I always log it as yoga...

I love this so much! Congratulations! You are my hero.

I always make sure there is no sugar added to mine. I don't think it is that bad, but I definitely log it.

Welcome. There are some great and informative stickies on the intro thread

I have quit successfully (smoked for 20 years or so) by using an ecig. I found I needed to use the bigger kind with replaceable rechargeable batteries, and also stay away from sweeter juices, as they made me crave sugar (which might just be me, I haven't heard anyone else say that.) It helped the physical addiction for the…

Upon reading this... it just makes me mad. It seems they are saying "The answer is not to go on a crash diet and then start an exercise routine you hate." Whereas I feel like "eat less, move more" is actually much more freeing and way less exhausting than restricting fad diets and a massive number of hours spent doing the…

I remembered that there is a point when you go from invisible to receiving attention. I forgot about how unsettling some of that is. I remember having some strategies for dealing with unwanted attention, but I am out of practice, and feeling quite vulnerable at the moment... Not to say that there isn't good, affirming…

So... I am trying to be a bit more minimalist. (I tend to give to charity shops as much as I buy from them) I have been slowly donating/selling my book collection. BUT! I also am finding these gorgeous art books (I am an artist, so can justify getting these, as I actually use them for reference-and print is generally way…

I have found that other charity shops have very good things. There is a humane society one near my mom's house that has the best things. Love it when there are things with tags till on them.

I am not beating myself up about macros, and actually upped my calories a bit because I was feeling fatigued and losing weight faster than predicted. Learning to be kind and patient with myself, even if I am really close to my mini scale goal, is such a win. I realized I quit smoking (for good) more than a year ago. ( I…

Thrift stores are such a life saver for the pocketbook. I have always preferred to thrift, the weight loss gives me an excuse.

Thrift stores all day for me.

Also easy: zoodles in marinara. You can use a veg peeler if you don't have a spiralizer. Just make sure the sauce is decent.

My personal favorite for "the make a pan of this for all week long" catagory. Takes a bit of time, but all ingredients are pretty easy to find. 8 tortillas 4 oz vegan cheese (If you can find it, if not, no biggie) cheddar, jack, queso fresco or similar. Filling- 2 tblsp oil of your choice (I use evoo) 4 or so cloves of…

I am a perfectionist and all or nothing kinda girl. Last time I was here, I decided that things were just too easy, I guess. My goal is to remember that no bonus points will be awarded for making my own life difficult, and I should be kind to myself.

Orbiting Human Circus is my favorite podcast (and possibly my favorite thing, period.) I saw the live show and it was so, so good. Possibly life changing good. Aside from the ones mentioned, For stand alone dramas Bbc drama of the week The Truth Getting on with James Urbaniak Continual series (I tend to love horror, btw)…

Breakfast is the devil for me, too. If I eat fruit, oatmeal, toast or anything remotely carby I feel hungry all day long. So, I skip it unless I am hungry. If I am hungry, I will have a couple of eggs. Not saying that carbs are bad in general, just that for me they have little staying power. And yeah, metabolism does not…

[quote="richardgavel;c-39947054" Sorry, but in my mind this isn't fat shaming because it was a private text conversation between him and another person and she read his text over his shoulder. It wasn't directed at her or in public. [/quote] THIS. The guy is still a jerk. But reading and taking photos of someone's texts…

You can make the calories up the next day. Just make sure you average about the recommendation. You can log the extra snack you will have tomorrow as a snack today.

I totally have this workout dress in red. My heels are platform wedges, though. More arch support.

Do your Christmas decorations include wintery things (snowflakes, evergreens, santa on a sled in a warm coat) even though it is summer for you?

My boyfriend is obese. Not sure exactly how much he weighs, but definitely at least class II obese. He was probably obese when I met him, but not nearly to this extent. I was in the middle of healthy range when we met. I put on about 40lbs, got freaked out by my numbers at a doctor checkup and have been on mpf more or less…
