Thank you both for the replies! I think accuracy is always my biggest hurdle. I have never weighed food before- but I may have to start if that is what will propel my weight loss/fat loss. I have been trying to tell myself one day at a time to keep myself from being overwhelmed.

Thank you so much for the words of advice. I am most definitely getting a food scale tomorrow and being much more accurate with my food diary :smiley:

Thanks! I try to eat Greek Yogurt when I am able. I haven't really had cottage cheese before, but I may give it a shot. As for eggs- I have always been a fan of egg beaters over eggs.

Thank you! I have a heart rate monitor that I use to figure out how many calories I actually burn during exercise, but I will be going out to get a food scale tomorrow. Because if you all recommend it, I may as well give it a shot. Also, I am not a huge meat eater- any suggestions on other sources of protein?

Thank you! I have been stressing over it for two days now- even though they came back negative, I still have that little minion in my brain whispering about false negatives. I just need to relax AND let it come. I am sure it'll suck even worse this month because I have stressed so badly about it.

Hmmm perhaps I will add some yoga to my morning routine tomorrow A.M. And perhaps. There has been lots of cramping and back pain today, but I do have IBS- so my stress may be causing the cramps ;) My BF tells me that I am causing it to delay by stressing about it, but I feel obligated to worry about it. Because, well, the…

Thanks for the advice everyone! I have taken a look back at my previous periods- some have been regular 28, but some have been up to 32 days. However, I am not on a hormonal birth control and do have an ovarian cyst that could be disrupting my period schedule. I have had some cramping today and some serious mood swings but…

Thank you1 So, anyone have any great meal plans that they follow in their life that they would like to share? Especially for us broke students!!

Thanks to you both! And the ten pounds is more of a numerical thing I want to lose. I really want to lose body fat and get strong. I am hesitant in the weight iifting section of the gym- any ideas for a great workout plan? I mean damn ottersandseal, your profile pic if what I want! How did you do it???

Bump! what is this strong lifts program! I want to give it a go- everyone looks amazing!!

I want to go all vegan eventuality! Add me (anyone!!) if you want support and another person to bounce ideas off of!
