That was what I was planning to do, but when I was looking at the chart I got mixed up and some of the bottom ones got cross-pollinated during the first round :D Oh well, I did get around to doing two sets of each! I've been doing the exercises as best I can so far but have mostly posted progress on my feed instead of…

I'm in!

Normal fluctuation. I'm going to put this out there, also: your profile says you're 23/f, so maybe some monthly hormonal fluctuations going on too - ovulation/TOM usually means water retention for most.

Mine's open to friends, check my profile and feel free to add.

I wish I could find it again, but I saw a web article recently (I'm sure it can't be the only one) where a few super-svelte/skinny models and such showed alternate photos of themselves sitting down at unflattering angles, at the end of the day, etc. One lady who 'normally' had a flat, toned tummy snapped a pic of herself…

I forgot to check back on this post - lots of great suggestions, thank you all so much! For the men who thought they were being clever by cluttering up this post with inappropriate sexual suggestions - you're not funny, I didn't ask for people I didn't know to say things like that to me, and I hope you have a terrible day…

Toothpaste does (I know better now, but as a teenager I totally did the thing where I used it as an emergency substitute for acne treatment), I don't know about shampoo, since it doesn't get the chance to stay long on skin. Not too tempted to run an experiment! I do know I need some kind of moisturizer, as I wake up in the…

Pita bread/chips plus cheese String cheese or those individually wrapped cheeses keep ok in room temp. Cereal Those single-serving things of tunafish and crackers Jerky Crackers/chips Dried spiced chickpeas/edamame (as a nut alternative) Peanut butter seems to be OK even though you said no nuts, so how about an extra…

Another bump! You definitely don't have to have the same goals as I do/be in the same demographic (turns out most of the people I added don't/aren't! Variety is the spice of life, cliche etc.) but I'm really looking for people who are a bit chit-chatty on their newsfeeds, at least... I don't want to feel like the only one,…

Hey, a fellow Michiganian/gander! Feel free to add me, my diary's open. Would enjoy having more chatty MFP pals!

I like your style. Feel free to add!

:* *waves paw into the void*

hummus and a head of romaine lettuce. although i have to wash the lettuce which is #firstworldproblems when i'm feeling that lazy. */emotear

heh, yeah, this. i find electronic/electropunk/whatever music gets me moving b/c of the consistent beat -- less buildup/slowdown than regular rock/pop, which can throw me off when a song suddenly tapers after three minutes. mstrkrft and bloody beetroots remixes have featured p. prominently on my playlists lately.

a sub-30 on your first 5k is AWESOME. of course i already knew you'd kick *kitten*, cos you're just that cool ;)

2:1 liquid to rice ratio. it also helps to soak brown rice for at least an hour beforehand. i use a rice cooker, haha, cooking it on a stove is beyond my kitchen skills.

exercise can trigger mine sometimes. i always have to prepare myself for the point where my lizard brain starts to associate the increased heart rate/sweat/other physical cues of exertion with an anxiety attack. however, exercise has helped worlds with overall depression symptoms, so if it starts happening, i time out,…

not embarrassment, privacy issues.

nawwwwww in ten years you can be an ironic hipster, ironically enjoying the hell out of backstreet boys. it's all good

smoked paprika is the BEST. *superlatives*

sarcasm, right? right???????????? hannibal?

i have a half-gallon jug in my fridge. i find it's easier to drink a certain amount if i have a visual of how much i'm actually drinking -- oh, i'm halfway through, etc., let me just drink another 16 oz and finish that up -- rather than just chugging away at an infinite amount of tap water. it gives me a goal to work…

they didn't have blueberry pancakes.

i think i cracked a rib.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA thread winner

please reconsider! she is a counselor. it is HER JOB to help other people, including yourself! you are in no way wasting her time, giving you help and support and advice is what she is trained to do. please don't take it the wrong way when i say that maybe relying on only yourself for recovery might not the best strategy,…

tomato - slice and sprinkle a little salt brussel sprouts - brush with olive oil, roast in oven, sprinkle with lemon juice cauliflower - the mashed recipe op posted is terrific red bell peppers - NOM NOM NOM spinach - in salads, or slightly wilted on top of whatever's for dinner yellow squash - sauteed chard - see above i…

i am not trying to cast aspersions on anyone's character! i'm sure no one here is a puppy-drowning nazi (and in fact are all lovely people, hyperbole aside). but in this particular post, i feel that their behavior was not something to celebrate, and that is what i am responding to. saying that people who post to the forums…

some of us come from a history of binge/emotional eating. speaking for myself, it's not how much i go over, it's why and what that means -- it's symptomatic of a much bigger problem than OH NO YOU LET URSELF HAZ CHEEZBURGER -- that makes me occasionally go into a spiral of feeling ALL the bad feelings. it's easy to be smug…

if i were a dude, michael fassbender, hands (and other body parts) down. if i were a lady, helen mirren. investment for the future, that is. alas i'm only a hedgehog. :(
