19? ;)

Keep boiled eggs in the fridge, make and freeze protein pancakes then microwave them and eat them folded over on a few banana slices like a sandwich, a healthy toast with a tad bit of honey, make some egg muffins and keep in the fridge. They reheat really well.

Your entire argument went out the window when you had a diet coke. Way worse than Splenda. Now nothing you said makes any sense. I think you might be on meth.

Ummm, only one of her children is named after a country. Maybe you need a map ;) lol

Wow, your symptoms sounds exactly like a friend of mine who just got diagnosed with gastroparesis after being sick for years. She had ad immediate feeling of fullness when she ate any amount even though she was still hungry along with nausea and severe abdominal pain. It progressed to the point that she now goes months…

What's porridge?

Thank you!! I hate when people tell me that if I complain that I gained a couple lbs. No, there is no way I am building that much muscle that fast. Plus, I have so much weight to lose. I STILL need to be getting lighter. I would have to build a ridiculous amount of muscle to weigh 180 and have a healthy percent body fat.

Just buy a few cheap things every month or two weeks. I hit up Kohl's, Target, and resale shops. I refuse to look like crap until I reach my goal. I wanna feel good about how I look. No way am I punishing myself for all the progress I have made. I actually enjoy clothes shopping now. I think you should let yourself get a…

Mine was $8 at Kroger. It's not digital. What's special about the fancy, expensive, digital ones? I may want to upgrade later if there is a significant difference.

I have never bought fresh/raw meat, fruit, or veggies with a nutrition label. That's the main reason I got a food scale. Food scales should include grams as well as ounces so you should be able to find an MFP entry that has at least one or the other.

This exactly. When I eat the same number of calories everyday (or close to the same) I stop losing weight after a while. The only way to fix it is to eat more for a week or so and splurge a little, then go back to what I was eating. To avoid this I am just going to switch up how many calories I eat throughout the week and…

From someone who buried 2 family members in 2011 I definitely do not see it as disrespectful. As long as they are quiet, on the paths, and respectful of people grieving I think it's fine. Lots of people run in cemeteries. Totally not an issue of respect, IMO and I can't find anything on cemetery etiquette that says it is…

Well it does offer valuable nutrients like iron and protein so I am not sure why those wouldn't be valuable to you. There may be other sources of those that are lower in bad cholesterol and fat but that doesn't make ground beef "bad" all-together. There is nothing wrong with not eating it but if you like it it does have…

I usually do it in my undergarments. I do it when I am changing my clothes in the morning so I am already down to those. I don't feel like taking everything off every time. I have actually weighed myself back to back -undies on, undies off- just to test it, and it makes no difference.

Eat more veggies? I wouldn't worry too much about it but if you really wanna correct it that's my only suggestion.

Where are the critics of a healthy diet of whole foods and exercise?

She can definitely eat healthy, whole foods along with you. That would be great for her and the baby. She may get to have more than you but there's no reason she can't get on board and eat a super healthy diet with you. Now would be a great time for her to do that and be supportive of you at the same time. Also, if she is…

What is wrong with everyone? You never eat livestock that died from unknown causes! It IS totally different than a slaughtered animal. It is incredibly stupid and unsafe. That said I don't believe that story. I cook with cream of chicken on occasion and don't plan on stopping.

I think it is different for different people. I think some people have super efficient metabolisms and if they lower their calorie intake their body is quick to compensate and use less to function. That slows their weight loss. Some people's bodies are kinder and don't make that adjustment, making weight loss easier. I…

For one that extra 100 calories is already calculated into your daily calories burned and secondly I think most of us are creating a much larger deficit than that so even 100 calories over my goal would still leave me with a huge deficit.

Yay :D

A cup of coffee with 2 tbsp skim milk or unsweet almond milk and 2 packets of truvia. No real health benefits there but if you really just need something to make your stomach feel full in between meas it works great for me.

I'm 24, new to MFP, and also could use some support over here :D
