omg..I thought this had to be an Onion article lol...

I get very very hungry the week leading up to shark week, then during shark week my hunger is decreased to the point that i find it very hard to get in all my cals. Then my hunger kinda levels out again..I know that my appitite has been like this as long as i can remembe but i really took notice of it now that i am…

I was getting up quite late for a while, around 11 or 12. I ate after getting up then again aroung 4 or 5 and then again around 9 or 10 Sometimes i ate breafast foods and sometimes not. I now am getting up at 9am but i love my late dinners so I eat lightly after i wake up then snack then lunch around 12 or 1 then something…

I have used stevia for years but i forgot my packets and used splend a few times. I noteced I was very tired and joints ached so I stay away now.

Hang in there:flowerforyou: I have health issues and I have to go very, very slow with any physical activities right now. It is detrimental to me to push myself. I got a beginer video ( beginer yoga for dummies or something lol) and I could only handle 3 poses and I could only hold them for 1/2 the time. It took me a while…

I never understood not eating at night. I eat dinner around 8 or 9 in fact its 10: 30 here now and I'm just starting desert. As long as you stay in your calories it does not effect your weight loss. The only reason to not eat late is if you have acid reflux or are uncomfortable feeling laying down with a full tummy.

I'm glad Im not the only one...I've seen it twice and I cried my eye's out both times..

:flowerforyou: Yes I agree....I have been guilty of jumping into certain situaltions that really bothered me...next time I intend to PM my support and just report the mean post...that is if I can control myself and not get too hot under the collar about someone being treated badly :blushing:

i have never tried that but i love to slice bananas and roll then in mini chocolate chips or dip in melted chocolate and eat them likecandy after they are frozen :)

Thank you Fitness Chick for the support....I get a bit hot uder the collor lol...Your posts have been wonderful.. I hope the OP stays on and ignores the bad and takes the good from this site..

Personally I dont judge on the pictures. I go and read the profile. She said that she used to be fit and then had put on weight so I figured that the pic was inspiration. If you have a doubt about someone who you think has an ED I think it is best to ask for current height and weight instead of making a snap judgement. If…

You must be reading my mind lol. I have 3 sets on my fridge. One if I lose 4 lbs a month, one for 5 lbs month and one for 6 bs a month. When I have the urge to slack I look at them and it helps keep me on track! I can decide if I want to slow my weight loss or speed it up and I can see where I will be in the future…

aww AmyNVegas..thank you for the support ..I was a bit concerned about posting that because I was feeling a little heated lol...

Hi This is the first post of yours I have seen. I have been here for about 23 days. I looked at your other topics and yes I see the poster you are refering to and I agree it was an odd comment. But you also got lot of other warm welcomes. I dont understand how anyone can say your "weight" issues are different from…

Ive never toasted mine either. The stuff I buy from Giant doesnt have to be rinsed but when I buy in bulk from a local health food store I do need to rinse...I discoved that the hard way lol.

Yup you need to rinse it and then about 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce to simmer for about 15 min. Then fluff with a fork. Here is what I have for breakfast or lunch a few times a week. 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, 1/2 avocado chopped, a squirt of lemon juice from fresh lemon, a sprinkle of…

I dont have a scale but I measure. I have a measuring cup and set of measuring spoons that I pretty much leave out on the counter becaue i use them so much. I also have used my measuring cup to see how much is a cup in all of my bowls, mugs and drinking cups..So I am getting an eye for it. I dont measure my apples...they…

Breakfast 327 calories total ( easy today becuase i premade the quinoa lat night and just added the toppings before I ate) I have snacks planned but normally this breakfast keeps me full untill lunch. Avocados - Raw, 0.5 avocado, Generic - Quinoa, Cooked, 0.5 cup Bragg - Liquid Aminos, 1 tsp Homemade - Lemon Juice, 0.5…

I usually preplan my meals but since I rebel against anything rigid I will switch the meals around depending on how I feel that day. I also put all my snacks in a tupperware container and nibble on them throughout the day when I am hungry instead of having set snack times. So I get the same feeling of being able to not…

Good question lol. I dont know exasctly but Ido know that being under one day wont hurt. But I would be concerned about more then 2 days myself.

One day won't throw you into starvation mode ...just dont make it a habit thats when it becomes unhealthy.... night :)

I have late dinners anyway 8 or 9 PM I cannot sleep if I am even a little hungry. Eating before bed wont effect your weight so really its only if if it effects your sleep or if you have acid reflux that you should avoid it. Good luck tommorow I hope you have a better time hitting your cals :)

I didn't actually change my settings but I aim for over the settings on fat and protien and a bit less for carbs because I feel so much better when I do. I also leave the calories set at 1200 but I change up my calories, I try not to go for more then 2 days in a row of the same cals because I was hypothyroid in the past…

Mine also says 1200 but I rarely eat that little. I don't think it is enough. I have had thyroid issues in the past so I zig zag my calories between 1200 and 1400 or so and also have once a week where I eat maintanece ( or..maybe a little more :blushing: ) to help keep my thryroid from getting sluggish. I am losing weight…

Thanks Marla. I have been looking for the rule. The rules in the welcome section end at 12 and the ones in the general weight loss section end at 13. When I joined I read the welcome rules only so I never saw rule 13. Maybe someone someone can update the welcome section rules so they are the same, I was confused. Thanks Sul

Where in the rules does it state this?

lol, ok I am glad you are all still alive :) OK I think ill try the bag in water. I am planning to broil them to get crispy and then coat in sauce. Thanks for all the answers Im going to start thawing now:)

OK I do my menues a few days in advance...I planned homemade buffalo wings tonight and I was so looking forward to them...well.........I just realized that I frgot to thaw the chicken and I dont have a microwave lol. So is there a another way to thaw that is fast and safe? Or should I just put them in the fridge and wait…

I just got a crockpot and have used it twice. I would love to have more recipies. Thank you so much for offering. I am pming you me email :)

I also dont believe that it matters how late you eat for the most part. In many parts of the world an 8 pm dinner is the norm. I almost always have a late dinner and I am still losing weight. Some people dont sleep well on a full tummy however I sleep best with a late dinner or else I wake before 6 am starving...if I eat…
