Come on you guys, 10 chocolate bars and 20 apples were obviously extreme examples just meant to show that too much sugar both in "natural" and "unnatural" forms can be harmful.

No offense, but this isn't very good advice. Most people consume way too much sugar. If the sugar comes from 10 chocolate bars or 20 apples it is still excessive. You may not have a medical reason to worry about it now but if you continue to eat it in excess you will develop one.

I also have depression and anxiety and struggle with feeling too embarrassed to talk to family and friends. It is important to find someone you can talk to. Maybe the therapist you see isn't the one for you, try another one maybe? I looked at your profile and see that you are a single mom, so am I. That in itself is very…

I've tried several that I didn't care for. I get sick of the ones with too many artificial sweeteners fast I find. I tried ON and thought it was alright. Right now I'm really into Vega One and Sport. They are a bit pricey but still cheaper than a serving of meat with equal protein where I live. I just have 1-2 shakes a day…

You may want to split up your macros a bit differently. Looks like you have them set to the MFP standard. I'd increase your protein and fat and decrease the carbs. Do you like sweet potatoes? I find them more filling then regular potatoes and they aren't as starchy. I would also limit yourself to one piece of fruit at a…

It is just air/gas in the joints that cause the cracking and popping. Make sure you are doing joint mobility to warm up prior to exercise and you should be okay.

First off, you are looking great! I can definitely see major improvements. From what I can tell in your diary, I’d say you are eating too much sodium which is coming from all of the processed foods. Try and keep your meals a little more natural i.e. less sauces and packaged foods. Keep up the good work!

I gained 10 pounds over a few months. The first 5 pound gain seemed to go to my lower body and the second 5 pound gain seem to go to my upper body. My boobs filled out so nice I couldn't believe it however, I lost my ab definition. I lost 5 pounds and my boobs shrunk right back to 34B BUT I got my abs back. I'd rather have…

Maybe give spinning a try. It is low impact and you can easily modify your intensity if you need to.

I have always been a believer that they are crazy charlatans. It seems all too convenient that you need to go so frequently and then continue to have to go. I tell you my big toe never used to bother me then one day my ex cracked it and not it always feels like it needs to be cracked. Of course I can't get the damn thing…

Best tasting protein bars are Quest!!! I really like Iso Sensation protein powder, it has 30g of protein per scoop!

Definitely up your protein! I also agree with the others that have said do some lifting. Do you drink much water?

You can't tone fat. What is your diet like?

This happened to me in my recovery as well. It was as if once your body started getting the nutrients it needed it needed more and more. I actually came across a blog that had a good write up about this sort of thing http://www.youreatopia.com/blog/2012/5/22/extreme-hunger-what-is-it.html I'm assuming you aren't working…

I work at a university and all employees have access to the gym. I go every day during my lunch break unless I'm sick or something. The facility isn't the greatest but definitely better than nothing. I sweat lots but I bring my supplies to freshen up afterwards. If you can fit in a workout during your lunch break it is a…

I have had 1 child delivered via c-section. I always remember people saying you could never have a nice stomach if you've had a c-section (or any abdominal surgery). It isn't perfect but better than I figured I would have. You can do it!

YES YES YES!!! Any time I forget to wear mine I'm depressed lol. It is great for seeing how many calories you actually burn as well as keeping track of your heart rate.

afraid to take your top off

I see it very rarely at the one gym I go to. The other one I go to is a university gym and they have signs up that say NO BOOBS NO BUMS NO BELLIES. I'm not sure if this is because of a university wide policy or what.

That's awesome! OK so we conceived Beiber and Nickleback BUT we brought you Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds AND Elisha Cuthbert and Nina Dobrev. Be nice :)

Yeah I always forget I'm in this group cause I don't often bother with the forums. I'm just looking forward to being outside. That was one long *kitten* winter!

I haven't seen any of the Harry Potter series or Lord of the Ring series. I think that makes me a cool rebel haha.

Amazing results, good for you!!

bang and date and bang some more (smithaldo)

I have never done crossfit but I think everyone still needs to use common sense when starting a workout regime. Obviously if a person hasn't done much exercise they shouldn't just join crossfit or attempt to run a marathon. You work your way up until eventually you are fit enough and experienced enough to take on more…

I used to take a TRX class and it was fantastic!! I only stopped because it wasn't a convenient time.

Well you look great and happy early birthday!
