I eat them plain, usually a half or whole at a time. I love the subtle buttery flavor. I love them just the way they are . . . <3

I forgot to include that, whenever I see "journey," this is what I picture (seriously):

"I fell off the bandwagon". No. You fall off the wagon. You jump on the bandwagon. They are two different expressions. At least they used to be. Loose. Motivation, not being able to find it and needing others to help them find it. I have never understood this. If you aren't able to find motivation, how in the world did you…

A bottlebrush and some Lime-A-Way might work.

Sent you a PM, but I started off quoting you because of your comment about the photo and that you doubted the woman was 74. I had previously researched that photo and knew who took it and that somebody had just pulled a "sad old woman" picture from Google Image Search to make that comparison. My post started off with that…

I wasn't going to say anything, but this bugs me, so I'm going to rant a bit, please feel free to ignore it. This isn't directed at the person who posted the picture or anybody who responded to it since it is all over the Internet. You want to be buff and look like Ernestine, great, I have no problem with that. But…

Actually, my alarm is on my PC which is in the living room, and I have my speakers set loud so I can't miss it. It's enough to keep me up rather than a snooze button.

I just want to point out that one of the reasons there are such strong reactions to this thread is because of the click-bait title: "'You can eat whaver you want, as long as you eat at a deficit' is true, but it's garbage advice." (No, it's not the dropped "t" that was the problem). That title in itself is an insult to any…

I had to stop at this post and answer it before moving on with this thread. Pizza packaging? Uh, yeah, I rarely eat frozen pizza, I get mine fresh from the pizzeria. Flour for the crust, tomato sauce, cheese, veggies, pineapple (yum), jalapenos, sausage and pepperoni. How is that unhealthy? The only thing about pizza is…

I came to MFP just shy of two years ago, and had no knowledge of nutrition or how to lose weight. I had been trying on my own, and had lost 21 pounds in the previous six or seven months, and although I was eating less, I was not, in retrospect, getting nearly enough protein or other essentials into my diet, and I was…

Electric foods . . .

Just want to say, don't these two look like they're kicked back in recliners, laughing their a**** off at a comedy on TV?

This one? I just looked - I still have mine. :blush:

Love these, especially the last one!! You've come so very far. :)

The original link doesn't work, but as I said upthread, it can still be accessed:

By the way, each time I took this test before, I always thought I looked smaller than I am in reality - that was really sad for me. I was skinny right up until my early twenties and was ridiculed/bullied because of it. In my senior year of high school, I drank a supplement called "Nutrament" to try to gain weight (I wasn't…

This was driving me crazy, as I really liked that link. It turns out the site no longer has that feature, but I checked the Wayback Machine, and you can still actually take the test on the WB Machine's archived page: https://web.archive.org/web/20160330024156/marisota.co.uk/shop/freeformat/page.action?pageId=7758

This used to be a regular menu item at Del Taco in California in the 1970s. It was called the "Bun Taco," and they were really good as they had a lot more meat than a taco did. I don't know if they still have them. I think the cupcake craze was kind of strange - it's a cupcake! It's bigger and has lots of different…

Wow, what an incredibly unkind, smug, superior response. I think these quotes are the thing a lot of people commenting in this thread take issue with - I know I am. You're telling everybody that their form of exercise is not good enough and is actually harming their weight loss and will lead to a plateau, which is really…

I wrote this before I had my coffee - that should be 50% carbs, 30% fat and 20% protein.

This is why I have a problem with low-carb diets - it is because the people following it attribute these improvements to eating low-carb. Yet there are people who do the same thing by reducing calories and eating plenty of carbs. I am one of them. I've lost 93 pounds from my highest weight and my cholesterol, triglycerides…

The only thing that beats halibut to me is swordfish - delicious, grilled swordfish is heavenly.

Earwax. Sometimes.

That you will become quite vain and never miss an opportunity to check yourself out in mirrors or windows. I must look so conceited when I do this out in public, but I can't stop being amazed that the fat me isn't there anymore!

I'm 60, and had high blood pressure for several years and was on Hydrochlorothiazide and Diltiazem, and Metoprolol for fast heart rate. I've lost 93 pounds from my highest weight and am off all those drugs. My blood pressure is currently normal to low-normal, with Systolic ranging from 101 to 118, usually somewhere in…

I was on another beta-blocker, Metoprolol, for several years to slow my heart rate and I maintained my weight during that time - a high weight, but I maintained it. I was able to lose about 55 pounds while I was on them, and that weight loss combined with the drug made my blood pressure drop too low, so my doctor took me…

I have an MFP friend at 1578 days.
