fresh veggies and hummus, almonds, POP CHIPS!

Hahaha I totally see where you're going with this, and it's not me. Like someone else said, I think I'm a magnet for psycho-girls. But everyone is right! It's a relief she's gone, and I'm not going to let her bring me down! To the gym I go!

Thanks ladies. It almost feels like I'm going through a breakup! This is not the first time I've gone through this with her - it's actually the third and, surprise!, she's started it every time. I won't go into details, but I'm feeling a little bummed. I'm not confrontational, I hate it, so I was just kinda waiting for her…

I'm going through this right now! I think I've walked into the kitchen 10 times in the last hour, reached for something, and then put it back. I can't stop thinking about cookies!!! I had raisins instead. bleh.

Other than egg whites for breakfast, I don't consume any meat or dairy. It's great!

Don't give up! It's healthy to only lose about a pound a week. I totally understand wanting immediate results, but it's just not realistic. Every one is built differently, and I wish I could eat cake and weigh 100lbs, but I've come to accept that losing weight will be a challenge. It takes discipline, motivation, and the…

I do 6 tbsp of egg whites (I think it's equivalent to 2 eggs), a Thomas Everything Bagel-Thin with mustard (sounds weird, so good), and some fresh fruit. The egg whites cook in about a minute. It's a very quick and filling breakfast!

I was putting away almost 3000 calories a day, and I was STILL hungry. I know it's just part of the territory, but prednisone is just horrible when you're trying to lose weight!

Try to eat a small snack before going to the gym. I agree with the banana, and make sure you stay hydrated! But most of all, listen to your body. If you're feeling dizzy, try to cut back just a little bit.

I'm currently on Prednisone for the Crohn's which is why I've been hitting the gym so hard lately. The first few weeks I was on it, I gained almost 10lbs! Hate that medicine.

1. not wiping down machines when you're done! UGH. so gross. 2. trying to be sneaky and looking at my phone when i'm watching netflix on the treadmill, and then making a "WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?!" face (usually i'm watching a true crime show - first 48, crime 360) 3. hogging machines when people are obviously waiting their…

I've never tried coconut creamer, because I HATE coconut. I can taste the tiniest speck if it's in something.

Does anyone find that almond milk is just not the same as creamer? It's so thin and just doesn't do it for me. I've tried using soy milk before, but I always go right back to the creamers.

The International Delight Skinny Caramel Macchiato creamer has been my nemesis the past few days. I've measured out 2 tbsp per cup, but I like my coffee light and sweet. The small amount I put in just isn't enough! I'd dump half the bottle in if calories didn't matter...

as a fellow petite lady (5'2"), it is true that just a few pounds makes a HUGE difference! Way to go!!

Hi! I've gone between a vegan and vegetarian diet for about 4 years. It's very important that when you remove foods, you are getting the nutrition elsewhere. Bananas are great for potassium, tofu is high in protein, as well as rich, dark greens. You can also look into using meat substitutes - tofurkey, seitan, tempeh,…

Just taking the first step and beginning to work out is great! You should be proud of yourself. But you can't go from nothing to something overnight. Take your time, listen to your body. Hang in there, you're doing great so far!

thanks everybody! i ended up having a Balance protein bar with caramel and chocolate. yummmmmm....

I did 90 min at the gym this morning and I'm at a net of -27 calories today. I know one cookie won't do any damage, but I've already had SO much sugar today from fruit! I'm almost over my limit for the day. Ugh!

hi everybody, add me too!

everybody add me too!

I'll nag you if you nag me!
