Your favorite Quest Bar flavor?
Has anyone tried out some of the quest bar flavors? I've tried the cookie dough and lemon cream pie. LOVE the cookie dough in the toaster oven for a few mins.. the lemon cream pie reminds me of a chewy, hard power bar I used to eat during long softball tournaments. I don't mind the flavor, but I'm a lemon lover and this…

15 lbs & 20 in. lost in 24 days (w. pics)
**I DO NOT LOG EVERY ITEM THAT CROSSES MY LIPS. If you look at my diary, you will see most days it is not completely filled in. Only those days, I would base dinner add-ons and snacks accordingly to make sure I was getting atleast 1,300-1,400 calories/day, which are based on the macros my nutritionist gave me. If you're…

Okay - first off, I KNOW there are 8927349873 topics posted about this subject, but I really don't feel like searching every single one while I'm 'busy' at work.

lose v. loose
I do not have a degree in English.. but seriously everyone.. Lose = to LOSE something (like weight, car keys, mind) Loose = untightened or relaxed (like a shoelace or your old jeans) I LOSE weight, therefore my old jeans are LOOSE. I may LOSE my shoe, because my shoelaces are LOOSE.

I have seen quite a few people who are eating terrible foods but still under…
