Props to you for going vegan! I like the idea... but I'm literally in love with greek yogurt and cheese. Meat is whatever though :) Glad it seems to be working for you!!

Thanks for the thoughts! I know being vegetarian can sometimes lead to more unhealthy eating, hopefully going to try and avoid that... I just did my first "vegetarian" shopping list and avoided junky foods at all costs :) Gonna do my research & make sure I'm getting all the complete proteins and just eat a huge variety.…

You know, the typical wild college stuff you see in the movies. Like studying for my exam and drinking a green smoothie and listening to love songs and crying about my life because this is what I do on Saturday nights. :explode: :happy:

I'll send a request your way! I'm a college student too... so I understand the stress :) congrats on wanting to make the change!

Keeping your sodium around 1,500mg/day is recommended for those who have high BP, so watching your sodium is an excellent idea to protect your heart! :)

Smart/Nerd Goody-Two-Shoes And I don't deny either. College loosened me up a bit. THANK GOD. haha :)

I like it! I agree that it can get too sweet... so I add a tablespoon of PB2 into it and looove it :)

Try a 3-2-1 cake! Take 1 box of Angel Food Cake mix and 1 box of any other mix you want, and combine the mixes in a tupperware container/plastic bag. 3 tablespoons of the combined mixes 2 tablespoons of water 1 minute in the microwave BAM you have a cute little cupcake! I do a lemon one, and I add mini chocolate chips and…

You need to know that comparing yourself to others is a totally NORMAL thing. Everyone does it! My roommates are like your friends, thin and beautiful, and they don't do a THING. It can be really frustrating! As for your day today, BE PROUD OF YOURSELF that you made healthy choices. Seriously, what you did took a lot of…

Congrats on your progress so far! You should be SO PROUD! Don't give up! :)

Congratulations on your progress so far! Never underestimate how much believing in yourself PUSHES you! :) <3

1) Chicken, thin sliced breast cutlets. I wrap them individually in cling wrap and freeze them, then take them out one at a time as needed! A little more expensive ($8-9 for 8 cutlets) but so worth it, saves a lot of time! 2) Tub of plain, nonfat greek yogurt. 3) Light 35 calorie sliced bread 4) Canned tuna 5) Honey! 6)…

I looooove running... sometimes I get an awesome runner's high!! I also just started and really enjoy weight lifting! It brings out my testosterone ha ha :)

Thanks so much ladies! I'm excited to be a part of this group -- so much motivation and inspiration here! I'm looking to lose about 20-25 pounds, as I'd like to be around 120-125 pounds.

As stated before me, I think that getting off track is part of the journey! The biggest thing you have to learn is to NOT beat yourself up about it and dwell on it - and sometimes, that's the hardest thing. Accept that it does happen, but try not to let it happen TOO often! When I fall off the bandwagon and eat an entire…

Lemon-chocolate anything... and Ben & Jerry's... my two favorite men ;)

Nice! Boxing sounds badass :) I'm 20, sending a friend request your way :)

Hi Terri! I'm Kayla! I'm not new to the online experience, I've been here off and on for about a year... but I'm back, it's really great -- you meet a ton of people with so much knowledge and support! I'm also a nursing student, and you sound like a busy lady as well! I'll be dropping a friend request your way!…

Thanks everyone! I'm feeling better already... it's nice to know I'm not so crazy because I'm nervous! :D And I am doing the tour thing tomorrow, and I think I get someone to help me plan workouts for the first month or so (some 30-day result guarantee thing) which will definitely help!

I figured I would, it's just getting to that comfortable point haha... thank you!!!

Thank you! I'll try not to be too shy! :)

Thanks! I love the elliptical, especially when it has a little spot I can put my Nook in and read from and kill time ;) I want to start doing weights too... good for you!! Guess it is one of those things you just gotta dive into!

Hi, I'm Kayla!! I recently got back into MFP too... started up a weight loss blog, and plan on joining my first ever gym next week! Hehe :) Friend request sent!
