i LOVE these - make them all the time. And will often add 1-2 tbsp. of ground flax seed - it adds fiber AND really helps thicken up the mixture. and you dont even taste it.

From what I understand & have read, yes, many distilled spirits have no carbs. http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whattoeat/a/alcbev.htm And this gal posted the Atkins chart- http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art580.asp

Wasn't Samuel L Jackson in Snakes on a Plane? Forest Whitaker - Battlefield Earth..

i hear ya! i was a swimmer for over 10 years & a butterflyer... so if i even get near weights i bulk up and none of my cute dresses fit across my back/shoulders. i work really hard at balancing cardio with lighter weights and i do a LOT of toning with those stretchy band/tube things. (sorry - dont know their name) -…

I also really like low-fat ricotta cheese. with a splash of olive oil and a sprinkle of oregano on top - really yummy!

Looking to lose closer to 25 total, but hoping for 10 by april as well!

TUNA POUCHES!!! they're my best friend

hillarious!

am i the only one that finds it offensive that symptoms of long-term anorexia are being compared so lightly and as a joke?!? not. ok. unless of course you're a medical professional, or registered dietician, in which case, i do, sincerely, apologize

i usually have no problem with 1200 - & i love that it, initially, forces you to think about every single bite/food you eat. it's weirdly obsessive the first 2 weeks, but it really made me re-examine what i eat without even realizing it (handful of this here, scoop of that there, bites of that, etc.) now i try to fill up…

YES. THAT. i seem to recall reading something that "feeling thirsty" is an indication that your body could be up to 20% dehydrated already... that said, yes to the "water comes from food too" - i drink a lot of water (12+ cups a day) because i work-out daily, & feel better, but i also love that i get so much water from…

agreed. SUCH a great sweet-tooth option that's also filling & whatnot... when you go on their website and click on the ingredient list for each bar, the ingredients are all foods you will RECOGNIZE. vanilla, almonds, dates, fruit, etc. They even show pictures of each ingredient. **The cappuccino one is AWESOME! (& it's…

THAT. only i drink vodka with soda water. and it's not a bag of doritors, it's ruffles... yeah. the alcohol is generally not what makes me gain weight, it's the not-quite smart food-choices I tend to make while/before/after drinking. (i know in college i'd carb-load before a drinking night, and then have pizza when i got…

that. And Blake Lively. (because who WOULDN'T want those legs... and that entire spring 2012 Louboutin collection that she was gifted... and had a shoe named after her...)

WATER! important. very. and same as sandrahullema - i keep a 24 oz bottle with me at all times. and i've become rather obsessed with propel zero fitness water mix - i throw 1/2 a packet (or less) into my bottle and it adds a nice light flavor. and it has a few vitamins in it.

Nalgene's All-Terrain-Bottle (ATB) comes in a 22-oz and a 32-oz. I've been using them for years and love them. http://store.nalgene.com/Nalgene-Bike-Bottle-p/22%20ounce%20atb.htm * also love the fact that you can replace the top/mouth part

yep- THAT. i usually do the water/eggs/etc. thing until i'm good enough to face outside, and then go for a long, brisk walk. im sure it's not scientifically true, but "sweating out the alcohol" (& releasing endorphins) really helps. a lot.

speaking of greek yogurt- DESSERT/creamy/sweet yoplait or oikos makes Key Lime Pie Greek Yogurt. Through it into one of those Keebler ready-made mini pie crusts add a tiny plop of whipped creme and you've got yourself a mini key lime pie - and all totally burnable during a regular work-out!

looks great! i am OBSESSED with the morning star chik patties.. (the strips are also good!)

28 here! feel free to add!

I shop at Loft, GAP, Macys (Inc is awesome!) and Banana Repub for work-stuff (& occasionally cute tops) and get a lot of my "going-out" stuff at places like Macys, (Guess is great for sexier looks) as is Kenneth Cole when i want to look "NY Chic" Macys is great bc they're pretty much ALWAYS having a sale. I'm also a fan of…

my (water weight) and tummy go down significantly even after only 5 days of no diet-coke. would LOVE to try it as well, but i rely on a diet coke or seltzer & vodka as an occasional cocktail.. can we say no more than 2-3 glasses per week??

Thanks! I will check it out.

i hate it - the more water i drink, the more bloated i become... argh.

literally JUST read an article/slideshow on actors losing/gaining for roles... http://www.listal.com/list/going-skinny

I've been trying to get back on track since the end of summer - hope you're more successful than i have been.

WOW! Congrats. you are exactly who I want to be/where i want to be with my fitness etc.! such an inspiration!

i try to keep my carbs low too - but i eat bread daily - i just eat low-carb bread and i limit the amount. pepperidge farm makes a nice one http://www.shoprite.com/pd/Pepperidge-Farm/Bread-7-Grain-Bread-CARB-STYLE/20-oz/014100083061/

THIS! so good. also Cat's Cradle (Kurt Vonnegut) and Something Wicked This Way Comes (Ray Bradbury) and Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil (John Berendt)

this. is awesome
