Just got mine yesterday - so exciting!! https://www.fitbit.com/user/3G3H42

White fish, broccoli, whole wheat pasta, celery, hummus, apples, protein powder (after workouts of course) fish oil, fiber supplement, vitamin C supplement

Are you eating back your exercise calories? I found that when I don't eat back at least half of my exercise calories, I tend to hang on to weight. Also, depending on what kind of cardio you do, do you take any sort of protein afterward? Whether it be a shake or even some chocolate milk?

Absinthe in Las Vegas on the 17th :D

At work yesterday, someone came around with a box of donuts offering them to people and I resisted those no problem. I think maybe because it was a temporary distraction and they weren't just sitting in front of me. I swear there are Jedi mind tricks that food can play on people when it's just sitting in front of them

I'm just finishing The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest and then I'm going to start On a Pale Horse

I have a weakness for frosted mini wheats sometimes :X

I have all of those on my food diary and almost never go over on those. Thanks so much!

Very cool, thanks so much for the info! I got a little paranoid because my co-worker was surprised I was eating 2 apples. He said that it was a lot of sugar to take in for just one meal.

Yay cupcakes!!

My friends birthday is the day after valentines day lol

Singles Awareness Day? I'm gonna make a whole bunch of cookies/candies and give them to my friends to make them FAT! (ha ha just kidding... about the fat part). It'll be just another diet/exercise day. Maybe I'll actually let myself eat one of the cookies I make. But, I'm definitely gonna pick up some of those little…

I'm totally in on this one! :D

Swimming!

I've never been part of a challenge before, so I'd like to join!

Diesel jeans. It's how a man should smell ALL THE TIME!

I know that when I started with this website I didn't lose any weight either. I think it was because I saw my calorie goal and freaked out about meeting it each day - I would even eat when I wasn't hungry. I also would "exercise" and write off those calories so that I could justify eating more, but honestly, the hula…

If everything doesn't have to be raw, I would recommend doing a lot of steamed vegetables becasue there are so many different ones!

To help it cook faster you should drain it between some paper towels because it has a lot of water in it. I usually sautee it with some crushed garlic, soy sauce and lemon juice or hoisin sauce.

I'm pear shaped, but not extremely. I've also noticed that when I do lose weight it's like I'm melting from my shoulders down and my calves up. The last place I lose weight is from where I really want to! - in my thighs and butt >:|

I know you can't lengthen muscles. I meant how when they're nice and tight and toned, they look long and lean.

I'll definitely have to try it then, thanks!

I wouldn't mind losing muscle mass in my thighs to be honest, but I don't know how to do that. I know that I can tone them up to make them smaller - anything but bigger! That's why I've become invested in yoga in hopes that the stretching will help elongate and tighten my muscles.

I was doing P90X for a little while but that made me gain 3 pounds of muscle and lose no inches. Needless to say I was devastated, so I decided to stop that and take up swimming again.

No children yet, I'm only 22! lol My jean size varies depending on the brand, I'm either a 7 or a 9 (so of course I buy the brand that I'm a 7 in! ha ha)

Very cool, looks like I'm going with classic first and then lean. I'll also try to get some resistance bands or a pull-up bar. Thanks everyone!
