Oh no! Well, in that case - definitely don't eat those things. XD But the rest - have at 'er. :) Full fat dairy is a good option, too! It doesn't have to be low fat. Things like 2% milk or 2% Greek Yogurt can be nice, too - not full fat, but not fat free either.

I'd definitely recommend talking to a dietitian/nutritionist. They will point you in the right direction! I know it must be difficult to eat more for you, as you've been used to eating so little, but just take it slow and introduce more calories to your diet everyday. Your body will slowly re-adjust and will be very…

Sleep is definitely important in being healthy, too! If you're not getting your 7-8 hours of sleep every night, then going to the gym probably isn't going to be very fun at all. My only suggestion is to make sure you go to bed every night at a half decent time - get your rest, and once 5:30am comes and you've got yourself…

It's -10*C here (Ontario, Canada), feels like -25*C... it's a total blizzard out there and all the roads in the area are closed. But I got my *kitten* out of bed, bundled up real nice, and WALKED to Bootcamp. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Hehe, we'll both be crazy together, then. DELICIOUSLY CRAZY.

How about Broccoli Salad? There are tons of recipes on the net... It's chopped broccoli (obviously), cooked crumbled bacon, raisins, sunflower seeds, red onion, and a light dressing made with mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar. :) It's quite good!

My favourite way to enjoy shrimp is to slice them in half horizontally and then chop up some red peppers, cucumber, romaine, avocado, and some carrots - a "matchstick" or "julienne" cut for the veggies is best. Nice skinny long pieces. Then I take a piece of rice paper, dunk it in water for a few seconds, and then set it…

For everyone who has no idea what tubes of meat are, they are quite basically one pound of meat... in a form of plastic packaging that makes it look like a horrible tube... We have them in our grocery stores here in Canada, as well. I don't like them because I can't see what's inside - instead, the packaging is covered in…

I enjoy it plain, but it's also REALLY good with cantaloupe. My mum really enjoys it on plain white bread with a dollup of homemade apple butter on top of the cottage cheese. :)

I juiced a bit for awhile, but it was ridiculously expensive. Unless you live in a place that has fruits and veggies all year long, lots of famers markets or CSA's or Co-Op, it can be expensive if you do it everyday. Unfortunately where I live, fruits and vegetables are plentiful for only a few months out of the year, and…

Corn Chowder! :D

I didn't really get called anything, really. I just kept to myself, and people most likely thought that was weird. Although early highschool I did go through some weird gangsta stage. Then I grew out of rap music, and went back to what I normally listened to - rock, metal, gothic rock, etc. and dressed in dark clothes.…

I drink Chamomile Citrus herbal tea at night to help me sleep. I like a little black tea during the day, sometimes - I have maple tea that I like to add a little teaspoon of brown sugar to, earl grey (sometimes I add frothed warm milk and a touch of vanilla syrup to make it into a London Fog), hibiscus, lemongrass, green…

SW: 175 CW: 163 GW: 135 My goal weight is quite vague, though - I really don't care about my weight as much as I care about my body fat percentage. At the moment my body fat percentage is 30% or something like that, and it would be nice to get down to just over half of that... :) Gettin' there!

Hmmm... Probably the Hot Fudge Sundae with Peanuts from McDonalds. Cheese Whiz on my toast. Balogna with ketchup. Beefaroni, Those minty girl guide cookies, Miss Vickies Salt & Vinegar Chips... I miss them a bit, but it's not so bad... it's for the best. XD I think out of all the plastic foods, I miss margarine the LEAST.…

@KiiAttitude Nice tats! And a pretty face - and a plentiful amount of motivation, as well. You've done a really good job to get where you are!

April 30th. If you're my birthday twin, add me as a friend. :D

@kevinrbarger - Very cute smile! :) And you're playing with scotch tape. Are you a crafty kinda guy? Because crafty people are awesome. :D

I have my days set to 1,200 calories, however I also exercise and eat back those calories, so it's usually more like 1,500 to 1,600 calories per day. The only exception is that one day a week, I double those calories - so around 2,400. I heard that switching it up once in awhile keeps your body on its toes. :P It seems to…
-
Of course - I didn't mean after one day. One day of crap food isn't going to kill you. But I meant if someone were to just stop calorie counting altogether and leave MFP indefinitely. It's probably going to all come back. If we had a nutritional profile, people would make better eating choices to get their daily nutrition,…
-
Har har. :P Look, all I am saying is that people take the calorie thing a little too seriously, when it's the nutrition that they should be taking a lot more seriously. Nothing is wrong with a little treat or two, but if your whole day is crap, then what's the point? You'll just gain back all the weight you lost when you…
-
I totally agree! I definitely wish this site was more nutrition oriented. I've seen a lot of peoples food diaries here, and I bet people would think twice before they ate crap if they saw its nutrition grade. A lot of people think it's all about staying under a certain amount of calories, but if you aren't getting what you…

It doesn't matter how much weight you lose - cellulite is more-so a skin issue than a fat issue, if I remember correctly. A lot people suggest some nice massages in the area with a lotion that includes caffeine in it's ingredients. :)
-
There isn't anything wrong with evening munchies, really - just snack on something that isn't total processed crap. Right now, I have about a 1/4 cup of raw almonds and lots of water, and a little cup of yogurt. Some celery sticks or apple slices with peanut butter are really tasty, too. Or make yourself a little veggie…

I hear ya. :P My fiance loves the junk food, so when we started dating, I went from being healthy to being surrounded by junk, so I started eating like crap. My own damn fault, yes, of course! I chose to eat all that crap, and now I gained 40 pounds. But I am just saying that I can relate.
-
Agreed! If you ever mess up, just get up and try again - it's never too late to try again. :) Good luck!

Hi there! Like you, in highschool I was my "ideal" weight, but in the past few years the junk food has definitely taken a toll on my weight. I am 25 and I am also trying to lose 40 pounds. YOU CAN DO IT! Just take it one day at a time...
