Things i can not wait to go out of style: croped tops and bat winged shirts high wasted jeans? really, come on!

bell pepper with laughing cow cheese almonds with fresh or dried fruit cheese sticks with crackers or chips yogurt cucumber with dip cliff kids bars- 120 cals with fiber and protein

I think my bill has decreased. I live in Alaska so everything is very expensive, once I cut out the frozen meals/ dinners and just bought simple stuff it has gone down a lot. I think portion control has helped a lot. A box of crackers would hardly last, now that I know what a serving is it lasts way longer.

yeap! i decided to weight out my bacon and found out 3 slices weighed way more then they claimed! With some foods I have found them to weight less then what the packages says so that is always nice.

why not store stuff at work? if you eat cheese sticks every day, then keep a pack at work same with yogurt, and similar stuff. My coworker brings in 5 apples every Monday and keeps them in a bowl at her desk. She also has a box of cereal and a carton of milk.

I am very guilty of this aswell, what has helped me the most is to not have in in the house. That way I go to the fridge and the fatty salty thing you want just isn't there. If I am truely hungry I will eat something healthy. For me at least, it is more of a habbit, it will take a couple weeks but once you break the habit…

I love to jump on the trampoline! if you don't have one, another thing I do is do squats, crunchies, or something like that during commercials

I worked as a tour guide on the Alaska Railroadand, two of my favorite where "where does all the snow go during the summer?" and " how far apart are the mile posts?" ( they are EVERY mile btw)

string cheese, edamame beans, plain yogurt( get a larger container and portion out yourself) one of my favoirte things to make are bean burritos, low carb wraps with shredded cheese and beans you get protein, fiber, and good carbs all in one.

is it more or less then you where expecting? That is less then I would think depending on the size. Out portion sizes are huge in the states so it would be over a 1000 here for a "serving".

In a way we do go through a withdrawl, just in a different way, at least I do. I grew up eating pretty well and I know when I would eat bad food I felt terrible, I couldn't to eat something good to make the stomach stuff and general ****ty feelings go away. In a sense that is a side effect.

stretch marks are tears in the underlayers of the skin, that is why they never go away, just lighten. regular lotion everyday helps.

i just listened to a fat 2 fit podcast about this. Outdoors is more challenging becasue there is variations in the groud. Both are good for you it is just what you prefer.

Classes start for me next Thursday, I am a bit nervous because I have a really long break on some days and there is a taco bell on campus. My plan has been to put food in a thermos. I might even resort to a luch box with a cooler for yogurt and stuff.

I have had mine for 6 years now. I got it becasue I like the look, no other reason. Make sure you do your reasearch. The way my mouth is, it never clicks my teeth and I also have a plastic ball instead of metal. I can not stand when I see people constantly playing with it and stuff like that. It makes me want to take mine…

I see what you are saying. I think it has something to do with being so overweight that your body can handle less food much better then if you were only 20 pounds over.

Your 4 year old works?! Keep it where it is ande see what your results are. It will basically give you more calories

This is refered to as net effective carbs. From what I understand, carbs are turned into sugar when they are processed. This causes a spike in blood sugar and fat storage. When fiber is involved it slows down the digestion of carbs and does not cause such a huge spike. That is why people say to stick to whole grains, and…

Vegan refers to eliminating all animal products from your life, not just food. Vegetarian is not eating any animal products. Lacto- veg is making an exception for dairy, ovo-veg is making and exception for eggs, and pescetarian is excluding all meat, milk, and eggs except fish. Why are your reasons for going vegan? Do…

I always get that I am older, but being 21 it is more how I carry myself I think, I have always acted mature. The funny thing is I constantly get mistaken for working in various stores. It seriously happens all the time. I don't know what it is. When i was 14 I babysat 2 kids and took them to the park, moms would not let…

the reason zero calorie sweeteners are considered bad is becasue the body does not know how to process them

Today was our staff meeting and the food provided was chineese. I kept telling myself that it was free and you will never go there under other circumstances. I ended up eating a portion but realized the feeling of being bloated and unhappy is not worth some free food.

Rice! I use to love rice and now it is is just gross to me, tasteless and heavy. Still love pizza though!

it is something you will have to just get over. I had never been to a gym in my life a year ago and was so scared, a friend went with me once and I realized it wasn't that bad. start by doing 30 minutes on the treadmill or something and go from there. there are all types of people at the gym, there is nothing to be scared…

there could be a lot of factors like what time of the day it is or how much water you drank. Best time is buck naked in the a.m.

If snowboarding was easy they would call it skiing.

you could make a smoothie and put it in a container for your commute, I bought a single serving blender for only 20 bucks and it works great, almonds and other bars pack well a thermos works for both hot and hold, I bet it put it in the freezer over night and stuffed some salad stuff in it in the morning it would still be…

portion out a serving of chips and eat the salsa off the chips so you can reuse the chips for a couple dunks. I am totally with you on the salsa love, only on chips though . . .

the only shoes you can wear are Crocs
