I ate an extra protein last night because I was hungry, so I tried working out a little longer, but I still gained a little. I guess I didn't work it all off, but luckily it wasn't a dramatic gain so I am not too discouraged. I am getting better at not letting one bad day affect me.

I have been using hyvee brand whey protein powder, chocolate flavor. I like it because it is only 110 calories and 20g or protein per scoop. Although I have been looking for other flavors so I went to GNC and bought their vanilla cream 100% whey protein powder which is 130 calories and 24g of protein per scoop. I think…

Good morning:) Or it may be afternoon in some places now. Thanks btsinmd! The strength training went terrible! It was abs day. I feel like I have no muscle at all, I was struggling the entire time, and in pain. Luckily, it didn't carry over into today and I will give it a fresh go later. I think I have arms or legs…

Ha I don't know anything about these stars you speak of, but taking an educated guess, I went back to add up all my calories from the past week. The total came out around 8567. I was pleased with myself that I only went more than 100 calories over, once last week. The other six days I stayed within 100 calories of my goal.…

I never thought I would like it, but it has grown on me and now I wish my mom would make me some everyday. But it's a meal replacement smoothie: kale, banana, peanut butter, blueberry smoothie. There a million different ways to tweak it, but it is surprisingly good

@krissy ugh you're too pretty

Hey all! I'm Jessi, junior studying economics. I would love having more friends my age! Ugh, back to school is coming up and so are the bad habits. But I'm determined to beat it this year. I'm not going to throw away a summer's worth of working hard for midnight snacking and weekend binge drinking! At least I'm going to…

Hope everyone's weekends were great! I may have fell in love with protein bars this weekend. Ate a few more than I know I should but I plan to work it off. I refuse to let all my hard work go to waste.

I took my first body fat percentage reading today. I am in the average range, but I want to move into the fitness/ideal range. So, that means I will have to start strength training with sincerity. I do cardio to keep from maintaining weight, but I keep reading that if there is no resistance training, then some of the…

I reached my goal weight, going to power through to my ultimate goal weight. I bought a body fat monitor because now that weight loss isn't a goal anymore, losing body fat will give me something to keep working for. I hope it is accurate, I'm excited to see where I am at. I was able to get in an intense workout last night.…

I took my body measurements for the first time today to try to find out what my body fat percentage is. I'm having trouble finding a website to help me input the information. I tried four or five and I get a wide range of answers. Do any of you have a reliable website or should I try to go to a professional for my true…

Yesterday was basically my rest day since I only did half a workout before calling it quits. Does make me feel more rested and energized today though. I definitely can relate to the cravings line from the motivational poster. I feel hungry all the time because I am a boredom eater, but I really do crave results more and…

Hi Carolyn! I love meeting people who have similar goals as me. I'm 5'0" and twenty years old and I'm also trying to find that balance of eating healthy and being full. I have an open diary (or at least I think I do) so you can add me and maybe we can help each other out with recipes and motivation and such!

Ugh I half-assed my workout last night. So I felt bad about quitting early and just crawling into bed to fall asleep watching tv. But its a new day and I feel ready to take it on! I kept dreaming about going back to school and showing off all the hard work I have put into being healthy and happy. I got new motivation in…

Just watched Big Brother. Got my guilty pleasure in for the day now gotta power through a workout and a headache. Hope everyone else feels more motivated than I. But I will feel better tomorrow knowing I got it in. This headache may even stop me from blowing all this hard work on a thirsty Thursday. klynch - haha makes me…

I've been doing good so far. Hoping to continue today with some cardio tonight while I watch Star Trek. I notice results better when I bike for two episodes, or more like eighty minutes. But that won't be until after I watch Big Brother. Then, I'll turn the tv on again to just whatever is on, usually the news by that time…

I been there. I gain weight at school and barely even notice it until summer break. Then I spend all summer working it off only to start over in the fall. This will be my third attempt to be healthy at college. I have no idea how I'm going to do it, but I'm not going to ignore it this time. I think just recognizing that I…

Hey guys! I'm happy to report that I was able to get an ab workout in right before bed. I'm hoping my eyes aren't playing tricks on me because I feel like I can see a difference, but it hasn't been very long since I started strength training so I don't know... I am slowly drinking more water every day.... Still not up to…

I was able to get in eighty minutes of riding the stationary bike at a decent hour. And then right before bed I did some abs. I don't know if it is my imagination or not, but I think I am seeing some differences in my stomach area even though I haven't been doing abs very long. That's exciting!

Sooo, I think I added everyone in this discussion, but if I missed you then feel free to add me. I am on here everyday and I have met some really great, supportive people on here and I hope everyone else has been having a good experience on here too. If not, then talk to me more hahaha I can't promise I'll be funny or…

I DID get a workout in at 10pm last night. 40min on the bike and 10min with a workout app for abs. I was yawning the entire time and I was able to sleep great. Plus having a friendly scale reading this morning just pushed my good mood even higher:) It just motivates me more to continue the good work so that I always feel…

I had a busy day in town, where I rewarded myself with two new tops and a pair of shorts. Then I spent the evening playing "mom" for my dad since my actual mother is out of town on vacation and my dad doesn't know how to cook or clean or anything. I caught up on some homework, which makes me feel almost as good as working…

Well, I went to bed at a decent hour last night.... With the help of ZZZquil, but still. I didn't feel the need for a bedtime snack either! Haven't worked out yet today, or drank enough water. But I still have a little while before bed. I spent the whole day in town, which is unusual for me. The rest of the week should go…

Hey guys:) I'm Jessi, about to go off to my junior year of college. Trying not to gain college weight this time around. I've gained the freshmen fifteen every year and I want to nip that bad habit in the bud. My biggest motivation right now is that I'm recently single after a long-term relationship and I want to hit the…

Hi! I'm new at this but everyone looks so awesome and it's inspiring that everyone makes goals and sticks with them. My two week goals are: 1) start strength training (abs, butt, arms, legs) 2) drink EIGHT glasses of water a day (like I'm suppose to, I just never seem to get around to it) 3) quit late night snacking 4)…

Hi! My name is Jessi, I'm a college student from Iowa. I'm just trying to start something healthy habits before going back to school. I get so caught up in studies and socializing that I don't pay attention to my eating habits and working out is basically nonexistent since it is so much more inconvenient than living at…
