Use RIPE bananas and natural applesauce (you can cut out some of the butter/shortening too this way. I don't have an exact measurement for you - I just wing it.

There is a special place in hell for those people! :devil:

I've been curious about this kind of thing too. Thanks for the insight! I think I'll just stick to my plan and keep marching on.

I've got a lot of situations like that myself. Try to make better decisions and drink lots of water to slow down your drinking. I still go over my calories and I try not to beat myself up about it. Get back on the wagon when you get home and you'll be fine. Go live your life and enjoy yourself! Also, I bet you could work a…

/\/\/\ so much that! LOL

Fair enough. Next time word your complaint more clearly so we understand what the issue is and you won't have to defend yourself...

Oh for the love of god I'm so sick of hearing people b1tch about cell phones. :grumble: Don't hate on the cell phones, hate on the idiots that have bad manners!

:drinker: 2 miles running and 1 mile on the stair climber (at at 10 minute mile pace which is practically running in my book) and I didn't even know about the holiday! I love when I'm on top of things without even trying!

[this site needs a like button so I don't have to quote the entire thing to say I agree]

I know I've been guilty of saying something along these lines to a friend of mine. To be fair I was worried about her general well being and I wasn't entire convinced she was eating healthy (or really much at all). I was trying to convey that she was plenty small and she should stop obsessing over getting smaller. Now that…

OMG logic! I agree with you 100% and I think you should stick to a healthy sustainable diet. Give yourself a little leeway to splurge or miss a workout. As long as it's occasionally, and not becoming a trend, you're fine. Being motivated is great, but you should be able to enjoy your life without too much anxiety over your…

Why don't you offer to rotate in? On my currently lifting plan I'm supposed to rest 60 seconds after each set so I do a lot of awkward standing around (which I kind of hate). There is always someone waiting to use the lat-pulldown machine so I just ask if I can rotate in. I was scared to death the first time and now I'm a…

After months of logging I can recall my meals with amazing accuracy and I'm so much more aware of portions. You'll get better with practice too I know it! :flowerforyou: This helped me a lot: http://www.foodnetwork.com/healthy-eating/10-ways-to-measure-perfect-portion-sizes/pictures/index.html

I just try to find something that seems comparable even if it's from a different restaurant. I know my calories are never perfect but they're damned close!

I read somewhere on here to clench your fists and take a deep breath. I've used that trick a few times at work when passing by the junk food brought in and I feel like it helped. I also think becoming a foodie has helped me a ton too. Most of the time those cookies are sad and gross. If I'm going to eat a cookie it's going…

CONGRATS! you look great

BAHAHA why is it funny when a little old lady uses a pickup line on a young guy and gross when it's an old man and a young girl?? I'm making a mental note of that little gem so I can bust that out in 50 years because I'm going to be the most inappropriate little old lady ever (it's important to have goals in life right?)

When I was 15 years old I was my mother's DD; I would sit at the corner of the bar in a booth reading and doing my homework while she drank with her friends. One day this CREEPY old man (who could have been my grandfather) thrust a bottle of pills in my face and asked if I was interested. I replied with, "ummmm I don't do…

I've noticed a couple times now that I'm not quite shaving all the hairs on the sides of my knee caps. They're so defined and kind of knobby now! SO much easier to knick them and bleed too. This is like a non-scale non-victory :grumble:

Don't worry about people calling you a troll. I understand completely. This website is great for lots of things and I think you titled the topic perfectly. If people don't want to read rants/need advice type things then they shouldn't click on them. Anyways, back to your home life issues. I grew up in hell so I get it.…

I'm sure this is really tempting, but I think it's a bad idea. If you lower yourself to her level she'll just beat you with experience.

I would recommend doing everything you can to avoid her. Try to ignore her and literally lock yourself away in another room if you can. She's probably fishing for a reaction. Maybe if you stopped giving her attention eventually she'd back off on trying to get a rise out of you??? I'd like to think this is just because…

:laugh: I've refined my grandmother's corned beef recipe and my friends all love it. I use Guinness, onions, garlic and carrots (I'm so over the fact that it's not traditional because apparently it's just an Irish-American tradition anyways). I serve it with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and I steam my cabbage and serve…

I'm kind of doing the same thing. I can tell when I fall off the wagon my carb/sugar cravings come back shockingly fast (plus a HUGE lack of energy). Now that I've experienced this a few times I'm better about kicking myself back on the wagon because I know that I feel much better! (I was told to eat this way since I was…

Good grief I didn't know I had to be worried about my breathing!?! What are the pitfalls? Can you provide some pointers?

I'm very Irish (mother pure(ish) and father about half). I have a Celtic knot tattoo and I was raised on boiled dinner & corned beef. Also I have the tolerance of men twice my size. My liver is a champ LOL :drinker: (all those extra calories are a big part of the reason why I'm here)

I'm going to have my 12th workout from NROLFW tonight after work. I LOVE the progress so far. I stalled on my weight loss for a bit, but I lost inches. My advice to get started is to go explore your gym's weight room and get comfortable in it. I was a little intimidated at first, but now I'm a ton more confident. I devised…

They're literally tupperware brand. They only offered them in 16 & 18 oz (and big mixed sets with 12 oz) on their direct website when I looked about 1.5 years ago. I ended up finding the 12 oz glasses on ebay for dirt cheap. Not in the color I wanted but eh I'm over it.

I totally agree with this. Yes my boyfriend sometimes spoils me. Then I turn around and do something nice for him. We both have hobbies that we do away from each other (I have INSISTED that he go out with his friends when I know they're getting together for a boys night). If your entire life literally revolves around this…

Triple that! Also if you're in a bad headspace and feeling down smoking weed is a downer so that will make it worse. Lay off the weed and move on. You need to find someone that appreciates you more than she seem to. Also try not to be a doormat. We won't stop you from being a doormat because it's nice at first. Then it's…
