Exercise to make room for the extra calories, if you are concerned about your macros, well.. like the Posted above said, one meal isn't going to break you.

I know this to be true! We got lost when we went hiking one year and were running low on water so we had to ration. By the time we found our way to a service road everyone had headaches, our tongues were dry, and our urine was a very dark yellow. One of the group was later hospitalized and given fluids. The doctor at the…

Truthfully, as strange as this might sound after a bad day, when I am at home, ready to snack my face off to ease the stress, I listen to this spoken word poem by Shane Koyczan called " instructions for a bad day" it's about six minutes long, helps me get calm, even when I am angry, and I can just suck up the day and think…

It's not about low self esteem. It's about feeling like you belong in your body. It's the same as weight loss in that sense. A lot of us lose weight to feel better about ourselves and fulfill the image that we have in our heads. Just because you wouldn't do it, or don't necessarily agree, doesn't mean it is about "low"…

I'm rewarding myself with the exact opposite! Breast Reductions! Half of my weight loss hope is to reduce my bust naturally, but if I hit my goal and haven't lost what I want there, I am getting the reductions done. Goodbye sore back, shoulder blades and shoulder divots and bad posture! I cannot wait.

Actually, over the course of a lifetime going from a chubby bunny of a kid and growing into an adult, you wouldn't have to eat a substantial amount of calories to gain weight. Consider 12 years where you are slowly gaining weight just by eating 200 calories more than you should everyday, without exercising. Throw in a…

I believe this is entirely true. It's one thing to say to yourself "Damn, I shouldn't have eaten all that" and it's quite another to beat yourself up about it all day, and basically tear yourself down because you had a lapse. That being said, I have the same issue, not as much anymore, but when you grow up and food is love…

Oh my goodness! Congratulations!

I can't! I'm sorry! It's just my opinion!

I would say avoid the beer and the red bull. Beer isn't worth the buzz when you think about the carbs and the calories involved. Red bull, I just wouldn't mix with vodka because both are diuretics. Plus energy drinks, plus weight loss just don't really mix. Weight loss for a lot of people ( I don't necessarily know if it…

I personally don't think you need to lose 20 lbs to achieve a flatter tummy, however, you may want to tone. The first picture that girl is not only slim, she is also obviously toning her tummy.

I think maybe because it was the only way I lost weight before. If not putting a time frame on it helps you, then that is totally awesome, but for me it just made me push it off constantly, like I was saying... "I didn't make my weight goal this week, well whatever, there is another week coming up" I don't concentrate on…
