I should mention that I'm Lactose Intolerant! Some great suggestions so far; stir-fry is sounding so appetizing right about now!

Bump.

This thread makes me giggle, classy single gentlemen :tongue:

Hey I'm getting my first apartment this year too :) I'm super excited to cook for myself! Dining Hall food is dangerous.

I feel dumb but what does NSV stand for?

mmmmmcookies.tumblr.com Just a warning, I'm super random :P

I think people who don't want to know about what's in their food are just being ignorant. Ignorance is bliss, after all.

5'1" with 35 pounds to lose. Close enough, right? 130 is my goal, but 120 would be oh so nice!

I've been thinking about maybe getting a Wii Fit, but the cost factor is kinda putting me off

You ARE the *kitten* if believe you are! Good job with that confidence girl, and congrats on the 6 pounds :)

Do want yum yum!

This seemingly happens to me all of the time. I started this program 3 days ago and I'm 2 pounds down on the scale. It's likely water weight. Also depends on what time of the day you're weighing yourself. You tend to be the lightest first thing in the morning.

Whatever you do, don't get the Mac and Cheese!!! And they only have 4 entrees on their extensive menu that boast less than 600 calories. Sad, sad, sad Cheesecake Factory.

I just got back from Spain after 6 weeks - oh BOY do I want to make this!!!

It makes me sick to think somebody could even eat a large order of fries from Five Guys...I always ALWAYS get the regular and split them with a friend when I'm splurging. Uggh.

Welcome back - your story is really inspiring, and I'm glad you realized you were heading down the wrong road on the weight-loss journey! P.S. I'm a rising Junior at American. DC University love :)

Thanks for all the encouragement guys - I look forward to sharing my progress with you :) My sister's wedding is in October and I'm the maid of honor. Gotta look good! (Not as good as the bride, of course ;D)

Hi Tyler - here's an actual teenager replying to your post! I started MFP last year at 17, and it worked so well for me :) I lost 10 pounds with what seemed like minimal effort. Seeing what you're eating and realizing just how bad it is for you opens up your eyes to a world of possibility! Unfortunately, now that I'm in…

Congrats to you! Same thing happened to me. I was told that I was "shrinking away" by one of my club advisors. I had only lost 5 pounds. I'm sure you're looking fantastic. Keep up the good work!

A turkey burger on whole wheat bread with veggies on the side is pretty low cal and really filling :)

So I ate a brownie today, because a girl at my lunch table made them for us It was very large, very chocolatey, and very delicious It was also 600 calories, which is half of my recommended daily intake of calories I've only been going at this for a week, and I've been doing pretty good so far, but this event made today…

Good for you Cook, keep on trucking! :)

Hey all, my name is Marley and I'm new to MFP! I've been kind of lurking in the forums for the past couple of days, and it is amazing to me that nobody here has one bad thing to say about anything or anyone. :happy: You guys are remarkable! Your stories are all so inspirational, and I wish the best luck to all of you. I…
