Sure, why not treat yourself all day. For most of us, we will be counting calories for more than a couple months. You'll probably end up going a tad crazy if you don't give yourself a cheat day here and there. As long as you're not doing it frequently there's no harm. Lately I give myself a cheat day every other week. I…

For a low cal dressing, I like Kraft Fat Free Zesty Italian. It's 15 calories for 2 tbsp.

I don't exercise when I'm sick. I figure my body needs to use all of its resources to get better instead of using my energy and resources to recover from workouts.

It's fine unless your calorie goal is 1200, because you'd only be consuming 1000. If you're eating at least 1200 everyday, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I like to munch on a whole tomato (usually about 35 cals) by sprinkling salt on it. I did it so much I got sick of it though. I also like all the Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs, especially the Wheat Thins because I love salty crunchy foods.

I did that last week, probably more like 1200 calories in alcohol and french fries. I consciously did it though, since I hadn't drank in 6 months and was celebrating a new job. It was my cheat day. I just maintained my normal diet and exercise the rest of the week and my body actually surprised me by staying the same…

I agree with you. I've been vegan for about 9 years now. There's no way to know how slaughtered animals (or dairy cows, etc.) are treated unless you live on a farm and raise the animals yourself. I'm sure there's people out there that eat "free-range" eggs and "humane" meat but there are no regulations for putting those…

I tried Slimquick and Metabolife Ultra (separately) for a few weeks. Both gave me heart palpitations on half the recommended dosage. I tried the full dose a couple times but it made me insanely jittery and way too hyper, even though they claim to have the same caffeine content as a cup of coffee. Just stay away from them,…

Ok, so now you just need to figure out your calorie goal. There's a link on the BMR website: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/ For example, if you're lightly active: 1758 x 1.375 = 2417.25 calories per day to maintain your weight Since there's 3500 calories in a pound and 500 x 7 days =…

You might want to check out your BMR and then figure out your calorie needs: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ Depending on your results, you may still be able to lose weight and keep a little bit higher calorie goal. I started my goal at 1457 calories and moved down to 1350 after losing 6 pounds. I know I…

The entire "Smash" album by The Offspring. It's amazing

I only started taking fish oil a few days ago for acne. I take 4 capsules a day, which is just about 3 grams of EPA and DHA combined, but that might be more than needed for someone without skin issues. I bought Norwegian Gold Critical Omega from Whole Foods. It's enteric coated to help with digestion and it's supposed to…

That's cool, I'll have to try eating there sometime since they have vegan options too.

I think anything Lady Gaga would be good. It's just upbeat and fun.
