I too am studying and a mom...me, I stick to the calories laid out for the day. As far as exercise goes...go on how you feel, maybe modify to do half?

I have made her oatmeal recipe with the unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it is delish! I add some fresh fruit or a Keurig Dark hot Chocolate cup...yummy! I have made her buffalo chicken tenders too and those were wicked delish! Even hubby liked them...

Welcome :) I'm the same way....do great then flounder! I've been losing weight since November. So far 20lbs gone. Want to lose another 10lbs and I'll be happy. Feel free to friend me if you want...I'll try to motivate you if I can :)

I think water might make the popcorn shrivel and get all soggy... have you tried putting it in a bag with the salt and shaking it? That way the salt goes in all the little nooks and crannies.

amydcarlson ~ seems like we are almost in the same boat! I'm sure you're gonna be a rockstar :flowerforyou:

ctheslayer ~ way to go girl!! That's awesome!! Best wishes on your triathalon!
