Foods	Special K Chocolate Delight	May 01 2007 16:19 (UTC)	9
I REALLY like the special k chocolate delight! When I have a chocolate craving at night I just eat a bowl of that and it goes right away. I wouldn't go so far to say its a "healthy" snack... but its better than diving into the ice cream and is quite tasty to. Kathywainman.. I may have read this wrong but were there strawberries AND chocolate in your cereal LOL... never had that one

I REALLY like vinegar on my salads... no oil... nothing. I think it is almost better than a full fat creamy dressing.

My cafeterias food also must be TERRIBLE. I stay away from most of the prepared food also and stick to things that I can control. My school has REALLY good soup so many nights I get turkey rice soup or chicken noodle and then take another bowl and make a salad by filling it with lettuce and vegetables, little or no cheese, and lite dressing. Another thing I like to make are lettuce wraps. My caf. has HUGE leafs of romaine lettuce by the "sandwich making station"... so I take 2-3 and lay them flat, then put a little turkey inside and any other vegetables from the salad bar, then sprinkle with some lite italian dressing and roll them up. Actually quite delicious. Hope that helps you out!

Yikes! Well thanks for the advice... I will definately try water workouts in the meantime. Hopefully the weight doesn't pile on... but according to most of you It shouldn't be to big of a problem. Thanks again!

Weight Loss	No food + Exercise	Mar 28 2007 01:09 (UTC)
Hey, I also am a college student pretty much in the same situation as you are. Nothing seems to work so naturally I just thought that if I ate a lot less and exercised more I would have to lose weight, HOWEVER after looking through a TON of posts I noticed that almost everyone says you have to eat to lose weight and if you do lose by not eating, shortly you will gain all of it back.That scared me because I have been uncomfortable and hungry and the last thing I wanted was to gain it all back sooo I decided to try to change. For the last couple of days I have been eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and trying not to be so hard on myself. I have been eating around 1400 calories and then 1800 calories every other day and then work out 30-45 min pretty much every day and so far have been feeling great, not deprived or hungry like I did before. I have only been doing this for a couple of days because about a week ago I was in the same mind set you are in right now. I'm pretty sure most of this information is stuff you already know but I just thought I would let you know that your not alone... and if you come up with anything that seems to be working better let me know!

Well its nice to know that there are other ppl in the same situation as me! I am planning on eating around 1500 calories and then excercising daily.... hopefully I can lose 5 pounds before summer. I know that I am not seen as "fat" to many... I just would rather be seen as the slender one... not the normal girl with big thighs and a sort of soft stomach. I think by staggering my calories tho from high to low and then excercising tho might help more and be a little more healthy. Thanks again.... keep me posted tho if either one of you see dramatic results or with whats working for you!

any suggestions?

No, I should and I plan on picking excercising back up. So you believe that if I increase my calories and work out around 3-4 times this week and stick to it that I will look ok?and on the path to being healthy?(how many calories do you suggest me eating w/o me gaining the 3 I already lost) . Maybe I don't need to be 125 pounds but I still don't want to be 143, I hate being 143.

I don't know if it helps but i realized i forgot to say that I am a female, 19 years old and used to be very active and in athletics. I used to work out most days of the week, but now I am seeing better results by just cutting my calories.
