Eco-Friendly Bags. Where to get them?
Hey! This is totally off topic lol. I have a few questions. You know those bags that are made of mesh material, possibly?

Vent Page
So, I don't know about you guys, but people just get on my nerves sometimes. Lately, it's just been building up inside me and I know it's not healthy. So I thought it would be a good idea to create a 'vent page' where we can all vent our feelings. Any kind of feelings, I guess. It doesn't just have to be about weight. My…

Chicken Chow Mein
Hey, everyone! I tried this recipe out for the first time today and it was amazing. I got it from Healthy Cooking. If you're a fan of Asian food (which I think this is. It could be Chinese. Correct me if I'm wrong, please), then I think you'll like this. It only makes 2 servings, but I doubled it so it'd make 4. I'll post…

Different Flavors In Water
Has anyone else noticed that water has different tastes? I'm not talking about flavored water, I'm talking about plain water lol. Usually I drink GV Drinking Water from Wal-Mart, and at the moment I'm drinking tap water until I can get more. There is such a difference, and I'm not liking it much.

One of my friends on here suggested that I should post my exercise schedule. I also think it's a good idea, because then maybe everyone can get and suggest more ideas. Feel free to put your workout or food schedules for the week! It helps me to finish something when I have it written down. And I've tried to post a chart…

Need help making a meal plan
I really think that me having a meal plan would be very helpful. I've never made one before, so that's why I'm requesting help. I'd like to make one for a full week, but I have no idea where to start. If you have any suggestions on food or would like to help, please let me know. Thank you so much! :flowerforyou:

I feel like I'm failing :(
These past two weeks have been really hard. Some days are decent, more often than not, the days aren't decent. It's hard to eat right when the right foods aren't around, since other people insist on getting the junk, and it's around... The sodium intake is driving me crazy. Veggies and fruits are awesome, but how am I…

Help picking out a blender
I might get a blender sometime this month because a fruit smoothie and such just really sounds good. Drinkable fruit. Awesome, right? It needs to be cheap but durable. I've only found one so far, from Walmart. Any suggestions, comments? Thanks in advance! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/allReviews.do?product_id=5924588 ^…

How did you come up with username?
I've seen quite a few different user names around here. I really like the ones lately that are more 'inspirational'. Like each time they log in and type their user name, they're reminded of their goal. It's really cool. Mine was really random. I just came up with it out of nowhere when I started here like two years ago. I…

How many calories works for you?
Ever since I started back (December) I've had mine set on 1200 and I would always go over, sometimes nearly 2000. I'd only lost 2 pounds since starting. Ever since February 1, I upped my calories to 1310. Granted, that's only 110 calories, but it seems to be helping a lot. I have tried to stay in the calorie range, and…

What do you listen to while working out?
I've always listened to my mp3 player. Has anyone ever tried podcasts or even Audio Books? I've a good mind to try the audio books, but I'd like some feedback. It seems like I'd be able to walk for a lot longer if I was so immersed in an awesome book.
