Just chiming in here.. As a 23 year old, fresh out of college (well, almost a year and a half out), I've noticed this intense obsession with alcohol. Back in college I would drink every day, down a growler at a party, etc. I would go out to the bars whenever anyone wanted to and I had the money, house parties were common,…

I work in IT, so I was the only girl in a room of 20+ boys my age (call center environment for a university), and on top of that I was the only one that didn't order food on Saturdays and instead munched on my carrots and quinoa. They used to call me the rabbit. The best thing you can do is roll your eyes, or if you know…

Toast with peanut butter and banana on top! But I feel you on the cereal thing-- the only cereal that has actually kept me satisfied for any amount of time is Barbara's Puffins. They have a bit of fiber, fat, protein, etc, so I don't feel like eating the world by 9am.

Sure thing! If you're on the Desktop site, you click on "Log", and then on your food diary click on the little blue gear in the corner. It'll let you choose Sedentary or Custom.

It's almost Friday! Thank god. Long week, and I'm ready for the next 7 days of rain to start! It'll hopefully cool TX down at least 10-15 degrees, which is much needed! :expressionless: If it's not 106F for a few weeks, that's alright by me! I'm getting mixed results on whether I should be upping my calories a bit, so I'm…

I missed one and a half days of logging in about three weeks, if that's what you're referring to? Most days I eat up to my MFP-set limit, or go a few calories over. If I don't, it's because I'm simply not hungry. I'm medicated for ADD, so the stimulants are known to cause lack of appetite, and the one I'm on is even FDA…

I usually rinse it if I know that I'm going to be showering later in the day.. otherwise I straight-up wash it. But I refuse to go a day without washing it!

I feel you on the RedBull. I can't seem to give up Monster, so I just opt for the Lo-Carb, Rehab, or Absolute Zero varities that have like 35 calories or less a can! Congrats on the little victory! Mine is probably when I bought a pair of shorts in a size 5... couldn't get them up my thighs when I bought them, but this…

Lana: They were both on leash, as was mine. It just happens far too often... and my little girl, who assumes every other dog and every human is her best friend until proven otherwise, is ALWAYS caught off guard. I do my best to protect her, but it gets to a point. AOTD: Almost definitely. I usually just look at the…

Happy Wednesday! Trying to figure out the sweet spot for eating back exercise calories. At this point I've got 17-20 pounds to go, so I should be losing 1lb/wk, but by not eating them back, or only eating some, I've been losing 2. Not sure what my figures are going to look like this week and next, but I really don't wanna…

Hey, that's what we're all for, support! I understand your anxieties about doing things alone. If my partner is not with me, I don't go anywhere past twilight. I just can't do it. I don't even like being in my apartment alone, and having a dog has helped with that, but only very slightly. I also understand your budget…

You need to strengthen and tone. Try pilates or yoga if you don't like 'working out'.

We've both tried SWORKIT and weren't huge fans, mostly because of the pure amount of jumping involved. We live in a complex, and know our neighbors well, so we try to keep it down! :lol: Fitness Blender looks cool, I'll have him check that one out.

I'd talk with your doctor about it, and manually check your pulse a few times a day. It could be a symptom of many health issues, or simply just decreased fitness. Some medications or supplements up heartrate too.

My biggest trick to stop myself is, if you ever have that short, hesitant moment while eating of "I shouldn't do this" or "Why am I eating this, it'll just take me off track?" I destroy the food. Sometimes I'll pour coffee, water, or energy drink on it if I'm at my desk and throw it away, sometimes I'll just throw it in…

Yeah. I know he's leaving and someone else is taking over.. maybe one person will actually start writing all the episodes again, instead of random guest writers for every episode, so it can have some sort of continuity or plot? I just don't care about any of the characters and hardly see any development in them at all.…

It's definitely a Monday. 2 monsters and 6k steps in before 2pm. People keep showing up to my desk and when they don't, my boss is sending me to fix issues at people's computers. Oh well. Better than being bored! Back on track after a weekend of watching the Jersey Shore and not paying attention to what I've eaten. I've…

Wednesday Adams. My puppy is going as a ladybug.

Using the microwave as a bread cupboard? Apparently normal people don't do that. Also bickering. My mom and I happy bicker, we call ourselves the old Italian couple. If we're not bickering, we're not talking. It took dating my current s/o and constantly trying to 'get his goat' that I learned that normal people don't…

Watch your cheat meal. That could demolish your progress for an entire week if you're not careful. I'd skip that for a few weeks until you start losing again. During my TOM I don't even bother weighing myself, because I can gain up to 7lbs in water weight (insane, right??) and it just gives me a mini heart attack when I…

JFT: 1. Keep up with my timer water bottle. Starting at 10am. 2. Walk 10k steps before I get on the bus to go home after work 3. Stay away from post-dinner snacks! 4. Take the dog on a nice walk with the s/o to get us both out and moving

Hi! I'm Sam, and I'm a 23 year old female, recently transplanted from New England to Texas. :# Trying to lose the weight I put on when my relationship started, and then like 10-15 on top of that! I'm the opposite of most, focused solely on weight loss before I move on to fitness, mostly out of laziness. Also working on ADD…

The mere idea of putting butter in my coffee makes me nauseated. Granted, I have a very delicate stomach in the morning. Can't even drink warm water within the first hour or two or my chances of keeping everything down reduce dramatically. So butter? Noooo thanks. Plus 440 calories a cup? That's like a third of my entire…

happy Birthday! :grin:

Happy Sunday, everyone! Arnie- good job on the restraint at the fair! You did better than I could have :smile: Casually demolished my calorie count yesterday, but I had expected it so I didn't mind too much. Had a lot of snacks, and it's Oktoberfest, so my favorite German Biergarten was having $5 pints. Since my s/o and I…

Hi! I'm 23. You can feel free to add me. :smile:

There are 2 possibilities: 1. Water weight: are you watching your water, carbs, and salt intake? All three of those need to be in check to prevent more water weight, and to drop what you already have. 2. You're eating more than you think. Are you weighing out all your food? Weighing your milk is just as important as…

I'd recommend checking out SkinnyTaste's website. She has a ton of stuff, vegan and vegetarian.

Wraps are a great idea! Also I would recommend a salad, or even a classic pb&j (just be light on the pb.) You can find a bunch of rad bento boxes online (like bentgo.. they make a few good ones) and you can fill those with whatever. One of my (admittedly weird) go-tos back when I didn't have a microwave was a portion of…
