This site is perfect for what you're looking for: https://theproteinchef.co/ I've made tons of The Protein Chef's recipes and they are all very tasty! My favorites are his desserts. :)

1) Insincere people 2) People being unhygienic in public where it affects others - Example: I went to a Vietnamese sandwich place to catch up with a friend. After we ordered we sat down at a table and, somewhere in the middle of our conversation, he started clipping his nails! On the table... with no regard that he was…

I confess I jogged 5.5 miles today. I just wanted to share my accomplishment and not create a new threat for that. :D

I took the Myers-Briggs Personality test and I'm the rarest one (INFJ). Which is ironic because my personality is a bit elitist when choosing friendships - I try to find people very similar to me (but I don't mean to! or do I? Idk, lol). Another ironic element is that I am an extroverted introvert. Also, I like Asian…

Some people get very bad pain or even if they don't aren't up for working out. I know I get the temptations to skip a workout because I feel gross. But you didn't double guess your workout, so I thought that was awesome. :p

Awww that sucks!! :s I can relate to locking yourself in your room and watching TV. Except I watch Asian Dramas lol. Hope it gets less painful for you!!

CHOCOLATE......!? CHOCOLATE!

Your breakfast sounded delicious! :D And that's awesome you still keep doing your training on monthly cycle days! (and Yum on the ice cream!)

Haha. Cops: Ladies, stop there! Why would you just poke innocent people's eyes!? Women: *turn around to face him with flaming, angry period eyes* Cops: Nvm... *backs away slowly and drives away 100mph*

Doesn't derail you even with increased cravings!? You go girl! Haha, now I am inspired to resist the temptations! (Especially right now as I am experiencing womanly cyle, lol).

Super super nice!? I wish I was like that and not grumpy haha! Chest ache? Ouch! That's the first time I hear that one. Sounds painful..

Mmmm ice cream.... *drools*

<3 I love all your responses!!! <3 You ladies are hilarious... and inspiring!! And for those with painful/unpleasant times of the month... Sorry to hear that!! :s

I confess I feel hungry right now but am not going to cheat. Yes, I am properly counting calories and not under eating. :p

Hahaha yeah imagine if women around the world had the same week to be *kitten* :D B) WAHAHHA

Nice!

Haha!! Sometimes we just need to unleash our fury. :D :D

I constantly feel frustrated after getting on the scale! This week I decided no more and to count my calories as I used to. Right now I am at 176 and I'm far from feeling comfortable in my body. My goal weight is 145, so 30 lbs to lose. I'm on my first week of strict calorie counting but am counting on keeping it up!

I feel the same way! Going to add you (=

First off, I am feeling the same!! Second, congrats on starting your journey ! These past few months especially I have been frustrated with my weight (I am 178lbs currently, goal of 145lbs). I decided to go on forums on MFP and other weight loss support sites to listen to others' stories and also empathize with people who…

I overeat because I rarely feel full/satisfied (due to a hormone imbalance) and I will overeat when I do not pay attention to the calories. I also tend to tire easily and seek energy in food. I grew up as an obese child and dropped weight gradually in high school. I've fluctuated 20-30 pounds up and down the past few years…

You too? Thank you for sharing; I feel motivated knowing someone else going through this problem got passed it ^_^ Congrats on setting yourself up for success! (((=

Yes, that is how I feel about it; eat now because no more of this for rest of week. Like you say, keeping good variety would be helpful; I tend to (wrongly) think of certain foods as enemies or magically-make-you-pack-the-pounds-foods. This week I'll add treats I like throughout the week within my calorie range and take it…

queenliz99, I try to eat high protein, and low fat most of the time; maybe increasing my fat (the healthy kind of course) will help ? Thanks!

orandaberg, I also used to eat protein bars almost daily as meals, but because of the chemicals and expensiveness, decided to stop buying them. Setting a lower goal is a good idea, since it is doable. Hard boiled eggs sound like a good snack idea instead! I will stay away from the processed foods and learn to say NO…

Thanks, I'm working on it. It's gotten a bit better and looking for tips on how to not feel deprived or think of food differently. Anyone have any ideas on how to change one's relationship with food? It seems to be psychological question maybe, or just anything anyone had done that's helped would be appreciated if shared.…

My goal is to lose 25-30 lbs and maintain it. Every time I lose weight, I end up gaining most of it back...
