chobani or danon light and fit?
just wondering which one is healthier. chobani has more calories than danon, but less sugar. I eat plain chobani for breakfast every day, but for an after dinner snack if I'm hungry should I be reaching for the danon because of the lower amount of calories? people have told me that chobani is healthier, but I just don't…

success in college
Hey guys! So I've always been really active. I love working out and before I came to college I worked out six times a week. Once I got here, I found my motivation to dwindle immensely.

eat more to lose more?
hey guys! I have about five more pounds to lose and I've been eating a net of 1,200 calories. I've read up on the subject and some say that when you get closer to your goal weight you should eat more calories to help the last few pounds come off. I don't really understand this, but should I be eating more calories? thanks!

a look into my PERSONAL diary entry about binging

I have a personal diary that I try to write in every day and I tend to write a lot about my eating habits. this was hard for me to post, but I think it's good to bring into the MFP community in order to shed some insight on binge eating and feeling out of control, which is what I've been dealing with. I'm not…
