Carb craving when sick?
I have been sick for the entire week (Strep like symptoms but officially not strep) and have been craving carbs which I can usually resist but this week it has been very difficult.

Why does food have to taste good????
Has anyone tried the Quaker Oat Squares in Cinnamon flavor? I could seriously eat the whole box. No milk needed. If food didn't taste so good, this weight thing would be so easy!! Just venting.

Terrified of Maintenance
I did not have that much to lose but what I did lose has made a huge difference. I can't believe how great I feel and how much I am love working out and being in shape. I am now on maintenance and am terrified of it because I do not want to gain the weight back. I can't believe how many calories I have gone up to and even…
