Since he's essentially only paying for himself because, as you said you pay for yourself, maybe he's not as well off as you think. I have met MANY american men that always pay for a woman, and don't say a word. Him choosing to stay home when you said he is into you.... maybe he just doesn't have the $$. It can be expensive…

I work 7am-6pm 4 days a week. Your eating schedule should be easy, just plan ahead always. You don't want to be stuck at work feeling hungry because you are either tempted to cheat or overeat when you finally get home. I eat right before i leave for work, have a mid-morning snack, then lunch, and then sometimes a small…

yes

picadillo served with maybe some rice? super easy! *brown rice or quinoa

you HAVE to meal plan. "healthy food" isn't expensive as long as you meal plan, and make your own food. I make a lot of crock pot recipes because I can prepare the night before, and cooks while i'm at work (and i always have leftovers for the rest of the week!). pick out maybe 2 recipes you'd like to try (hopefully some of…

You can lower the sugar count in your smoothie buy using different fruits (berries) or adding veggies (like spinach). Do you consider oatmeal cereal?

i'd go with pasties. the stick-on bras suck! I got one, and it made my boobs look SOOOOO weird. not to mention it really doesn't provide any support, so if that's what you are looking for, total waste of money in that aspect as well.

I started Jan 2nd, and I've only lost 5lbs. Kind of frustrating. I know I should exercise more, but at least I'm eating healthier!

There are alot of meals you can make that don't sound or taste like "health" food, but are actually pretty tasty, and perfectly suitable for a household. Check out Skinnytaste.com, the food is great, seriously.

This happened to me just this morning! AND I won't be eating lunch either, so I figured get something that will keep me full long enough, and then have super healthy meal for dinner to finish up my calories for the day.

woo! Step one- yesterday was an AWFUL day, stressed to the max, my bf pours me a glass of wine, and I said no. ok, i got this during the week i think, now to tackle the weekend ahead!

Thank you SO much guys. This is definitely the kind of support I am looking for! Hoping I can make a change this weekend!

well, i tend not to eat as much real food because i know of the cost of calories. also, i just generally don't feel the greatest after drinking. so i guess both. it's just SO hard because my social circle really is surrounded by alcohol all the time, and i have SUCH a hard time saying no.

anyone?

you look fantastic! how exciting!

Perfect post! I've noticed how bad it's been past 2 weeks.

I see it every day!

She's your mother, i think she just wanted to give you a valentine's treat, maybe you deserve it after all your hard work together. It's your choice what to do with the chocolate.

I shattered the left side of my face playing rugby. Luckily I live in Miami, and had a great plastic surgeon put it all back together again, but that was def one of the worst pains I have ever experienced in my life.

I would get checked out by a doctor. It is not healthy to not for for 3 days at a time, i know, i've been there. There are so many things that could be causing this, and none of them are good. keep doing what you are doing, hydrate, eat slippery foods, take care of yourself. As far as the poop prob goes, i'd talk to a…

greek yogurt, almonds, and spinach always seem to make their way onto my list.

I don't know. I mean, I believe I would have a REALLY hard time doing this without MFP to help me. It makes counting calories effortless, and I am more inclined to eat healthier foods so I get more bang for my buck. It takes all the guesswork out, and i'm able to focus on other things in my life. Maybe she tried counting…

i freakin love food, and i love mfp for letting me eat yummy food!

i'll crush on you giovanni! haha

Best Sports Bra I ever bought is from Victoria Secret (surprisingly). I also have a hook and eye from champion that's pretty good, but i don't like the hooks.

i am loving emerald nuts (almonds)- they come in different flavors, killer! that, or i love a small cheese snack like my fav cheese cubed or a cheese stick.

i like to eat most of my calories during breakfast and lunch and snacks, and whatever is left i use for dinner. i have really long days, and sometimes don't get to dinner till 10:30pm.

seriously, i think someone already said it, but skinnytaste.com. it really has DELICIOUS recipes that both of you will want to eat, and you can be more conscious of your calories at the same time. it's perfect.

I'll never forget this show that i watched on TLC (mainly because the program administrator was really cute) but still... He said he had a patient that didn't understand how they could be overweight. He said he loved oranges, he'd eat oranges all day every day. And Cute Administrator Guy was like "look, oranges may be good…

Neutrogenia makes a great sport moisturizer. it's spf 70, and usually lasts me all day sweating in the sun. I live in South Florida, and play rugby on saturdays, so I know what i'm talking about. it never causes me to break-out. i use olay for days when i'm just in the office. the neutrogenia is a bit expensive, but…
