It's not a bad thing. Fruit is good for you and has healthy sugar. If 90% of your sugar intake is coming from fruit, I would recommend you not worrying about going over. Eat fruit!

Apples are extremely healthy for you. Its healthy sugar, fruit has a lot of healthy sugar, don't worry about it. It a different kind of sugar compared to doughnuts and cookies. Eat fruit!!

If I go to the gym (I run outside most days) I usually end up on the treadmill running for 60-90 minutes. I try to get myself to do strength training about 1-2 times a week for 30-45 minutes, I do a lot with a weight ball and I do some ab exercises.

400-600 calories. Its good to start your day with a big (but healthy breakfast) I usually have a banana, yogurt, and a protein bar (or mixed nut bar)

Depends on the body type. I have lost 40 pounds and went from a 13/14 to a 9/10. My booty is the last place that weight comes off of lol Ready2Roch206: Don't focus on your pant size! Congrats on your weight loss

I agree with mlb929 it really does depend on what your goal is. If you are wanting to become quicker then working on speed might be your priority or it might be distance you want. To improve my distance I run 3-4 days a week of maintenance running (usually around 3-6 miles) and then I have one long run day a week in which…

It can also depend on how active you are. If you are super active and workout most days- then that might be accurate. 2890 seems high to me, but I'm a short lady- so I need a lot less calories.

Thanks. I do strength training their also and just use the machines that they have.

I don't do much cross training besides for walking. I do strength training also

Hey I'm Deanna :) Feel free to add me!

I'm not an expert on this topic, I'm not really sure how much protein is okay. But 75 grams seems perfectly fine. I've been having around 80-100 grams a day, so Ill be interested to see what others say.

Feel free to add me!

Thanks everyone! All of your comments have been very helpful!

okay thank you, I will check out the nearest grocery store and see if there is better options

I'm very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you

I agree!

I'm 5'3 (so close enough...), I weigh 170lbs and I eat 1200-1500 calories a day

Hey I'm Deanna. I'm 21 years old. My goal from the beginning was to lose 50 pounds (I have lost 10 pounds so far). I slowly had gained weight after high school until I was very uncomfortable with my weight. Everyone feel free to add me! :)

Great suggestions, especially the FiberOne brownie!
