You might be "exapanded" from excess salt in your diet or not drinking enough water. If you are working out and eating healthy and you gained 6 pounds in a week, it is probably a high sodium intake or some other sort of water weight (I know that I've gone up three pounds in a day from too much sodium. NOT a good feeling).…

I love Kashi cereal. There's one that claims right on the box that it has as much protein as an egg :).

I tried lipofuze before trying to exercise/diet alone. I followed the protocal to the letter, and I did lose some weight (it was quickly gained back), but I felt so crappy all the time. I was light headed and had headaches and just felt overall sick and unwell. I would not recommend it. Good luck with your journey! Edit: I…

It's just sad that this woman is trying to break a record by ruining her health. I can't believe the doctor who said there's nothing wrong mentally going on here. Excuse me, this woman obviously has some sort of issue. Ugh. I feel bad for her.

I'm a vegan. I tried doing it before I went to college, and my parents were not the most supportive. But if you can cook for yourself, then I'd say go for it. It's really easy (and honestly, after about a week you don't crave meat at all if that was ever a problem). I'd say, talk to your parents about it, and if they're…

I would recommend (if you are a serious walker/jogger or if it is your main type of exercise) going to a specialty running store and getting fitted for a good pair of shoes. A lot of people either roll their feet in and out ,and that can effect knees and back and it's really bad. The shoes can be rather expensive but it's…

I prefer in the morning or at least two hours after eating. If I try to exercise (I run primarily) right after eating then I get horrible side cramps

Your metabolism might still be messed up from your disordered eating (I've been there). Also, if you're exercising TOO much, your body can also slow down the metabolism. 1200 is still not a bunch of calories if you've been exercising like a crazy person. Also, as always, watch your intakes (sodium, carbs, sugars, protein,…

I'm not sure what 'clean diet' means, but I'm a vegan. I stay away from everything (even processed sugar unless I know it wasn't made with bone char). Staple foods for me would have to be spinach, tofu, hummus (hummus is your new best friend if you want to be a vegetarian/vegan. What isn't delicious about ground up chick…

I run between 5-10 miles a day five days a week, unless I'm injured. I have to say, my mood has never been better, I've never felt better, and it's such beautiful scenery!

Awesome :). Keep up the good work, you're doing great (and look great, too!)

You're looking fantastic! Keep it up, you're doing great!

150lbs, 5'6", size 8 (or sometimes 6, depending on the store)

Wow, thanks for the answers guys! I'm in pretty good shape. I can run about 5 miles and am slowly trying to train for a marathon, but right now my health and my weight are trying to take precedence (In the past, I've definitely made up for the calories lost when I run with cookies!) Thank you again for all the awesome…

This is a great idea! I'm going to be a sophomore at Lewis & Clark this fall, with a double major in biochemistry and french studies. Unfortunately, last year I definitely gained the freshman fifteen (20), going from 135 to 155. I'm down to 150 now, but still working on it. I try to run and exercise, but it's just so hard…

Don't throw up. It won't do you any good and also the body starts to absorb calories starting 30 seconds after you start eating (so it's not even super effective). I have a huge issue with eating when I'm not hungry, either. Especially with sweets, and it's a big problem. I've been doing better because I've started to just…
