  • Coffee. Also, oddly, Kiwi fruit. Constipation is a common ailment during pregnancy and kiwi fruit saved me a lot of pain.
  • I would insist that as a guest in their home, I be allowed to cook a few of the meals, just to say thank you for their hospitality. Then I would bring ingredients for a few tasty and healthy meals. Then I would eat their food the rest of the time and just try to limit my portions of the really bad stuff.
  • This. It really is great. I drizzle on a tablespoon of honey when I feel decadent and call it "Elvis" oatmeal.
  • My calorie allotment is 1400 per day, so I just sort of work some of what I want in. Today I was well under my calorie allotment so I let myself have a skinny cow ice cream sandwich and one very decadent mug of hot chocolate. 100 calorie bags of pop secret popcorn are great for when I'm craving salty...also claussen dill…
  • Feminists don't have anything against pink as a general rule, nor do they want a gender neutral society. :happy: They want a society where people are free to be as they choose and marketers don't shove the idea down my daughters throat that in order to be ok, she has to be pretty and sweet and soft and want to dress like a…
  • I have an endocrine disorder that makes loosing weight pretty challenging...so I kind of get where you are coming from. That having been said, if you are super accurate in measuring your intake, and you are working out consistently, it will come off. My ticker shows that I have lost 30lbs...but I started loosing weight…
  • OMG I so wish that I could get away with wearing one in public! I sweat like a politician hooked up to a lie detector. :) I'm thinking about just wearing a bandana on my head so that it covers my forehead & keeps my hair under control too. Does the job and looks a little less Jane Fonda...know what I'm sayin'?
  • In for opinions! About to start lifting myself. ;)
  • If you are also working out, it could totally be related to that. I'm interested to know what other people thing on this as my eczema has been flaring lately also?
  • Have you ever been on 4chan?:)
  • I find it creepy too. I would punch my husband if he suggested it. That being said, different strokes for different folks and all that. Whatever works for other people.
  • Yay!!! Add me tooooo! I am sometimes funny, but mostly I just like it when other people are. :)
  • Sadly, there isn't much treatment for the hair thing. There are some creams that your doctor can prescribe that some people have success with. My approach for hair in the areas you describe would be to go get waxed on a regular basis. The waxing will, over time, inhibit the hair growth, and having it removed will help you…
  • I sometimes have a whey based protein shake with skim milk as a snack, to make sure I'm getting plenty of protein, on days when I'm pretty far away from my calorie goals. It helps me feel sated. I don't use them as a meal replacement though. My tummy needs FOOD. lol Shakes don't make me feel full, so they wouldn't work for…
  • That is so awesome! Good for you!
  • My favorite salad dressing is a sprinkle of salt to bring out the flavor of the veggies. Also, sometimes I throw on a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of lowfat cottage cheese with a little salt and pepper.
  • It sounds like the medical experience you had was very emotionally traumatic for you?? Do you think that is effecting your mental state now with regards to your workouts?
  • As I understand it.... The goal of 1200cal per day is to create a calorie deficit below what your body actually burns during the course of your day. How low your goal calories are is determined by how much you are trying to loose per week. If you burn an extra 500 calories on top of your normal daily living through running…
  • I have it also! It's a pain in my a**! I honestly don't know nearly enough about it, considering that I HAVE it though. I was on metformin for awhile but often had episodes of mild hypoglycemia as a result (shaking, feeling a little confused, etc) and that was the end of that for me. It apparently runs in my family as my…
  • awesome! Sounds yummy.
  • The only thing I tend to get pissed at myself about is lack of discipline. I look the way I look...I don't hate me, but I do want to change the appearance of me a bit. I do however get mad if I don't pre-plan/pre cook my meals because I know that I need to. I get mad if my run doesn't go as well as I think it should...then…
  • I have no idea if this will help you or not. I have a friend who recently married a lovely woman with daughters...one of whom was overweight. This friend runs every single day. He started taking the girls running with him around a local school track on sunday mornings. He told them that he has to run so that he can have…
  • chicken salad with red grapes, bits of apple, celery and non-fat yogurt or low-fat mayo (or a blend of the two).
  • Hey! I have a little more than that to loose, but have already actually lost more than that also, so perhaps I would be of help? (my ticker doesn't show all the weight I lost before I joined MFP, but I've lost about 65lbs total so far.)
  • I tend to eat larger meals and not snack much between them, but when I do snack I like popcorn, hummus and pretzels, fruit...crunchy things that are either sweet or salty. I just bought a package of skinny cow ice cream bars tonight to help me manage my ice cream addiction though. :)
  • There's lots of fitness activity you can do inside your house, but the only way to train to run, is to run. I guess you could try running in place for long periods of time, really get your knees high...that would be a little bit like running...but the only real training for running is running. Sorry if you don't like the…
  • I work swing shift, so anytime I'm home at dinner time it's a treat to my husband and my daughter to have me cook! lol Apparently my husband won't be winning top chef anytime soon. I use my days off to prepare really good meals for my family and to pre-prep things I will need for the week to come. My biggest challenge is…
  • salad with strawberries, walnuts and crumbled bacon. Super tasty.
  • I stir in peanut butter, slice up a banana over top and drizzle with a tablespoon of honey. It's oatmeal that Elvis would be proud of.
