Qdoba
I went to Qdoba for lunch with the family and got a vegetarian burrito. On the menu it said the burrito can be between 230-600 calories, but I added the calories from the ingredients I had and it was in the 800 range. Although I'm not exactly sure if my calculations may have a mistake. I had a flour tortilla with brown…

Weight Loss Plan
So last time I checked I was 151.2 pounds, so I've gained about 2/3 of the freshman fifteen. I'm going to try to change that though. By March 2 (I'm leaving for a family cruise) I hope to weigh 145. Is this a reasonable amount of time to loose that much weight for someone my size? I'm 5'2, 19 years old. I have not gained…

Cruising the Caribbean
So in March, for my college spring break, I will be cruising around the Caribbean islands! I'm so excited because hopefully I'll meet some attractive guys and maybe be Brave enough to talk to them. Also, I am planning on getting a nice bikini top to swim in and I hope I can find one I look good in. I'm no where near the…

Hot Cocoa
Baby it's still cold outside! At least where I live and it makes me crave warmth of all kinds...soup, hot sandwiches, and of course hot cocoa. I made some yesterday figuring homemade hot cocoa mix would be healthier, only I didn't realize my mix has about 35 grams of sugar! Does anyone know of a healthier recipe?

Resolution Explosion
Here I am yet again with the same resolution I set last year. I'm at a heavier weight than I was last year thanks to the freshman fifteen, but look to lose at least 10-15 pounds this year to get back to where I was. I also have a higher up goal to lose 20+ pounds this year, but we'll see. I'm currently 150ish, but I…

Fear the Scale
For the first time in years, I have not weighed myself in over two weeks. Why? Because I'm terrified! I knew the freshman fifteen was real, but I didn't think it'd hit me. After a summer of horse showing, biking, yoga, cleaning stalls, etc. I was about 140ish. Last time I weighed myself I was 150ish. That's ten pounds in…

Fitbit anyone?
I've got a few friends with the app, but I noticed they don't use it much anymore. I have nobody to challenge and no motivation to get steps in. Anyone out there interested in friending me on Fitbit for some motivation?

College
My classes start in about a week and I am STRESSED!!! I also have to find a job and somehow keep my horses into my schedule. My horses have been in my life for so long I don't know what I'd do without them. How do you college students out there manage your time? How do you keep on a healthy track? I know I only have three…

Music while working out
Just curious on the kinds of music people listen to when they workout. Does anyone else listen to motivational videos on YouTube?

Thinking about going vegetarian
Okay, so I've been thinking maybe I should try going vegetarian. Mostly because I hate the way animals are treated leading up to their deaths basically. Also, I want to see if it'll help me lose weight faster and lead to a healthier body. Problem is I really love chicken like a lot. I also hate most fish. I can sometimes…

Top ten
I don't know if this belongs in this forum, but I figured I'd lost my ten favorite foods. I'm not putting them in order because sometimes it changes so anyways...chocolate chip and pumpkin muffins, crab cheese rangoons, chicken enchiladas, elephant ears (I literally only have one a year), rice, Olive Garden breadsticks,…

Starbucks
My friends and I are planning to go to Starbucks tomorrow because we all got gift cards for it. It'll be my first time ever going to Starbucks. I've heard it has a lot of high calorie and high sugared drinks. I was wondering what the healthiest drink there could be other than just black coffee and brewed tea. After all it…

College, job, stress easy...

I'm thinking about doing something involving, animals, nutrition, writing, business, yeah I know a wide variety but all sound amazing to me. Anyways I also have to get a job to help pay for…

Protein Bars for...
Does anyone eat protein bars for breakfast? I know it's good to have protein included in breakfasts, but is a protein bar too much? Should I just stick with cereal or oatmeal and and egg for protein?

Weight Loss Plan
So my original goal for the end of the year was to lose twenty pounds, which I made in January. At that time I was about 148 and right now I'm about 145. I decided to make small milestones instead of one big goal. So by the end of summer I want to weigh 135-137ish. By the end of October I want to be 132-134. Then my weight…

Toning a little
Any tips on how to lose the softness of my waist? I do daily core exercises, yoga, biking, running, and horse back riding. I'm losing weight, but now I want to add an exercise that will help make me look more fit.

A little help
"I've been trying to lose the same 10 pounds for a year," is what I said last year. Now I'm saying I want to lose 20 because I gained 10 pounds in holiday weight and it didn't help that both my grandparents passed away within 11 days of each other, so April added some more weight. My life goal is to be around 125. At this…

30 day challenge
Looking for someone to do a health challenge with me. For the next 30 days I have to give up foods people say. My graduation party is June 11 so I'm starting this challenge after it. I weigh 145 and am 5 foot 2 inches. I'm hoping to lose 10-15 pounds by the end of summer. I don't drink pop at all so don't bother saying…

Kentucky
So I'm from Michigan and for my culinary class we had to pick any place in the world to do a report about. I picked Kentucky because, even though I was only there for 3 days it quickly became my favorite place I've ever been to. I've been to D.C., Vegas, L.A., the Grand Canyon, Florida, San Diego, etc., but Kentucky is my…

Getting No Where
I've been on this app for months now and haven't lost anything. I'm still trying to loss holiday weight. Normally I eat about 1500-1600 calories a day, but I allow myself one cheat day per week. Although sometimes it has to be two cheat days because I'm in a culinary class and we have to try foods more than once a week…

Motivation
I realized that trying to lose 5 pounds by Saturday will not happen escpecially with all the busy schedule and stress. I realized I shouldn't set deadlines on weighing a certain weight by then because either way I try to make it work is extreme...either I barely eat or I eat too much. I'm doing this at my own pace now. No…

Back on Track
For the past week I've been eating very badly...like overeating by a ton. I weighed myself this morning, 150.6 which I haven't been in 2 years! I know a lot of it is water weight and bloat because earlier this week I was 144. I feel bad because I let myself do this to myself, but am hopeful to trying to get back where I…

Binge Eating
For the past week or so I've been overeating daily by...a lot, probably somewhere between 500-1000+ overeating. It always happens at night. Sometimes I work out so it doesn't have that bad of an affect, but it's like every time I see results I got back to where I started. I don't really know why I've been binging so much…

Anyone like me?
So I'm looking to try and get some support from people who are in my situation sort of. I'm 5 ft 2 in., 145 pounds, have a large bone frame, 18 years, etc. Although I'll accept support from anyone at this point. I used to be 165 pounds, got down to 135 at this point last year, but gained 10 pounds in the past 8 months.…

Pullups
One of my goals for the end of the year is to be able to do a pull up. I weight lift about 3 days a week for 15 minutes each day. Is this too little? I do tricep dips, bench presses, bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, etc. Any advice?

Overeat
I went 1000 calories over my limit today. I'm so ashamed, but it's Friday. Anyways tomorrow will be more controlled and better hopefully. I have to clean stalls for a few hours and ride my horse so hopefully that'll help the mistakes I made today. Anyone have any ideas or tips to help me overcome a binge like this? Should…

Good today, Great tomorrow
I was eating healthy all this week, after, of course, the Easter binge. Today was going great, then my family and I went out to celebrate my dad's birthday. I had a chicken sandwich which instead of fries I asked for coleslaw and ate half of it. I split a Peanutbutter pie slice (but I did eat most of it.) I normally don't…

Going Out
So it's my dad's birthday and we are going out to eat at a local restaurant. Hamburgers, fried fish, pies, soups, etc. are served there. No salad is served and I don't like fish. I've been doing really good about eating small portions and with going out to eat I'm scared I'll eat everything in my plate and ruin all my…
