Wrecking Ball... In My Pants. XD

Oh yes... The Big Bang... In My Pants Pretty Brown Eyes... In My Pants Girlfriend... In My Pants Thrift Shop... In My Pants Payphone... In My Pants Sleeping With a Friend... In My Pants Ain't it Fun... In My Pants Adore You... In My Pants Addicted to You... In My Pants Talk Dirty... In My Pants

Yes I did. =) It seems "donair" is the same as "doner" according to a Google search, although I never heard of it while living there. From what I am told the doner made in NYC isn't as good as the more authentic German variety. I even had an authentic Turkish doner in Istanbul... wow, it blew even the German one out of the…

Peanut Butter M&Ms. -_-

Yes, first aid training, so if you come upon or accident, or have an accident, you are able to administer first aid should it come to that. Or something. You have to get a German drivers license if your stay is longer than 6 months. Well, I'm planning on staying here forever, so there's that... so a German license it is,…

I can pretty much get the same foods I loved in New York here in Duesseldorf. There's this Turkish dish popular in Germany though, called Doner. Its like a Greek gyro, except a thousand times better. Oh dear... I love it. Also, German potato salad knocks regular potato salad out of the park.

Also a drivers license rant... In Germany you can swap your American license for a German one... if the state your legal address in the US is in has a reciprocity agreement with Germany. New York, NEW YORK OF ALL PLACES, does not. So I have to go through both the practical and written exams, CPR certification, etc, and…

Also joined.

I'm Stephen, 26, from Long Island, NY. I'm a stay-at-home husband to the most amazing man I've ever known (knowing him since pre-school helps, too). I moved to Germany fairly quickly - my husband asked me to marry him in August '13, we got married that same month, then Imoved to Germany (where he has lived since he was 12)…

The only thing you can do is accept that they're there. I was horrified at first, but honestly, they're there, they're not going anywhere, and I refuse to let such a trivial thing (which they are) spoil my accomplishments. They REALLY do fade with time, though. You have to be really close to me to even realize they're…

I'm also another one that moved to Europe for love. My best friend I've known since pre-school in the US moved to Germany when he was 13, and he asked me last year to marry him. I said yes, and moved a month later. I have been visiting Germany every summer since he left though, so I was quite familiar with the culture and…

This thread reminds me why I'm so glad I'm not 18 anymore.

I've been visiting Germany every summer since I was about 14 years old. Living here is a lot different though. I'm not fluent in German *at all* so that's a challenge because English isn't as widely spoken as I thought. At least here in Düsseldorf. I originally lived in Berlin and English was practically a second language…

I just moved to Germany from New York last October. ^_^

Nope.

Another BodyMedia FIT user here. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Can't beat its accuracy; MFP actually *under* estimates my maintenance calories by a good 200. I eat faithfully according to its numbers and I have always gained, maintained, or lost according to what it says over a period of time.

What are you looking for that doesn't have an option without an asterisk?

I was just about to say, look for entries without asterisks (*).

Because less of the real thing is always better than more of the fake thing.

It means you have $363, but somebody stole $277 and now you have $86 left, which clearly is nothing at all. So you need to work until you earn $1114 more, so that you have the bare minimum in order to afford your most basic needs.

Using a food scale is easier and takes less time than you used to actually write that post outlining why you can't buy and use one. Get a scale.

12g, all from the ezekiel bread I eat with my eggs and bacon.

ME!! The platypus is my spirit animal! XD

5'0" and 132 lbs. I eat 1700 NET to lose. So realistically I eat anywhere from 1800-2100 to lose factoring in my days activity level.

Quite normal, I think. Since eating less salty or sugary foods, I REALLY taste the salt and sugar in items high in it now. Even things that aren't necessarily high in either, I have a heightened sense of taste for both so a lot of things are overwhelming to my taste buds now.

I can completely understand why some people honestly think food scales are overdoing it, but I have come across SO many discrepancies in my food that I can't, CAN'T go without one. The number I get logging my breakfast from the packages is 460, but its actually around 590(!) after I started WEIGHING my eggs, bacon, bacon…

~1900mg/day.

Lol, exactly. What nonsense.

Yes, because volume isn't going to be accurate. Weight always is. Never use the volume measurement of a solid.

I've only declined one person ever, and that was because after reading their profile I knew we wouldn't get along, and they would end up deleting me anyway.
