I think that is a great plan :-) just make sure you still change it up so you don't get burnt out on the same stuff.

I use avocado instead of mayo for tuna salad. Gives it a different flavor and cuts out the gross mayo.

Welcome, so glad you found us! For starters, don't think of it as a diet...maybe start the first few days seeing how many calories you actually eat so that when you st a goal you know if it will just be a small change here and there or changing a lot. Then start adding more veggies into your diet. Then move more. Pretty…

I work 10 hour shifts, and I only get 2 15 minute breaks and a 45 min lunch....so I just get up at my desk and stretch every half hour or so. If I really need to I will march in place at my desk to get my blood flowing.

No, we don't. Or we wouldn't have an obesity problem in America. The science is not new - but all these "miracle fixes" are and people think that they work. I don't think there is adequate education on nutrition (at least in US schools). I admit being a college graduate and not knowing basic nutrition. So I am working with…

This happened to me on new years day...to her defense, I was wearing a hoodie with a few things in the pockets. So I made the decision it was time after that.

Sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, raisins, hard boiled egg, feta/blue cheese, you name it I put it on a salad.

I find that after even workouts that aren't very intense on weights, a protien shake really helps me recover. If I don't have one I will pretty much be useless for a day or so because I am so exhausted. Maybe give it a try, see what works for you.

For my smoothies, I usually put in about 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, almond milk, and whatever fruit I have. You can also add things like honey, peanut butter, protien powder, almonds, and veggies. You can really put whatever you want in them.

I agree I love Greek gods brand!

We didn't elope, but we had a very small ceremony at a little chapel. There were 5 guests, my parents and brother, and his dad and sister( his mom passed away). After we went out for Mexican all together, and once we got back home - the ceremony site was about an hour and a half away- we went to out fav restaurant, the…

What about a subscription to a magazine you have been wanting, or a book you really want to read? It doesn't have to be something really big.

I find that Having protien after a workout really helps. You can either do a shake, bar, or some protien packed foods. I wasn't good for Nything the rest of the day when I worked out before u had protien shakes after. Now that really helps my body recover and I feel like my normal self after a workout.

This. That way I don't have to wonder if the last time I weighed myself if I was wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts or my shorts and a tank top. Plus, when you are bigger, the clothes are bigger...so they weigh more. I don't want to weigh my clothes, I want to weigh ME!

There are two memberships - $10 basic, and $20 "black card" membership you can always bring a guest, use their tanning, massage chairs, red light therapy, hydro beds, and 1/2 price drinks. You also have access to unlimited personal training sessions. I truly enjoy going there, and I have never got more out of a gym…

Agree! I have never seen my body transform so fast until I started weight training. I am only on stage 1, but I am already able to lift up to 90lbs on some exercises. I was always a weakling before who could barely carry in the groceries!

Do you even drink? Seriously? In all likelihood, if you routinely consumed that much vodka on a daily basis, your body would become addicted.

Here is a link to some no- bake energy bites...I really liked them. I did not add the coconut though. http://gimmesomeoven.com/no-bake-energy-bites/

Ahhh thank you! I totally forgot.

If you will use it, then join. I have never lost weight faster than when I started lifting. And like a previous poster said, it will help you become a stronger runner. You don't have to be skinny to lift weights - it will still be beneficial and I feel like I have never seen my body transform so much, unlike when I was…

I agree with this...except that I think you need more than 2 weeks to find if something is working...if you feel the changes you are making are making you generally happier, healthier, and you feel good...try for at least 6 weeks. I feel like two weeks is too short to see true results reflective of your progression. For…

GREAT REASON! We met in the winter, and his truck's heat was out. He would drive 45 mintues to see me in the dead of winter without heat in his truck. He didn't want to make me come to him, so he came to me. I always thought that was so sweet :-) Plus he was a genuine guy, and went to see his grandma every day. Not many 26…

I feel like I was programmed in order to live to eat. But recently I have been reprogrammed to eat to live....with some of that living being enjoyment in eating. If you follow that I'm impressed lol. I mostly eat for fuel, but I do still enjoy a cookie, ice cream, or other indulgence. I cut back significantly, and truly…

You haven't "only lost two pounds" you have lost two pounds already! Its always so hard at first because you are adjusting to new eating and exercise. Stick with it a few more weeks and you may see that it comes off easier than you think. Don't let myths like that hinder your weight loss - you can it regardless of height,…

I love the Pink station...a lot of really upbeat songs that are awesome to motivate you...but there are also a lot of older R&b songs on it too. Also: No doubt Rihanna Kelly clarkson Lady gaga Black eyed peas

You just have to shop around. Find out which gyms offer student discounts, or are income based. I know the YMCA in my town has a student membership is $20 a month I think. I only pay $20 for the full membership to my gym that is open 24 hours (planet fitness - love it!). Can you use the gym at your school? I don't know if…

Yep, I experienced the same thing. I think it's my body's way of keeping me on track and making healthier choices.

My favorite site is thegraciouspantry.com. I think there are so many clean eating resources out there. Just try to stick to food in its most natural state, and if you must eat processed foods, just make smarter choices. Try whole-wheat tortillas instead of white flour tortillas, whole grain bread, and foods without added…

I love this!!!

I got 100% addicted! Haha. I <3 sriracha.
