Oatmeal
I am newly addicted to oatmeal. Okay, I'll admit, this isn't new by any means... but before it had sugar dinosaurs in it! Recently I made it to college (Woo!) Okay, so snacks! What the heck, fitting in 3-4 snacks a day to stay on top of my meal plan?? That's a chore! Oatmeal has become my superhero, particularly in this…

1200 Diet - Doing it Right?
So I know the 1200 calorie plan gets a lot of flack, but I've lost 40lbs so far. I think the only reason I've been able to do this so successfully is that I also use a Fitbit tracker. My problem is on the days I don't do much, do I eat 1200? Because my fitbit will say that for me to have that deficit of 1000 calories, I…

10 Weeks Away From Home - Scale?!
Currently I weigh myself 1 time a week, and am considering switching to every morning that it's comfortable (entirely for more data points, not obsessing; I'm an extremely scientific person). I'm applying for a summer job that I'm hoping I'll get so much that I'm already trying to figure how to work calories. The bad news:…

Scared of Weights
It sounds so silly I know, but I am seriously avoiding weights. I've seen LOADS of posts that weight loss started when people 'picked up some weights' but I don't know where to start.
