She needs to cut out her soda, it's really not good for her. At her age and activity I would shy away from a "low carb" diet and gear more towards a balanced healthy diet consisting of a balance or protein, carbohydrates and healthy fat. make sure it's "real food" though. 100 calorie packs aren't "real food".

All of these are great suggestions, I would just find something that you enjoy doing and DO IT. If you stick with any of the suggestions made here you WILL see results ;)

About time has the best tasting Whey protein powder that I've had (you can buy individual sample packs) and Optimum Nutrition has the best Caesin IMHO.

I'm the same way. There's certain things that I know I just can't ever have again because I will binge and I'm okay with that. And I'm still a binger, but it's just not on "those" foods now. Everybody has trigger foods, knowing what your's are will help you. But there's a big difference between binging on a food and just…

What do you eat for lunch? The afternoon crash is probably more related to that.

It's not "better" but for most it's just more convenient, especially post workout. I like the About Time brand, doesn't leave me with a weird after taste.

I think a lot of times people try to drop their calories too low or start up enormous exercise routines they can't keep up with. Start small, take baby steps, enjoy the journey- eventually you'll get there!

Exactly. :) You could try a zig zag method too, it is generally an easier way for your body to adapt to raising the calories that you eat.

First off, CONGRATS!!! You have done great so far! If you gained alot during your pregnancy and stretched those muscles out it's going to take a while for it to go down. I didn't have a csection with either of my babies, but I do know those that have and it does take a little longer. Make sure you're working some good…

WHAT are you eating, what are you burning per day and what's your current stats?

I think you've figured it out, you're just questioning yourself too much. If you DON'T eat your exercise calories back, but you eat 1770 per day, you lose around 1-2 pounds a week! If that works for you then DO IT!! :) No point in fixing what isn't broken. MFP sets guidelines, however they are not set in stone, it's just…

If u blend them with some natural nut butter and then stir in cacao nibs it taste just like COOKIE DOUGH!!

I love oatmeal, homemade nut butters, greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese, berries & fiber one cereal; veggies of all sorts, pumpkin... heck, I just really love eating I guess... LOL!!

In sneakers usually a 9 but in heels or sandals I usually wear a 9.5-10

After my second baby and my horrific ONCE AGAIN gain of 70 pounds, exercising was the LAST thing I really wanted to do. I was over whelmed, under nourished and sleep deprived. SOOOO, I made a deal with myself- 7 minutes. I had to workout for seven minutes, if I started a workout and when i hit that seven minute time span I…

I eat them because I like them, they do have an acquired taste. if you like cranberries then you will probably like them. Are they going to melt fat from your booty, no. Do they have health beneftis, yes. I like the serving size & stats on them versus other "dried" fruit (because that's what they remind me of). If it comes…

No, muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound of muscle weighs exactly the same as a pound of fat—they both weigh one pound. A pound IS a pound. Point blank. This whole misconception is always misunderstood and misused. The rationale that muscle weighs more than fat is often used as an explanation for why a person might…

How is this "cheating" on your diet if he is telling you WHAT to eat. if you want some real french fries I don't think some baked parsnips are going to cut it..... I'm all about taking a break and letting go but i think that the individual should be able to EAT, not still stress over how to trim the calories. The whole…
