I really like raw veggies in humus. :) If you have not tried hummus you should!

You want to make yourself throw up? Ive had plenty of those days and I still loose weight. In fact many dietitians recommend cheat days. If you want to know whats good for you.. Id stop being so hard on yourself and just enjoy a "cheat day" once in awhile. It was only one day. PS I find if I take cheat days it helps keep…

Its not all bad news! Your friend obviously cares about you and is concerned about you even if his concerns are unwarented. As the others have said, showing him your diary may be good. If that does not satisfy him alone you will need to put your foot down. Just make sure he knows that you apreciate him being concerned, but…

Lol! Halloween is my celebration time usually.. So I don't doubt that Monday will look a lot like that for me! :)

I found great 100 cal mini popcorn bags by jolly pop. :) Kashi bars are good to. Also drinking water to keep me full helps hold back the munchies.

Ohh and local conservation areas tend to have events or programs sometimes. If not hiking tends to be a great and cheap past time.

Lol I apologise if you think I was refering to you derectly.. but I was not. :) so there is no need to be offended.

AGREED

Any local zoos or museums? Lol the word "dating" here is obviously not being used literaly. People need to stop being so uptight.

Personally I think girls (as a fellow female) should not be afraid of bulking up with some muscle. To me there is nothing "manly" about it. There is nothing wrong with looking as strong as you feel!

Sure! If you type in walking in your excersice you should be able to find an option for slow pace.

Thanks for the help everyone! Now I wont feel so confused after my workouts. :)

YUCK!!

30 day shred has a lot of jumping.. maybe try jillian's trouble zone video. Its mostly weights.. so you may gain muscle weight. The hardest part for you may be the lunges but you can substitute with other moves. Its one of my fave videos. :)

I would consider buying wrist weights. :) You may find that better as it would leave your hands free.

Nice! Thats both helpful and interesting. I always wondered what it looked like in comparison.

Ive never tried any cleanses.. but I did increase my fibre either through food or a supplement. I did notice it made a difference.

Ive seen these as well.. and am a little curious myself. Mind you i have never tried weight loss pills of any kind before. Maybe I will wait and see some of the reviews here as well. I know green tea (just drinking it black) has helped me in the past, just to reduce cravings by keeping my stomach full. Also it has lots of…

My doctor does not recomend using birth control that prevents you from having a period.. but he is pretty old school. So Im not sure if it has any health effects according to anyone elses. I would recomend going on some sort of birth control however. It really takes the pain away in my case and we all know how hard it can…

I have a hard time without comfort food at night sometimes. If its that for you.. instead of cookies with my tea i try to have a granola bar or something. They have lots of things like special k bliss that are 90 cal a bar or Christie Thinsations that are 100 cal. I find eating strawberries helps me keep away from sweets…

I do videos at home :) Even walmart has a good selection.

I find calorie counters tend to over estimate.. so I try to underestimate the burn and then not eat those calories. If its more then you have written, in my mind its better for you in the long run. I could be wrong in doing this, these are just my thoughts.

Thanks! I was concerned because it does not always go away quickly for me. :) I will definitely try the things suggested as well.

Listen to some dark music when you are writing. Possibly something ambiant. Just make sure it fits the mood you are trying to create. I used to do this a lot when doing artwork. :)

Last time I was sick I tried to work in a cup of real apple juice in the mornings. It might be high in sugar and liquid calories but just a cup is your full daily dose of vitamin C which is what you need right now.

jillian michaels 30 day shred :) Edit: Opps! Sorry did not read closely. I think all her videos have squats and weights and I mostly use her videos. Sorry I dont think I can help. :(

So can I write 2 ounces for one cup?

Thanks!

I like the special k 90 calorie bars. I also like these little tiny frozen yogurt bars by irresistibles for 90 cal. I still get awful cravings for chocolate so the small portions make it easier not to eat too much. I find opening a chocolate bar just to eat a few squares too tempting. :)

I decided to write it as circut training for now.. but Im not sure if that is right.
