  • It's nice to know there are fellow shrimp tail eaters, I hadn't met another like me that I knew of <3 (Sweet potato skin eaters too)
  • Firstly, the commenting on here is making my afternoon fly by, Thank you! Secondly, Veterans, how do you not lose your ever loving minds with the almost daily repeats of this crap? I've only really been on the forums since this time last year and I've had to take breaks, and that was just from READING posts, not replying.…
  • I want to celebrate the 'Maintenance' portion! Its a lovely state to be in isn't it? No matter how you got there, up or down. 5'6" 138 (+/- 3 pounds, dependent on life/stress/travel etc.) 1700 ish a day Mostly lazy AF until snowboard season ;) but Archery days I eat like a I may never again, two forks, one chicken and my…
  • 5'6" SW 175 GW 138 CW 138 and in maintenance since February of this year. When I was in weight loss mode, it was between 1400-1600 depending on appetite (CI) and exercise (CO). I found that after a day of archery or snowboarding or weight training, I would be starving, so I learned how to adjust based on those factors.…
  • Not sure why you got flagged?! Some days you will go over others under, but like many have said above, if your week balances and their are no underlying emotional or mental health issues, its not anything to worry about. I do understand the drive for routine, but not everything can be so easily converted to that so go easy…
  • Some tasty brekkies out there everyone! I hate sweet in the AM, so any style of homemade breakfast sandwich is awesome. GF Bagel, sausage, cheese slices and an egg. <3 or second favorite, rice, scrambled eggs, green onion and either soy sauce or hot sauce. Aaaaaaaaand now I'm hungry again LOL :p
  • 490 as of this morning - lost what I needed and have been in maintenance most of this year. I adore logging and I am properly envious of some of these streaks! Well done, Veterans! To those just starting out, great step to become a part of this community, it changed aspects of my life and I will never go back to being…
  • 'Wish you were here' by Pink Floyd. Saw Roger Waters in Concert last Friday here in Toronto and it was one of the best nights of my life <3
  • Almost any fish, as long as it has a skin side attached, rubbed with a jerk paste (Love Grace's) or jerk seasoning and BBQ'ed with the skin side down. If you like to eat the skin, just don't crank the heat up too high, if you are going to toss the skin, flame away :-) I find for anyone who isn't really into fish (me) or…
  • I do the exact same and just switch up the base occasionally i.e. sub quinoa or rice or amaranth. I just adore it. Also, any tasty leftovers in your fridge? Steak or chicken and cooked veggies, then you've got what you need to make savoury oats. I love leftover stews or curries on my oats too. My mom does cottage cheese…
  • Congratulations on the weight loss! 5x5 SL is an excellent program, if you're able to download it, the app is free and its handy as all heck. Best of Luck for your continued success <3
  • This threads title makes me giggle every time I check the debate forum... that is all, I will see myself out. :#
  • As an aside, I found when I switched to black coffee, the quality mattered so much more when I couldn't cover up crap coffee with copious amounts of cream and sugar. There may be a few of you who initially don't like black coffee, but its not your fault...it's just bad coffee. Trial and error to find what you might like. I…
  • Had a Ninja, huge disappointment. Had a throwdown between them once I got my hands on a refurbished Vitamix...that thing is BEAST! It lived up to any and all hype and I was lucky enough to get the dry bin with it and can make my own flours. This was about three years ago and a very worthy investment. Good luck with…
  • It is OK for him to say it was awkward, it doesn't sound like he complained or made a fuss corrrect, peckchris3267? I too find it odd and a bit uncomfortable but I can choose to look away or leave the room/location. I'm not sure why its that way for some of us and not others but I don't think there is anything wrong with…
  • I grew up on powdered skim milk. Never again. Can't even stand the smell of the powder. I adore whole milk though, I make a flat white almost every day at home when I can. The froth is so rich and creamy. I tried lesser fat milks but the froth always collapses or gets a 'dry' taste to it. Either way, drink what makes you…
  • I want to address the dating aspect of your post and second what others are saying. I do not enjoy drinking out in social settings. When I was at an event, I was hit on twice by two guys. The first guy asked if I wanted a drink and I said 'no, thank you'. He immediately responded with a couple of comments along the lines…
  • Just to second another poster on the first page, take measurements! I have had the scale stay the same for a few weeks (Love the salt, then drink a bunch of water and throw in shark week and full scale stall or a 'gain') but my measurements showed the very real progress I was making. The scale self corrected after a week…
  • In for the snickers...someone IS handing out snickers bars yes? :o
  • Bahahahaha, spit out my coffee, damn you :D Mine is bananas, also known as ba-NONOS in my house. I think it's a texture thing and they are just crazy sweet, fake tasting to me like those little banana marshmallow candies.
  • This has been a wildly entertaining and sometimes cringe worthy thread. I wish to be as clever as some of the wordsmiths on here. I also have nothing to add so if you read this, I essentially wasted your time. Good day :#
  • My eye twitched, but I laughed. :#
  • I now have three :D My big one at my place, a secondary smaller one at the BF's and then a cute little travel one, little bit smaller than a cell phone that came in its own case! Like a few above have said, it can be an eye opener but it is so nice to feel in control and I hope you learn to love yours. P.s. Don't let…
  • Just fourthing or fifthing ;) the squat rack recommendations. Within the first 4 weeks, it became very apparent that I was not going to be getting that bar off the ground and up into position safely, solo, as the program progressed. I got kind of down on myself but then read some comments and realized it wasn't a bad…
  • I like to do the half zoodle/half pasta or insert any type of veggie that would work, spaghetti squash etc. An excellent GF pasta is expensive and very dense calorically so that helps vs the cost with the veggie noodle to bulk it out. If I have time to make a homemade GF noodle, I am in heaven but usually still half and…
  • Sounds delicious to me! Bread, cheese and ketchup, nom nom nom. To be fair though, never met a version of that combo that I didn't love <3 #feedme
