Thank GAWD i'm not the only one! Weekends=wino good times=midnight munchies=hangover indulgences, oh and my chocolate cravings during the week, which I can usually curb with a small piece of good quality dark chocolate (but not always!). Honestly, the weekends are a deal-breaker! Gotta change those bad patterns or I'm in…

Way to go! Hope you get all the support you need. Weight has been a life long struggle for many of us, but it's never too late. You're young and strong, and we all believe in you :)

Lost 8 and 13 to go?! Me too! Gonna have to kick it up this week, but the weekends are so hard to be good! Best of luck!

Me too sista! More than anything I feel tired and lazy (mixed with cravings is not a good thing!). I did hear that when you exercise the week before and the week of your cycle, your results and calories burned are higher (so maybe we're hungry because the body is actually using more energy?) So my advice to myself and…

I make this regularly and I love it! I double the spinach and kick the milk for a vegan option. I usually just crumble the tofu in (because i'm lazy and hate cleaning my food processor hahaha) but it works out great! Thanks for posting that!

Here are some tips: 1. Keep a diary: Write down what you eat and how you feel after you eat it. Much of our addiction to food is mental, so making youself aware of how crappy you feel after eating junk will eventually sink in. 2. Cut things out gradually: start with salt, or refined sugars, or anything fried. Let your mind…

That's a great question. I bought some vegan protein powder, but honestly can't choke it down! I have heard that the pill form is convenient, and my sister does use other (better) powder and swears by it.

My initial thought is that you aren't eating enough calories to accommodate your exercise and your body is freaking out. That said, when I was beginning my weight loss, i often went up or stayed steady for a week, then dropped after (and if it's you menstrual cycle week, it may go up significantly!). You're doing a great…

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, because I need to find a soy protein supplement (the whey protein supps are made from animal protein and i'm a veg)...so thanks a million for the top! Did you mean Bulk Barn? I assume so...I'll phone the one in town and see if they have it. THANKS!

No, I don't think you're starving yourself, but make sure you eat the extra calories that you gain from exercise, or else you might. The daily calorie goal that MFP gave you is meant to allow you to achieve your goal, so it will be very low if you want to lose 2 or more lbs a week (losing1-2 is considered safe). If you've…

Hey dear...I totally understand! I have been in University for the past 8 years and have struggled with the balance. Your academics is your priority, but your health shouldn't have to suffer for it. For me, I found out that doing weight training and running actually made me a better student. When it was crunch time (exams,…
