Protein Pancakes
I'm trying to get more protein into my diet, so I made this super simple protein pancake. 1 egg, 1 scoop of protein powder (I used chocolate Muscle Milk powder) and around 2 OZ of water. It was pretty good and packs 22 grams of protein. You just mix the three ingredients together and I just made one large pancake and with…

I Need Help. Please. Change. Routine. Something.
I feel like I'm doing everything right. I eat heathy, I exercise, cardio and weight training, I'm determined, I read the forums, sometimes I slip up, but it's never too bad. Sometimes I fear I'm not eating enough, sometimes I think I eat too much. I've battled eating disorders and I'm super insecure. I'm 5'3" and I weigh…

INSANITY
So, I keep seeing things about the Insanity workout and I'm considering trying it out. But I want to hear from other people who have done it. What did you think? How much did yours cost? Was it worth the money? Did you get the results you wanted? And anything else you can think of. I'm not trying to lose weight, I just…

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
So, I just made this the other night and it is absolutely amazing. Also for any girls that have trouble with cravings during that time of the month, this is perfect. It's healthy, but sort of dense and cakey and tastes very chocolatey. I'm currently dealing with those cravings, but a slice of this is so satisfying you no…

NEED HELP! PLEASE!
So, essentially, I'm a recovering anorexic, but I still have anorexic friends and such. I'm trying to help them, but being around the sometimes makes me want to go back to my old ways. I'm in one of those spaces where I've started scheming in my head how to keep people from noticing that I haven't been eating and stuff…

Need LGBTQ friends
I've never been with a guy, so I don't feel that I can say I'm definitely a lesbian. You know, don't knock it 'til you try it. But I'm a girl in a committed relationship with another girl and I'd love to have some friends on here that are lesbian, bisexual, gay, anything, just like-minded I suppose. So feel free to add me.…

Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies
I'm sorry to those of you who got excited and thought this was going to be an amazingly fantastic recipe, but no, in fact I am looking for an amazingly fantastic recipe. I got this huge and somewhat sudden craving for peanut butter cookies and I'm wondering if anyone has an awesome healthy recipe or a link to a website or…

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!
Now that I have your attention, I'm wondering what y'all's opinions are on chocolate. I've heard some say that any sweets at all will mess up your lifestyle/diet plan. But, others say that a wee bit of chocolate can even be a healthy addition. In my family we get organic milk chocolate and when I do have any I only eat one…

Post surgery work outs
On Monday I found out that I had Appendicitis and I had to have surgery to get my appendix removed. Now I'm not allowed to lift heavy things, so no lifting weights, and I can't move very fast. I want to do some walking, but I was wondering are there any other good soft work outs for when I start to be able to work out…

Eat, Fast, Live Longer
I'm 5' 3" and weigh 122 pounds, I want to weight 115, or maybe 110, depending on how I look and feel at 115. So, I'm considering starting the 5:2 diet plan. Eat regularly, tracking calories, of course, 5 days out of the week and fast for 2 days a week. Has anyone done this? Do you have any tips? Does anyone want to join…

Scattered Dieting
I read somewhere that it helps you lose weight to do a strict diet a couple days a week, if you can't do it full time. For example, only eating 650 calories 2 days a week. Is this healthy? And/or helpful?

What is your favorite healthy breakfast?
I'm just sort of wondering what other people's are. My new favorite is taking plain, nonfat greek yogurt, which I used to have to add sugar too, but now, instead, I cut up a peach or nectarine to sweeten it and then dump in one serving of Kashi GoLean Crisp. Second best to that is taking the yogurt, a few frozen…

Protein Powder.... What to choose
For awhile I was living in a vegan household and could only get my hands on rice protein, the tables have turned and I'm looking into buying some Whey Protein, but I don't know which brand to buy. I'm looking for advice on what's healthy for your body, what gets the best results, who are the best companies (as in being…

Low goal
I'm only trying to lose 10 pounds and at times that seems like it should be so simple, but it's not. I'm having a lot of trouble. I'm back up to 120, I lost 3 pounds in two days that I barely ate anything and over-exerted myself. It seems the only thing that's been working for me is the times when I get so down that I get…

How often do you weigh yourself?
I've been weighing myself every day, but some people say that that is counter-productive as your weight changes day-to-day. So how often do you all weigh yourselves and why?

Can't Lose Weight
I jog, I do core workouts, I have an elliptical, I lift weights, I bike and I'm just generally a very active person, so I should be losing weight, right? I'm also using this website: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm and I put myself on the extreme weight loss and that's the amount of calories I'm…
