Hi! I'm Amanda! I'm 22. I have 100+ pounds to lose. I'm on MFP every day and love giving support! :)

Wow, this is such a great idea! I usually just go for the put the food in the oven or the pot on the stove, and forget to turn on the heat. It COMPLETELY eliminates the calories.

I usually have cheat meals, and I still log them and try to make sure I stay under my daily calorie goal. Also, instead of cheating, I have learned to pick out something healthier than what I'm craving. Still close, but way better calorie nutrient wise. :) Or possibly even just getting a smaller portion!

I PREFER chubby guys! :)

Hahaha, I actually dealt with this yesterday! I wanted to have a few margaritas, so I budgeted my calories for them. I ended up actually drinking more once I got started (as we all know tends to happen). I just kept myself honest and logged it. In my drunk stupor I got really upset about going over on calories, so I logged…

The little orange peel man - yes. The person behind making him - probably not.

Rice cakes! They are delicious, and made with brown rice (something I didn't know before!) They are a great carb source for pre-workout and they're low cal. Usually about ~34-45/cake, depending on which flavor you get.

22 year old female pharmacy student! Always been overweight, recently reached my highest weight of 275 lbs. Height: 5'3 CW: 260 GW: 199 Right now I'm focused on getting below 200, but I know my work won't be done then! Still more to do! I try to work out every day. I meet with a trainer for strength training 2x a week, and…

I think what's good to remember is that you do need some fats in your life! The healthy kind. I love having a spoonful of peanut/sunflower/almond butter. It feels like a treat, and it also doesn't throw me off for the day. Other than that it's just a lot of protein and veggies. Not exactly super fun. As for cardio, I don't…

I never have been picked on, or mocked by my peers. They were probably kind enough to do it behind my back. But children are the worst. I love kids, absolutely adore them. And you can't be mad at them for their genuine curiosity, but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. The children I babysit with constantly talk…

You can add me! I have well over 100 to lose and I'm definitely not smaller than you, so no worries about me discouraging you! ;) I don't really know what "adding" someone means, because while not new to mfp, I just know the basic stuff, like logging food/exercise!
