Unless you don't find fat satiating. I'll eat double the calories from a cheese board than I will from a pasta dish in tomato sauce. I pre-log the week. It helps me plan meals and figure out what I'm cooking each day. I usually leave ~200 calories available for a snack if I end up ravenous at 4pm, or for wine or dessert…

I tried training at a gym for the first time last night. OMG WHAT HAPPENED MY FLAREONS WENT DOWN IN SECONDS. I have no idea WTF I'm doing lol.

I love making these. If anyone needs a protein boost, I make mine with vanilla protein powder and skim milk instead of yogurt and almond milk.

Husband and I walked 9 miles around the lake yesterday. Caught about 35 Magikarp. There were tons of Slowpokes and Psyducks too. 2 more weekends where we do the same thing and I should get a Gyarados, get my Golduck into the 1800+ CP range, and hopefully evolve a big CP Slowbro than I can level up quickly. Not that CP…

Picking my husband up from the airport tonight. Will be wearing a corset underneath my dress. Will be losing the dress as soon as we get home. ...Possibly before.

I really don't know what's going on in here because the rambling and lack of paragraphs make all of this way too hard to process, but: Pics or it didn't happen So you were aggressively fat 4 months ago, but you've been maintaining (and recomping, I guess) for 2 1/2 months, so you more or less went from aggressively fat to…

I don't want to pry into your personal life if you don't want to discuss it, but I'm always interested in hearing from people who have been married a long time. It's OK if you don't want to answer, but if you're willing to talk about it: Why are your emotional needs not being met? What's keeping you two from talking and…

In, but my final weigh-in will be Sept 21. I go on vacation after that. CW:127 GW: 124 Height: 5'5" 8/26: 9/2: 9/9: 9/16: 9/21:

5'5.5" 27yo Once upon a time I got down to 120. That was nice, but it was brutal to maintain. As long as I'm under 130 and not buying bigger jeans I'm happy.

Nah, you didn't do anything wrong, and I have a hard time imagining a Houstonian judging your for wearing a bikini. That was the norm when I lived down there. However, Houston is a big business destination, and people visiting from other countries sometimes bring their families - perhaps the other guests were from a…

This x1000. And a quick peek into lemon's diary confirms that he's definitely not a whole foods vegan. I laughed pretty hard at that assumption.

If my husband is giving me ultimatums about anything, we've got much bigger issues than separate interests. To give an example more extreme than shopping, my friend invited me to tag along to a BDSM play party (involvement optional). Husband said go ahead if I wanted, he wasn't interested in coming with me. (I ended up not…

Not that often, really. I go to Zumba on Saturdays while he watches a sports car race. He'll watch documentaries or read a history book while I cook, then we watch something we both enjoy after dinner. He nerds out on an airline forum; I nerd out on here. As far as things we actually go out and do, we're very well aligned…

EXACTLY. Admittedly, when it comes to nuts, I'm a bit odd. I will only eat whole peanuts, cashews, almonds, and pistachios. If peanuts have been cut up and put on a sundae, I will pick them out. If almonds have been slivered and put on the outside of a cheesecake, I will not eat that part. Pistachio-crusted Turkish…

I paint my nails. Kinda hard to snack with wet polish on.

I am indignant on your behalf. When my friend completed her half marathon, pretty much everyone she knew was either lined up along the race route or at the finish line. If I knew you, I would have been there to see you finish your tri. That's a big *kitten* deal, and you should be proud. For your husband to not show up…

I can eat 3000 calories without "pigging out" or eating out. 1000 calorie breakfast: breakfast burrito w/ eggs, sausage, cheese, avocado, flour tortilla, 8 oz of orange juice 800 calorie lunch: turkey sandwich on sourdough bread w/ mayo and cheese, single serving bag of chips 1200 calorie dinner: 6oz pan-fried…

Red wine pairs well with anything when you have enough of it.

I find the weeks where my husband is traveling so much easier to stick to my diet! On Sunday, I cook dinner. I eat one serving, and portion out three more servings in separate containers to take for lunch Monday-Wednesday. On Monday night, I cook again, and I use the leftovers for dinner Tuesday, dinner Wednesday, and…

You mean this person? :) At over 200 posts, you're one of the most tenacious trolls I've seen, you've delivered some good one-liners, and your ability to bring studies into threads to further confound the already thoroughly-screwed-up has been impressive. However, everyone is onto you now, and some have found you irksome…

Make oatmeal with milk, add chocolate protein powder and berries.

They can be glad they don't do it the same way I do without telling me I need to do something else or feeling sorry for me for doing what it takes to keep myself healthy.

If you became a marathon runner, sure, it's not out of the question. Your son is into sports; if he plays frequently, that will be a decent burn added onto his TDEE. I'd always look at activity level + actual energy intake before blaming metabolism as the reason why someone has a hard time gaining (or losing) weight.
-
1. Most people here are not offended. Most people think you're ridiculous for doling out pity and attaching emotion to something that's a neutral, emotionless tool. Do you feel sorry for someone who chooses to do their crossword puzzle in pen instead of pencil? They're both writing implements that help you complete a task.…

Does that sound like a healthy plan to you or a way you want to eat? Seriously, fire her. Protein shakes are fine. I used to make one (with berries and spinach! your nutritionist would hate it) every day until I discovered Quest bars/got tired of cleaning my blender. If you enjoy them, you don't have to give them up. But…

Sooooooooooooo you want to be able keep the weight off for the rest of your life, but when you stopped logging, you started gaining again. But then you "feel sorry" for people who weigh their food, even into maintenance. You know, people with the goal of keeping the weight off for the rest of their lives. They've obviously…

Do you mean an hour or two after you drink it? Yup, it's happening to me right now. It doesn't perk me up much, and I crash pretty hard.

I'm a serial monogamist. I've flung myself from one relationship to the next like a gymnast on the uneven bars; there's been good relationships, there's been bad ones, and I don't touch the ground in between. Going from my last relationship (4 years, lived together) to now with my husband has been... Idk, I'm gonna bullet…

Don't think about losing all 200 lbs right now. Think about losing 10. Then another 10. Then another 10. Develop good habits that you can maintain. You can either start now, or you can put it off another month, six months, a year... Then look back and realize how much time has passed without you having gotten anywhere.…

Mmmmmmm morels. Husband grew up in farm country an hour outside of Kansas City. They had a secret spot for morels in the woods behind their house. They'd get trash bags full of them every season. I really want to go up there one spring and see if that spot is still there...
