  • Usually whatever's featured or on sale is what's in season. Also the seasonal stuff tends to be in the front or the middle of the produce section, as opposed to around the sides. Right now I'm seeing (and eating) a lot of berries, peaches, apricots etc. As far as how to tell what's good, look for unblemished fruit (no…

  • You can lose weight without exercise, but there's a reason most people choose to exercise anyway. It makes weight loss easier by increasing your caloric deficit. It also makes you stronger, and helps tone your body. I lost most of my weight by just walking almost every day. Now that I have less to lose, it's becoming a bit…

  • I had that happen too. I had it in for about 1-1.5 years and everything was fine (except my menses stopped too). Then all of a sudden I gained 50+ pounds in less than 6 months. I didn't even realize it until I went to try on my Halloween costume from the year before, and it wasn't even remotely close to fitting. I hadn't…

  • I used to have a huge sweet tooth too. I've noticed that the less sugar/candy/chocolate/ice cream I eat, the less I want it. Cutting back on processed foods (which can have a lot of sugar) has helped a lot. I usually have a small bowl of fruit every day, and maybe a piece of hard candy, or a teaspoon of honey in my tea in…

  • I really like mint and sliced apple with lime juice. Works great in iced tea as well (although I'd use lemon for that). I'm really looking forward to getting some new ideas from this thread. Infused water is amazing in the summer. :)

  • I could use some friends too! I'm in my mid 20's. I've lost quite a bit, and have about 10-15 pounds left to go. I don't starve myself, but sometimes I eat less than 1200 calories a day (I do IF, and sometimes don't feel like eating back my exercise calories). If you're cool with that, please send me a request! :)

  • If I was in your situation, I would offer to bring a salad. You could make a pretty good amount of simple salad for about $5 if you have dressing already (lemon juice and a bit of olive oil are an alternative as well). Costco has a great kale salad bag that's about that much and it comes with everything. I get it if…
