Drink whatever fits your calories/macros. I personally prefer soy milk across the board (and it's easier on my stomach than dairy milk) but you do what's best for you!

Kimchi is actually one of the few foods that I get SEVERE cravings for, oddly enough. I'm going to have to try this out!

The gym I would technically use is a less than 5 minute drive, although my work schedule is so hectic that I can't justify paying for a gym membership until I'm consistently working out at home. If I can't find a way to fit it in at home, what makes me think I'm going to have the time to drive there and back on top of the…

I'm guilty of the "just one bite," rule. If it's just one bite, I don't always feel compelled to log it. D'oh!

I don't worry too much about macros but I would probably do an apple or banana with peanut butter. <3

You look like a completely different person! Great job!

I personally don't "log" it but I know others who do. I only log straight water to encourage me to drink more water on its own, but I also drink coffee and tea through the day, so I'm still getting my 64 ounces or whatever between my water and my other beverages. :) To each their own! As long as you're staying hydrated…

There's some fun stuff you can make on pinterest in crockpots! Personally I like oatmeal with fruit but I'm pretty easy to please. Do you think he would like a savory oatmeal, with eggs and bacon and hot sauce?

I always grab a bowl of oatmeal with some brown sugar at work, but on weekends I tend to like eggs, spinach, onions, topped with sriracha or tapatio. Mmmmmm! This morning though was oatmeal with two sliced bananas on the side sprinkled with cinnamon.

I like Luna Bars in place of candy, more protein than a candy bar and I'm pretty satisfied after eating one. The peppermint and the "nutz over chocolate" ones are my absolute faaaavorite!

I will always make room for the extra calories for the guacamole. :p I will go with just straight carnitas, salsa, cheese, guac, a smidge of sour cream. No rice or beans. This is usually after a huge workout though.

I was going to say watermelon and ice cream too! I feel like some days I could eat an entire baby watermelon...but I digress. I thought the Laughing Cow cheese wedges would be far more than they are, and even the Light options are pretty reasonable.

I will agree with all the above before I post my anecdote and say see a doctor. Stomach issues should never be taken lightly, and while IBS is common, it doesn't mean you necessarily have it--it could be something else entirely. Ask your doctor! :) I have IBS and it had gotten worse following a really bad car accident (my…

I also use vega and it gets the job done. Not my favorite flavor in the world but that's more due to the fact that it's a protein powder than due to the product itself. ;)

I love boiled eggs with pepper and a tiny bit of salt.

My ma loves cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes. I still haven't been able to come near the stuff since I was a kid, maybe I should try again, lol.

Organic in my opinion is a waste of money and a scam. Shrugs.

Money-wise: Makeup by far. Tarte will be my downfall. ❤ Calorie-wise: soft serve ice cream or pizza.

I've been asked when I was due as well (by my company's HR no less when I was going on leave for an injury, they thought I was going on leave because I was due soon, ugh!)

You look incredible!

Oh, and kimchi. I put that crap in every soup or chili that I make, haha!

Sugar snap peas! I also love La Croix waters for when I'm dying for a soda but really should think otherwise. ;)

I've done a "chicken enchilada lasagna" in the crock pot before! I don't have the exact recipe on hand but essentially: -season and bake however many chicken breasts you want, then shred them -spray the inside of a crock pot with cooking spray and line with a tortilla -layer chicken, enchilada sauce, sour cream, cheese,…

If possible, I would say invest in a Crock Pot! I use mine for pretty much anything these days, and it makes a mean chili! I second what the previous poster said about a casserole. Can be done in the oven or a Crock Pot, good opportunities to put a lot of protein and veggies in, and tastes delicious!

I also have bipolar, along with anxiety/depression/PTSD, it's a fun mix. I definitely struggle with keeping up with my diet and staying active on an almost daily basis, so I understand what you mean. I have the "go hard or go home" mentality as well, I've always been the kind of person who feels that if it's not done…

Squat press! Favorite healthy food that you weren't expecting to like?

You look absolutely lovely! Great job!

"Cucumbers don't have any calories!"

Hi folks! This is my first time in this thread (although definitely not my first time on MFP). I'm looking for friends and motivation and it definitely looks like there will be no shortage of either here! :) I'm recovering from a car accident that occurred last month, I was rear-ended and have been pretty much in constant…
