I am lucky, because my boyfriend and I met through MFP, so we are both on the same page about having a healthy lifestyle (although we can both be super lazy too). Here is the thing. Your boyfriend's lifestyle is his choice. Your lifestyle is yours. Since you seem to be on very different pages on this, you will need to…

Bump.

I've heard about the benefits for women with PCOS/insulin resistance but that's not why I have it. I just love the taste. I put a little into my oatmeal every morning.

Not giving up anything. I don't do Lent. Never have.

Vegetables with a bit of dressing on the side? Cucumber, cherry tomatoes, carrots, celery (if you like it), etc.

Those two movies are as different as they could be. The only thing they have in common is Ryan Gosling. Which is good enough of a reason to watch them both. ;) They are both very good but I just thought I'd give you a warning because I didn't quite know what I was getting myself into when I saw Drive the other week. Not…

Yeah but I'm not too bothered. It's just a normal day for me (except it's my best friend's birthday the next day :)). I guess maybe it's made a bigger deal in the US (and UK?) than it is in Germany?

I can't seem to get that page to open. It goes straight back to the forum index for me. Does anyone know why? I would love to join.

I have PCOS and insulin resistance (have you been tested for that?) and have been on Metformin the past 6 months. I've not had any problems losing weight once I set my mind to it, and I hope that I'll continue to lose weight once I go off the Metformin (in a few days). I am only 10 pounds overweight now, I've lost about 45…

Luckily my friends and family have all been supportive so far, not trying to feed me pizza etc, but actually accommodating my weight loss efforts by suggesting we make a salad (when cooking together) etc. I do not think your problem is very unusual though. Read this article, it may explain why:…

You look amazing! Great job!

I don't take into consideration what I would have burned in the same time while resting. I just type my burned calories into MFP as is, and I usually eat them back too, and I haven't had any problems losing weight.

I've only done level 1 and 2 so far but you don't need that much space. Maybe 2x2 meters (6x6 ft). Basically you need to be able to stretch out your arms to the sides and front, take a step back, forward, and to the sides, and be able to do push-ups and plank exercises. I don't know if level 3 requires more space. I use my…

I want honest feedback on my diary, so if I have no veggies, tell me, if I've snacked too much, tell me. But also tell me when I've had a good day. I want criticism but if that is all someone gives, it's not very supportive. I also give feedback on diaries, either when I know the people don't mind, or I try to phrase it in…

I absolutely agree, I'll be your a-hole buddy! :)

I delete for various reasons. I do try to comment on all my friends regularly (that's also why I try to keep my friends' list small, I can't handle keeping up with that many people) but when I never get any support in return, I will delete them after a while. If they stop using MFP I will usually also delete after a while,…

Roughly 37% of my income after tax. More than I'd like as my apartment is quite expensive for the area I live in, but that's because it's a 2 BR (that I live in by myself). I could never afford a place like this in a bigger city (in Munich I would probably spend twice as much on a place like this). I live in a small town…

They won't make you gain weight or hinder your weight loss, but that doesn't mean they're healthy. I drink a lot of diet soda though - I am trying to cut down on the amount though, because it's not healthy. I use it to satisfy my cravings for sweet, it doesn't give me cravings though, as many people claim it can. By the…

I'm from Munich but I lived in Heidelberg from 2002 to 2010. How did you like Germany?

I'm from Germany. :)

Picasa by Google is free and easy to use. GIMP is less simple to use but gives you more options (similarly to Adobe's Photoshop) and is also free. Links: http://picasa.google.com/ http://www.gimp.org/ picnik.com is a free online tool for editing pictures and I love some of their effects. Link: http://www.picnik.com/ How to…

I have bought a pair of jeans in an in-between size, simply because I think it's important to feel good in your clothes. I'm just not as comfortable in my pants that are too big, I feel a lot better wearing clothes that actually fit. I just try not to spend much on clothes as long as I'm not at my goal weight yet.

I started with Couch to 5k in August, did a 5k two months later, then followed that with Jane Wake's 10k training plan (http://www.actionaid.org.uk/_content/documents/10k%20schedule.pdf), and ran my first 10k a little over a week ago, so I went from no running to running a 10k in 4 months. I think it's absolutely doable.…

I just had rice (cooked in vegetable stock) with veggies (kidney beans, corn, peas and carrots) and cubed ham. Easy and quick to make.

If you stayed polite, she should have been understanding. Your friendship isn't held together by ice cream, is it? Luckily most of my friends have been really understanding and helpful, even suggesting going out to eat a salad instead of something unhealthy without my prompting. Maybe by choosing healthy foods you make…

You look fantastic! Well done.

I also blog about my weight loss / healthy living. You can find my blog here: http://nosugarcoating.net/

Ditto. I was signed up with WW Online for like 1 1/2 years before I joined MFP, and I honestly didn't even lose any weight for good. I would lose weight but then stop counting points (and gain again). I'm sure part of it was my lack of motivation but WW Online didn't make it any easier. There was no iPhone app, and as far…

Ich glaub in den Gruppen können wir schon auf Deutsch schreiben. Mir macht's zwar überhaupt nix aus, auf Englisch zu schreiben (liebe die Sprache und spreche/schreibe/lese/höre sie einfach gern), aber mal auf Deutsch ist auch ganz schön. Ich bin 28 Jahre alt und wohne in der Nähe von Ingolstadt, bin aber eigentlich aus…

Oh my, that's amazing! I wish my calves would shrink. Not sure they ever will, but I know how awesome that must feel. Last winter I was so happy to find boots that fit me and that I can wear over jeans, but I'm afraid I don't have my calves to thank for that but the boots.
