I swear sometimes eating above actually helps you to lose, if not done in habit form. ie. I have been eating very well, but yesterday ate at least 1k over of cookies. I lost 1.5lbs this morning. Assuming not water weight because I didn't even go to the bathroom yet. Same has happened in the past. I wouldn't worry unless you did a severe binge, and ingested something like 3-5k over. And like above, you could even it out with an extra 100 deficit over 6 days. |

At my work people bring and make crap all the time. Every morning donuts, pies, pastries, bagels, brownies, etc. I get away with not having anything because I told them I had my gallbladder removed (true) and my body can't handle that junk. And not to be rude, but the workers I see that do eat that stuff are well over 30+ overweight except only the high school boys we have employed.
So no one bothers me anymore. If you don't make it clear right away, people will offer you things in the future again and again. |

I'm 5'4 and didn't lose my period until getting around 102 pounds. I wonder if it is just stress from school? But you should at least eat around 1400. |

| Weight Loss | which calories do I count, if I threw up? | Mar 17 2013 21:03 (UTC) |

Almost an hour? Just log all those calories then. You probably only expelled the stomach acid and the roughage of food only, your body already absorbed the calories, nutrients and etc. |

I have about $110 a month for food and I can give a run down of what I always end up buying to stock up: Apples in bags. (they fill me up and are great as snack, with meals, and last the whole month in the fridge) Peanut butter, Polaner fruit spread, wraps, multi grain bread). (I buy the natural Krema but if I'm short, I get the Skippy natural because 80% of time they have the buy 2 get $1 off coupons. Polaner has fiber, and put with bread/wraps for PB&J) lso I bulk buy the wraps and bread and freeze. they taste great when defrosted Slice cheese for toasted cheese with above breads) Greek yogurt buy when there is the 10for$10 or big tubs on sale. Chobani has 30cent coupon to abuse on website Frozen fruits and veggies Big bag salads, carrots, cucumber, fat free dressings Oats Chicken breasts, tuna, beans, nuts My biggest tip is to learn to watch for sales and use coupons. Know store policy for price matching with ads. Know which stores carry your staples cheapest. ie. use to buy my wraps at Giant Eagle for $4 each. Can get at discount store for 2 for $3!

I don't care for them unless in a mint blizzard from Dairy Queen. BUT they smell very good. I just love that artificial sweet scent. But yeh, they taste like crap and get stale super easy. |

| Foods | do I eat too much fruit? | Feb 21 2013 19:40 (UTC) |

I guess it's an individual thing because I eat a lot of fruit everyday: bananas, melon, apples (lots! like 3 a day), frozen fruits, etc, and my waistline and everything are fine. But I also get my protein and fat from other foods like yogurt and peanut butter and chicken. Also eat lots of raw veggies. |

Cereal won't make you fat if you fit it in, but really, cereal sucks. Most are too processed, too much sugar, and don't leave you feeling full unless you eat like 2-3 servings of it. I was a cereal addict, but now could care less about it. Oh. Ans I did use to eat that Honey Bunches of Oats, and it really had no oats haha and gets all soggy in your milk and I'd have to eat like a huuugeeee bowl of it. |

Always get dressing on the side. I do that too for any syrups, etc as well. Everyone seems to drench stuff. |

You need to get over your jealousy. It is understandable, but in life, there will always be people that seem to get it easy and have things you want to have or seem to advance with little effort. Believe me, I see it so much at work it is sickening while you work your butt off. I say this because jealousy will make you a miserable, miserable person and eat away at you. Anyway, this is worse because this is your friend and honestly she is doing nothing wrong but living her life as it happens to be. If your friend ONLY wants to do things with you if you HAVE to spend craploads of money, then you need to sit down and find different things you like to do that are cheaper. Maybe your friendship is artificial and you have no common interests? There's so much to do, especially on college campus, for low costs! Many many things!!! Read the papers and see all the adverts for theater, cheap concerts, etc. Or if your friend is inviting you out, she can pay for you. I did that for my friends when I wanted to hang out and they had no money. Sometimes spent over $200. Was never an issue for us because I WANTED to be with them and for all of us to have fun and enjoy things. You can also make cheaper substitutions. Can't afford the movies? Use Redbox or the library to get them and watch them at home. Can't afford to eat out? Buy ingredients and hang out at home and cook an awesome meal. Can't afford clothes? Go window shopping or go to funky stores where you can just try things on and mess around and have fun.

I can't waste food like that. Even if it IS candy. When I get candy like that, I do the bowl thing at work for others or even donate it. We have a free cafe here run by the church and they put the candy out for kids. Also, the library takes candy donations because they give away one or two pieces of candy if a child reads a book and writes a report on it. I won't waste other foods either. If I can't finish a plate or can't finish at a restaurant, I save the food and give to stray animals. We have so many starving animals here that even try to eat pinecones :/ |

| Foods | pasta | Feb 14 2013 02:49 (UTC) |

I use to be so in love with pasta..all those ramen, alfredo, Olive Garden pasta, lasagna, macaroni... But stopped eating it because an actual serving of pasta alone, without sauce, just has too many calories and doesn't fill me up. I only eat it now whole grain in tuna casserole I make. I suggest just keeping pasta as a side dish with your meal instead of it being the focus of it. |

My breakfast which keeps me very full from 8:30 until 1-2PM 1 large egg and 1 large egg white scrambled 1 whole grain bread slice with 1 tbsp cream cheese medium banana with 1 tbsp natural peanut butter. I think it's around 420-450 calories. I like having a big breakfast, medium lunch, and tiny dinner since I don't eat after 5PM because of work schedule. |

Just picked up a pot at Target for $20. so excited! First will make chicken breasts for salad and next will be to try and make some steel cut oatmeal. I got a 4.5 and it's not the oval shape. Hopefully that's okay like the chicken breasts can be on top of one another and not all lay flat. The oval just seemed w a y too big for just 1 person. |

| Weight Loss | I am 5 foot 4 and vary between 138 and 145...is this considered FAT? | Feb 10 2013 17:54 (UTC) |

Like I said, it's just a societal condition and everyone carries weight differently. Like even at work, we have a new worker and she was talking with my boss about buying jeans (they are both at least 5'6) and the new worker was saying how she had trouble getting 9's and my boss pretty much was like '9? So is your resolution to lose weight then' You should join our yoga class on weekends?' Like basically saying wow size 9 you might wanna lose some pounds :/ |

I'm 5'4 and when I weighed 135-140, I got called fat even though I had nice hourglass shape. (My pant size was about an 7/8) Like if I were shopping and some kids bumped into me they'd be like, "Watch it fatty" etc. And my doctor kept pushing me to lose 15 pounds because I was 'too heavy for my height'. Of course everyone carries weight differently, so it depends, and I go by pant size and say anything over a size 5 is getting chunky. I have just been conditioned this way. |

| Weight Loss | Oh No! - Calorie counts on food labels could be inaccurate by up to 50per cent as they rely on 100-year-old calculation method | Feb 05 2013 03:29 (UTC) |

Pretty much why I try to eat as much non-box/package food as possible like fruits, veggies, lean meats, etc so I know the calories better. I think still a lot of labels are pretty accurate since calories counting has helped me lsoe and maintain. If everything was off by like 50%, I'd by way over limit. |

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
