apple cider vinegar...bad for you?

The shot was gross, so I found a recipe for it. Mixing a shot with a pint of water and some honey. Well I am OBSESSED with it now. I'm serious, I crave…

Loving my green smoothies for breakfast!

I am so happy because they keep me full, are usually under 200 calories which means they save me so many more calories for the rest of the day! I'm new to this whole green smoothie thing but here are some recipes…

I don't trust my scale
So I used to weight myself after I worked out at the gym. The gym had a digital scale and things were good. Then the gym got rid of that scale and replaced it with the old fashion doctors office kind. I hate those because I never think I'm reading them accurately and I like to know how much I've lost down the the ounce.…

Switching goals
I switched my goals to lose a half pound week instead of one. I heard that was better for people who are trying to lose the last 10 pounds. I now get 1680 calories. It's kinda freaking me out. That seems like a lot and I cant believe I can lose weight on that. Does anyone else have a similar number of calories? Anyone with…

Road trips
So I am driving (alone) from L.A to San Francisco after I get off work around 4:00. Normally when I do these types of drives I load up on energy drinks. Last time I actually gave myself caffeine poisoning. When I finally got home my heart was racing and my entire body was shaking so bad I couldn't walk. So I know energy…

Today I had some family visit and they wanted to go to Sprinkles, this cupcake bakery in Beverly Hills. So I ate one cupcake, one! Afterwards I had a stomachache and headache that lasted hours! It seems my body can't handle…

So I want to take my boyfriend out to this fondue restaurant for his birthday. However I don't want to completely go over my calories for the day. How can I plan my breakfast and lunch so the day isn't a total disaster food wise. I guess I'm asking what would you all eat during the day if you knew you were going to have…

Oops.
So when I joined this site I accidently hit male when I was setting up my account. I am a female. I noticed that my home page kept saying cgeiser1 is under his calorie goal for the day, but it didn't dawn on me that men need more calories than women do so I didn't bother switching it. Finally it dawned on me when I found…

So I'm confused. I read somewhere on here that you need t eat a minimum of 1200 net calories or else your essentially starving. Well my net calories for today are 350! I feel fine, not like I am starving. I've had three meals, and a few healthy snacks. I took a class at the gym and the teacher said it burned around 650…
