Name: Megan

I'm doing the 21000 deficit challenge.

BIO:  I've been on a baaad binging streak since breaking up a toxic relationship, and it's only gotten worse with the holidays. When I was participating in National Novel Writing Month, I had no time to keep up with both writing a story and working out, so I've packed on a few pounds. Now that Halloween, Thanksgiving, and nights of obsessively pounding ideas out of my head are behind me, I think I can get back on track. This is my first deficit challenge... actually, it's my first CHALLENGE, lol. ;)

Today's deficit: xxxx

Total deficit: XXXX/21000

There's a really great Wildwood probiotic soy yogurt (plain) that I use. It comes in a tub, so you can just spoon it out as you need it and mix in anything you want. In a 1-cup serving, there's about 170 calories, 5g fat, and 11g fiber, and it's completely unsweetened.

It tastes a little weird at first, but it helps if you add your own little fixings to it. Pumpkin works great with a little cinnamon and stevia. :)

I tried this for a while... I could never keep it up, though. I get maybe four hours of sleep on a good night, and that's with me scrambling out of bed at the last second, throwing on pants and mascara and downing a Clifbar in the car. Cutting further on my sleep would be nearly impossible.

But I can't see any problem with morning workouts as long as it doesn't leave you sleep deprived.

Agreed with beaniej, Stevia really works without all the chemical garbage of other sweeteners. It's also a lot cheaper; 100 packets of Trader Joe's stevia is around six dollars, and 50 packets of Stevia in the Raw is around three or four.

Try using about 1-2 tablespoons of cream, go for fatfree if you can. If you want to use the fancy flavors of cream, use one tablespoon of the pumpkin pie or tiramisu or whatever you like, then fatfree cream over that. Add as much stevia as you want, but keep in mind it's about a thousand times sweeter than other sweeteners.

Just bought the DVD a few days ago, got cocky the first time I went through and decided to try Level 2. Lol, that didn't work so well. On Level 1 for now, and even that's pretty tiring. That should change soon! :B

Jack Daniels, a pint of soy butter pecan ice cream, and a jar of Nutella. The calories'll burn off in hell anyway, and if there is a god he won't give a damn if I broke my veganism an hour before getting the chair.

I HATE MEEEEAAAAT!

I've been vegetarian/on-and-off vegan (currently vegan) for about two years now. Just looking at beef and pork is disgusting. Same with turkey. Most of my childhood I ate some sort of boiled-skinless-chicken dish for dinner, and my dad's side of the family serves KFC at almost every family gathering, so chicken is pretty nauseating too. I can stand fish, but I don't eat it because they're dying off so fast.

And don't get me started on the mayonaisse, green curry, sparkling water, Capri Sun, Cup-O-Noodles, egg yolks, blahblahblah...

Q: A cowboy, a ninja and a pirate do battle. Which one comes out alive?

I'm 14, and found this site when my school said that it was blocking another calorie counting website I had been using for health class. I was so used to logging my foods that I just kept going with it.

Food has been my enemy for years, especially fast food. I'm now a vegetarian and trying to gain more muscle after a life of being out of shape.

POOF! Your bladder is relieved, but that doesn't save your pants.

Just for fun, I wish I had an army of zombie soldiers.
