I messed up really bad yesterday, and I wasn't going to log in what I had eaten because I didn't want to face what I had done. But, one of the best parts about MFP, for me anyway, is that it takes away the ability to repress your feelings what you've eaten. You literally SEE what you've done right or wrong. The tough part…

I have ad block, the add on for firefox that makes all advertisments disappear. If you want to get rid of all the pizza adds, just click the 'add to firefox' button on this page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/

Thats GREAT! Congrats on the accomplishment! :)

That's really great to know! Thanks! I've found it to be SO difficult to decrease the amount of sodium in my diet.

I would definitely look at your sodium levels, you can actually monitor them on MFP! Just click on the food tab and then settings and there's a box you can check off. Water follows salt, so the more salt (sodium) you have in your body the more water you are going to retain... Most pre-packaged foods contain a TON of…

I definitely feel like that! I've been trying to eat less food at each snack/meal so that it all evens out over the day. I'm always really surprised how well drinking water works too, I can't drink it too quickly but I fill up a 1L bottle and drink that over an hour or so and the feeling usually goes away. I've noticed…

Way to go!! That's got to be a GREAT feeling! :)

#46!! :)

Congrats! Starting something can often be the hardest part.. I've been here for about 2 weeks and I've loved it! Just remember to log EVERYTHING you eat, all of your condiments, your drinks, they all really add up! If you follow your calorie and exercise goals (or in my case, just my calorie goals :S) you really can't…

Liquors have the least amount of calories, so if you pair say vodka with diet sprite or soda, that is going to be pretty low cal. A rum and diet coke wouldn't be too bad either.... Lighter coloured beers are less calories than dark beer, and drinking "light beer" is obviously going to be less as well. Liqueurs and…

That's Great!! Keep it up, and can you imagine how much change you'll see by next Thanksgiving?! :)

Rachael, can we make this together when we study on the weekend? :D

That middle bit up there, that is being judgmental, you've told people what they should do and what they should feel. Generally speaking, people like to have their own opinions and not have others opinions forced on them. From time to time, I eat boxed cake, I eat kraft cheese slices, and I drink diet soda on a regular…

Her name is Katrina Hodgson, the two of them work together and run www.toneitup.com they have a really fantastic youtube channel toneitupcom that has a whole bunch of workouts and healthy recipes! Its great!

I broke the bank, so to speak and got a breakfast sandwich from Tim Hortons (bagel, cheese, egg, tomato, lettuce, bacon) It was 440 calories, but beyond filling.

It isn't the absolute fastest, but one of my favourites is to have an apple along with a whole wheat English muffin toasted with peanut butter. If you add in a yogurt cup or a glass of milk, its a pretty well rounded and decently low cal meal. :)

Ahh, I know what you mean about the pizza! I was so tempted the other night, I was stressing like mad about an exam I had the next day and my boyfriend brings home 4 extra slices of a meat lovers pizza and somewhat guiltily asks me if I want some. I probably spent a full minute just staring at that pizza! But in the end…

When I really think about it, my goals are to be skinny AND healthy, but not one without the other. I really want to focus on eating nutritious food, lowering the amount of sodium and processed food I eat and help stabilize both my blood pressure and blood sugar levels. But in doing so, I also really want a bomb body.…

I still have so much weight to lose I don't know it a skinny me would have a frame anything like her's but Karena Dawn (from the Tone It Up Girls -> awesome youtube workouts!!) has such an amazing body! She's the one on the left, but they are both so insanely fit!

I just started using this site because a friend needed the moral support and it just so happened I really need to get my weight under control. I've only been here 10 days, but I love it. If you'll be my motivating friend, I'll return the favour :) Good luck with everything!

I have a skinny sister and she'll eat anything! However, she also has started running 5K and half marathons, is on a dragon boat team, is part of a competitive volleyball league as well as a beach volleyball league, and takes dance aerobic classes on a regular basis! I still haven't figured out how she got to be energetic!…

Thanks for all the advice! I know drinking extra water won't be effective long term and I have been trying to be more conscientious about my sodium intake, but I just hate seeing those negatives in red in my food diary! lol I am getting really serious about lowering my sodium though, my goal is to consistently be under…

A professional trained to deal with eating disorders would be able to offer so much more/better advice than I can, you really should go speak to someone about the choices you are making. Just keep in mind that being skinny isn't the most important thing. If you want to be healthy and strong you need to eat. I think another…

St. Yves has an amazing "Mexican flavoured" veggie ground round that not only is less high in saturated fat than the ground beef you would normally make, but its also really easy to make! One package mixed with a 1/4 or 1/2 cup of salsa and heated in the microwave is all you need for instant taco "meat" you can normally…
