A while ago I was eating at 1,200 (mostly below) and exercising and did not really lose for weeks. Then I talked to my doctor and nutritionist and did some reading and decided to up my calories to 1,500-1,600 net calories a day. I was so worried I would gain weight, but I did not. So I wouldn't be too worried. It is more…

I hope you're joking... Small amounts of sperm cells are released even before the man orgasms. So when you "pull out," you might already have impregnated your woman...

I just got a new pack of my pill and had to check... My leaflet clearly states that you cannot miss a single pill. I'm on a different (German) brand of pill, though... so of course there are many different forms. By the way I started out with Diane (which I've seen mentioned here several times) and it made me sick - dose…

That was BEFORE, but it was still sooo disgusting: Deep-fried butter (yeah, for real...). Also, at Disney I had cookie dough with caramel on top. It tasted heavenly but when my boyfriend asked what I was eating and I said "cookie dough with caramel" I couldn't even finish the sentence because it just sounded so wrong... :D

It's really "funny" to see replies from people who have 50-100lbs more to lose (!) and still say "I don't understand how anyone can eat 2,000 kcal... I'm stuffed after 1,200" etc... So how exactly did you get overweight if you're stuffed after 1,200 kcal? Am I the only one who thinks that's ridiculous? For myself: I love…

That should not be a novelty to women who take the pill. Of course missing one pill (or taking it more than 8-10 hours too late) will make you available for pregnancy for the rest of the cycle. Reading the fine print should explain this and your doctor obviously should mention this as well... Also: taking antibiotics will…

That must have been a misunderstanding. "Whole grain" means that the whole grain is used when the grain is milled to get the flour. White bread gets rid of the shell of the grain which contains the most vitamins and fiber.

Legally "multi grain" does not mean that there is whole grain in it. It just means it has to include at least 3 or 4 different grains (depending on the country). It could still be white bread, just made out of different grains. "whole grain" means - legally - that it has to include at least 90% whole grain flour.

I've been taking it on and off for a while. I have very fine and thinning hair (hormonal reasons). I didn't notice any major difference, but my hair has not been falling out more. So it hasn't gotten worse at least and that's already something good to me.

Guess ubermensch didn't even read the post...

I pin as "KaydeForce" and I have several boards with quick and (mostly) low-cal and healthy recipes. Just in case you're interested. I learned most of my cooking from my mum though. So I cook just the way we do it in our family most of the time. But if I branch out, I get my recipes from pinterest.

Just saw this thread. I'm a 2nd year PhD student in communication. I'm gonna add you all. Hope you don't mind. What does your diet look like? I'm struggling with it... I sometimes have 12-hour days at the office (plus more work waiting for me once I get home) and I just slip and get some Mac&Cheese from Whole Foods or -…

Nothing terrible compared to what some of you guys experienced. I'm really sorry and I hope for all of you that this year will be better. My bottom line: one failed relationship (including a major disappointment when he made my weightloss a prerequisite for a relationship). several dating disasters, but nothing…

Couldn't face the facts just yet.. But I'll be in Africa for two weeks without a scale and without a possibility to track. So I'm planning to just update it once I'm back in the States.

I'd say you're maybe a little older than me. I'm 27 so I'd say 28 or 29? Please don't be offended if I'm completely wrong. I had people tell me I look my age or older, but when I bought my first car a few months ago I also had people ask me if I am graduating high school *lol* I definitely don't take it personally if…

If there's one thing I've learned about men: If you have to wonder whether they "like" you or not, they DON'T. I know this hurts. I'm sorry. But I think most guys will agree with me. Even the shy guy next door will find some way to communicate their feelings. "Busy" doesn't count. No man is EVER too busy to show a woman…

Maybe people here are talking about two different things: Dating/hooking up and having a serious relationship... Of you're looking for someone to show off at a business event or to hook up with a couple of times, looks are what matters most obviously. If you're looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with, looks…

There are countless scientific studies from various sources telling you that superfoods are not any healthier than other healthy foods of the same category. Also - and that surprised me as well - antioxidants may sound great and healthy, but they don't really do anything for your body. After reading the literature I…

What helped me a few years ago when I went to the gym regularly (and had more time) was to see it as a "spa." I did my workout, then took a shower, maybe went to the steam room if I had time, shaved my legs, put on lotion, maybe a quick face mask etc. That really helped me get motivated because it was like pampering…

I used to do and read research in this area and there is actually only one scientifically proven (and legal *g*) way to get rid of a bad mood and relieve stress: exercise. It has been compared to sex, eating, chocolate, venting etc... And nothing was as successful as exercise. That being said, I definitely need to be…

There are some great tips you gave me. Thanks ladies :)) My gym is only about 4-10minutes (depending on traffic) from my home, so theoretically I could even go home and shower/get ready there as usual... But I feel this would give me another set of excuses not to work out (gas, traffic, etc...).

Anybody?

I also bought some from Whole Foods yesterday... I hated the smell of it... uagh... I am very particular when it comes to smell and I definitely don't like this one. I haven't tasted it yet. Trying it in my coffee tomorrow... I looked up some recipes online. Maybe if you don't like it in your smoothie (how much did you put…

I lost all the chemical additives an American consumes over the course of a year. However, considering that I try to eat very clean, I might have even lost more than that ;-) I have an elephant's penis to go. Yay! (another sentence that I never thought I would ever say or write *g*)

I dated a guy last year who was very into appearances. I was big then, I still am. But I had already lost 40lbs. So we were talking about diets and what each of us eats etc... So I told him and I said that I had already lost 40lbs. We were just dating for 2 months or so... But his reaction devastated me: I told him I lost…

Whole Foods 'Sinful Smoked Mozzarella Pasta Salad' 100g are over 300 calories. I EASILY ate 1,500 calories in a single meal when I had this more regularly and before caring about nutritional value of food...

I'm not hungry at all in the morning. What I do is drink 2-3 glasses of water on an empty stomach as soon as I wake up. Maybe that's the reason why I don't feel like having a huge breakfast. Try that for a week or so and see how it works. Drinking lots of water definitely can't hurt ;-)

Oh my god... you should have! Of course it's the sole purpose of all our lives to be attractive to every man we run into in pubs, right? I'm actually getting mad right now. People are so incredibly stupid!

Never happened to me and I think it's pretty rude... First of all "skinny" doesn't make people beautiful!!! That's the most important thing to realize. It took me a while to get that myself. But don't get upset about it. If you can use it to your advantage - as motivation or as a thought when you do kickboxing ;-) - then…

I can let you know how "eat more, weigh less" works after week 2. Week 1 has not been much of a loss, but measurements changed. So there is something happening with my body, which is good. Tips that I've heard from other people: switch up your workout routine and drink A LOT (like 20 glasses). I will just keep eating my…
