Hello, I'm Melissa :) I'm a clinical microbiologist (I'm technically a medical laboratory scientist but I only work in micro). I'm planning on starting grad school in July to obtain an MPH. Love epidemiology and all that fun stuff. Feel free to add me :) just getting back on the fitness wagon. Right now I'm mainly doing…

I agree with whoever said they just have trouble finding people to date! Everyone here seems to get married young or they're no good losers. I am thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend, and I feel like part of the reason I'm postponing it is that I just don't want to be single again. It was so easy to find dates in…

If you can't help but buy processed food (like me..denying yourself of stuff you like isn't good!), compare labels between brands. Look for reduced sodium options as well. Here's some more info from the CDC. http://www.cdc.gov/salt/what_you_can_do.htm Unfortunately, food companies are the ones who really need to do…

The more expensive Greek yogurts are the best. Try Greek Gods and Fage. Sooo tasty :) legit Greek yogurt, unlike dannon and yoplait....
-
I LOVE Greek yogurt! Definitely need to try this! I've been getting into buying premade mixed berry containers from my grocery store. Sometimes I melt some chocolate chips to dip them in, or put them in salads :)
-
Ugh I get tired of these processed food Nazis that criticize others for eating unhealthy food ONCE in a while. One fast food meal won't kill you. One everyday for a long period of time, then yes :) denying yourself of something you like is more harmful than helpful. Modifying your diet from say eating something "bad"…

This fits me to a T! 25 looking to lose 20 lbs! Feel free to add me (any one reading this!)
-
Just do what's best for you. Who cares what others do (im talking to both sides here!) Not everyone is the same. Personally I don't count celery, lettuce, blah blah because it hasn't seemed to make a difference. Half the time it adds up to like 6 calories for my serving lol! Fruits and potatoes I try and log, but even…

THIS. It's science, people. I hate when people who don't have a science background believe in mumbo jumbo like this diet and twist facts around. As someone mentioned earlier, its probably just coincidence or that you're eating better in general that you're feeling better. Correlation does not equate cause. Again,…
-
I work at a lab as well (not sure if you work actually IN the lab or at a lab in an office area lol) and I thought it's pretty standard that you can't smoke, chew gum, eat, drink, apply cosmetics, etc in the lab? Is look into that because maybe you'd have an excuse to get him to stop :) I feel bad for you! Spitting makes…

I'm a microbiologist :) (well, officially a medical technologist but nobody knows what that is..) any other science geeks (or anyone else!) Feel free to add me :)
-
I also work in health care (i'm a medical technologist) and it's one of my motivating factors for getting back in shape. Feel free to add me :)
-
People eat there and like it because its fast and compared to almost every other fast food restaurant, it offers truly healthy options. And sodium is in pretty much any processed food in extreme amounts now a days. Even things you wouldn't expect it in. It's not like subway is the only one guilty of that. Not everyone can…

I've lost at least 5 lbs just from not eating as much (like, stopping when I'm full) and eating healthier. I'm not sure how tall you are, but I'm 5'7" and though I am at 156 now, I started at 155 and just by diet went down to about 148. Gained it back by resuming eating poorly though lol. But yes, and also by the time you…
-
I just rejoined after some time off too! Welcome back, ill add you.(anyone else feel free to add me as well!) Sounds like your daughter is your source of inspiration....and sounds Luke you'll be inspiring her as well! :)
-
Does anyone actually have the Zumba one? Would it be better just to get the dvds?
-
Most people just tell me my metabolism has changed and ill never be able to be "high school skinny" again. I'm just having so many issues getting past losing 5 lbs. That's the max I've ever lost, and I gained it back. I don't know if I should focus on toning rather than weight loss? I'm actually at a healthy weight, but…
-
Also I play Just Dance on the Wii :) considering the kinect one...
-
5 lbs is a lot for one week! You don't want to go too quickly. 2 lbs is marvelous!
-
There used to be a thread a while back where people posted pictures of their goal bodies...models, actresses/actors, jillian michaels, etc. There were some models/actresses (i think of mainly non-causian ethnicities mainly...they've got it right lol) who were toned, but not stick thin toothpicks. Maybe find pictures of…

I gained around 20 lbs in college and I'm trying to lose it! It's been so difficult. I'm 5 7" currently 160 (though I think my scale is off..yesterday said I was 156...) And trying to get to 135. Feel free to add me (anyone :))
-
Welcome! Im looking to lose around 20lbs too :) feel free to add me!
-
Sorry I missed last week.....I actually ate pretty crappy the past few weeks and haven't exercised because I've been focusing on changing jobs...I gained 1.2 lbs. Sorry guys :( Planning to get back on track soon......
-
I have run into the same problem as you! I was never super coordinated, but now I'm terrible at dancing (my exercise of choice currently). I'm so bad I am embarrassed to step foot in an actual exercise class, so lately I've just been using DVDs and online videos. However, I think with practice (i.e. repition!) it will come…
-
I gained a pound this week....Could be crappy eating due to social stuff, the fact my time of the month came almost 2 weeks early, and that maybe I am gaining some muscle (I wish!!) lol. Here's the spreadsheet link again:…
-
I've been majorly busy this week so I didn't have much time to workout, and I had lots of social stuff this weekend so I didn't eat too well. I lost .6 lbs, but because I rounded my first two weigh ins, I didn't lose any weight :( sorry..... but I bought a heart rate monitor this week and a new exercise DVD :)
-
I'd look up the calorie count for the bread they used, subtract it from 410, then add 250 :)
-
I am 5'7" and I used to be 125 throughout most of high school. I was 130 for a long time. That's my goal weight. Yes it is healthy :)
-
I LOVE Laughing Cow cheese! Never thought to use it in cooking! I have a basic recipe (not very technical, haha) but it's really tasty, easy to make, and easy to adjust to your liking :) I buy Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Brown Ready Rice and mix it with pineapple chunks (I buy the Dole canned kind) and red bell peppers. Just…

It's a holiday, so don't feel guilty treating it as one :) As the above poster said, you can get back on track. Monday's a new day. Just think of it as going back to work hahaha. Monday sucks, but the rest of the week gets easier :)
