Love this!

I can't taste it in my smoothies at all.

Ok, that made me cry.

Quinoa. The texture has not been a great experience for me lately. I think I overcooked them a few weeks ago and ever since then it has a gross mouth-feel to me.

Aside from a lot of the obvious stuff that has already been said focus on incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into your food. There are a few ways that are easy if you are cooking. Maybe check out some of the Jessica Seinfeld recipes. She focuses on "hiding" fruits and vegetables into kid-friendly foods. I will also…

I love pinterest for recipes. I follow cooking light, skinny taste, epicurious. For me it's good because I get to visually see the dishes and it give me ideas for recipes and meal planning. The bad thing about pinterest is that depending on your friends and who you are following, you will also get some unhealthy recipes…

I wasn't thinking you were binge drinking :) I totally understand the draw of a night with 4 drinks, I've been guilty of 6 in a night in the past month. In my case it's those nights out the kill me, not the beer I have after dinner while I'm winding down. That's why I try to focus on those tougher situations. The night out…

Generally speaking, don't let fear keep you from doing something you want to do. If you want to run, RUN! I have been overweight most of my life. When I was 17 I had a traumatic accident that required reconstructive surgery on my ankle and about a year of rehab. Out of nowhere during this time period I started having…

I've actually started substituting whole meals. Where I used to bring dinner leftovers for lunch, I started making salads. I've sought out entirely new recipes to incorporate into my menu but the main guiding principle I stick to is: if it doesn't taste good, I don't need to keep putting it into my mouth. There are plenty…

I'm of the mindset that you shouldn't totally give up the things you love. If MGD 64 doesn't sound like a good option and you would rather drink an Anchor Steam Old Foghorn (my personal favorite), make it work. My initial thoughts are this, cut back and budget it in. If it is impossible to avoid beer at the sports bar go…

I met my husband at my apartment. I set up a carpool for some friends going to a concert and he was the friend that a friend of ours brought. My best friend surprised me with a ticket and we all went to the concert together. I thought he was a dork and a bad dancer. He thought I was annoying, I over-indulged in a thing or…

I never got a chance to post a thank you. Thank you. It was so wonderful to get your response and the lovely messages I got from other MFP'ers. My wedding is on Saturday and I am so happy. I'm flying to California tomorrow and I know it will be fantastic. I have been off the mark on my tracking lately but I know all is…

Drop them in the food pantry bin and eat something you like. Life is too short to take the joy out of one of the few true pleasures in life. I, however, love them and add them to my Mediterranean salad.

I love mine. I found these little stones that look like shards of glass, but not sharp, and I use them for set backs too. If I gain a little weight on vacation, I add the shards to my pounds to lose rather than moving lost stones back. Seeing those shards in there reminds me that my progress is not always forward but I can…

I would have said this a few years ago but now I know how much work it takes to get there... I don't want it that bad :\ I think now it would be Speech and Language Pathologist. I'm looking at programs now.

I love it here! I'm also getting ready for my wedding in April!!!! The support here is amazing. The friends I have here are so much more consistent and motivating than friends and family in my real life. It is amazing because we are all here for the same reason, more or less. Feel free to add me. As for shoes, everyone is…

I had the same experience but it's true what an earlier poster said. I noticed first, my friends and family noticed next, then everyone else started noticing. I think part of the thing with casual acquaintances is that they don't know if it is appropriate to say anything. I had someone tell me once that they weren't sure…

I have been having the same problem. I thought I had my shoes then I tried them on with my dress and I HATED them. I've been looking in magazines, checking out zappos.com, stopping at the mall to check out different stuff in person. I want blue shoes but I think I'm starting to open my mind a little to some other options…

I started out doing workouts that I thought were fun, Wii, Zumba, Carmen Electra StripTease. Whatever I thought would get me moving. Once I created a habit I increased the frequency and intensity of my workouts. Now I'm working out 5-6 times a week for several months now. It can still be challenging but it gets easier to…

I grew up in Southern California and moved to San Francisco when I was 18. I stayed there for 9 years. San Francisco was home. I have since moved to Madison with my fiance. He grew up here and his family is here. It's been about 3 years now and I still miss California. I went back this weekend and I was feeling homesick…

Sounds like calorie cycling. And here's a little light reading about underfeeding/overfeeding: http://www.ajcn.org/content/51/2/264.full.pdf

Your husband is a smart man. You deserve to share your progress. You look great!

A shirt. Luckily I had a swimsuit and a towel in my gym bag. When I realized I'd forgotten my shirt I blurted out "F&^K!" in the locker room. Then I blushed.
