Hey! I can't see your food diary, but maybe you aren't eating enough. I know that most people need more than 1200 calories, especially if they are working out. You should try mixing things up a bit - eat a little more, or try different foods in your diet. Feel free to friend me on here if you'd like more support!

I'm not saying that Panera isn't a better option than other choices. I'm just saying that I had no idea the calories in what I, personally, was selecting was so high. They have a lot better options now - I'm referring to years ago when I looked up a sandwich that was popular at the time (that I was eating almost daily) and…

Hmmm I'm not sure about this, but that doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Instead of looking at the calorie amounts, try looking at where the calories come from. If the calories are mostly from protein, for example, you'll feel fuller longer than if they were all from fat. Eating a tiny cube of cheese will not teach you…

Pretty sure I went through a debilitating depression when I discovered the actual calorie content in Panera sandwiches and salads. To think - I thought I was being healthy!!

Thank you so much for asking this! I'm still fighting my insurance for this procedure - they won't even send me to a specialist to see if it's necessary or not. I would wait until I was at my goal weight, obviously, but wanted to start looking into it sooner. Right now I'm at a 34FF, but even when I was incredibly thin in…

Lovely eyebrows!

I don't even like Nickelback, but their song "Animals" always gets me pumped up at the gym haha

Get down to a healthy BMI and body fat % by the summer Tone up so I look and feel good in whatever I want to wear Drink less alcohol Eat as clean/fresh/vegan as possible LOWER MY CHOLESTEROL!

Walk on an incline!

If she was a lawyer she would know that a consenting text is not equivalent to consent in the moment. Even if a girl DOES consent in the moment and then claims "rape" later, the aforementioned text will not protect the son (even if he really was in the right). It's just bad advice all around - I do understand the…

Not what the mother was telling him at all, actually. Basically she told him if he was going to hook up with a drinking/drunk girl, to get consent via text first so that he can't be charged with rape later. Read the article first - nothing to do with "sloots" or "respectable girls."

^I agree that nothing will immunize someone from a rape charge if their "partner" really wants to press charges. But that's why suggesting that a consenting text will provide any protection at all is just dumb and bad advice - and also potentially dangerous for her son!

but what if the son is also intoxicated ? why is there more of a onus on him to be more in control when he's intoxicated and know to not have sex with an intoxicated girl than it is for an intoxicated girl to know to not have sex if she's intoxicated? [/quote] **** My point is not that the male should always be the one in…

I'm very sure this is not the first time it's been said. I'm just very disappointed to see it posted on CNN's website. Like I said, I'm sure she has discussed this with her son and raised him with the proper values. But putting that online could wrongly make many people think that they can do whatever they want as long as…

Track EVERYTHING you eat! I've been bad about it for the past week and I can already tell I'm paying for it, haha. When you log every single thing you eat, you will be more accountable and will want to make better choices. It's also helpful to be able to look back and know WHY you gained or lost. Good luck!

Hellz no! What's the most embarrassing thing that happened to you in 2013?

Haha - right?! I thought he had all the answers to my fitness questions!!

Losing weight is frustrating! It's a long and slow journey. But I can almost guarantee you that you did NOT gain 8 pounds overnight - give it a little time and I'm sure you'll see a more accurate weight. Also, sometimes you just need a good cry! Nothing to be ashamed of. Sounds like you had a great workout and are back on…

Hahahahaha love it.

SPANK! (You've been naughty, haven't you?)

Don't walk with your head down! Head up, show confidence, and hold your keys between your fingers in a fist so you have a weapon in case anyone messes with you. If you are alert and sure of yourself, you are much less likely to be harrassed (let alone attacked). Make eye contact and let everyone you see know that you mean…

I don't understand the concept of "cheat days." I have to agree with ndj1979 - if you want to eat something that's higher in calories, just do it and make it work with the rest of your day. Setting aside a "cheat day" seems like a way to excuse bad choices. In relationships you don't get "cheat days," nor in school or at…

Thank you for the info! That makes sense. I guess I'll have to do a little research to figure out where my bpm should be (I'm assuming it depends on my height/weight/age?). It looks like a watch - I don't have it with me at the moment so I'm not sure what model it is exactly. I also don't know how high quality it is, but…

As other posters have mentioned, remembering to remove your makeup each night is key. I have been using Garden Girl face moisturizer for a couple of years now and love it. It's all natural and is specifically made for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Specifically, I use "No Worries Anti Wrinkle Cream" just because I can feel…

Considering this entire thread is about your *kitten*, I don't think you need to tell anyone to "move along." Not very nice. Although after browsing the rest of the responses, I do have to agree that I think there are other more serious issues at hand. Good luck!
