  • A glass of water helps sometimes as i sometimes feel hungry when really thirsty
  • I don't like the flavor/texture combo. I would rather eat vegetables when I want vegetables and meat when I want meat. I eat mainly but not exclusively plant based. I do this for a few reasons 1. Calories 2. Cost. 3. I love my garden and like eating from it. 4. Flavor variations I think these priorities are personal…
  • Zone 7 here. Been a super mild winter Bulbs are about an inch out of the ground but not flowers yet. Oddly by cut and come again lettuce lived all winter (although growth was slow in December) and I have continued to grow radishes I have started a bunch of things inside already. And yesterday I transferred a ton of the…
  • I love garlic roasted celeriac if you are looking for more ideas
  • I have been growing and eating a ton of turnips and radishes this winter. Love me some root crops. Particularly when the only things still growing are root crops and lettuce
  • Yeah well he also thinks as a new runner he is going to be days away from doing marathons. So likely a troll.

  • Well couch to 5k plans are basically 30 to 60 days. If not a runner if you got to a marathon in less then 2 years that would be impressive.
  • Buy the extra firm kind. Slice, dry the slices, coat with seasoned breadcrumbs, fry. Mix with other stir fried veggies and delicious sauces

  • 0oz Apple cider vinegar has no effect on metabolism or weight loss. What does? Eating fewer calories then you burn. Type your stats into MFp and start logging what you consume and burnevery day. Mfp will help you with a goal calorie amount Also summer officially starts june 20. That is 20 weeks away. So to lose 1 stone =14…

  • Hard boiled eggs
  • There are two types of weightloss pills. 1. Placebos that do absolutely nothing. These are the better kind 2. Pills containing caffeine or speed that can burn a very small number of calories (like 50 a day )but can also have a very negative effect on your heart health and brain health. These are a really bad idea Tldr :…
  • My foodsaver helps me a ton. I reseal packages as soon as i take out what i plan to eat. Not having the open pack makes it much easier to resist the call of " ok just a bit more"
  • Doable?maybe? Why not start and see how it goes for you. See if you can be full?see if you find the food and movement changes long term sustainable. Try but be flexible and forgiving of yourself. You are turning 40 at this point you should know that long term habit changes are what makes for long term success
  • Daily except during my period. As a woman the massive fluctuation during my period is depressing so i just skip stepping on the scale until my period is over for the month and then go back to daily weight ins.
  • If you have mfp set to 2lbs move it to 1 lb if 1 lb move it to 0.5 lb. I don't know what you are consuming but i would focus o calories in beverages and very calorie dense foods. I love things like oils and butter and nuts but they are very high calorie for the volume. I know i can eat a huge bowl of spinach salad or an…
  • I am not sure your calories. I just wanted to say that it is great that you are getting up and getting more active. If this is improvement over bed bound this is wonderful and you should be super proud of yourself. Congratulations!!!
  • Perhaps instead of thinking of it as depressing that you have to take meds likely for life or a really long time you could view it differently. Instead Wow isn't it wonderful that due to medical science I hsve a method of dealing eith my medical issues that greatly increases my quality of life. Also science improves over…
  • Have dessert, log that too and then close out. 600 calories is unhealthy low and mfp won't support that. You know you have unhealthy good issues so eat more. 2nd dinner and dessert
  • Also remember to log only the time yoi ard actively doing the activity. For example i did a brand new to me exercise of snowboarding yesterday. I would have had no idea how many calories to log without the database. At mountain 5 hrs 15 min but only logged 3 hours Spent some extra time doing things like renting snowboards,…
  • Ok that was so much fun but absolutely exhausting. I loved it but fell on my knees and butt so many times. It was so fun but very hard
  • Sautee onions for 5 minutes until caramelized Onions will not caramelize in 5 or 10 or 15 minutes they take like 30 minutes to caramelize. 5 or 10 minutes and they are barely softening
  • Also do you have an Aldi near you? I find the quality better and prices lower then Walmart
  • How about some bean based meals? Black bean or pinto bean tacos for example. Cheap tasty filling Things like rice , quinoa, or other grains mix things up Pork instead of chicken Soups and stews are super filling while also being easy and inexpensive
  • Relax. Realistically the amazing sounding tasting menu and the pizza margarita event may have taken away your deficit for this week So what to do? Make plans with friends to go for a hike or out dancing or other social physical activity this weekend. Drink a little extra water. Relax. Life is not all or nothing. If you are…
  • Depends. My lululemon yoga pants have outlasted 5 other cheap pairs. Still more then 5x cost however I like sweat wicking shirts but brand name doesn't matter Running sneakers Brooks Adrenaline is the only ones That don't hurt my feet or knees after 2 miles
  • Beans , vegetables, seafood, beef, pork, lamb, eggs, dairy,
  • It sounds like you view your weight as armour. That you are afraid that you might garner unwanted attention if lose weight. Do you have a therapist? I suggest thisbis an issue where a few sessions of therapy might be helpful.
  • Fish, shrimp, pork, beans
