No amount of eating better has ever helped my face. However, low dose dr. prescribed antibiotics did the trick for me for a while. I stopped them due to the negative side effect of getting sun burnt way too easy. Not okay in cali.

what are you trying to achieve? If you are trying for weight loss the most important will be calories. Calories in < calories out will achieve weight loss. However if you are looking to be healthy while doing that it requires a balance of all nutrients. I'm over on my sugar intake every day because I eat fruit. Fruits are…

I did it about 3 weeks in a row then dropped it. Now I go back and do it about once a week. Problem for me was I got way too bored and the same moves for 30 minutes a day started hurting my knees. I would much rather go do a zumba class or even alternate all of Jillian's videos. The program does however work wonders. I…

-I do love grilled chicken from fast food places. Sucks that it's cooked in so much butter so it doesn't stick to the nasty fast food grills that it's loaded with almost as much fat and grease as its fried counterparts. - Vinegar or Italian dressings are better than most fast food places ranch anyways. - Cheese has good…

That is amazing! Your profile pic shows it well. I hope you have found a new doctor since then! One that offers encouragement!.

I'm not vegan but pretty much the only fast restaurant near where I work is a Chipotle. I eat there for lunch a lot and eat a vegan meal. White rice Fajita veggies mild, medium and corn salsa Guacamole lettuce I don't like beans or brown rice but obviously those would be much healthier for me than the white rice. If your…

*cheers while covered in sweat* Just finished day 19. You girls can do it and your will be so proud of you body and yourself when you do!

I play zumba on my kinect for xbox360 a few times a week. Its my exercise when I can't get out of the house and go for a walk.

As far as peeing a lot goes. Once you get through the initial getting your body used to a higher water intake you won't pee as often. And on the other side of the spectrum when you start eating healthy and adding FIBER into your diet you poop a lot. :P

I personally drink 6-12 glasses of water a day normally. I live in a hot climate and my body craves it. My boyfriend who of course lives in the same hot climate drinks almost no water ever. Less than a cup a day. He functions completely fine. He doesn't get sick or dehydrated. He is a healthy weight. He doesn't get sick…

Mine is open but disclaimer I do not watch sodium intake and you can not make me. I'm also not eating to be clean just to be reasonable.

Congratulations on your new size. It will be much easier to find in every store. Also 90$ on 6 shirts is crazy. I would get 4 new outfits with that! Sales wracks are a girl who changes sizes often best friend!

Its not good to sleep after devouring a giant meal but a small healthy snack right before bed is fine. Also the idea is more stop eating an couple hours before bed. For me that makes the time I stop eating around 10. If I stopped eating at 7 I would be starving by the time I layed down for bed.

You stated your mom sometimes indulges you. Make sure she knows your new size as it changes so you don't end up with more stuff that is too big.

For everyone who doesn't eat the amount of calories they should. Does the idea of netting less than 1000 calories bother you? Or the fact that when you complete your diary its screaming at you that you are not eating enough?

Sounds like you are burning more around 1000 calories a day maybe less. I still say get a heart rate monitor to know for sure. :)

I know it would be good if I could skip rice but with my dislike for beans and not liking chicken much its the last substantial filler left for me.

When you exercise daily your body grows used to it and eventually you can do more and more and more. When you eat too much you can eventually eat more and more and more. When you eat too little you can eventually eat less and less and less. All of these things have a cut off point but you can be eating too little and not…

That is over 2 hours of exercise. You should be hungry enough to eat more than 1300 calories for sure! But these calorie counters over estimate burned calories. Get a heart rate monitor and figure out how much your body is actually burning. Then you will have a more accurate evaluation of what fuel your body needs.

I'm a college student. I go to school in the morning and go from class to work with at max an hour in between. (not enough time to go home and eat) this leaves me eating fast food a lot. I also get off late and don't like to cook late at night when I will bother my family. So another fast food meal when I get off work.…

I do half and half on the rice and even then i prefer more white than brown. Their brown rice just doesn't taste all that good to me.

My boyfriend is the same way. He couldn't come up with a flaw in my body if I begged him too. Love is blind. I'm glad I'm learning to love myself. :)

I snack on pickles every day. They are just so yummy. :)

Panda Express!! and also Chinese gourmet express (its a Chinese food place in the mall where I live)

My water intake is always around 10+ glasses. It has been 90 degrees the last few days. Definitely helps with the salt intake.

Do you have a heart rate Monitor to track how many calories you are burning? If not you may want to invest in one so that you are getting an accurate read out of your calories burned. If your not hungry chances are you 1. are not burning as many calories as you think. 2. May be underestimating your foods. 3. Made your body…

Yes, I know my sodium intake is crazy. I eat plenty of frozen meals as well. I don't look at it. I don't care about it. I watch calories, fat, protein, fiber and iron. I will let my tummy be a bit more bloated than it needs to be. At the point people are watching sodium intake they are just starting to obsess over food or…

Mochi and reduce fat greek salads (only been going to trader joes for a couple weeks) those are my 2 favorite items.

Mochi! little ball of strawberry goodness for only 100 calories. I just enjoyed mine. I also keep skinny cow on hand. Its easier to allow 1 a day or every few days than eat an entire thing of cookie dough in a night like I do if I try to restrict myself.
