  • I miss eggs :disappointed: Being allergic has completely ruined breakfast for me.
  • Sometimes if the avocado isn't ripe enough, I throw a tiny bit of greek yogurt in to add creaminess.
  • I had a similar question and the abstract "meat" answers weren't very helpful for me. I needed concrete ways. This is what my boyfriend and I did together. 1) We bought unflavored protein powder (I know you said besides protein powder) and add it to a lot of our recipes. He loves waffles so we put it in there, in my gluten…
  • Sweating your butt off is great! But weight loss is 75-80% diet (not an exact number but you get my drift). Although you go to the gym for 1.5 hours, what/how much are you eating? Also, the flab could be muscle growth that is leaving excess skin. I haven't noticed any weight loss for a while but I can tell I am stronger.…
  • Just under 6'... Most of my life weighed around 150-160 as a competitive volleyball player. During a rough time in 2014 I got up to 208 :disappointed: Currently down to 186 but my goal is 150 again!
  • OP, I am in the same boat. I tried to go through this whole thread but ended up getting frustrated by many of these posters who think they know everything or because something worked for them it will work for everyone. I log around 1350 cals a day (yes sometimes I am under or over), have my macros manually set at…
  • I'm not losing weight either and I'm SUPER frustrated. I was losing weight and its just stopped. I put all my stats into MFP, am lightly active wanting to lose 2 lbs per week, and it says I should eat 1350 calories per day. I did change the macro percentages based on my workout regimen. I usually eat 40c/35p/25f. I try to…
  • I'm almost 6 feet tall and weigh 185 pounds currently. I wear a size 10 in pants and medium (usually) on top. I have a B cup so nothing huge on top but I have been blessed with a booty. I am almost all legs, with a 35.5" inseam, so I have to buy most of my dresses in a large for length and get them taken in (because I…
  • Even when you go before your run it sometimes still sneaks up on you! Just because you go once doesn't mean you've emptied out your entire digestive system haha. I've learned this throughout my new running journey. Haven't had to go in some plants yet (always been able to hold it or find a bathroom) but I did live in the…

  • I think he's in the sleeve of a sweater. When he moves the shirt on the back of the chair moves too. My cat loves to do this, but he curls up in the hood of my sweatshirts! Also, I don't have a second cat that tries to "play" when he is defenseless haha
  • 100 miles! Gotta start that marathon training :sweat_smile:
  • I started very slow in October (1 mile and it took me over 13 minutes). Now I'm running 5K's at a 8:55 min/mile pace :smiley: Just in my opinion... I still don't love it! I get so bored. I have music, run where there are more people, and try to find running buddies but it still isn't my favorite thing. I love how I feel…
  • I want to try C4, any flavor recommendations? I've heard the mojito is a no go...
  • I would like to join. Thank you.
  • I want to take pole dancing classes but I'm not sure how to just... start? Theres a place near my house that has great reviews and I can try drop in classes first but I'm still so nervous :sweat_smile:
  • I ran my first half marathon :smiley: Literally ran the entire 13.1 miles at a 12:08 pace. My next race I'm aiming to cut that pace by 1:00/mile!

  • What You Know - Two Door Cinema Club :love:
  • I see beautiful things like bald eagles, bunnies, coyotes, on the trail by my house (which is cool because I live in the Northern part of a very large city), but I have also seen some gross/creepy thing. People passed out (maybe napping, I don't stop to ask), condom wrappers (safety first!), lots of empty beer cans and…
  • Why is this flagged?! Its one word and a natural human action... how does that person think they got here? The stork?!
  • My issue isn't the balance between a social life (aka drinks and "cheat meals") and goals but instead actually having a social life (aka events, seeing friends, movies/concerts/etc). I like to go to the gym 5-6 days a week like most people have stated but then my social life is the one that messes things up. For example,…
  • Yes but I suffered from bulimia for a very long time and know I do not have a healthy relationship with food. Shortly after joining MFP I would binge on cookies in the office at lunch, sending me over my carb allotment by maybe just a few, and then feel horrible and eat close to nothing for the next three days. Food for me…
  • This is awesome :lol:
  • Monday - Chest/Triceps, 3 mile run Tuesday - Back/Biceps, 3 mile run at race pace Wednesday - Legs/Calves Thursday - Shoulders/Abs, 4 mile run Friday - Rest Saturday - Long run for marathon training (increases by 1 mile each week) Sunday - Yoga, Swimming, Hiking, etc.
  • Side note but I sometimes use my protein and put PB2 in it (a powdered peanut butter) with a little bit of coffee grounds! I am a coffee lover... like obsessed, drink it every day, Seattle-coffee-snob status... and the peanut butter shake with the coffee kick and taste to it is amazing!
  • Ohhh I love leg day :smiley: Theses former volleyball legs of mine are built for it! My upperbody on the other hand is a complete struggle bus. My most difficult work out has to be (and always has been) any form of bench press. Its so frustrating because I enjoy it but it is a challenge every time.
  • I almost said the same thing in my post haha. That is one of the main reasons I DON'T drink coffee anywhere near 2-3 hours before running...

  • I tend to be a fasting runner. I found that I can't eat anywhere between 2-3 hours before a long-ish (anything over 3 miles) run. I love running in the morning but for me its all mental. I hate mornings. My bed is so comfy and warm and I just want to stay curled up for as long as possible. Once I'm out and on the road I…
