Apparently I'm in the minority, but I love mine! It's a great surprise every time, and I've liked almost everything. I like the small portions because I often bring them for snacks when I will be on campus all day.

Thanks for all the responses! I am only a casual runner so I've never heard that asphalt is softer before. Makes sense. I guess what's bothered me lately is all the unsafe runners! That woman at night was putting herself in a very dangerous situation, especially because I'm in a college town and people tend to be ****ty…

I make it with milk (tastes better too!), and sometimes I'll add protein powder (french vanilla or chocolate), peanut butter, or chia seeds. I also like to make overnight oatmeal with milk and greek yogurt which is great for protein.

I think it would be a good idea for you to eat normally for maybe a week to see how many calories you are consuming daily on average. From there, you can decrease calories by maybe 100-200 a week to get down to the goal for 1lb/week. If you find that too challenging, just up your calories and go for .5lb/week! Congrats on…

20! Anyone on here feel free to add me :)

It works well in a ninja! I actually just have the chopper, not the blender or anything. I poured everything in there, mixed, and poured it into the pan.

Make a diet change for the family. Make healthy foods for family meals and then encourage your daughter to start exercising with some sort of sport. Don't forbid any food. I was a chubby kid and wish that my parents had encouraged healthy choices. If it's something you do for the whole family, it won't single her out.

I deleted the MFP app (purposefully) when I was drunk over the weekend because the numbers have been a source of anxiety lately, and I'm working to reduce the anxiety in my life. I've figured out how to eat well, so I am going to try to just make healthy choices and only eat when I'm hungry. I will still weigh and measure…

All the TDEE calculators put me around 1750 (as a female) for maintenance with light exercise, so the 1600 plus eating back exercise calories gives me a comfortable amount of wiggle room. I'm planning on upping it eventually (2000 is a crazy amount to think about haha) depending on where my weight goes, but I'm happy here…

If possible, I make all the healthier foods I love but haven't gotten a chance to eat during the week. Today I've had a bowl of cheerios and frozen blueberries; a "jalapeno popper" egg white omelette with jalapenos, bacon, fat free cream cheese, and cheddar cheese; and baked sweet potato fries. I already have a cheesy…

I like the small single serving type of treats, like the Ghirardelli squares. One square is between 70-80 calories depending on the filling, and if I eat it slowly it's a nice, satisfying pre-bed treat. I often eat it when I've already gotten in bed haha. Or the Pound Plus Chocolate from Trader Joe's. I eat more dark…

I HATE the treadmill. It's totally a mental thing for me. I love getting outside and feeling the fresh air and exerting myself. I don't get that freedom on a treadmill, and I need something that's extremely engaging in front of me to keep my eyes off the time and mileage. It's the same with the elliptical. I just tried…

If you eat a larger late lunch around 2, that should get you through the first half of your shift. Bring an apple or nuts or something like that, and you should be able to make it until you get home.

What are you eating? If you add in wine calories, you can't be eating more than 700-800 calories a day. Add in healthy fats. Peanut butter on toast, sautee veggies in olive oil, etc.

Greek yogurt is the best for healthy desserts. I put a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and some sugar and some raspberries, and it's almost like pudding. The other day I was really craving a smoothie, so I blended up some fresh raspberries and frozen mangoes and mixed that in with greek yogurt and it was DIVINE. I…

I used to be like that in middle school and early high school. I would force down a granola bar or something but it was difficult and made me feel gross, but I didn't have the chance to eat for 4-5 hours after that so it was a necessity. If you don't want to eat then, don't eat! If I don't want real food in the morning but…

Right now I'm just running, so I hate the gym. I HATE treadmills and ellipticals. Half the reason I enjoy running is being outside and letting everything else in life float away, and that doesn't happen at the gym. I avoid the weight area because I'm scared. Not gonna lie. I'm just not going to be comfortable in that area…

I'm a fan of turkey burgers. I put in two tablespoons of barbecue sauce, spices, and some cheese. Divide into 4 patties, cook one now and freeze the rest for later! With 20 oz of meat plus my add ins, it's 250 calories per patty.

Me! I'm 5'4" and hovering around 114-115, down from 125. I have my goal set to 1500 to lose .5 lbs a week, and it's been very slow lately but that 10 lbs makes such a difference when you're short like us! I wear a 2/4 (usually more like a 2, size 4 swims on me!) or juniors 3/5. I have a very small chest, so none of my…

If I don't have a lot of calories to spare but need to snack, I like to incorporate greek yogurt in some capacity. Last night I had half a cup (35 cal) with half a tbsp of cocoa powder (10 cal) and some fresh raspberries (15 cal). I was stuffed afterwards! Tonight I had half a cup of greek yogurt (35 cal) and 1/4 cup…

I don't know about the salad bar and tofu, but my college's dining hall definitely has a sandwich station. We also have a pretty big salad bar - I've just never specifically looked for tofu. But there are certainly beans and fruits and a ton of different veggies. My school also always vegetarian and vegan options in the…

It made 12 normal sized muffins.

My body isn't a fan! I feel like since I've been limiting my carbs more lately (not low carb, just not super carb heavy like I used to eat) I'm especially sensitive to changes in carb intake. I've had a LOT of carbs in the past few days and I am feeling disgusting. My body is craving fruit and vegetables and protein! I'm a…

I bring apples or some sort of fruit, cheese sticks, pretzels, and greek yogurt. I also pack almost all my meals, so my backpack is always awkwardly shaped due to tupperware haha. It takes a lot of effort, but there's no other way I could stay on track on campus.

Try to pre-plan everything that you possibly can. That's the only way I can continue to stay on track in school. There are days when I'm out of my house from 7:30am - 8:30 pm and I pack a lunch, dinner, and snacks. Or I plan what kind of thing I can eat on campus if I don't have room/time to bring everything for the day.…

Thanks, just wanted to clarify that :) I didn't mean that I overindulge like crazy on weekends and justify it by eating less during the week. I mean more along the lines of my parents are coming for dinner tomorrow and it's nice to know I can enjoy whatever reasonably-healthy-but-probably-over-calorie dinner I eat, because…

Responding to an earlier post, I'm overeating maybe one or two meals a week, and even then I rarely go over maintenance. Last week I was under or very slightly above my deficit goal every day except for one in which I was 300-400 over maintenance. My boyfriend's mom made us filet mignon and sweet potatoes for dinner. There…

Today for fruits and veggies I have logged: 1 banana - 105 1 cup spinach - 10 Mixed bell peppers (1/4 cup) - 12 1/3 cup strawberries - 16 1 cup green beans - 40 1 cup broccoli - 52 That's 235 calories potentially unlogged. That would undo my entire deficit for the day if I ate at my calorie goal otherwise. So yes, you…

That is actually exciting haha. I'm getting there - still put some frozen fruit in mine, but no longer do I put sugar to sweeten it! I use the Dannon Light 80 calorie blueberry yogurt to make blueberry pancakes in the morning, and if I have a bite of the yogurt straight the sweetness is overwhelming!

Why not? I'm not getting out of a restaurant or homecooked meal with less than 600-700 calories unless I really try and stress myself out about it. Given that I have 1400 calories a day and the fact that I don't have the time or desire to exercise off every surplus calorie I eat during the week means that it makes sense…
