You may need to reconsider your calorie intake if you are like Super Hangry at the end of the day. If you need a bit of a top off, I like a nice cup of broth: - 1/2 a cube of low sodium beef bouillion - A bit of dried onion flakes - A bit of dried mushrooms - Maybe a few green onions, or dried seaweed (if you're into that…

Happy Birthday! Enjoy yourself like others have said. But don't weigh yourself tomorrow, I usually find a lot of excess water weight after eating out, which takes a day or two to get rid of. If you weigh yourself tomorrow, you might feel like you messed up your progress... but you didn't really, you're just retaining a lot…

One of my emergency "forgot my lunch" go-to meals is the Big Mac salad - Big Mac combo, substitute side garden salad instead of fries. Throw away the dressing they give you. Take all the Big Mac toppings including mac sauce, cheese (basically no bun) and put it onto the salad. It's only about 350 calories. Now, I happen to…

I'm from Canada - and OG left Canada many decades ago. I have been to the Times Square OG and it is magical. There is often a line of people waiting, and they give you a magical disk that lights up when you're table is ready. Then you order "Tour of Italy" and feel as if you have just come back from Italy but still in…

Thornhill!!

*kitten* = Azz

Woohoo! I need underwear, they keep slipping off my *kitten*. Thank God for PANTS!

I am Groot.

I am Groot.

Yeah, after getting over the shock, I think she'd be fierce.

Yup.

This. I love sandwiches, but most bread is 100-120 cals per slice. That's like 200-240 cals for a sandwich + all the toppings. 2 slices of this is 110cals, and it tastes great, and leaves more room for topping calories!

Meow.

@gebeziseva Great video!

Oh man... it changed b**tards to *kitten*... I don't want to whip kittens. I like them.

IT GETS BETTER!! :smile: There are some who say, if you do it right, and eat the right foods, you shouldn't be hungry. WELL, BOLLOCKS to those *kitten*, I say. I would like to whip them with a wet noodle! :wink: It does get better, and there are certainly foods that keep you fuller longer, which you will need to discover…

Good on you. I'm same age as you, 5'10, started at 220lbs, and have lost 30lbs so far. Sounds like you are doing well. I weigh myself a lot (sometimes several times a day). And you'll find your weight fluctuates significantly. I usually put more stock on my morning reading after I've taken care of all of my bathroom needs,…

What the hell is going on here? Why can't anyone just answer these questions?

I can't promise it won't happen, but generally I find these are fairly supportive forums. To be sure MFP has its share of fanatics, and snarky responders, but also a lot of honest feedback and people who are trying to help.

Try drinking them in smoothies. I find I can get a lot of veggies, without a lot of effort (Sometimes, I just don't feel like eating them). 1) I usually start with some fruit - frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, frozen banana 2) Add in a little milk or almond milk, soy milk, cashew milk (my current favourite) 3) And…

I make a quiche with bread as a crust. You just need to cut the bread into pieces to fit the pan like a pie crust. It doesn't need to be perfect, especially at the bottom, if you can get a nice side edge, then you're doing well. Usually 5-6 slices of bread will do it. I also use a thin bread which is only 55cals per slice.…

I just came back from a week at conference - well, Mon-Thursday, and I'm happy to report, I've stayed on track for the most part. Even had Eggs Benedict one day, Ribs one day, Chicken Parmigiana one day, A slice of red velvet cake, etc... all in my 1500 cal budget. A few things I did... 1) Buy lots of fruit and have it in…

Cool. I visited Reykjavik last year. It's a beautiful city and country. I miss it. Welcome.

There was a scene inside the house where he took off the Fisherman Toque. His hair got all poofy, and he was wearing some new age zen master kind of tunic. I did not like one bit. But when he's wearing his long coat and the vest underneath and he's running around causing all sorts of trouble... I like.

Your eyes are piercing and alive!

That's not a baby!! It's a zombie baby... Nooo.

For me it was all about recalibrating. I was so used to eating until I was full (and even stuffed), that learning to just eat until satisfied feels like hunger. Satisfied is the feeling that you're not hungry anymore, but you still could eat a lot more. It's hard to get used to, because I don't think there's an emotional…

I also find that in the first week or two, you can lose a lot more than the 1-2lbs you input. My very first week, I lost like 5lbs. I think a lot of water weight at the beginning. But recently it has started to average out in the past couple of weeks at about 2lbs per week (but still very non-linear, some weeks can be less…
