Alternative to bananas? HELP!
Almost every healthy-twist on almost every recipe that I look up has banana in it. That's great for pretty much everyone, but me. I'm allergic to bananas and I want to make these things! I know that pumpkin puree (not pie filling) can be used as a substitute, but HOW MUCH DO I USE? Has anyone ever used this substitute…

Smoothies & Shakes!
Happy Monday everyone! Now that it's summer time, I'm very interested in making some smoothies and shakes and all that kind of great and cold stuff. BUT! I don't know any good recipes. I do know that some of the most delicious things will come from just experimenting, but I was wondering if anyone had any recipes they'd…

1 year and 17 lbs from my goal.. w/ PICTURES!
I realized just now that I've been on this fantastic site for a whole year! (Well, plus three days, but who cares about being THAT exact anyway.) My name's Zoe and I go to UF. Yeah, I'm a college student AND I've lost weight. Some say it's impossible and clearly they're wrong. Also, I'm 5'4" and at my highest I weighed…

My 2012 Accomplishments!
I'm a student at the University of Florida and after my first year I added the "freshman 15 ...+5ish" to my already out of shape self. The day I came home for summer break I weighed in at 192 and tipping the scales close to 200 scared the *kitten* out of me! It's been slow, but I've made some excellent progress this year…

IS ANYBODY ELSE
ALLERGIC TO BANANAS? and disappointed every time a yummy sounding recipe is posted and it contains them? Or just me. It's probably the biggest let down ever. lol If my banana allergy wasn't so severe I would almost risk it because some things sound so delicious.

Crock Pot!
Alright! The title says it! I'm a super busy college student and I love eating a warm cooked meal for dinner every night and I KNOW you guys have some wonderful crock pot recipes up your sleeve, I'm just asking for you to share them with me! If possible, I can't really eat red meat, but ground turkey can usually be…

Pack & GO!
Alright so I'm starting a new job on Monday and I'd really like some ideas as to what I can pack into a lunchbox and bring with me to work that will not only "stay" long enough until I eat it, as well as not totally burst the calorie/sodium bubble for me. I'm also open to quick-pack snacks too! Meals that are 400-600…

NSV!
I noticed tonight that for the first time.. I think ever since I've been an "adult" with an "adult type body" I can NOT see my stomach protruding out in front of "the ladies" I repeat: they're finally bigger than my tummy!! (When standing, sitting is a different story, but one step at a time!) :bigsmile: :bigsmile:…

SMOOTHIES! (minus banana)
Does anyone have any great tasting, filling smoothie recipes that do NOT require bananas? I always see recipes that include bananas and I'm allergic so I end up staying away from smoothies all together. I'd really like something that actually keeps me full for a while, but I think it'd be a nice treat, living in Florida…

My very own!
Along with logging everything I eat and all of my exercise on here, I've decided to get my own blog going. It helps make sure I don't have too many lengthy statuses on here, as well as a way for me to explain how I'm feeling throughout this weight loss journey without making anyone sit down and listen to my rambling…

Strength Training
I don't know very much at all about strength training at all. Rather, the only type of exercise I know about is cardio. I'm looking for people to share with me how to go about changing up my workout. I feel like I've got a pretty decent cardio base, and I have some sort of strength but nothing from exercising. Please…
