Not sure if anyone has already mentioned this but try chewing gum as you bake, it will prevent you from tasting/licking your fingers as you go!

You look SO AMAZING!!!

This is such a hard part of the holidays. I LOVE baking, my great grandmother taught me and because of her wisdom I can actually bake well. :smile: During the holiday season people are always asking me to make their favorites for them, it's so hard not to sample! I intentionally make lots of peanut butter based cookies and…

They all look great but dark brown is my fav

I'm the same way. In the normal range but on the upper end of it. Losing weight from here can be so frustrating!

Haha I love this! I joke with my family all the time about what I call the "little miss sunshine effect". (Movie that came out in 2006 with steve carrell...) I'm the only diagnosed "crazy" person in the house yet I am by far the sanest. Funny enough is they all agree with this! In my mind everyone is crazy, just not…

I have used this sight before and kept my diary closed, this time around my diary is open to my friends. Personally having an open diary works well for me for three reasons 1. If I'm having difficulties or need nutrition advice my friends can easily help. 2. I like the "in it together" mind frame and am less likely to go…

Thanks! I have done a lot more reading on this since my first post and think I will give it a try. I know pounds aren't going to magically stick themselves to my body if I stop, but wasn't sure if anyone had any experience or knowledge transitioning back to a conventional eating plan. That seemed to be the only info i…

This looks interesting and I'd really like to try it. I plan on reading/viewing all of the material but am concerned it is a bit of a fad diet. I have fallen for too many of those in the past claiming to be "the key to lifelong health and happiness" etc etc. I guess a big question I have is, if you choose to stop this way…

I assume you probably became a vegetarian for ethical reasons. If you are trying to slowly incorporate meat back in to your diet try only eating farm fresh/ non factory produced meat. I certainly don't want to get into the debate of "is it right or wrong to eat meat" because that would just be messy. But to many, there is…

Not a partner, but my mother makes it difficult to for me lose weight. She is always telling me I'm fine the way I am and don't need to lose weight and am skinny enough etc etc. Don't get me wrong i really really appreciate this and love how much she loves and cares for me. But i wish she would support that I would like to…

I love the idea of Paleo. Anything that propels you to eat cleaner and more naturally is great. There are tons of benefits to eating this way. There are drawbacks to any eating plan however, so just be aware. Some individuals have problems with getting enough calcium on Paleo. You can also gain weight on Paleo if you're…

Amazing! You just made me want to do my 30DS DVD again. Great job. :) you look hot.

Mine have gotten a lot worse. I use to get no symptoms at all! I have never been inactive, but workout and eat right more now than i ever did before. it seems whatever I do I get horrible symptoms (especially chest tenderness) up to 2 weeks prior. Drives me bonkers.

This topic is brought up a lot. In the end I just think it is just impossible to generalize it. There is no right or wrong. We all have our opinions and various methods to achieve our goals. I personally don't use cheat meals, but a VERY fit friend of mine does and they clearly work for her. Live and let live. As long as…

Clear liquors are better than dark. Tequila is the best alcohol to drink on a diet.

Great job! You look amazing!

I eat this every day. Mix with berries, walnuts, cinnamon, whatever floats your boat. There's tons of variety with cottage cheese and its great for protein intake

I've broken more than my fair share of bones in my 23 years. (8 in total) and leaned the hard way pushing it is a bad idea. It only makes this worse long term. Only you know your body, listen to it. Try biking while your toe is healing. You're not crazy, I've been where you are, but be cautious. There will always be more…

@tree618 thanks so much! Love that you're a runner. :)

@vegasgirl: you have beautiful eyes!

just talk to someone and get help, this isn't healthy. You shouldn't "want people to look at you and be concerned abut your health"

Totally agree with everyone here, I doesn't matter when you eat. Just watch out for foods high in caffeine that way you're not up all night.

I'm in, definitely need this!

Thanks for the suggestion! I know barbells work amazingly, that's pretty much all I did the last four years. (I played field hockey at my university and our strength coach solely used barbell work) I know I'll get back to those workouts someday, guess I'm just looking for a bit of variety. Thank you for the help!

I HATE peanut butter Even the smell of peanut butter makes me nauseated. My boyfriend loves to threaten me with a glob of PB when I tease him about something.

I'm pretty new here too, been on about a month. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

I'd like to join!

Way to go! Amazing progress! You look great!
