Is it bad to eat baby food?
I was at the grocery store and I found these Gerber "Graduates for Preschoolers" meals. They have pasta with meat sauce, ravioli, and a bunch of other meals that actually look pretty good. They are really low in calories too for descent sized portions. I bought some to try... but do you think it's a bad idea to eat baby…

SERIOUSLY, eat more! I did, and look what happened! (pics)
I am living evidence that eating too little will destroy your body... and eating more will do wonders for it! My story has two parts to it, the unhealthy weight loss part, and then the healthfully getting in rockin' shape part.

If you do 3 workouts a week like I did, stage 1 takes about 6 weeks, then you are supposed to take a week off, and then stage 2 takes about 3 weeks. I ended up taking…

Gained 2 lbs in 2 days???
It is a very sad morning :( I weighed myself this morning and was shocked to see that I had gained 2 pounds since I last weighed myself 2 days ago. I've been a little sick, so I haven't even been eating a lot, and I have no idea what could have caused a gain. Does anyone know what could be going on? If I keep gaining that…

So Delicious Coconut milk? Refrigerate or not?
I bought a box of unsweetened So Delicious Coconut milk. It wasn't refrigerated in the store, but I don't know if I'm supposed to refrigerate it after I opened it. I searched all over the box and I can't find anything about refrigerating it! Does anyone know?

Anyone tried the Hungry Girl Frittata recipe?
I'm making dinner for my boyfriend tomorrow, and it would be nice if I could eat what I make too :) I have the Hungry Girl 200 under 200 cookbook, and I was wondering if anyone has tried the frittata recipe? I want to make it, but only if it tastes good! I'm kind of hoping I won't even have to tell him it's low calorie.

You Are Beautiful!
So I've been having a rough week. I was in a relationship that was suddenly going sour, and it officially ended on Tuesday. Break-ups are really hard for me so I was feeling awful about myself. After class tonight, I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, and right there in the middle of the mirror was a sticky…

My weight loss has completely stopped :( why??
I reached my original goal a few months ago, and set a new goal for myself. My settings are such that I should lose 1 pound a week eating 1400 calories a day (I'm pretty tall so I think my calorie goal is a little higher than some other women), and I stick to my calorie goal almost perfectly. I am generally under on carbs…

Hi everyone! I have a big, important date tomorrow, and I really want to look my best! What should I eat today to prevent any bloating? I know I should stay away from sodium, but should I also stay away from carbs? Would I be better off if I ate mostly just protein and some veggies today?

Are these nutrition labels accurate?
Stop and Shop makes these sugar-free chocolate muffins and the nutrition label says that the serving is 1/2 muffin and it is 75 calories per serving. So the whole muffin is only 150 calories, and these muffins are really really big... so I don't even see how that's possible. Could the nutrition label be wrong, or am I just…

Sodium Question
How much sodium in one day is considered a "low sodium diet"? I think I have way too much sodium in my diet and I want to try to cut back on it, but I really know very little about it. Any advice is welcome!

Am I doing something wrong?
I really want to eat healthy, not just low calorie for weight loss. I feel like I'm eating all the time, and I log everything accurately but I'm always under on my calorie consumption. Is this ok or should I try to add some higher calorie foods into my diet? I don't want to accidently mess up my metabolism.
