I'm like you too. I'm always hungry! Try eating lean meats... They keep you full longer than just carbs. Eat whatever you want everyday but exercise portion control. If you want chips, buy the 100 cal packs and eat them. If you want an ice-cream, get the kiddie size. It'll work better for you in the long run since you…

I go for an hour long zumba class 4 times a week. It depends on the instructor and your dancing intensity. I don't have a HRM, so I don't know exactly how much I burn. A couple of reliable websites say that most people overestimate the calories burnt by 200-300 cals because zumba ads tend to say you burn 600-1000 cals per…

Honestly, I'm surprised that you're surprised with the feedback you're getting. MFP is a website for healthy weight management. People maintain FOOD diaries here. Obviously not many people are going to be supportive of a water fast or bound to have a good opinion of it. BTW, I did it once for religious purposes. Well, I…

So I can eat more AND lose weight!

Maybe you could try lentil recipes... Those cook well for 9-10 hours. Maybe on a day you're not working you could saute/grill/bake/boil/fry chicken or any other meat in a big quantity and freeze it. Then thaw out some of it, heat it and add to your cooking lentil recipe, so you have a full meal without worrying about the…

6 months... I knew on the first date though that I wasn't letting this one get away ever! 3 hours and I had fallen hard for the man. :D Here's the funny part; I proposed, but he had a ring ready when I did, because he was planning to as well!

By eating small portions of it and fitting it into your calorie limit for the day. Denying myself something I love, leads me to binge eat it anyway. If I crave it, I eat it but in very limited quantities. Especially French fries. I keep 10-20 on my plate and throw out the rest of it. If I know I'm not going to be able to…

My precious...

I don't feel alone anymore! :flowerforyou:

When I wake up, right before I get off the bed and stand up, I scream for my husband to get out of the bathroom if he's in it because of the disgusting morning gush...

Me too! I hadn't noticed till my husband pointed it out to me for about 4 months in a row. Its annoying really. First the serious urges and a day later, the debilitating pain.:grumble:

I'm so comforted right now just knowing that there're other people like me out there. No one I know has TOM issues like I do... The horrible pain, the blacking out, water retention, excessive bleeding!

Oh god, you made me laugh so hard, I'm hiccuping!

You are awesome! Thanks a ton for this link!

^^this!

I can't work out when my lower body is busy trying its best to impersonate a very leaky tap. Also, I see black spots just sitting and standing on those days because of the horrible pain. So nope, its not just an excuse.

bump!! definitely have to try these!

Still working to get at least one :grumble:

Made a huge amount of really healthy and filling soup to last me 3 days!

Its just a question of calories in calories out. Doesn't matter how many meals you have or how many calories each meal is. All that counts is the number of calories at the end of the day. You can eat 7 meals of 200 calories each or 2 meals of 700 calories each. Same thing really... I need to feel full after a meal. Small…

Just made this! Tastes amazing! Greek style lemon chicken rice soup 12 cups no salt added chicken broth (campbell's) 6 skinless Chicken drumsticks frozen (it was what I had available. Can use 3 whole chicken breasts too) 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 cup rice (uncooked) (any rice will do. I used jasmine rice) 10 cloves garlic 1/4…

I'd really rather have my SO tell me I need to get fitter than keep getting fatter. Being in a relationship is also about self-improvement. All this talk about "loving me for what I am" is great but what is wrong with pointing out faults in each other? We should be glad there's someone in our lives to care enough about us…

When I was dating my husband, I found it very hot when he cooked. He's a good cook too! It didn't happen too often because I tend to get possessive and control-freaky about my kitchen, but it was definitely hot. Now I still find it hot when he cooks, but hate cleaning up the mess later. So its hotter when he cleans up…

bump

I don't have a cutoff time either. I just eat when I'm hungry and I get hungry late at night a lot. Right now, I just finished a 100 cal popchips bag with salsa and I will be sleeping in a few mins. Sometimes I eat French baguette slices with hummus or maybe other leftovers from dinner. I really don't think it matters how…

Wow these situations stopped happening in my world when I turned 16...

Dinner! I can go all day without eating, but dinner better be there! Unfortunately its also the largest meal of my day, but nothing I can do about it. I've never been able to eat a small dinner.

What about a small clothes rack for putting them out to dry??

You're all washed and clean after a bath and you use the towel only to dry yourself. So why wash the towel after every use? Once a week is good enough IMO.

I peek into people's carts all the time. There're so many things I see on Walmart shelves I don't know how and where to use and foods that I always wonder if anybody ever buys. I like to play a silly sort of guessing game about people according to what I see in their carts.
