I agree - you can't go wrong eating natural fruits and vegetables. My only advice is to eat those high in fiber! Like apples, oranges, and berries. Stay away from grapes - they are all sugar!!

I'm a little behind! But I gotta' get back into it! QOTD #9: How do you stay on track with diet and exercise in times of severe stress? I DON'T. Seriously. Not in SEVERE stress anyway. Example: Tuesday I was worried sick about my family in SC and the impending hurricane. I was emailing back and forth with my family to…

I have the same thing....but I know for a fact I also have low iron levels. Maybe you should get your iron levels checked out? My dad (even at 30, he's still the smartest guy i know!) says it could be low blood sugar too though.

REDDIT IMAGE!

I honestly think it's a bit of a scam. If you DON'T take the drops, and you eat 500 calories a day, you will lose weight. That is how I lost my initial 80 pounds. I ate 500 calories a day. I also looked into the drops, and when I saw you could only eat 500 calories a day, that was the "well, duh!" moment. The drops are a…

oooo - I had to try it too...and was disappointed :( it's pretty bitter!

You just answered your own question! :) I too have hit this wall before. The key is making your body do things it hasn't done before! I make sure I never use the same exercise equipment twice in one day, and every night I do a different class. Go try something new and you're bound to see a loss! Best wishes! :)

I only work out to hard rock. My new favorite find is "Gun Show" by In This Moment. That chick can rock like none other. Most girls just can't pull that off. I also love love love Slipknot...Psychosocial is a good one always. Let me tell you, lets not forget about Nine Inch Nails...holy cow...from Pretty Hate Machine to…

"Gun Show" by In This Moment

1- we are shoe sisters. size 11 SUCKS to wear. i HATE shoe shopping! 2- i worked with all men in my last office....we did a contest to see who had the biggest hand...i won...LOL 3- CONGRATULATIONS! That's amazing that you're so close to your goal!

LOL - that actually made me laugh! it's not a disadvantage...trust me...you guys steal our jeans so you can wear heels :p

Men don't date tall women because they're intimidated! They're scared. Luckily my 5'8" husband of almost 10 years loved me the day He met me (at 220) and loves me still...even with my 5" heels!

When I worked in Vegas (and at my fittest), I would get up at 5am, hit the gym, shower, go to work, walk on my lunch, and do a spin class after work. People would tell me it was too much exercise, but when you sit at a desk for 8 hours, it's necessary. Make working out a top priority for you, and it will all fall into…

QOTD #7: Other than working out and losing weight, what have you done to improve your self esteem? I have struggled with self-esteem my entire life. Consistently being picked on growing up (for red hair, for being tall, for being fat, for being weird), causes one to have major issues like that. Now I like to use my slogan…

I recently cut out alcohol completely and I think your body will thank you for it. While some people claim "wine is good for the heart", so is omega-3 and other vitamins, which will overall produce better benefits. I think ANYbody that is SERIOUS about losing weight will completely cut out alcohol. Afterall...it's just…

one word: GAMECOCKS!!!!!! :P

I'm catching up on the QOTD!!! :) QOTD #1: What is your favorite kind of exercise and why? I love love love love love lifting weights. I like to feel like I'm being strong! QOTD #2: How did you find MFP, and how do you like it compared to other programs/sites/diets/etc you've tried in the past? My little brother introduced…

I am on Week 7, day 2 of C25K. I actually ran 35 minutes yesterday without stopping. When I first started, I barely made the 90 seconds. (Sad, I know). Even though I didn't complete the program on track (I had to do week 5 like three times), I still believe in the program. if you have an iPhone, download the app. It…

I am definitely a gym rat - I can't stand working out at home except for my elliptical trainer because then I can watch all my "trash" TV (think Bad Girls Club, Teen Mom, etc - LOL). I've been running 5x's a week, and also joined a studio next to my gym that offers TRX, yoga, pilates, Bar Works, and spin. That combination…

Thanks!!! and OOPS...it's too big...I need to shrink it! Big picture for a big girl, i guess - LOL

Aw that does suck! Hang in there. I know how unhealthy it is to be in a group of teachers. It's sad, but true. My mom is a teacher and I've seen stress get to the best of her! Hopefully you will be able to set a good example for the rest of them this year!

I struggle with MFP telling me to eat more. If I'm not hungry, I'm not going to eat more. I think the key is to regularly eat throughout the day. Your body will NOT go into starvation mode if you do that. Starvation mode occurs when you starve...not when you eat regularly throughout the day. I truly believe you can lose…
