostly, I forget to log most of the things I am eating so the logs are not accurate for those days.

I used Nike+ for some time and it was a good motivator to earn badges :)

Yogurt, cheese sticks, veggies (carrots, cucumbers, peppers, etc.), hummus, 100 calorie packs of pretzels, fruit

My face has turned into a battlezone since I have started eating more healthy and working out almost every day. I am also noticing achene on my chest area above my breasts. I am 99.9% this is from sweating since I sweat in my neck/chest area and on my face. I wash my face after every workout and make sure to wash off any…

I automate my meals, but just because for lunch and dinner I usually make a large batch of something and I don't want it to go to waste. Plus, I try to make delicious things so I actually look forward to eating it again! Now, if I had to eat something I hated for all week there is no way I could do it! My snacks I usually…

That is such an amazing feeling!! Congratulations!!!!

"Hey, I think that guy across from me works in the office above me." "Ok, I saw him yesterday at work and it is definitely him. Should I say hi or is it awkward since we're both in work out mode" "Seriously, I've only been on this machine for 10 minutes?" "This episode sucks...no way I am going to get through this workout…

@AllTheNoms ...I do the EXACT same thing!!!!!

This is really good to know that I am not alone in this. I will eat entire bags of things if they are in my house. I can not have chips, sweets, or anything of that sort in my house or I will eat it all.

My diary is open as well if you'd like to add me

This is my face RIGHT NOW!!!!! I cant believe how many breakouts I have on my skin now since I started going back to the gym. WOW...glad to know its most likely work out/healthy eating related.

I completely understand how you feel. I try so hard to eat healthy and stay within what I pre-log on my diary. I have found that if I allow myself to have some of it, and portion it out I do much better. There are times where I will finish off an entire bag of chips and then feel super guilty and disgusted with myself, but…

Motivators is huge for weight loss and staying on track!!! Good job!

I make sweet potatoes fries a lot...or just bake a bunch and eat one for lunch everyday...so yummy.
