Anybody? Nooooobody?

Oh man they have it here (Europe, at least I saw it in Germany) made with Milka chocolate. Haven't dared to try it

I totally agree with everyone who said water aerobics and walking! But also, I think the only way to not get winded climbing stairs is to climb lots and lots of stairs. I can walk much faster and further now than I could three months ago, I can even run a little.... but stairs still give me trouble if it's an amount that…

it may be that you're not getting the proper nutrients in for sleek, shiny hair? Proteins like nuts and eggs are supposed to be good for your hair. And I eat lots of eggs... and my hair is as thick and shiny as ever, hah.

Mmmmm definitely making these

I live in France but I bought some kind of Pyrex brand glass measuring cup (it looks like a pint glass) that has centiliters and cups on it, which is very convenient. Maybe you could find one of those?

Love it, this is exactly what I needed. I have no idea how to meal plan, always end up eating oatmeal and tuna alternately for every meal

I broke myself of the nail-biting habit (mostly) by adopting a rigorous nail care routine a.k.a painting them like twice a week, haha. I also just bought some different treatments to help them grow better/less thin and chip-prone so hopefully I'll be able to keep growing them longer now (before I had to keep them short cuz…

Thanks everyone! There were some compelling arguments on both sides (I do worry slightly about the health of my scale, it is slightly cracked already, but then it was only 12 euro), but in the end I think it's best for me if I take the scale with me! Much as some of you oppose the idea, I think it's best for me. I am still…

I'm not staying at a hotel! We're couch-surfing for the entire trip.

I know! But I think it's good to be a little obsessive at the beginning because before I was too lax. It's about finding a happy medium. Balancing everything

It's primarily for the challenge, but yeah. I'm thinking of making some strict rules to follow with regards to market food intake (only two glasses of spiced wine a day! Only one sausage)

I have a gift with words! Okay, I think I might take it... I know it seems silly! It's vacation and all that but I'm gonna be in Germany and there will be so much spiced wine and sausage, so I think a scale will put the fear or overindulging in me. Because normally I'd think, "Oh this is fiiiine I'm walking it off," but…

Okay, I think everyone is right! I need to calm down and maybe wait for the end of the month before I start freaking out and thinking I'm not seeing any results. It's just that you always hear about people with lots of weight to lose (ex. me with like 100 lbs to drop) who absolutely shed weight at the beginning - but…

Thanks for the tip on the Katsh-Mcardle formula. I don't know what my lean muscle % is (or where to check it) but I will try to find out. I assure you that my food diary is utterly faithful (observe the 6 (six!) chocolates I ate today and a liégeois chocolat, urgh) and warts-and-all so my calorie intake, to the best of my…

Haaaaaaaaaalp bump

I calculated my BMR once, long ago... I should probably do it again. But no, I've just been trying to eat a little less than MFP tells me to eat - although I do aim for net calories- I always eat back the calories I've burned during the day (not all of them, but enough to land me at 1100-1500 net calories - 1300-1400 net…

I'm pretty sure you could be rehydrated in about a day (maybe two) of regularly drinking enough water. It's not something your body stores - you have room for so much, it gets used, it gets peed out, you put in more, repeatXforever

I looooooooove froyo, but I agree about ice cream. Won't get the low-sugar/no-sugar skinny cow diet ice cream. Not ever. A serving of real ice cream has about 150-250 calories in it. I can make room in my diet for that.

Don't worry, French women definitely own and use scales

I too love it with fresh veg or as a sandwich spread. Or if you can get away with it, it's THE BEST on warm pita or pita chips. Oh my god hummus I can eat it by the spoonful

Okay I know you said "not homemade" but there is nothing easier than a drizzle of olive oil, a squirt of lemon juice, salt n pepper (salt n pepa salt n pepa what). Replace lemon juice with balsamic vinegar and bam, vinaigrette. You don't even have to pre-mix it. Apply directly to salad, om nom nom. Plus you'll probably…

I sent a friend request! We're in a similar boat for sure

ME TOO, this forever

I asked this same question just a little while ago and my friend pointed me towards two about.com articles, a list of pantry stables and seasoning staples (mostly herbs) http://homecooking.about.com/od/howtocookbasics/qt/basicstaples.htm http://homecooking.about.com/od/howtocookbasics/qt/basicherbspice.htm I've been using…

Thanks for the input, everyone. I changed my diary settings so it's public now. And as soon as I get my carte vitale (yeah having health care) I'll go in and talk to a physician. And maybe a nutritionist. I'll already have my food diary ready to go. I'll look into the wheat-free lifestyle! I also am not sure if I can live…

Maybe, but looking at a list of symptoms I don't really it's the likeliest explanation. 2 or 3, yeah, but I think they could be caused by lots of different factors (if I had 5+ I would start getting alarmed).

There's 5 different work-outs or so targeting different areas, and there's one that does your thighs. It's a whole program where depending on how you want to improve your butt (lol) you do a different regimen. Thirded for the Brazilian Butt-lift by the way, that is serious business

Seconded on the herbal teas. They're not even caffeinated (if you're trying to avoid caffeine for some reason - it gives me headaches) and they are all delicious and fragrant.

I feel like their little faces really make it. The sweaters are just the cherry on top
