The only reason I'm looking into a multivitamin is because my college's dietician recommended I take one at this age for reassurance. I have a very healthy diet so I guess I don't really need it. hmm... but it doesn't hurt right?

I think I'm going to start taking women's one-a-day. And i just wanted to say thanks for all of your replies.

Heyy thats been happening to me lately too! usually im hungry and i cant go back to sleep till i eat something. So i always have carrot sticks or cantaloupe ready. Pretty much just have some precut fruit available and in a spot in the fridge where its in your face so you dont go reaching for that brownie.

Haha, i just watched the video. funny stuff. ANywayyy...

I had constipation problems too.. not diarrhea but i was lucky if i paid a visit to the toilet once a week. yeah it was horrible, i felt bloated.. and heavy and just ughh.. I also eat a lot of veggies and grains. I made sure i had plenty of fiber and drank lots of water but nothing really worked.

And then i started eating my sisters activia for like 2-3 days and let me tell ya, yes it works! a little too well if youd ask me. so now i eat it like every 2-3 days.

i actually used the vanilla flavored one as a starter to make homemade yogurt using 1% milk so its a lot cheaper and lower in sugar than the actual thing.

Okay, i know how you feel right now, but trust me, a couple of weeks from now youre gonna be like, "wow, i was fretting over nothing." Dont beat yourself up about it, the past is the past.

Today, when i look back at my 1000 calorie cereal binges, and how i used to be on the verge of tears afterwards, i really feel stupid cuz one binge aint the end of the world.

so then, would buying whole wheat flour be the same as if you mixed in some wheat bran into all purpose flour?

These are all such great suggestions! Believe it or not, I attempted to try all of these ideas yesterday morning. Of course, i cut the eggos into quarters and had mini "samples" of your creations. haha.

but i'm actually kind of hesitant to eat them now since they arent the healthiest things in the world. On second thought, they are one of my childhood favorites so im gonna try to NOT let carmen get to me and enjoy them while I'm still young =D

I'm losing a lot of hair too! especially during and after i shower. handfuls, its really scary. I really think its because i lost almost 30 lbs in such a short amount of time. plus an increase from completely no exercise to running miles and miles a day.

They say hair reflects what youve done to your body 3 months ago and i think this is true because i began upping my calories about 3 months ago.

With literally no excercise.. im thinking id maintain on 1600 at 118 lbs

I'm a 5'6", 118 lb., 18 year old female taking in, on average, 1800 calories to maintain.

I really dont really do any strenuous excercise. Typically jog about 1.5 miles on the treadmill, 20 min. on the elliptical followed by a couple reps of sit ups and some stretching three times a week. I do try to keep myself from being sedentary by constantly doing something like going out with my friends or cleaning up the house. In other words i pretty much make sure im not stting on my butt all day watching TV.

hope that helps!

Oh, and i was losing about a pound a week on 1400 calories along woth 2 mile jogs 5 times a week.

Whenever i get these binge strikes, i try to get myself busy.

I finally realized that i only get these temptations to binge when im at home, idle.. and alone.

so try to call up a friend and go to the mall or something. Just get out of the house.

i have the same question.. does anyone know!?!

Heyy Im 18, freshman in college and turning 19 in September.

5'6", 116 lbs, and trying to maintain. Any of you guys maintaining also??

Haha, so true.

at first, i wanted to weigh 130 lbs, and then it went to 125, then 120 and now i want it to be 115.. but i shouldnt.

Oh what would i do without the CC community. Each and everyone of you guys are super helpful. 

fruit and veggies throughout the day.

get my moneys worth by eating the sashimi rather than wasting good stomach space on plain old rice.

plan out what i eat. ThanKs Guys!

Update: The dining services lady replied and feels that we should meet for a nutritional consultation.

I dont know guys.. should i do it?? I'm wayy too embarrassed.
