How do I change the amount of my calorie intake?
In the food section I log Calories, Carbs, Fats and Proteins...how do I change the daily value I am allowed to have of each of these?

Being "Over" on Protein?
When I log my food for the day I'm almost always over on my "allowed" protein points. Is this a bad thing? I'm within range on the rest of the categories...
-
Steam Room?
Is a steam room safe for you? I just started going to a gym that has a steam room (or sauna...I'm not sure what the difference is, if there even is one). I hear they help you lose weight because they make you sweat but I'm not sure if they are safe. All opinions are appreciated ;)

Has anyone tried the Special K Challenge before? What are the pros/cons of this "diet"? Did you see results - if so, what were they? Any feedback on this would be helpful!

Applebee's Sampler...
I can't find the nutritional value for this anywhere. Any ideas? I know I probably don't want to see the nutritional value haha, but I still need to so I can log it in. Or if anyone can tell me approx how many calories/carbs I took in I'd appreciate it. I ate: 2 cheese sticks 1 boneless buffalo wing (mild) 1 cheese/bacon…

Ugh...the belly flab :(
What can I do to get rid of this? I know I have to do cardio, because that's what burns the fat. But what kinds of things should I be doing? And once I actually have a stomach what can I do to make it tight?

How can I get this weight off?
I've managed to lose about 20-25 pounds since first beginning my journey, but I've been stuck between 145-150 for the past few months and just can't seem to get out of that range. Any ideas?
-
Do "good" carbs count against us?
I was logging my food for the day and I have like a 50-something carb limit. I had an apple during the day, which is like 20 carbs. But aren't these good carbs? If so should this really count against my carb intake? I hate this good carb/bad carb stuff...

HELP...I need to grab a meal on the go!

Juice
I am craving juice! I'm sick of drinking diet soda all the time, and I hate drinking water, but I can't seem to find any juices that are good for me. Does anyone know of any juices that are ok to drink - I don't want to load my body up with bad-for-me ingredients!
-
Eating after Exercising?
Is this ok to do? I'm going to the gym at 4pm and working out for an hour or so, and then I'm supposed to go to my grandparents for dinner. I'm concerned that if I eat I will undo all of the hard work. What's your outlook on things?
-
Flat Stomach
I've lost about 15 pounds and am beginning to feel confident about my appearance. The only thing is, my stomach is still flabby. I have three weeks until I go to Jamaica. Any ideas on how I can tighten up my stomach a bit?

Off Topic: Need Help with History
I'm trying to find information on the free labor system during the Antebellum Era and the internet is letting me down terribly. I was able to find some things, but not a whole lot. Does anyone know anything about the free labor system or where I might go to find some information? Thanks so much!

Alarm Clocks
Does anyone know if they make an alarm clock where you can pre-set it to go off at two different times? My boyfriend and I share an alarm clock...he gets up at 5:30 and I don't get up until 7:00 so he always has to reset the alarm clock for me (when he remembers to lol). Ours just broke so I'm going down to buy a new one…

Appetite Suppressant
Someone was talking about this powder stuff you put into water to help suppress your appetite and I can't remember for the life of me what it's called. Any ideas?

Off Topic - CHICKEN POX
I didn't know where else to ask, but I know there are a lot of moms on here. I think my niece might have chicken pox. I just picked her up and she's got bumps all over her chest and back. She's only a year old. What should/can I do?
-
Breakfast
I need to find something for breakfast. I was trying these protein shakes that my doc gave me, but honestly, I cannot force myself to drink them...they are horrible. Thing is, they're really good for you (I know, go figure). They only have 100 calories, 8 carbs, 2g fat, and 15g protein. Anyone have any ideas for…

Chili from Wendy's?
I didn't bring my lunch today, and everyone is going to Wendy's. I'm in the mood for something warm, so I was thinking chili. I hear it's not too bad for you. Any thoughts?
-
Smoothies...
I don't know how to make a smoothie...I know, kind of silly right. Any healthy smoothie recipes out there that any of you know of? And is there a way I can add more protein to a smoothie? I'm thinking about drinking a smoothie for my breakfast since it's simple and more on the go than what I've been eating. Thanks :)

How Much Can I Lose?
Lets just say I eat healthy (with a few splurges here and there, but nothing major), 1200 calories a day and I exercise 3 times a week (doing 30 minutes of cardio each time, since cardio is the way to burn fat). Do you know approx. how much weight can be lost by June 2009 by eating right and sticking to this exercise plan?

Weight Loss Pills
Are there any pills that are healthy for you that you can take to help with weight loss? I'm not looking for a pill to make all of my weight problems resolved (because I am exercising and try to eat healtheir). I'm just looking for something additional that may help. Any suggestions?

Detoxing
I'm thinking about detoxing starting Sunday to clean out my body. I did some research, and it said for the first two days to drink fresh fruit juice. Does this mean if I want orange juice I have to squeeze the juice out of oranges haha or can I buy fresh juice somewhere?

A side dish
What is a side that can go with chicken. Now I know you're probably thinking anything can go with chicken, but that's not the case this time. I'm eating at my parents bar tonight, and the only "side" we have is french fries. So I'm thinking of something (like out of a box or bag) that I can take there, and they can cook…

Full of Questions
Today is the first day I am attempting to drink 8 glasses of water. This should help flush out my system, right? I haven't exercised since Saturday because I got sick early Monday morning. I still don't feel great...is it ok to eat chicken noodle soup today, even though it's higher in sodium? Chicken Noodle soup always…
