General rule of thumb is a gram of protein per gram of weight. So if you weigh 130lbs you'd eat 130grams of protein. You really can't eat too much of protein, though, so don't worry about every "going over" on it. But try eating at least 100grams.

I make an attempt to eat half back. If I'm still hungry, I'll eat more. If I'm not hungry then I'm not going to bother. Listen to your body and it will tell you what it wants.

Your protein is really low. If you're exercising that much and not eating enough protein then you are not maintaining lean muscle mass. Muscle will burn more calories, you want to preserve that muscle. I'd say to stop skipping meals, lower the carbs a bit, and up up up the protein.

Ain't that the truth. I've been losing this last 5 pounds for months...

french vanilla coffee mate for me. mmm.

Agreed. I think about coffee way more than what should be considered healthy.

I love Y&R!!!

After. I'm not eating it before it's cooked.

I honestly think she did intend for it to be everyday (hence, 30 Day) and probably received backlash because of a lot of people hurting themselves.

That seems like it would be very taxing on your muscles.

I wrote an article on this for my social problems class if anyone wants to read it: http://www.krystinaprassos.com/Krystina_Prassos/Writings/Entries/2011/10/25_Gender_Roles.html

Amen to that. I'm also tired of people thinking I should have short hair just 'cause I'm gay. HAIR DOESN'T HAVE A SEXUALITY, OH MY GOD.

I prefer the street for factors that you cannot recreate on a treadmill, such as wind, terrain, having to propel yourself forward rather than a belt, and scenery.

I'm having the same issue. I have a pretty small frame and then this nice potbelly. Very frustrating. I just figure it's a stubborn area and slow process, so I've just been doing what I'm doing - eating healthy, drinking lots of water, cardio and strength training. Those things make me FEEL good so maybe eventually my…

Definitely Fade Into You by Mazzy Star.

I had my last session with my addiction counselor today. It's been about 2 years... maybe 1 and a half. Anyway, so I'm massively in love with her. She's amazing. And I emailed her tonight telling her. And now I want to vomit.

I like you too! (I like anyone who likes me because it's few and far between.) At least we can commiserate on our gap-toothed fetishes now.

Not to mention that nobody is actually born, fully, on either end of the spectrum (homosexual or heterosexual). We're all mostly born with a predisposition toward both but cultural normalities shift us into whichever direction to the exclusion of any other possibility. Which gives me hope when I do really stupid **** like…

Yes! I've often said this/thought this. About the ginger-sexual. I think it's so funny we blurpblurpsexual everything so long as its relative to actual SEXES. Would be so much better if we blurpblurpsexual things that we are actually physically attracted to insofar as idiosyncrasies. Okay, like... I have a thing for…

Well when we're all at that point of being allowed to forsake our chosen skin and forage for new ones... I call dibs on Mother Fu*ker.

I actually really don't understand the motives behind people's linguistics with this subject. Because bisexual indicates a fifty-fifty homology. However, I highly doubt that bisexuals are only fifty percent attracted to males and fifty percent attracted to females. They are one-hundred percent attracted to males and…

The very first time, and only time, I'd gotten to my goal weight of 120lbs, I did so without exercise. But I did it the very unhealthy way. I'd just been laid off (in a horrible way) and was utterly depressed. So I wouldn't eat for a bit. Then I dropped some pounds and thought, "Oh, well this is nice." I maintained that…

Your metabolism is going to take a nose dive.

Ain't that the truth. The Internet has created this subculture of self-loathing imbeciles, who, in order to feel better about their own lackluster lives, take it out on people they don't even know. It's sad. And what gets to me the most is the defense, "It's just the Internet." Ohhhhh, the INTERNET. Well don't I feel…

Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley. That song would make Santa want to kill himself.

1. Travel... travel a lot. 2. Exercise and eat healthy. 3. Go to bed at night knowing you did the best you could for that day. 4. If you're scared to do something that means you should probably do it. It's better to regret something you did do than to regret something you did not do. 5. Be ridiculous. "I'd rather be…
