Yum!

You know what? I also found this to be true in college. I chucked it up to that "more cushion for the pushin' " saying. lol But, yeah, just because we're fat doesn't mean we aren't pretty. Besides, getting laid is more of a confidence game than anything.

I'm fat. I know I'm fat because I wasn't always fat. I'm also a chick... So when I called myself fat in front of my girl friends, it was like I insulted my own mother unforgivably. lol There are people who are a lot fatter than myself, but that doesn't make me LESS fat. Just not AS fat. It might have a slimming appearance…

I'm right there with you. I have a bad ankle from a botched surgery which has led to knee pain, neck problems from a karate injury, AND exercise-induced asthma! lol Also, I find it SO BORING! I used to be very involved in my karate class... Competitions, weapons training, and I was even involved in the "Demonstration Team"…

You have a very sexy muscle tone on your stomach! Did you target your obliques specifically or what did you do? They had an interview with Marisa Miller's in Women's Health and she said her secret was working her obliques. You have MODEL TUMMY!

Oh, I also love looking at the "Flat Belly Day" meal plan Women's Health has in every issue (they are also on their website for free, but next time you're in the check-out line flip through one and take a peak) and pulling ideas for snacks and to-go lunches. Very fresh, very simple. I love WH mag. I also love their…

I took a (very short) gander at your diary. Your calories look good, but when you see mint ice cream and pizza for lunch it make you wonder. :-) What about fresh veggies? And are you working out at all? Also (I will admit I forgot to look) getting enough water does wonders. Things that helped me: - Try finding new "sweets"…

I'm with the "don't"-s on this one. When I've tried to diet before and I put in my desk job, it always suggests like... 1700 calories a day! I tried it just to humor myself and gained weight. I just set it manually... It's the same on FatSecret (for those who've heard of it, I used it before but then I was told about MFP…

I love those things so much... I always want them when we order Chinese.

Wow, that seems like a lot of working out. Just curious, what's your net calories approximately each day? Also, how much water are you drinking? If you're working out that intensely every day, you might not be getting enough so you could be looking at water weight. Also, how much protein made a huge difference with me…

Well... MAYBE I can see an innocent explanation... The calorie budget you set is NET calories (calories consumed - calories burned). I want my net calories to be about 1200 ish BETWEEN working out & exercising (so 25-30 minutes of cardio for me comes up as 300 calories worked off... 1500 - 300 = 1200). Therefore, by…

Welcome. :) I'm just starting out here, too.

So perfect since I'm doing the mini-meal path (I have 5 meals a day at 300 calories each-ish).

I would also like to be added to this group. :-)

I just finally tried spaghetti squash for the first time last week and I am SOLD! Here's the recipe I tried: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/spaghetti-squash-i/detail.aspx According to them, it's only 147 calories per serving! I also put in some cut up chicken breast just before adding the onions to the pan (I just cooked the…
