Guilt Free, Homemade Frappuccino!!!
Brew coffee twice as strong and chill. Then pour 1 cup of it, 1 cup of milk, and a bunch of ice to a blender. Homemade frapps!!! You can also put in flavored syrups, which tend to be high in sugar but relatively low in calories. Or a bit of chocolate sauce, or maybe fruit. I used skim milk, so the WHOLE blenderful was…

Sugar: good and bad?
I eat a lot of fruit. I'm over my sugar every day, but I never feel a "sugar crash." Is it really bad, if it's mostly fructose (the type of sugar found in fruit)?
-
Sodium
I go over sodium most of the time, but usually not by too much. I don't eat a lot of processed food, things just add up fast. Who knew there was sodium in milk??? Today's mostly came from my chili, which I made with a bunch of canned veggies and beans, because it's cheap (I'm a poor college student). So I know that a lot…

Owww..........
Everytime I go running, on the treadmill or outside, my iliotibial band starts hurting (that's the muscle that goes from the outside of your hipbone to about mid-thigh, where it connects with another muscle). Anyone have any ideas why this might happen, or what i can do to make it hurt less? it's quite a nuisance.

things I can still cook....
.....when all my roommates leave. none of the pots, pans, knives, or the blender are mine. i'll be left with a toaster, coffee maker, glass casserole/baking dish, and slow cooker. and the normal kitchen appliances (microwave, fridge, etc). i have the ingredients, just not the supplies. i'm only alone for a week before my…

Cake or pie?
On average, would a piece of fruit pie (peach, apple, strawberry, etc) or a piece of cake have more calories? I know it depends on the type, but overall, which would it be?

favorite alcoholic beverage
what do you drink when you've had a really bad day at work and just need to relax? for me, it's definitely a glass of good wine. but my favorite of all time is a lava flow--a hawaiian mixed drink. Yummy......

Thighs
I seem to be having issues with my thighs. Everything else is going great, but my thighs stubbornly refuse to change size or shape. ANy ideas? And I can't use weights, cause the weight room at my college is tiny and the little equipment they do have always has several people waiting for it.

1 goal reached already?!?!?!
When I started this, I was 140 and a size 9 in juniors jeans. I set my goal at 120 and a size 5. I'm at about 132 now, and last night I tried on a friend's jeans (size 5) just to see how close I am. THEY FIT!!!!!!! I was shocked. Absolutely stunned. The idea that I can even let myself DREAM about a size THREE is completely…

HI!!!
I finally joined two days ago after my mom has been telling about this site for I-don't-know-how-long, probably because she's sick of hearing me complain and never doing anything!! I'm 19 years old, a college sophomore, and completely SICK of looking down and seeing my stomach. I'm determined to be confident in a bikini…

Very small sucess
I feel almost embarrassed even posting about this, but I am proud of myself so I'm going to anyway. I signed up yesterday, counted my calories for the first time EVER, and realized how much I was really eating. Yikes!! Today, I was careful to stay under my 1240 calorie limit (which I realized at the END of the day changes…
