All 5'7 Girls
What is your UGW? Like at what weight are you striving for, and think you will be most comfortable at? I'm just curious :smile: For me, 135 pounds would be perfect.

Caesar Salad?
What is the consensus on them? I don't eat them every day obviously, but just ate one for dinner from Panera, and forgot how delicious they were. Are they really that unhealthy? The Panera on only has 500 and some calories in it, figure it cannot be that bad? Just curious what everyone thinks!

Really needing some motivation.
During the school year, I did great. I'm 5'7, got down to 146 at one point during the school year, then after 5 weeks of studying abroad, got up to 153-154. I have lost ALL motivation to even keep trying this summer. I want to get down to 130-135 and these last 15-20 pounds have been SUCH a struggle. Is it even worth…

Quinoa Recipes
Hey all, I just brought some quinoa at Earth Fare for the first time, and was wondering how you all cooked it? Like some good recipes? I know I could Google it, but I thought it'd be interesting to hear some of your guys variations! Thanks :smile:

sodium!
Okay, so I am currently eating a Panera Greek salad that is loaded with sodium, but light in calories and everything else. I know people say be careful of your sodium intake, but I don't particularly over-consume sodium. I know it retains water, but does it really retain weight? Like will you put on weight because of too…

Studying abroad and weight loss
So I am freaking out, because on May 10 I will be leaving for 5 weeks to study abroad in Ottawa, Canada. I am so excited and ready to live in the beautiful city, but one nagging thought on my mind is my weight loss efforts. I will be living in a single dorm room. We can rent mini fridges, but I am assuming I will most…

Peanut Butter
Why is it so high in calories?? My favorite snack EVER is granny smith apples with 2 Tbsp. of Earth Balance organic peanut butter, but it alone has 190 calories. Are peanuts really that calorie dense, and is this a bad snack to be having consistently? I know the apple is perfectly fine.

Easy soup recipes anyone?
I would love for people to share some soup recipes with me! I LOVE soup so much. The mother I babysit for is moroccan, and always makes delicious soups with lentils in them, so if anyone has any lentil soup recipes, or ANY they would like to share, post away! Preferably soups with few ingredients though (in college, not…

Quick 30 Day Shread Question
Hi all, I have completed 7 days of level 1 of 30DS, but got really sick and had to take 4 days off. Should I just start over to day 1, or pick up where I left off? I'm really hoping that I don't need to start over :grumble: Thanks!!

QUICK question about lunch...
I'm going to go get some Panera for lunch and was wondering which I should choose...Greek Salad with Baguette as side (higher sodium) or Caesar Salad (more calories) I'm torn because they both have their negatives. Thanks!

curious!
A couple of random questions: 1.) Can I mix a multivitamin and fish oil capsules? I plan on taking those 2 everyday but want to make sure they are compatible. 2.) I am going to try going vegetarian, what will that do to my weight loss efforts? 3.) If you have tried 30 day shred, how much weight did you lose? I am not…

20 pounds, does anyone notice a difference?
The turquoise dress picture is from me this weekend, and the others are from almost a year ago. I am down 20 pounds, and at times, it is hard for me to even notice it! Can anyone tell a difference? I'm proud of myself :] working on getting the pics up, hold on!

Stubborn Fat?
When I gained all my weight last year and knew it was time to change, I lost the 15-20 pounds I had put on pretty quickly over the summer. I haven't weighed what I weight now (145, 5'7) in more than 2 years. These last 10 pounds I am trying to lose are really not wanting to come off. I am eating well, workout everyday,…

Question about Dairy
The mother I babysit for is 40 years old and one of the most in shape women I have ever met. The other day, I was asking her for advice and she told me I would FOR SURE notice a change in my body if I gave up dairy. She said greek yogurt and yogurt in general is not as good as everyone makes it out to be. Should I really…

ANNOYED!
I have been hovering around 145 for awhile now. I eat fantastic during the week, but once the weekends come around, I fall off. I don't eat 5000 calories a day or anything, but certainly eat more, and unhealthier things than during the week. I need to lose about 10 more pounds, and it is becoming so hard, because I'm not…

Help with grocery list
Alright, I am going to the grocery tonight. I have about $35 to spend. I already have chicken, and whole wheat pasta, but need mostly everything else. Tell me what you think the healthiest possible groceries I can buy are, using the $35. (I live in Ohio, just to give some reference, so things aren't too expensive here.) I…

Eating on non-workout days, help!
Okay , I am getting surgery on Wednesday, and won't be able to workout for what I am assuming will be a few days afterwards. (Mole removal, including 3 on back, 2 on legs and a big one on the bottom of my foot, which will be the kicker for not being about to workout :/ ) Anyways, I am wondering how not working out will…

Question about frozen yogurt, help!
Okay, so I am kind of addicted to this place we have on our campus, called Cuzzins. It is one of those frozen yogurt places that are everywhere, similar to Pinkberry where you add on your own toppings and serve yourself the yogurt and whatnot. Anyways, if you look at my diary you will see I have some calories left today,…

Need advice on diary please!
Can someone take a look at today's entry. This is a typical eating day for me. I will have a 175 calorie protein shake after workout, and probably a fruit/veggie snack after as well. I am honestly full, ate two full plates of food for lunch and dinner, and am still way under calories. ANY SUGGESTIONS? Thanks :) Also, I…

I CANNOT stop...
bingeing on the weekends! I AM SO FRUSTRATED. I am a very structured person in the way that while I go to classes during the week, I have a certain schedule of how and when I eat. But once the weekend comes along, I just let go. I'll tell myself it's fine, I'll be back to eating healthy monday. But I know this is severely…

Please help!
I am really confused. I ate around 1200 calories every day in the summer, lost 15 pounds, and am now stuck in a rut. The weight seemed to come off so easily over the span of summertime (3 months) but it's moving at a glacial pace now. Should I up my calories to 1400 or 1500 a day or will that be worse? Thanks!
-
Anyone have some suggestions?
I usually work out later at night (9-ish) and never really want to eat when I get home because I really just don't have time (homework, shower, etc.) Does anyone have any easy, healthy after workout smoothies I could make? I feel like they would just be more convenient for me. Thanks! :) P.S. nothing too calorie heavy!

Is this dangerous?
I have senna tablets, because I am pretty irregular, but I rarely ever use them. My irregularity has increased recently, and I feel kind of gross. I haven't used a senna tablet since June, and was wondering if it is a dangerous thing to do to take one, just so i can "clear out" in a sense. No, I am not addicted, nor using…

Help! :]
Alright, I am a recruitment guide for greek life at my school. Tomorrow, I will be on my feet from about 9-5. Will this continuous walking burn any significant amount of calories? Only asking because I will not have time to workout, no, I am not obsessive about counting calories/etc.! Thanks!

Is it bad that...
I DO feel full after eating 1200 or slightly less calories a day? I see so many posts about how people are starving with 1200, but I honestly find it perfect for me. I'm not particularly overweight (5'7 150 pounds) and I workout (elliptical and weights) 5 times a week, sometimes classes on the same day of workouts, so…

Eating back workout calories
WIll not eating back workout calories burned (usually 400-500 ish) Really hinder me in losing weight? I aim for 2 pounds a week, eat 1200 cals a day, and have done fine with it for the most part, but I have taken somewhat of a break in December and am getting back into it when I go back to school next Tuesday. On some days…
