My first tiny NSV!
Today was my orientation at school so I decided to dress up a little because I was seeing a lot of friends I haven't seen all summer. I was bored from all of my clothes so I decided to take a little peek at my sister's closet and I picked the perfect tank top. It was adorable and was also a size small. And guess what?! It…

Quinoa, anyone?
So I've been hearing and reading a lot lately about Quinoa and how it's being used as a substitute for rice, pasta etc... I've done some research and it seems to be lower in carbs than white rice but it's much higher in fat content. It's also higher in Protein and has a higher "fullness factor" Has anyone here been using…

Another exercise calories question
Hey! So, I know that this question is asked at least once a week..but everytime I find a post about it the replies are usually mixed so I never know what is actually right to do.

THE BEST SMOOTHIE I HAVE EVER TASTED!
Okay maybe not the BEST of all, but definitely the best I have ever made!

I ordered the Stuffed Spinach Bread (I know, not the healthiest choice...) but I thought it would be better than getting pasta or something else because it had spinach and was cooked in a reasonable portion. The problem is I don't know how many calories I…

CALORIE INTAKES ARE DRIVING ME NUTS!
Hi! I am 5'6 and weigh around 146 lbs. According to MFP, if I were to go with losing the recommended 1lb/week I would have to eat 1320 calories a day. This is after I changed my goal from being 1.5lb/week to 1lb/week because I wanted to be more realistic about the goals I set for myself. My daily calorie deficit would be…

Less calories and no exercise?
Hi! I read somewhere that in order to lose 1 pound a week, you would have to cut out 500 calories from your ideal daily calorie intake (based on height and weight) The article recommends that you cut out 250 calories, and burn the other 250. I was just wondering if you cut out the entire 500, and did not do much…

Lean Cuisine and Fit and Active?
Hey Guys :smile: My school starts soon, and I'm worried about what will become of my eating habits. I am planning to eat the same amount of calories I do now, but during school days, I tend to eat what is available in our school (and believe me it is NEVER healthy food!) I was wondering if any of you would recommend…
