thanks for the tips everyone! I've been practicing every day even if it's just a little bit and it had been going great

This is amazing! Keep up the great work. You are an incredibly inspiring person.

wow! you look amazing and are truly an inspiration! Keep up the good work!

start small. Stick with one goal for a week and then continue to add mini goals until these become habit and lifestyle changes. It also helps me when I plan rewards for accomplishing certain goals such as getting a new dress once a certain weight is reached (make sure the rewards aren't food related!). It can definitely be…

Feel free to add me. I've been away from the site for awhile, but I'm trying to get back into it! I would love to help motivate and support others and get some motivation in return :)

Hey everyone. I used to use this site all the time and it helped me lose about 30 pounds, but I gained a bit back so I'm trying to get back into regular logging again. Always love meeting new friends for support and motivation!

Loooooove this!

I definitely disagree...that would be like saying if you can't fit in 30 minutes of exercise then don't fit in any at all, which is a terrible philosophy. Every little bit counts towards making you healthier.

That entire Gotye album has been on repeat for me as well :) Going to see them the first week in April

I'm 22. Add me if you want :) I love meeting new friends

from all the studies I read a women your size needs 45 to 60 g per day. So glad to see other people providing the same info. I'm really sick of hearing I need 100 to 200 g of protein to build muscle...

You look amazing! Great job. Where did you get that dress in your after pic? it's adorable.

I personally loved the book. It was a fun read and full of great information. I finished it in one day. That being said, it is definitely a vegan diet so if that's not something you want to follow then it would probably be a waste of your time. But, as all the other vegan posters have said, being vegan is awesome and full…

I'm a cardiac/neuro ICU nurse and I work night shift. It's hard for me to force myself to eat at night because I don't feel hungry at 3 am, but then I'm starving by 7:30 when I get off :/ I force myself to have little healthy snacks throughout my shift so I'm not so hungry when I get home.

Colin Firth in basically anything, but especially Pride and Prejudice (the new one just doesn't do Mr. Darcy justice), Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge and Beginners, Ryan Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love, Chris O'Dowd in Bridesmaids, and Joseph Gorden-Levitt in 500 days of Summer and 50/50. I'm also in love with Seth Rogan and…

Happy Herbivore blog has a ton of low fat muffin recipes. I am not good at baking and I've tried about 6 of her recipes and loved them all :) my favorite of hers are apple oatmeal muffins or chocolate chip zucchini muffins!

Honestly, coming from someone who had to do PE for her whole life in school (I just graduated college), it is kind of a joke to the kids (at least all the kids I knew). I still agree that it should be part of the required curriculum because if kids don't have healthy parents they need to learn about health/physical…

It depends really how much was from the creamer. If that was the majority then make sure the rest of your sugar today is from fruit. If the majority is from the banana then just don't worry about it. Unless you are a diabetic, sugar from fruit really doesn't count.

check out the Happy Herbivore blog, Post Punk Kitchen, or Healthy Happy Life blogs. They are all vegan recipe blogs with super yummy, healthy recipes that are pretty easy to make :) They helped me a ton when I went from omnivore to vegan and even my omnivore boyfriend loves the stuff I've made from their recipes

I went from omnivore to vegan about 5 months ago and it was probably the best decision I ever made :) Health reasons initially got me, but now I'm in it for myself, the animals, and the environment. Down almost 25 pounds since then, dropped my cholesterol about 60 points, and have never felt better. I definitely recommend…

The Grammys is messed up in general. Bon Iver winning best new artist? Bon Iver has been one of my favorite bands for the past four years. Why were they considered new? Same with Arcade Fire winning last year. Clearly not much of an awards show. I'm glad these great bands are finally getting the attention they deserve,…

I wear cross trainers. I have a nike pair and I think my other pair are called ryka? I was a die hard asics running shoe fan as well, but since they are made for running and not lateral movement the way cross trainers are they were killing my feet for zumba and boxing. The cross trainers are much lighter weight.

I had been on the pill for about 4 years and I thought that was why I gained so much weight over those 4 years. I went off the pill and still didn't lose anything so went back on it. It was once I drastically changed by diet and exercise routine that I started to lose weight even while on the pill. I realized that i had…

I'm a nurse and it is not ok for you to ask me to diagnose you...I don't know what that weird cramping in your foot/side is from, I don't know if you're going to die from that, I don't know why your pee is a weird color, and no I don't want to look at it. Unless you're my patient and I'm getting paid to take care of you…

Yea Dunkaroos are still around and the other day my brother's friend was eating Koala Yummies! I have no idea where he got those though. I thought they were gone for sure.

I wouldn't limit them :) I eat hummus, kidney and black beans, and avocados almost every day (the avocados are also one of my only sources of fat) and I've consistently lost weight while doing this.

I try to eat soy in moderation so since I already eat tofu and other soy protein substitutes I stick with almond milk for my cereal and baking. I also just like the taste better. unsweetened vanilla almond milk is so yummy on homemade granola.

I'm 5'6" and 142 lbs. I wear a size 8 in jeans and a 4/6 in dresses. This is the same size I was when I weighed 20 lbs more 4 months ago although the clothes look much better now
