Possibly, but the more I learn about our food system and the food industry, the more I'm starting to see that the obesity epidemic isn't really just about the personal choices that people make, but that our entire environment sets us up to gain weight and live unhealthily.

Amazing! Keeeep it up!

I never said you could or couldn't. I never recommended that anyone eat too little. I'm just saying that everyone who was getting down on her for NETTING 1000 and telling her she needed to eat at least 1200 should maybe consider that those numbers are really unhelpful when being applied so generally. She needs to look at…

To all the people who say that eating under 1200, whatever number of calories is dangerous... what makes 1200 calories the 'magic' number that works for all body types? Couldn't it be dangerous for a huge man to eat less than 1600 or whatever? I'm not disputing that you need to eat enough calories to sustain your body, but…

And what percentage of your food do you think you're consuming of vegetables and fruit? Granted, fruit can usually count as a carb but your veggies, especially the greens, which are incredibly water dense, will totally help you get lean. I know that I do best when the majority of my calories are coming from fruits and…

I've read quite a few intelligent articles about fasting, both scientific and ones that come out of personal experiences. A couple here: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-intermittent-fasting-might-help-you-live-longer-healthier-life&page=3…

turns outi have to go back two more times to complete the stupid assesment. and yes, they are definately trying to sell me personal training. i just dont have the money. i'm a poor student off to vietnam soon. i can't afford it. but it wasnt as scary as i thought it would be. thanks for all the support.

my first five to seven pounds i lost REALLY fast, mostly by drinking lots and Lots and LOTS of WATERRRRR!

most of the advice ive gotten from trainers for strength training for women is to do lots of sets and reps but with a low weight. so instead of doing 8 reps of a hundred pounds, to 12 reps of 40, or something like that. its also been recommended that you only do strength training on a specific part of the body every other…

I eat breakfast every day! i think that when i start my weight loss, i was used to overeating. eating way more than i should, not just calorie wise, but amount wise. so i switch to eating large amounts of lower calorie foods. then i started to train my body to eat normal amounts of food but still kept it low calorie. i…

mostly, im scared that when i get to my goal weight, i wont be able to blame why a guy doesnt like me on the way my body looks, and THATS scary.
-
thank you everyone so much! its definately encouraging to see other people on their weight loss journeys.

i'm nineteen, 5 foot 9 inches, and currently 167 pounds. my goal is to be 150 pounds. i set my calorie goal at 1200. on a normal day, i'll excersize off about 300 of those. i have a hard time eating them back. in fact i have a hard time reaching 1200. i know people are going to yell at me for this, but i normally eat…

ULTIMATE JUNE GOAL: break into the 150s!!! i'll do this by going to the gym four days a week. walk the trail by my house once a week. and go to a yoga class once a week. and of course, keep eating healthy. while im all for setting new goals, it also helps me when i look back on the old goals i have and see whether or not i…

i'm also a keurig owner and i absolutely love it. granted, i don't drink a lot of the specialty drinks because to me, its not worth the calories. but i am addicted to the flavoured coffees. in terms of calories, they're the same as regular coffee - 2 cals for 8 oz. but i assume that there ar some artificial flavourings in…
-
why don't' you try marrying the two. sometimes a compelte overhaul of your life is needed. tell yourself, "for this whole training program, i will live a healthy lifestyle." if your routine in terms of your career is going to be changing, why not change your excersize and nutrition routines as well. this is somthing that…

hummus <3 canned tuna/fish - convenient in a pinch quinoa quinoa quinoa. and this isn't really food but it does help my kick the sugar cravings - light jello - 10 cals for a 1/2 paquet i'm constantly trying to up my protein intake. keep those muscles looking sharp. the quinoa helps because i'm kind of meat-phobic.

im also a college student trying to get in shape before heading back in september. most of the exercise i do is running cause its cheap - all you need are a pair of good running shoes. (and my ipod helps). at first, i hated hauling myself out the door to go run. but i've found a few things that help. find somewhere scenic…

my name is rose, i'm an artist and a bit of a hippie (bohemian), and my friends and i are constantly honouring the 'bro code'. it all fits.

or a bite of a really dark chocolate. i only need a tiny bit because its bitter. but definately kills the craving.
-
i make a nice cup of coffee. i have a keurig and can make lots of flavoured coffee fast. a packet of sweetner and i have all the sweetness and caffeine i need that my body craves for chocolate.
