Not one meal but evenings / nights are definitely more calorie-heavy than the rest of my days. During the day, I usually have the odd light snack but dinners are typically larger and I'm also more likely to allow myself treats then. I don't really do this to save carbs or anything but eating is a bit difficult with me…

I don't drink but many of my friends do. It's just a matter of standing your ground and expecting them to accept it. If you end up saying no but acting all apologetic and humble about it, they won't take you serious and will still try to make you have that drink or two. Tell them no and if they ask for reasons, be honest…

Here in Germany, most things are stated per 100g, and sometimes per serving as well. You still have to do the math (or let MFP do it) but that's fine. What bothers me the most is how they try to hide the actual "problem" with a food by boasting about how healthy it is otherwise. For example they write a big fat…

No Netflix workouts here, either. I don't have any cardio machines at home and no space to do much of a workout in the living room. Here in Germany, we only just got Netflix this year and I'm so in love with it! The last show I got crazy about was Mr. Selfridge. So good! I can't wait for S3 to go up there but it'll…

That's awesome! I'd love to join and first choice would be House Tyrell, second would be Targaryen.

I agree. I would love to join but there isn't a real description on the group's site without joining.

I'm really not a breakfast person, so it's usually something quick. Lately I've been alternating between a slice of bread with either jam or speculoos spread and a bowl of cornflakes with soy milk. Usually, I also have some kind of fruit as well, a banana, some grapes, etc. Although I have to say, I quite like the whole…

It sounds like you need to look into planning your days a bit more. Do you usually plan ahead or do you 'wing' it, choosing meals spontaneously? From what you told us it seems like you're deliberately holding back on calories during breakfast and lunch and then end up with way too much left over for dinner. Try to plan…

Anxiety and depression. I don't eat because of them, like comfort eating. Like, the other day I thought I'd do that. I had a bad day and I said 'Man, I'm so gonna get a pizza after work!' but I didn't. That kind of thinking usually leads me around to realizing that stuffing my face with junk is only gonna make things…

It definitely isn't a bad motivation. I think, although not everyone may be a fashion victim, looking good and feeling better about themselves is part of pretty much everyone's motivation. Clothes are a big part of that as it's how most of us express ourselves. If you can't wear the clothes you feel represent your…

Tattoos Men in finely tailored suits Guys in fast cars. Not the ridiculous colorfully pimped Fast & Furious kind, though. More like...a Porsche Panamera or something sleek like that.

Did you set it to sleep mode when you went to bed? Then it won't count any steps, imaginary or not.

What do you mean by 'hidden'? Hidden from where?

You gained weight because you were offered so much free food? Now I'm jealous. I had to pay for my weight myself. :'( Seriously, though, people get butthurt over me refusing stuff from them all the time. Even when I wasn't watching what I eat, I never liked accepting treats that are getting passed around. Plus, I don't…

I like it. I mean, it's still nowhere near some other boards out there but it's easy to use and gets the job done. :) One complaint, though: There should be alternating background colours or just any colours at all. The entire page (except for quotes) being just flat white makes it really confusing.

Bacon. Never understood why people are crazy about it. Any kind of alcohol. BBQ sauce

Yeeeeaaaahhh...nope!

Funniest book I read so far was *kitten* My Dad Says by Justin Halpern.

I haven't read it myself yet but This House is Haunted by John Boyne sounds pretty promising.

Yesss, I finished it yesterday and was so tempted to run to the next bookstore and buy the second book. But I really want to get through my TBR pile eventually before buying any new books. Let's see how long that'll last. :tongue: I'm starting "Starters" by Lissa Price today. For some reason I can't get away from the YA…

I just finished "An Abundance of Katherines", also by John Green. It wasn't as great a story as his other books but I absolutely loved Hassan. He's already one of my all time favorite book characters. I've now read all books by JG (safe for some colabs, short stories, etc.) and WGWG is still my favorite. Now I started "The…

The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and Sleepy Hollow are high up on my list, too. Plus, Grimm, Modern Family, Orphan Black, New Girl and Revenge. :bigsmile:

I'll try to make it this Saturday but I'll be at work, so I doubt it. I lost 300g with my weigh-in on Monday which isn't much but I've already accepted that I'm taking baby steps. I forgot to take my measurements though I meant to because I feel I've lost inches. It won't do me much good now because I've never taken them…

Oh god, I am so sorry you have to deal with this but this is about the funniest office story I've ever heard. I have no idea what he looks like but I imagined him like the Alan guy from the Hangover movies and that only made it funnier. I'm sorry, I have no suggestion how to handle this. I can't even imagine people like…

Loooove fresh blueberries. But when I make smoothies or want to mush them for some other reason, I buy the frozen ones, too. Same with raspberries. No wait, I prefer those frozen because they don't feel like some soft, squishy insect in your mouth.

I'm bad with fast food, I admit that. It's just so much quicker and more convenient, so that's hardest to avoid and I don't always manage (like today). But when I cook, I found that it's actually easier and simpler to cook with fresh ingredients. And especially with veggies fresh CAN mean frozen because those are usually…

You're already my friend but you can never have enough nerdy friends. :bigsmile: I'm Kathy and I'm a baby nerd. I love, love, love television shows, especially Grimm, Game of Thrones (the books as well), The Walking Dead, Sleepy Hollow and about two million more. I'm also a huge book nerd and I'll read almost everything…

You said that hearing this broadcast was what made you think about your friendship? Don't do that. If you didn't have these doubts before, don't let something like this get into your mind. It's basically like reading about an illness and suddenly feeling like you have it. But on the other hand, what your friend is doing…

When I count the reps in my head, I just zone out and stare into space but I'm usually facing someone else and they think I'm staring at them. :embarassed:

I'm doing so-so. Went over my calories a few times but that's okay because I only just lowered them from 1700 to 1480 so it's bound to be a struggle for a week or two. I didn't get to exercise because there's something wrong with my abdomen. I only got an appointment with my doctor for the 6th and don't know if I want to…
