  • Try cauliflower pizza bites! so good with a little marinara sauce, I'm sure your son will love them. I found the recipe on this site, http://www.blogilates.com/blog/2013/10/04/cheesy-cauliflower-pizza-bites/
  • cottage cheese, greek yogurt, apple sauce, frozen yogurt is awesome the first day! helps numb the pain on top of the pain killers. other than this, i ran out of healthy foods really quick.
  • i just completed day 1 today on level 1. wow i didn't realize it burned so many calories, it definately got me sweating though!
  • this week flew by, and i never even thought to post a new challenge for the week. i've been mentally going with 8 glasses of water, and trying to get 20 exercise mins. those i really seem to struggle with
  • i'm done with my exams, finally! just turned in a research paper by midnight last night for a group project. i'm already eating way less calories. maybe its a mental thing, because when i'm stressed and studying, like on monday i ate so much and felt like i was starving all day. hope i do better when finals come around in…
  • ugh i'm a total procrastinator too, called in sick to work today just to get my research paper and take home midterm STARTED and finished by monday. and i caved last night and ate chocolate, and 9 peanut m &ms from a bag i had stashed. today i'm determined to be under my calories, stay away from the sweets, and take mini…
  • i started logging my walking since i haven't made it to the gym very much this term haha. plus i was determined to get my 20 mins of exercise mins for one of my challenges. i walk about 10 mins one way to class since m campus is huge, but don't count walking in between classes since their close. i just walk at a brisk pace…
  • i totally agree. i have been struggling since school started 5 weeks ago, just made it to the gym yesterday for the first time in 20 days haha. you gotta start soomewhere, and its so much easier to do it with friends! feel free to add me, i think it'll be easier to just post the new challenges on my profile so we don't…
  • wow school and your a mom you must stay busy! i started about 5 weeks ago with the challenges, the water one is a great one to start with since i noticed i ate less on the days i got a full 8 glasses of water. i'm finding its all about baby steps to stick with this long term. goodluck!
  • wow that sounds like a feast! i'd eat light for my meals that day, and try to squeeze in a workout before so you have more exercise calories to eat. when i have something like that (ex. easter dinner at my moms) i enter a guess on what i plan to eat into my diary before the meal, that way i'm not guessing as i eat where…
  • bump! i just bought these yesterday from the bulk bins which didn't come with directions so thanks for all the tips! and nutrition info i wasn't sure before why they are so healthy but heard they are the best :)
  • when i'm in a hurry i do 1/2 c quick cook oats with 1 tbs flax seed meal in the microwave with water, than add 1/4 light vanilla soymilk and some cinnamon with a banana on the side. if i think i might be late on lunch that day i'll add 2 egg whites either from hard boiled eggs or scrambled up with a c of fresh baby leaf…
  • so many great ideas. i recently started buying the snack size baggies so i feel like i'm getting a bigger snack. i also bought a cheap scale from target for $5 that i can weigh all my snacks in the baggies so i'm not guessing how much i eat (alot of foods in the database are in grams so that was confusing me) i do the same…
  • here goes day #3 of NO CHOCOLATE! sorry i haven't responded to anyone's post i've been studying like cray for midterms this week. my next one is in 3 hours ugh. goodluck you guys, and feel free to add me p.s. if you find yourself eating chocolate its ok, just don't eat anymore haha. than restart the challenge tomorrow! 6…
  • i definately needed this reminder. i've been studying all day to take my first midterm tonight and i've drank more coffee than water. i've managed so far to stay away from the chocolate though yay!
  • of course! being college students i think we can relate to the problem with stress eating and finding the time to prepare healthy meals and snacks. feel free to join in some of the challenges this week. i'm still figuring out how to use this site, but it has definately helped me alot in just the last two months. welcome to…
  • i've been on here for two months too so thought it was about time i tried to get some more support since i've been starting to slip. i'm still figuring out how to reply to comments etc but its nice that this site is pretty user friendly. i check it more than my facebook now lol. feel free to join any of the challenges i…
  • i totally understand, thats been my challenge is eating the same amount of calories throughout the day in smaller portions. what i did that helps me is put myself on like a eating schedule that follows my break schedule at work. breakfast around 9, lunch between 11-12, snack 1 at 2 p.m. snack 2 at 4 p.m. dinner at 6 or 7,…
  • i have midterms this week. yesterday i ate a 5 pound burrito on campus and found out afterwards it was 950 calories! totally put me over for the rest of the day, and i was feeling so sick from it i didn't have the motivation to go to the gym. we can do this! and for pizza search on here for healthy pizza, i found alot of…

  • bump! i love the kashi go lean cereal, i have the kind with dried berries in it :)
  • i have the same problem. i feel like i don't even have time to make it to the gym now with school and trying to keep up. the only thing that helps me is if i spend more time at school to study instead of at home. at home i tend to snack more just to keep myself more alert. at school or the library i can focus, and only…
  • this was so delicious! i made it for dinner tonight. i added about a cup of fresh baby spinach to the carrots instead of onion, and used garlic salt, oregano, and italian seasoning with a plain canned garlic tomato pasta sauce. it was amazing how the carrots really tasted like pasta! being italian i love pasta so this will…
