Low Calorie, High Protein, Vegetarian Foods.
As a vegetarian it's a constant battle to eat enough protein. I just don't get enough. I usually don't worry about it, but I've been pretty tired lately, and am thinking it might have something to do with a lack of protein. This is a completely uneducated guess, but either way I should be eating more. Does anyone know of…

Need new music!!
I'm trying to come up with an awesome playlist for my wedding ceremony, but I'm drawing a blank. Give me some suggestions for your favourite folk love songs?

Help?
SO. I need some inspiration. Could you lovely people please give me awesome reasons to get my *kitten* in gear and start caring about my health and weight? I'm not looking for "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" - be creative! Haha. My story (not that you want to read it, but too freakin' bad): I'm a 24 year old mama…

Should I stop losing weight?
I'm getting married next summer. I was wondering if I should stop losing weight, and maintain once I buy my gown. I have found a resource to get a very inexpensive gown, and don't have the money for multiple alterations on my dress. How do I buy the gown? I'm too nervous to buy it too small, in case I don't lose enough…

Need Opinions/Experiences - having more kids.
Let me start off by saying that I realize this is a very personal, individual decision between my husband and myself. I will not be making this decision solely based on what people say, but I'm hoping to gain more insight on different viewpoints I may not have considered yet. Now that I've said that, I would love for…

HRMs?? What?!

See into the future?
I found this site while looking for something to show me what my body might look like at my goal weight.. "My Body Gallery" has images of real women at different heights and weights to look through. I thought this might come in handy to either give you an idea of what you'll look like at your ideal weight, or maybe help…

Reward System?
I feel like I need more motivation to do this.. I'm happy with what I've lost, but it's usually here where I give up. I don't know what to do to get myself moving and staying active. I just want to be a couch potato all day. Any suggestions on how to get up and go? I think I need a reward system in place, I work well that…

Good Book?
Whenever I find myself with some extra time on my hands I love to read. I was hoping for some book suggestions. I'm 22 and a recent college grad. I tend to read romance/"chick-lit" or mystery/crime books, both in one if possible! I tend to completely lose myself in a good love story, I'm a romantic at heart!! Lately I've…

Easy workout?
This is probably on that list of "questions that are posted 3 times a day" but I'm going to post it anyway. Does anyone have any ideas for a super easy workout? I don't have money for a gym since I'm moving soon. My new apartment will have no room for me to dance and kick to a dvd. I'm really just looking for a routine of…

My Zig Zag Diet?
So I think I'm going to start calorie cycling, or a zig zag diet because I only seem to lose weight when I start eating enough calories, and when I start eating too few calories. As soon I get into a routine it seems my weight loss come to a halt. I was hoping for opinions before I start this as to whether or not you guys…

Changing Goals?
When I began using this site I had a higher set of goals than I do now because it re-evaluated my goals once I lost some weight. My calorie goals are at 1200/day now.. What do I do when I lose more weight, and I need to re-evaluate my goals again? Will I keep losing weight? And will it take longer to lose the same amount?

Sugar Goals?
So I've only had breakfast today.. And I've already hit my sugar goals.. Should they be this low? I had some cereal with milk, and now I have to avoid sugars for the rest of the day?! This seems off a little, just wondering if anyone has any insight.. My diary is public if anyone needs to take a look.

Urgh!!!!
I've been doing so horribly lately, and I'm so bummed about it. I don't know why I can't make good choices anymore.. Today I ate over 1700cals!! What the hell?! Thank god I worked, so I burned off a lot of it, but holy! Normally I struggle to make it to 1200. I don't know why I'm posting my pity party here, but if anyone…

what the eff?!!?
So I was super excited yesterday to report that I had finally hit one of my goals, and was finally under 200lbs.. This morning I go to weigh in, and .. I'VE GAINED 2 POUNDS!!! So not only is that a rediculous number to gain in one night, but that puts me back over 200lbs again.. I'm so shocked, I've been trying to take…

Another small victory!!
So I was starting to get excited yesterday, when I realized I might be under 200lbs today when I weighed in. I was!! I'm now at 199.1lbs, and I should be jumping for joy because I reached Onederland! It feels so good! That means I've lost 15.9lbs since I've started here! :) I'll probably get to post this a couple times (I…

Crazy!
When I started this on my boyfriend's iphone, I didn't really expect it to go anywhere.. I usually start eating healthy, then for whatever reason (stress, money, time) I give up. I expected to do the same this time around, but I'm amazed that I've actually lost 13lbs!! actually, 12.8 to be exact. It's not a major…

Fasting Required..
I went to the doctor's today and she told me I would need to have blood taken to see if I am diabetic, or if I have a thyroid problem. In order to get this blood work done, I will need to fast the day before until I get my blood taken so they can check my blood sugar levels. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how…

Fat Free Cheese?
I have looked in a few stores, and for some reason I CANNOT find the fat free cheese.. or low cal cheese, or anything. Is it in a different section? Will it not say fat free? Is it just a certain "flavour" of cheese? I'm so confused. Lol. I'm sure it's right in front of my face everytime I go, but I keep missing it. What…

Uh Oh..
So I'm losing motivation.. Big time. This is where I usually throw in the towel, and give up. I have no energy to do anything.. I'm still eating fairly healthy meals, but they could be better, I had half a freaking pizza last night. :( I'm only losing under half a pound a day, if I lose anything at all. I've been having…

easy workout dvds..?
I don't have a lot of space, and always feel rediculous doing workout/yoga dvds.. Are there any you guys and girls can suggest that are really motivating, and don't need a rediculous amount of space? Anything for beginners is best.. I don't want to attempt something like p90x before i've even gotten started, I know that…
