@Susieq_1994 Your rings are gorgeous!
I don't really wear much jewelry. I have a pair of small white gold earrings my parents gave me when I was about 15 that I just leave in all the time. And I have a nose stud that also just stays in all the time. I do LOVE watches though, and have two that I alternate between (except for when I'm using my fitbit).
I love the idea of jewelry and bought a bunch of necklaces when my friend was selling Stella & Dot stuff, but then I forget to put them on. I also love bracelets & rings on other people, but can't stand them on myself. They spin and get in the way and drive me crazy. It's a good thing I'm not engaged or married, because I'm not sure I could keep a ring on for longer than a couple hours!
It took me months to stop taking off my engagement ring all the time. I'm used to it now but it drove me bonkers for a while.
FitBit questions for all of you users: I used to have the One (the clip-on, not the bracelet, until I put it through the washing machine) and I'm thinking about buying another and considering the bracelet this time to reduce the likelihood of another run-in with the machine, but I'm worried about it on my wrist working at the computer etc, both for comfort reasons and wondering if it'll track extra steps. Any opinions on that?
I HATE wearing watches and bracelets when using a computer, but the fitbit has not bothered me at all. I have the Flex. It will track steps for some movements but not generally for typing, it has to be a more dramatic movement than that. Smooth, non abrupt movements do not track. I wear mine non stop. I even wore it in the pool one day and it survived (not sure if it is supposed to be "that" waterproof or not. My Fitbit is the only "jewelry" I wear on most days. (mainly because my wedding ring is too big - it will just fall off, and they want a lot of money to resize it so I am waiting to get to my goal weight)
My watch doesn't bother me at all, but I can't wear a bracelet to work.
Fitbit may not technically be waterproof, but mine has certainly gone a couple of rounds in the washing machine and lived.

By the way, I made them with the tweaked recipe and STILL ended up with way too much filling. Oops. Not enough tweaking!
Do you think a springform pan might work better since it has deep sides??? Just a suggestion.
Yes, it would, actually, if you were looking to make a deeper pie. But I don't own one. I also think the extremely thick layer of pie filling in a deep dish pie pan or springform pan might make you sick after a few bites, so much smaller slices would be required. And you'd also need more Oreos to line the sides.
More oreos would never be a problem!! 0 -
Can someone tell me what ''staining your face'' is? I'm confused. I looked it up and I got a bunch of people applying turmeric to their faces.
I feel kinda dumb. 0 -

I only drink water. No sodas in well over a year and no Starbucks in almost a year (one year on the 28th!). I don't have diabetes but I don't drink juice because of the sugar level. 0 -

Hmm. Mine went through the dryer both times. I didn't realize it until I went to put the laundry away... Lucky, I guess. I don't plan to find out if the third time will be the charm.0 -

That is very extreme, though - 270 calories is less than three tablespoons of peanut butter, a medium-sized steak, or even a couple glasses of full-fat milk or certain protein bars (just one.) And it is definitely a pretty serious issue if you're only eating the equivalent of one of those in an entire day. That doesn't sound like a natural decrease in appetite, it sounds like a serious medical issue to me.0 -

Probably for the best, lol. The Ones don't have as much protecting them as the rubbery bracelets though, and I also blast my dryer on high heat for most things.0 -

^^I agree with @peleroja . I would recommend seeing a doctor to try to find out what's going on. I understand your stomach can shrink when you lose weight, but you should be able to eat 270 calories a few times per day.0 -

You are correct!! No idea why I misread that as ''face.'' I was wondering what in the world was going on... some new crazy fad?

If it is not too personal, may I ask what path you took to lose the 80lbs? It is concerning that your intake is so low. Are you maintaining your weight on what you have been taking ing?0 -

I'm gonna hopefully see a doctor either tomorrow or Friday because I know eating this little is not healthy. I was eating around 700-800 when I was losing weight (reached my goal weight in January). I think a big reason is I'm scared of eating too much and gaining all of the weight back that I lost. There have been only about 7-10 days in the last 6 months (not in a row) where I have eaten plenty of calories.0 -

I lost weight the right way. No fad diets, pills, etc. because those are just scams and don't work long term (however I did watch my carb intake). No fast food or Starbucks (those aren't even 'food' and have way too many unnecessary calories and ingredients). Just real, whole, unprocessed foods. Three meals a day. Even when I was losing weight I never got hungry but forced myself to eat my 3 meals. I've been maintaining my weight since mid-January.

Seeing the doctor is the right thing to do. Were you eating 700-800 calories under a doctor's supervision? 700-800 sounds way too little to me. Treat yourself well, get some help and try to work your way up calories wise.saraherren wrote: »FluffySandwich wrote: »

I hope your appetite gets back up to par! 0 -

700-800 calories per day is not a safe or sustainable way to lose weight. This is eating disorder territory. Please talk to somebody about this.

I woke up last night at 2 am and ate a king size nutrageous. I logged it, but ended up 1,000 calories over yesterday. *kitten* happens and today is a new day. I also used to wear spanx tanx with everthing. My boobs are very happy that I've lost enough weight to feel comfy not wearing them. It's awesome!0

Will my stupid body WAKE UP? Argh. I keep dozing off... all it takes sometimes if for me to blink my eyes and my body goes ''Oh goody, time to sleep?'' I need to start taking my B12 again.
In school, starting around 6th grade, I had trouble with falling asleep in class. I didn't want to and struggled like mad to stay awake. It was embarrassing waking up (sometimes with a jolt) and having people stare at me, especially since I am a sleep talker and wondered if I had said something aloud . Some people try to fall asleep in class and don't care, but I was trying to be a good student 
EDIT: Come to think of it, I don't think I've beeen eating much iron lately.0 -

Oh, man, B-complex is such a big help for me. I take the sublingual drops and it is seriously such a game-changer. I don't eat a ton of meat so my doctor recommended it a while back after some bloodwork and I feel like I can pretty much bounce out of bed when I'm taking it regularly.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I don't think I've beeen eating much iron lately.
Oh, man, B-complex is such a big help for me. I take the sublingual drops and it is seriously such a game-changer. I don't eat a ton of meat so my doctor recommended it a while back after some bloodwork and I feel like I can pretty much bounce out of bed when I'm taking it regularly. I don't eat a lot of meat either.
B12 is one of those vitamins that's very, very difficult to get from non-animal sources, so vegetarians etc. have a tough time with it. I'm not a vegetarian but I just don't tend to choose meat too often so I've had a problem with it. I take iron as prescribed by my doctor too because I also had anemia in my teens (very common for girls, apparently), but taking both is way better for me. You really should talk to your doctor before starting or restarting supplements though...I know it seems overcautious but you can really do some major damage just taking whatever you think you need. Honestly.

I had a blood test a few years back and my doctor recommend I take B12 and vitamin D. I do a pretty horrible job at keeping up with taking pills though, except birth control for some reason. I'm going to be getting a medical exam soon in the near future, so I'll likely be bringing it up... perhaps I no longer need the stuff and shoud try something else. I'm not vegetarian either, but I never really CRAVE meat. I tend to stick to all the other food groupsFluffySandwich wrote: »

In school, starting around 6th grade, I had trouble with falling asleep in class. I didn't want to and struggled like mad to stay awake. It was embarrassing waking up (sometimes with a jolt) and having people stare at me, especially since I am a sleep talker and wondered if I had said something aloud . Some people try to fall asleep in class and don't care, but I was trying to be a good student

Sounds like you might be anemic, you should probably get a blood test done. So that's probably part of it.
