Hey all. 5'4 117 21 year old woman, fat percentage around 24.4. I was running back and forth in a field for two hours today, and ate around 1100 calories.

If I have a bad overeating day, I may fast the next day, or I may eat normally, or maybe exercise to try and make up for the calories. I think all of these options are fine, but what is your response?

all this talk about "hiding" veggies...

too exausted from work and commute to work out more.
I walk and/or bike around 4-10 miles a day, and do a bit of lifting and strenuous activity at my job. I am usually physically exhausted by the end of the day, though I can always get myself to bike more. However, I have barely touched my weights. I know I should do an hour or so of an exercise video, or just getting down…

20 pounds of fat gone. 5-10 more to go.
I'm a 5'4 female, and was at 145 last winter. I was overeating, depressed, in an unhealthy relationship, ect. The weight slowly piled on.

2 scales are saying i've lost more than 5 pounds in 12 days-

"but you look fine!" "don't get too crazy!" "remember to eat
No, you guys. See these veggies? See this full fat yogurt? I am not on a fad diet. I am not restricting my calories. I am *counting* them. I am *making note* of what the heck I am putting in my body. I am getting a healthy amount of exercise every day and keeping track of how much that is. Why is that so unsettling?

Going over sugar-do you do it a lot? Can it be helped?
The reason I ask is that I felt like a jerk today. I was visiting my mom and she made a smoothie for the fam, with one vanilla yogurt cup, some strawberries,ice, and a jamba juice smoothie mix. I'm aiming for 30 grams or under a day of sugar, and the smoothie would have put me over that all by itself. My mom said, "but…
