I ended up adding 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 1/4 c egg whites and it came out great! Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I've mastered it... 1 banana 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract Dash of salt Dash of baking powder 1 tbsp of cornstarch The cornstarch thickens it up and the baking powder makes them fluffy!!!! They come out perfect every time

I just tried spiralizing a sweet potato with a vegetti and was completely unsuccessful :( now considering a more expensive one!

Check out pinterest. Browse through the Food and Drink section... seriously it gave me so many ideas. Blogs like SkinnyTaste and HungryGirl are great places to start, too

Stop skipping meals! Stop torturing yourself!!!! You can eat other foods. Get on Pinterest and find some recipes. Get creative. Log everything and enjoy yourself

Youtube (Jessica Smith is a fav), Jillian Michaels DVDs (some of which are in the bargain bin at Walmart), Netflix, Cablevision On Demand has workout videos, yoga, running/walking/biking, Beachbody DVDs are good workouts (but very expensive and they WILL try to get you to buy Shakeology... don't do it)

21 Day Fix works.... but it made me become so neurotic about putting my foods in the containers that I was brought to hysterics over the thought of going out to eat for a grandmother's birthday. Something it has taken me a year and a 30lb gain to get over. As a survivor of the Beachbody Coach phenomena, It's a good program…

When I first started as a smoker I found walking, biking, and yoga to be beneficial for me. If you want to workout privately, I really enjoyed T25.

Thank you!

Fairly certain it was tested within the last 2 years and was normal but I'll have to double check on that

Nope, still drinking a cup of coffee per day

I drink one cup of coffee a day normally.. Haven't stopped that. I'm really confused and feel so dumb --- is what I'm doing bad with carbs? Can you give me some insight?

I wasn't given any specifics other than the guideline of eat low carb and less added sugar. I'm aiming preferably around 100-115g of carbs per day... I figured that would be a decent midline with upped protein and moderate fat. What is low carb flu?

I think you will be gorgeous regardless of the size of your dress. That being said I agree with the other poster that it may be possible if you log correctly

My doctor recommended going low carb and cutting added sugar, not all sugar.

Is a gallon of water too much?

I thought I was balanced, but maybe I'm not as much as I thought I was. I'll eat something salty and see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestions!!

Will do... my goal is to drink about a gallon of water per day. I was very close yesterday and I've been drinking nonstop today, too. I'm pretty sure I'm eating enough as well... I've just never had headaches like this from eating healthier. It's really rough

Ugh I am having the same exact problem. At square one right now and I have horrible headaches as a result of the off-track eating. I just keep asking myself if the choices I'm making are getting me closer or further from my goals... You have to want it more than you want to eat crap unfortunately :neutral:

Do less cardio and lift more weights :)

There's plenty of healthy options in the dining hall, you just have to find them. Personally, I couldn't go without solid food for more than a day or so before getting hangry

The only way to really know that is to go to a dr and get tested. What works for one person won't always work for someone else. We're all unique and you need to do what works for you and find that magic formula

You should be eating more. Take your body weight, multiply by 10. That's the number of calories you can eat to maintain. Subtract 500 calories. That number will give you the result for weight loss of about a pound a week, according to what I've read

Ha I may have to cut it back- I'm completely addicted!!!

Feel free to add me!

If you haven't tried it yet, the Strawberry Acai Refresher is delicious

Based on other peoples comments I don't need to write anything lengthy. The period of time I used this program was possibly the only time in my life that people I loved felt I was exhibiting ED symptoms. I became obsessive with it. Sure I lost weight, but it drove me crazy... Use at your own risk and beware shakeology-…

Thanks everybody!

Alright- I started C25k in the fall and it became too cold for me to continue outside- I'll start back up with it on the treadmill if that's my best bet!

So far I've only been walking. I want to improve my lung capacity (cardiovascular?) and become stronger so when I do start jogging steadily it's not as bad. Also looking to attain some fat loss
