I agree with what was said above about the possibility of logging your food religiously triggering bad habits or maybe even creating new and not necessarily good ones. I've never had disordered eating habits, and I know it is different for everyone, but even as a "normal" eater this site and logging my food sometimes makes…

I'd say: WAY TO GO!!!

You are eating waaaaay too little. Bump it up a few hundred cals or so with healthy stuff. Veggies, nuts, low fat dairy, protein packed foods that fuel you. Way to go on the cutting out wine and drinking a lot of water!! Those are definitely huge steps towards your goal weight. You don't need to feel crappy to lose weight,…

Frankly, I know that those girl's bodies are so entirely out of reach for me that it doesn't affect my self-esteem or body image. Never will I be 5'10" with a D cup, unless I got all sort of implants. eek! I think they are beautiful, but I also think my body is an entirely different kind of beautiful, and I am okay with…

Tell it! All about being "selfish" at this point in my life. Living it for ME and no one else.

[/quote] christ. also, totally agree with old-school b.spears. She had a SICK body. But Gwen Stefani has always had the cutest, most fit, athletic body and they way she dresses is genius.

oooh I am a product junkie! Though I try not to be since I'd rather spend my money on other things. These are my fave though! 1. OPI nail polish in Big Apple Red 2. Smith's Rosebud Salve 3. Clinique almost make-up 4. Cetaphil daily moisturizer 5. Maybelline Falsies Mascara in Brown 6. Benefit Blush in Dandelion I love this…

lololol! Great commercial

Biotin!! It makes your skin, hair and, nails healthy and strong and glowy!

I freaking love her.

One day before work I said "f*** it" and didn't put a lick of make-up on. Usually I wear a light foundation, concealer and some mascara. First thing a male co-worker says to me when I get to work "wow, you look like hell".....then there was a conversation about how he just thought I hadn't slept well and was worried that…

PACK! All you need, really

loved it! Thanks for sharing

YOU GO GLENN COCO!!

Clinique Happy will be my absolute favorite, forever

get a work out buddy! Someone who you know will be at the gym when you are who you can't let down. Keep each other accountable. If I know I'm doing a workout with someone else I am much less likely to cancel it.

thanks! yeah, I was messing around with it trying to get it to work. Thanks for the tip!

amazing change!! We basically have the same starting weight and goal weight, you've done yours much faster than I have :) And I know how hard it is with not a TON to loose. GREAT great job!! Keep pushing for those next five!

running shorts with built in undies! Loose and a good fabric that wicks moisture. Nike and underamour are my favorite

bump. yummm!

I think the only reason we think people don't have cellulite is because we see so many airbrushed pictures of models with out it. I'm fit and I still have it. BUT if you find an answer, please do share! ;) congrats on your success so far!

Lucy! congrats on your new furry addition.

Yes, I would forget calorie counting for the day as well. Eat some nutritious food if you can, fruits and veggies and maybe a little comfort food too. Chicken noodle soup! or some grilled cheese? You just need to fuel your body so it can fight this off. Feel better! Dont forget liquids!

incredible change!! You are doing such an amazing job. And you look great!

oooo flax seed bread!! I'll have to try that. My faves are: Their organic hummus with the green lid. My ABSOLUTE favorite. Way better than Athenos or Sabra I think. Stone ground wheat crackers no guilt brownie mix frozen berry mixes cheese ravioli raspberry preserves EVERYTHING!! Nice bargain spending, btw! I totally know…

Def track your exercise! with out adding that in to your daily diary you are probably eating too little. So if you eat 1360 cals one day but burn 200 in exercise that same day you've only netted 1160 cals, which is fairly low (it might work for some people though, but I know that I would be tired, grumpy, and sick only…

yeah, I've never really understood this "too many calorie" predicament either!... buuuuuttt maybe treat yourself to your favorite candy or icecream!? Thats what I would do with leftover cals. haha

I'm a college student too with limited funds for food, but no longer live in the dorms. I like making a pot of vegetarian chili on the weekends that I can have for lunch/dinner through out the week. I split it up into smaller tupperwares and can take it with me to work too! Canned beans and canned tomatoes are cheap and…

I think that's the best running weather! :) It's all about the right clothing though! Layers are important! No cotton next to your skin or else your sweat will get cold and so will you. Go for a synthetic moisture-wicking long sleeve shirt or light weight wool shirt. Under armor or smartwool are great brands. If its windy…

Tea! especially sweet flavors when I have a sweet tooth. Takes care of it! Frozen fruit like blueberries and raspberries if I HAVE to eat something. Water, water, water! looking at an inspirational weight loss/exercise blog, gum and cinnamon altoids, brushing my teeth. These don't always work, mind you. haha. but sometimes!
