Hi! I'm from Canada, going to add you to Fitbit as I need more friends to challenge me :)

Hey! I'm 22, 5'1 also in college.. I started at just over 160, I'm going to add you as we have similar goals!

cold = 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup vanilla almond milk, 1/3 cup applesauce, 1 tbsp chia seeds and a handful of raspberries! yummy :)

applesauce?

but everything has eggs in it :( lol thanks everyone! I'm going to get some greek yogurt and start putting protein powder in my oatmeal :)

I love cottage cheese and do eat it throughout the day. I eat hemp protein powder since whey can make my stomach upset. I never thought about having fish for breakfast! I should try that :) Cold oatmeal = oats, chia seeds, almond milk and applesauce

I made these last week, they are delicious!! I gave one to my friend and she asked "wheres the sugar?":laugh: I think these would be really good with chocolate chips!

yummy! I make these at work but we add instant espresso for chocolate coffee cookies!

thank you so much!! I'm really deficient in potassium and really looking to bump up my intake! I'm going to try this tomorrow, really appreciate it!!

Ok thank you! It is actually my mid to upper back where the discomfort is. After posting this I remember I had softball practice on friday and was up to bat for quite a while which I haven't done in about a year so that might actually be the cause of it :)

have you tried Songza.com? they have great playlists and you can even search "working out" :)

I eat 1700, will eat closer to 2000 if I workout that day. My trainer told me to eat that much and it's working so I'm following her advice :)

Awesome thanks for the reply!

Hey! I had my gallbladder removed a year and a half ago. It took me about a week before I was able to sit up and dress myself and go back to work/school. I can't remember what the enzyme is that they recommend for post-surgery but I got it at the Health food store and it's supposed to be really good for helping your body…

the dates look kind of like something I feed my cat.. lol but if 1,100 cal wasn't over half of my daily total I'd eat that too.

I am currently 158 and 5'2. My ideal goal weight would be 110-115. I'm hoping to be 130 by September though :)

That's awesome! Congratulations :)

I make my lunch the day before.. I work and go to University 6 days a week so being organized is really important. I try and switch it up every day.. sometimes I'll bring leftovers like Quinoa or make fried rice (left over brown rice, a bunch of peppers, broccoli, carrots, onion and an egg all fried), Tuna sandwich (tuna,…

haha what a good topic! I never thought of it... might have to now :P

I'm from beautiful Vancouver Island, BC! Feel free to add me :) could always use more friends!

added you! I'm here daily :) love to give motivation as well as receive!

I just made the best salad and have to share.. Spring salad mix Avocado Canned Salmon Dressing: 1.5 tbsp greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, and balsamic vinegar! So easy and DELICIOUS!

I make my own protein bars and put them in along with chia, hemp, and sesame seeds!

I don't think he's intentionally trying to sabotage you.. My boyfriend is very skinny and can consume anything he wants. He doesn't understand it's a lot harder for me to eat something junky and lose weight. Maybe try explaining it to him your reasons for wanting to lose weight and ask him to support you by not offering…

Almonds do have a lot of calories but they are good for you. I eat about 10-20 at a time and it's about 70-140 calories for 10 to 20. Almonds have "good fat" in them which makes them good for you, and can also help lower you LDL or "bad cholesterol". Keep eating almonds but in moderation.

Breakfast is my favourite meal!! I cook breakfast for a large number of people at work here are some of my favourites: Mini frittatas- You can put anything in them, just mix up some egg, veggies and spice bake in a mini muffin tray with mini cupcake liners. You can freeze them for later, or eat a bunch for breakfast…

coconut and blueberries :) or I add some chia + hemp seed with currants and cranberries

I have two, Elizabeth Ann

It's healthy to lose 1-2 pounds per week, so 7 pounds from the beginning of January sounds like you are on track. Don't stress, it is a lot harder to lose the weight than put it on and it takes time and patience. You are already seeing results. Make sure you are taking your measurements too. Weight can often be…
