Oh, and it helps to soften the cream cheese in the microwave, by the way.

I just made this. I added onion and garlic powder, and omitted the chopped onion (texture issue.) Thumbs up!

Yummy! I would swap out the banana for frozen strawberries. Mmmmm

I have the Polar F6F HRM which was $100 when I bought it 4 years ago. I usedit with every workout, and only now just need to change the battery. I think it may even be less expensive now.

Also, I recommend buying a heartrate monitor to get a more accurate idea of your caloric burn.

Also... Weeds, Walking Dead... and give Once Upon a Time a shot too.

The fact that not every single post here has said "Breaking Bad" is offensive to me. :wink:

Wow. The worst I get at work is people tell me "you're losing too much weight" or they booby trap the workplace with donuts or cupcakes. (Cupcakes are my kryptonite.) I just try to brush it off. But I'd come back with a HELL of a lot of attitude if my co-workers called me fat. Not their business! No one asked them!

Where on EARTH do you work that this sort of treatment is acceptable?!

Don't forget fish!

Try this with butternut squash. My husband LOVES butternut squash fries, and that's saying something considering he has the taste preferences of an 8 year-old boy.

Bump.

Bump to come back here after work for the recipes. :heart:

Yum!

What a great, simple idea. I have everything in my fridge right now!

I donated most of mine, but kept a few pairs of pants, some under-clothes, and some shirts, because my husband and I are planning to start trying for a baby at the start of the year. These will be my maternity clothes.

This sounds terrible, but I consider my vacations a free-for-all as soon as I'm at my destination. A week won't kill me as long as I can pick it back up afterwards, and I stay pretty active on vacation doing stuff like hiking and kayaking. In transit, though, I'm all about the grilled chicken fast food salads. Burger King…

I'll get back to ice cream once I'm in maintenance, but right now I'm in keto, and it's a no-no. THIS is pretty darn close! And it's got some good nutrients in it.

According to the nurses at my clinic, any tint of pink or purple is keto. It doesn't need to be maroon for you to be in ketosis. Sounds like you're already there! Your liquid intake can actually affect the shade on the stick, like if you haven't had enough liquid, your urine will be more concentrated, therefore the stick…

I've done Weight Watchers and had success, but it felt like food was my focus 100% of the day. With this diet, I don't think about it so much. I feel satisfied.

This is SO true. At the time of the picture, I was 225lbs. I was able to lose 60 (of course I gained 24 back, but I've lost it again thank GOD.) I have a friend that I ran into tonight who is 170lbs into a doctor-ordered 240lb weight-loss (no surgery.) God bless her! I can't imagine being strong enough to take that on!

I've gotten my compulsive overeating under control with self-discipline techniques. One thing that helped when I started out on this path though, was recognizing that I COULDN'T eat in moderation, so I went with the next best option: eat healthy foods. If I felt like eating a ton of food, I would make it a ton of veggies,…

I say, if revenge provides that oomph you need, use it! Nice job!

It was a picture. On my 25th birthday, I was tagged on Facebook by a friend who took a full-body candid picture of me. Up until then, sure, I was aware that I was at my heaviest, but I thought I "carried it well." Turns out, not so much. Without the opportunity to pose and angle myself for a good-looking photo, I was…

You know, I didn't even think to do that. That's a really good idea. Thank you.

No, nothing I ate would do that. And thank goodness, it's not the 'roids. I'm thinking you're probably correct about the bulk, but I'll be keeping an eye on it. Thank you! :smile:

I ran this topic past my husband, and he agreed that the OP's husband wasn't trying to offend her, but was opening up about a fantasy he would like her to try. I wish she hadn't deactivated. Outside if the school-yard antics on this thread, there's so pretty decent responses she should consider.

The original pink Power Ranger.

Have you read "The Cuckoo's Calling" by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling) yet? Good P.I. novel!

Dressed for success.
