Hey! Want some new, supportive friends!
I am 12lbs from reaching onederland and I would like some new friends to help me get there. I want friends who log everyday or at least ones that will log in and see how everyone's doing. I'm not exactly new, but I don't know much about weight loss. Would like any tips, recipes, or workouts you could suggest! Sw:238 Cw:212…

Advocare Yes or No?
I don't know much about advocare at all, but my mom jumped me yesterday asking if she could borrow $500 to start advocare. She knows I've been trying to lose weight and wants to join, but I like more of the exercise and healthy food approach rather than relying on products that aren't sure to work. Her friend has been…

Any book suggestions? Romance, comedy, realistic fiction
I'm out of good reads. I love Nicholas Sparks' books. I've read nearly all of the newer ones. (Safe Haven and The Lucky One were genius!) I also liked My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. One of my all time favorites is True Colors by Kristin Hannah. I also don't mind younger books for teens such as Sarah Dessen's books. As…

Can you lose weight if you only eat oreo cookies?
I've always heard you could eat whatever you wanted if it fit in your calorie limit, so let's say the only thing you eat is Oreos 24/7 without tiring of them. Would there be a difference in your weight loss if you ate 1500 calories of oreos vs eating 1500 healthy calories? Is it really just about the numbers or is there…

Any bakers trying to lose weight?
Before I decided I wanted to lose weight I decided I wanted to be a baker when I grew up. However I'm a little worried my profession choice will interfere with my new lifestyle choice. How do you lose weight or at least maintain when you're surrounded by baked goods? Do you skip the test-tasting and just hope it tastes…

Summer Abs challenge (7 days) Does it work? Want to try?
I found this 7 day abs challenge and was curious if anyone has accomplished it. http://skinnyms.com/7-day-ab-challenge/ I've seen results from the 30 day squat challenges and they are pretty good for just doing squats, and since this is twice as intense I figured it'd have to give some type of results. I'm going to try it.…

Rewards for hitting ONEderland?
I am 8 pounds away from hitting the 100s which I haven't been to in at least 3 years, (Maybe more.) I want to celebrate somehow, but i'm not exactly sure what I should do. I don't really want to celebrate by eating out, since it feels like i'm contradicting my progress and I don't have much money to spare at the time…

refrigerate cupcakes made with greek yogurt?
I found a recipe for low calorie cupcakes made with 1 box mix, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of greek yogurt and I was wondering if I have to refrigerate them? If not should I refrigerate them after adding the greek yogurt frosting? Also is this a bad idea for a family of lactose intolerant people?

How do I level out my weight loss?
One week i'll lose 5 pounds and the next week i'll either lose nothing or gain a pound or 2. It's happened for the last month. A little insight: I weigh 213, I have lost 25 pounds so far. I am 5'6, I should be under 150. I typically eat 1200 calories because that was what myfitnesspal set up for me, but lately I was…

building muscle at home
How can I build muscle at home with only one 16lb barbell? I need some exercises or a workout I can do, how often I should do them and such. I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but i'm new to all this.

Do genetics really keep you from getting skinny?
I've lost almost 20lbs now and was talking to my dad about it and he said that I'd never be real skinny because of my genetics. I am big-boned, broad shouldered, and as he put it "built like a brick *kitten*-house". My grandma was big and so are my 2 aunts on his side, none of which were able to lose weight. My question is…

Pictures of your success
I need some inspiration! My sister and I got in a horrible fight and as a result I'm feeling a little put off this diet thing, like it just doesn't matter. I don't want to give up, so I'm asking for your success story to cheer me up and assure me that I can do it.

Turkey Burger Recipes
I bought a pack of turkey patties and want to know how to 'spice' them up without ruining my calories. I made one tonight, just like I would a beef burger and it lacked flavor. After I put a few Tbsp of fat free miracle whip and spinach on it, it wasn't horrible, but i'd rather not have to put miracle whip on it what so…

What do you order at Subway?
I love subway! I haven't had it since I started dieting, but I was thinking of going sometime soon. My typical order is a subway melt on Italian herbs and cheese. Cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, a ton of pickles, extra mayo, salt pepper, vinegar, oil. I don't think that's very healthy though. What do you get? Is it healthy?

Midnight snack? A do or a don't?
I've always heard eating after 8 is bad especially when you are on a diet. However if you have an early supper (5-6PM) and aren't going to bed until 10-11 what should you do if you get hungry?
