Congratulations! I have a gf at the moment who was actually lighter at 5 months than she was when she first became pregnant, and watching her try to eat was so painful. @salemnye I wasn't suggesting at all to have the yolk runny, but hard boiled eggs can be overboiled, which is what the grey ring around the yolk signifies.…

It's an international app, so not really. As an Australian I need to sift through the US entries, so it's an issue everyone slowly learns to deal with. Try inputting the brand as well as the type of food; I find that helps. I also find sometimes putting the countries dietary group (for the US it would be USDA) along with…

Something else I've found is having to replace my computer chair. Being a sedentary obese nerd for so long meant that after I lost 60kg, I realised how uncomfortable my computer chair actually was. Needed more cushion to make up for the cushion that I'd lost! haha, I call it getting rungry XD I find that there's a sweet…

Yum, I've seen vege ramen recipes with soy, but never almond milk before (Tip: boil your eggs for a couple of mins less; the grey ring around the yolk signals an overcooked egg ;) )

mmm, my bento-ing has certainly been lacking recently. I do make them quite a few days of the week for work, but generally I just forget to post photos >.< That and my work schedule eats into a lot of time, so I'm not on the forums as much as I was. I'm back to work in a couple of weeks, so hopefully a more regularly…

their catnip bill must be huge.

I find myself handling the hot dry Summers a lot better, but if I'm being a bit of a sloth I still find that my feet and ankles swell up (even more so if it's humid). Granted, I still have about 20kg to go, so maybe it'll change in another year. Being in a place that doesn't snow, I don't have to worry about the cold too…

Haha, it's not just short overweight people. Us tall overweight people have the same problem ;) On a related note, on the weekend I wore shorts out in public for the first time since I don't even remember when. Probably my early teens. Did they still ride up when I walked from my chubby legs? Yes, but they looked good…

The only green tea extract I need to lose weight is when my belly extracts it from a matcha latte. .... (and a caloric deficit). On a more serious note, @wanzik , saying that the OP doesn't need to provide the proof when she is refuting another's opinions is the equivalent of her starting the thread saying "I make the best…

I know think-geek has one, but it certainly isn't $4. Want it I do, but bleep bloop bleep money :'(

I've actually been getting back into Black Desert Online. I bought the game when it first came out, and it was so damn confusing. Tutorial system was horrible, ran around completing quests and didn't understand why I wasn't levelling. No beginner guides online at that time either. They've actually improved the game quite a…

As a person who has never seen a non-chocolate or sonic-based hedgehog, I totally agree. Although, in Australia, they are illegal to import as pets. We can't have hamsters either. On the upside though, we do have echidna's, although you're not allowed to keep them as pets either.

Because I've been lax in posting my bentos: Hehe, I've just noticed how symmetrical that box is XD Salted salmon, rice with matcha salt, umeboshi and veg. The meat & veg portion of the bento actually has a layer of stewed salted cabbage underneath. Nomnomnom.

Time to pimp the Bento thread. :D The thread is pretty much about boxed lunches and how to prep and store food to make it quick, ranging in ones from about 300Cal up to 550Cal each, with a side of nerdy humour.

Good on you for the exercise you're doing! I ran my first 10km charity run when I was 35kg (77lb) overweight, and was running long before it in training. I ran my first half marathon at 25kg (55lb) overweight. Providing a person trains properly and takes care of themselves, there's no reason that you can't do any exercise…

I can't say that it's happened to me, but have you been to the docs to have some bloods done for your vitamin/mineral levels? It can be a sign of iron deficiency / anaemia, as well as vitamin D deficiency, and this could be caused from drastic dieting as you put it, as it's very hard to get the nutrients your body needs…

You have to be honest with him, and emphasise that it's not you being ungrateful; if you're not, he's not going to understand. Simples. In reality, two weeks isn't a long time for the people around you to adjust to your changed way of eating, and it may take some gentle reminders for a while before your loved ones…

Civ VI. All the way ^_^ I'm enjoying it. It's like Civ V shinified, and with a lot of improvements; the barbarians are smarter, they've revamped government and culture as well as reworking the research tree, although I think they've kinda stuffed up religion a bit; with some AI's, they make it nearly impossible to get…

How my week has been (please excuse the profanity)

hehe, thou shalt spread the word of Bento?

I've had my charge HR for 18 months now. It's been through hell and back, the pattern on the band is wearing out, the screen has scratches on it, it's been in the shower and dishwater a few times, I don't want to know how much sweat has been on it, and it's in perfect working condition. I will admit though, considering the…

Half the time, I arrange my rice and meat, then just pour in the veg these days, but that's simply because I'm extremely time poor at the moment. And if you're talking about my current pic, its from the anime series "Kiss him, not me", which started airing this season. The MC's facial expressions when she's shipping or…

Aussie-ben! Kangaroo seasoned with Tasmanian bush pepper salt in a bed of brown and wild rice, steamed greens and macadamia nuts toasted in eucalyptus honey I did this for an Ilvermorny challenge earlier this week, but forgot to post it here.

HM - I don't think I could do longer. My feet are just too damaged to do any longer, and by then the runners high is long gone :D

Unless I feel like leaving a gift for the local wildlife half way through my run, I generally don't have anything solid in the mornings. I have a miso soup (helps me with salts since I sweat so much) and a berocca at least an hour beforehand, but that's it.

Still laughing....

I have a Samsung galaxy note 4 (which is bigger than the S6 I think), and it fits in my flipbelt. It's tight, but it fits. I don't know if I'd trust having something held to me by magnets though, but that's just me.

I'm pretty sure I've told you before, but I'll say it again. You're awesome!

I keep staring at this and laughing. Awesome.

Hey guys, not to be a party pooper, but can we not have this argument derail another thread please?
