Thank you guys, I appreciate the feedback :)

Chicken! You can buy a bag at of boneless skinless breasts at Wal-mart for $6.98. Brown rice, it's like $1 a bag. The possibilities are endless with it...you can season it asian, you can do a southwestern type dish, you can do italian seasonings, you can use curry, lots of choices! If you think about it, that's about $8 a…

Lol. That's a good one.

Hey guys :) I'm 23

ALCOHOL! I will eat like a champ throughout the day, salads, lean proteins, good fats, I drink tons of water. But night comes, I get my shift drink, then somebody will buy me a drink, then somebody else will buy us a drink, and so on... next thing I know, I've had more alcohol calories than I have food calories. So glad I…

This is the best idea ever. Now if I can find a spot in the floor that isn't covered in toys...lol

I log everything, until I get too drunk and lose track...lol

That was so inspiring! Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your success!

If it's a local little place, I find a chain with something similar on their page and log that...and if I really don't know, I just guess a high number, lol.

Couch to 5k is what I used, they have a very informative website that has helped me a lot! I started in December, and now I am capable of doing a 10k, you can do it!

Usually 7, but I always go easy one of those days by just walking or playing wii for an hour. I work out with my boyfriend when he comes home, so he keeps me accountable for it. When I get bored with the elliptical, I do some zumba or some tae bo, or take a run. I also strength train every other day.

Add me! Anybody please add me! :)

Okay dear, I am not a doctor, and can by no means tell you if you have an ED or not. But I am a "recovered" anorectic. At my lowest weight I was 93 lbs, and I am 5'4...my recommendation would be to try and see a doctor soon, just to get your general health checked out. Having an eating disorder is a hard hard hard thing to…

I beg to differ. It is not healthy to lose weight while being a binge drinker, but it is possible, give the poor girl a break. She's in her 20's and has a party life...I have plenty of friends who live off of alcohol on the weekends, some of whom have lost weight some of whom have not gained weight, it is a life phase that…

I have been quit for almost a year now. Here's what I did: 1.) downgraded from Camel crush to pall malls...gross! 2.) since my addiction was mostly with the act of smoking, I cut back to half a cigarette per smoke break 3.) then I cut out one smoke break a day 4.) then I went to only smoking a third of a cigarette per…

I LOVE BEER! I have never tried a beer I didn't like, true story. I drink light beer now, but since they make a yuengling light, it's not so bad. Like everybody else said, just log your calories. On days I plan on going a little crazy (like tomorrow...St. Patrick's Day...having a house party...) I try not to eat very much.…

I put it in my peanut butter cup flavored protein shake. It makes a great dessert! 1 tbsp of peanut butter and one scoop of protein powder if mixed with water is 210 calories, and very filling!

Jalapenos have to be everywhere on my pizza! Like, if there is a bite without jalapeno, I get a bit sad, lol. I don't care what else is on it, there has to be jalapenos, and I have to dip it in ranch :)

When you feel discouraged, or hit a plateau, remember where you started, and look at how far you have come since then...admire what your body is capable of doing that it wasn't able to do before. Your worth as a person comes from so much more than a number on a scale. ~xoxo~

That I'm pretty and my name is Lydia <3

I either try to get an individual size lean cuisine pizza, or a thin whole wheat crust one (like kashi) to share with a friend. Don't deprive yourself so much that it bites you later...pizza is my vice, and I will never give it up.

^^^^ THIS!!!! I love both, the elliptical is if I want to up my burn after a 30 minute run, but don't feel like running for a full hour. Plus I have it in my house, and it fits perfectly in front of the TV, so me and hulu can have a nice long workout date, lol. But I get really *****y these days if I don't actually get in…

Great results! My two year old actually just pointed at the screen and said you were pretty, I agree with her, as should you!

If you like "crap food" ease into eating healthy again by tweaking your favorite recipes. Like I use vegan boca burgers and eat them on whole grain sandwich thins, or if I neeeed pizza (which is often), I get a lean cuisine one. I substitute guacamole for cheese on most of my sandwiches, stuff like that. And I know you…

I'll be your friend :) I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. I lost sight of myself and put on a lot of weight over the past two years, but it's coming off, and things are starting to get back to normal...I could always use more good supportive buddies :)

It's an acquired taste. When I was in my late teens, my 8 year old sister was diagnosed with diabetes, so my parents made us all switch over to diet things, and whole wheat things. At first, it was gross, but I went along with it for her sake. Now, refined sugars, white bread/pasta/rice etc. just taste weird to me and I…

I have giant boobs, even at 98 lbs, I was curvy, so losing weight has never made me "lose" my boobs, although there are a couple awkward weeks here and there in the process of weight loss where they seem to be the only area losing fat, push through, the rest of your body should catch up, and you will be proportional in no…

Whenever I feel like I've gotten smaller, but the scale hasn't moved. Its always reassuring to know that I'm still shrinking in size even though I'm not losing weight.

Ditto this guy

1. I want to be the hottest girl in the bar on my birthday, and Saint Patrick's Day, and Memorial Day, and the 4th of July, and...well, you get the idea ;)
