http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/wake_up_smoothie.html I've been making this every morning. I've been using about half and half strawberries and blueberries, and instead of sugar I've been using raspberry-flavoured agave nectar. (Which is technically a few more calories per serving than sugar but you can use less of it.…

Out of curiosity, have you tried reading the book "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking"? It's kind of dated, but this is what I used to quit. It's kind of poorly titled, because quitting still wasn't easy, but it sure as hell was easier, and it really got me through the tough moments. You should check it out, I bet you…

I quit smoking almost a year ago, and everytime I got hit with a hard craving, I'd just tell myself that if I gave into it, then all the pain I'd gone through up to that point would be for nothing, and that a few years down the road I'd just have to go through it again. I did snack quite a bit immediately after quitting,…

No joke, this book is seriously magic. I used it to quit smoking, as has my mother-in-law (she quit about 10 years ago), my husband's aunt (she smoked for something like 20 years and quit about two years ago), several of their friends (who all smoked for years and will tell you this book is magical), and my husband and…

I'm a little fuzzy on parts of this. I know we dated for about 3 years before we got engaged, that we were engaged for a little less than a year, and that I was 20 and he was 22 when we got married. It's been 5 and a half years now, and against all odds, we still like each other. :D We got married young by most people's…

This part is my favourite. :laugh:

If you put it in as about 200 sticks of butter and a box of Krispy Kremes, it works out pretty close.

:drinker: Win.

I didn't actually end up reading this whole exchange, BUT, for what it's worth, I absolutely ADORE mine. I use the one I have at home pretty much every day, and we have one at work too. I'd had a Tassimo before this, and ended up giving it away because the coffee just wasn't that good and I barely ever used it. But the…

I really only count exercise (going to the gym, running, etc.) as exercise. I may burn extra calories by cleaning or shopping or whatever, but without paying attention to exactly how long I was doing these activities and exactly how hard I was working, I'd be really guessing at how many. I'd prefer to not count that as…

I LOVE podcasts, but I usually don't listen to them for working out. But, a fun podcast recommendation is the How Stuff Works podcasts. Stuff You Should Know will pick a random topic and do a pretty cool overview of it (and when I say random, I mean things ranging from shrunken heads to the large hadron collider to…

I think the topic's been pretty well canvassed (you might lose weight from your chest, but you might also be genetically predisposed towards large breasts). However, on an interesting related note, I read somewhere that you should get refitted every 10 pounds lost. Also, while I understand that in general, boobs are…

I dunno how good the tempo is for most people, but I really love "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk for working out.

Hey everyone! Our boat is starting to look like a cruise ship, there's so many of us on it! Just the other day, I stumbled on this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/422381-need-to-lose-100-lbs-or-more-lets-start-a-group It's for people looking to lose 100 lbs or more, so feel free to pop over and start…

Those are ADOREABLE!! It looks like some sort of nut used for the ears. Macadamia maybe? (I am SO not a foodie, so I may be WAY off on that one.) I guess this is a good way to keep yourself from eating your baking... just give them adoreable little faces. :D

The BEST thing you can do is talk to your doctor. Just because someone has a good or bad experience with it doesn't mean you will have the same experience. You will encounter people who think it's the worst thing you can do, and people who will say it's the best thing they've ever done, and every stage inbetween. Talk to…

when I was a kid I actually added a hula hoop to my christmas list based mostly on Alvin's recommendation. I thought of/agree with several more: 1) Eurythmics version of "Winter Wonderland" (the beginning part is just creepy sounding to me) 2) "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" (I think most kids would be more traumatized…

Also, this.

If I hear Bony M's version of "Mary's Boy Child" one more freaking time, I might actually go insane. There's a radio station playing all christmas music where I live, and I thought that'd be a good way to get a lot of variety so I didn't lose my mind, but they play it about 3 times a day EVERY SINGLE DAY! My eye starts…

It's been awhile now since I quite WoW, but I used to play a mage and I would have dreams about AE'ing the hell out of MASSIVE groups of stuff. They were kind of awesome. Assassin's Creed = <3 I love the freedom of that game. I haven't played it in awhile, but now I want to... I just got the SIMS 3 for the XBox, which is…

My husband is amazing. He tells me all the time how beautiful he thinks I am, and he always has, ever since we were first dating. He tells me how much he appreciates me all the time, and he's always supported me in everything I've ever wanted to do/accomplish. He's been working out with me, and he's been very patient when…

Oooh, very interesting. Especially considering I'm on something like my 5th cup of coffee today (probably not the best idea, but I am *incredibly* focused. :D) It's also my understanding that the "8 glasses of water" standard that you hear bandied about is a bit of a misrepresentation, and that in fact, that's the TOTAL…

....I'm sorry, what were we talking about? I think I zoned out for a minute there.... :D (These sound so totally awesome that I'm considering hitting up the grocery store on my way home. Thanks for sharing!)

Congratulations!!!! Don't worry, those occasional cravings will get fewer and far between, and one day very soon, you'll not be able to remember the last time you even thought about it.

It's just warning you that you're TOO far under your calorie goal. I'm quite often under mine too, but I usually don't get the warning. I only got it once when I was WAY under my goal for a day. I'd say you're probably fine to keep going the way you are, just keep an eye on your weight loss. Mind you, I'm not a doctor or a…

Thanks, Dark Knight. That phrase will never again be not creepy. <3 Edit: Also, word!

You and I seriously had the same freaking day, except that instead of donuts I had Harvey's for lunch. Don't stress it, love. Tomorrow is another day. Look at it this way: that donut (or donuts, if you're like me and sometimes have trouble stopping at one) is going to be a great motivator. Tomorrow you're going to kick the…

Same for me!

Wow, for someone just starting out, this is a real inspiration. Thank you so much for posting this, and congratulations! You look fantastic!

Peanut Butter M&M's. I'm pretty sure these were created by the devil himself, that brilliant *kitten*. Also, thank goodness it's almost dinner time, because this thread made me super hungry. >.<
