I eat chickpeas all the time too but I haven't had it affect my IBS symptoms. But I have the diarrhea form.

I have Meniere's but I have been relatively symptom-free: I have chronic tinnitus but have not had a vertigo attack since roughly 2008. It might be worth experimenting a little bit with upping sodium content for long runs, particularly if your build up is during the summer and you live in a hot area (I used to live on the…

A few Rainier cherries I ate with lunch. So good! And hard to find where I live.

(I work nights) Breakfast: 2 strips bacon, 2 biscuits, medium coffee Lunch: Chicken w/ soy sauce/garlic/honey glaze, rice, carrots, broccoli Dinner: ? Probably cold cereal before bed.

I love roasting them in the oven with salt/pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. I like mine spicy. I eat it with homemade tzatziki (greek yogurt, dill, a bit of sour cream, shredded cucumber).

Steak with garlic/salt/pepper/onion, broccoli (blanched) and rice. I rarely eat steak and it was good!

I work nights too. I changed my food log from "breakfast, lunch, dinner" to time (1p to 5pm, 6pm to 12mid etc) and that works better for me.

I really let myself go after college and during a disastrous grad school experience. I want to get back in shape for myself and I'll be as selfish as I need to be. It's about taking my life back.

I missed the start of this thread but figured I'd update anyway. Height: 5'8" SW: 210 CW: 207 GW: 160 My goals for May were to 1-get to the gym more often and 2-reduce snacking at home on my off days. I've been pretty good about getting to the gym more often. It's definitely easier now that the weather is nice! I've…

Congratulations!! My goal is to get under 200. I can't wait for that moment, I'm at the heaviest I've ever been. Your dedication is paying off!

Luizianne tea, nothing says summer without it.

I used to run an hour a day in HS but that was over 10 years ago. I just finished grad school and looking to start running again. I signed up for a half at the end of September, just looking to complete it! I've done two others, when I was in much better shape, so just looking to take it slow and steady and not get injured!

I have the opposite problem: I crave lots of carbs.

I work 12s so my go to is pita pocket + roasted chickpeas + romaine lettuce. Tomatoes if I can get some good ones.

Chickpeas. I don't like eating meat (but I'm not strictly vegetarian) so chickpeas are a stable. Gotta love roasted chickpeas.

I'll do it too. May start wt: 210 May Goal wt:206 May 1: 210 May 8: May 15: May 22: May 29:

Now that the weather is nicer, I want to spend more time outside. I work nights but now that the days are longer it should help. The vit. D will definitely help.

Going to the gym after I get off my night shift. Just sit on the bike 20 mins (for days I return to work that night) and then on my final overnight, do some light lifting. Then after I sleep go for a jog. I've been slacking lately but I started going to the gym after work and I feel pretty good. It's nice to drive home in…

What about having some veggies prepped and ready to snack on when you get home? Chop up some celery, carrots, cucumbers etc and have them ready to go. My go-to snack is popcorn personally, but not the overly buttery kind (and not the microwaveable kind); and usually only on my day off. I know some people frown on this…

If you have a public library card, you can often get audiobooks using the libby app.

I have an entire cupboard of spices in my kitchen but I generally start with salt, pepper and garlic and build from there.

I second the oats, it's really good! I like to do cinnamon/sugar + apple because it tastes like apple pie :)

I worked this weekends (nights, 12 hr shifts) so I roasted some chickpeas and make tzatziki sauce for pita pockets for the weekend. And chopped veggies and some popcorn for snacks.

A small snow shovel (midwest, yay!), some potting soil I haven't gotten around to taking out of the trunk, jug of cat litter, and a towel.

I bought some cheapo Skull Candy ones from a discount store like TJ Maxx. The band is slightly small, but they work for what I need. They were ~$20. I don't expect them to last too long, but I only use them at the gym and while I'm putting in time on the microscope at work. I'll probably shell out a little more money for…

Breakfast: didn't eat but had coffee with non-dairy creamer. Lunch: Roast beef and provolone sandwich Dinner: Spaghetti Feeling nauseated all day, took a nap instead of going to the gym. The last few weeks have been really stressful and I think it's catching up with me now.

I know my recommended weight is ~150 but at my lowest in high school I was 158-160 lbs and honestly that was just perfect, looks wise. BMI was in the normal range but higher end of that range. I honestly didn't like what I looked like when I went under 160 lbs, so that is what I'm shooting for now to get back to. (Hell I'd…

I'm just finding this but I'm in! I can use all the motivation I can get! Starting weight: 200 lbs Current weight: 200 lbs. Goal weight: 180 lbs. Ultimate goal weight: 160 lbs.
