Nursedb - you look like a fun person. Congrats on your progress!

Every journey starts with a single step. You have already taken so many!! Great work. You are inspiring!

There's plenty on there that you could define as "healthy" depending what your personal dietary needs are. The grilled chicken salad w/ dressing on the side, grilled fajitas, or any grilled/baked seafood dishes look fine. You can always ask a dish to be modified slightly to fit your needs. Or just eat whatever you want,…

I love gardening! This year we have 3 kinds of heirloom tomatoes, 3 squash plants (may thin down to 2, depending on how big they get), 2 kinds of pepper, basil, oregano, and 5 kinds of lettuce. I'm pretty stoked!

But what about limes?

I thought when life handed me lemons I was supposed to make lemonade. Now I am going to call it "Detox Lemonade" and sell it for a million bucks. Maybe I'll get to be on the Dr. Oz show!

Get inspired by Japanese yakitori! Marinate them in some soy sauce and mirin, garlic paste, and chili flakes. Skewer them onto a bamboo skewer and grill on really high heat! The ends will get nice and charred and the sauce adds flavor without fat. Look up yakitori recipes for more ideas!

Chips! Salty crunchy potato chips. Especially the "kettle" kind. Gawd, I love those things and will polish off a whole bag before I realize that I feel like crap for doing so!

All I want to know is if those two from earlier in the thread patched up their differences at Red Lobster.

I think we have the same palate!! Eggs w/ hot sauce = my breakfast every day!

I am so jealous of people with Anova sous vide machines!! My obsessions lately: Roasted broccoli - coat with a little healthy oil, sprinkle sea salt, and roast until the edges get a little brown and crispy. Like broccoli crackers or chips, I can't stop eating. AVOCADOES. All day every day Coconut oil - I love the flavor it…

How about boxing/punching exercises? It gets your heart rate up but you can even do it while sitting down. Jabs, hooks, etc. Swimming also is really helpful - you don't have to kick, put a kickboard under your chest and use your arms to pull through the water. How about yoga and pilates? A lot of floor work can be done…

I gasped when she walked out. I did not recognize her. In the pic she doesn't look too bad - almost like Kate Middleton - but the speed at which she lost so much, and how she looked when she moved and the way her skin pulled across her face... oh my god, I just gasped. I almost started crying. It was so awkward and…

I use organic, refined coconut oil in my coffee sometimes. I put about a teaspoon or so in and blend it up in a blender with some strong black coffee; it comes out nice and creamy, like a cafe au lait, no weird oily separation at all. Its good! Make sure you blend it though or it will separate giving you an oily sheen on…

Chicken coconut curry. Chicken thighs simmered in white wine and homemade chicken stock with onions, garlic, hot chilies, ginger, and lemongrass. Cook the wine/stock down until it reduces and then add a can of coconut milk and curry spices. Simmer a little longer, add a yellow bell pepper and a diced tomato. Serve over…

The "no carbs after X amount of time" is BS. Also, anyone can say anything on the internet. One's supposed IQ has nothing to do with smart eating and exercising habits.
-
To me, clean eating is whatever makes me feel good inside. A chicken breast, some tender quinoa or black beans, a little guacamole, a tomato salad - sounds clean, right? But sometimes, a thin crust pizza with a light application of incredibly fresh mozzarella, plenty of veggies and a little fresh marinara, fresh-grown…

Sure, if that's what makes you feel good. Love your body!

Bonding with friends over food is wonderful and there's nothing wrong with it. It's part of the community; what is more hospitable than sharing food with people we love? Food is nourishment and at its core is a joyous part of our lives. I have the same "problem", though, so I understand that you'd love to find a few other…

You look great! Congratulations! What's the best thing about losing the weight? What has surprised you the most? (Off topic question! - Is that the Bridge to Nowhere in your pictures? I used to hike to there all the time and watch people bungie off the bridge, totally nuts! I love that hike and miss it!)
-
Hey, that sounds delicious! Similar to my favorite "garbage casserole" recipe - basically clean out all the vegetables in the produce bin before they turn, toss in some leftovers, make some pasta and voila, its a seriously delicious meal (with a funny if unfortunate name around here).

4 ounces of sashimi-grade tuna seared rare, seasoned with garlic salt and a soy sauce/mirin combo. Alongside a small salad of vegetables from my backyard garden (heirloom tomatoes and cucumbers). If it sounds super virtuous don't be fooled, I ate a crapton of crap today while watching football and this dinner was the only…

I get the NoOodles brand. They require a good rinsing and you can and should cook them (you can stir-fry without oil in a very hot pan, they shouldn't stick) with vegetables or sauce. They have a weird texture but its similar to rice noodles and other Asian noodles you find in various soups and other dishes. I enjoy them…

Shoe size shrinking. Ring size shrinking - until I get it resized I've been wearing my engagement ring on my middle finger so I don't lose it! Hair and nails seem to grow faster (I've been told this is a result of the vitamins I take) I'm more critical of myself. This one is hard. I still have the mentality of what I…

Tortilla chips with salsa Cottage cheese (has SO much sodium, before joining MFP I had NO idea) Any sort of pickled, preserved, or canned vegetable/meat Sports drinks have a surprising amount of sodium, too.

Yes! Drink some water and take a nap. It sounds like it might be the start of a migraine... have you ever had one before? If it continues into tomorrow go see your doctor!

The guys who crowd the weight area and then do NOTHING but bicep curls. All curls, all the time. It is crazy. I feel bad but once I notice it I can't stop, and as one of the few (sometimes only) girls in the weights area, it gets frustrating when I need someone curling non-stop to give me a little space so I can deadlift…
