Blindness with Julianne Moore.

I get my powder from Smoothie King, they've manufactured their own. It's called Gladiator. Love the vanilla for fruit smoothies and pancakes. And the chocolate tastes like an oreo to me.

1/2 cup for 40 grams

Chicken, Pomodoro, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes, beans, parmesan over pasta in a bowl. What's your favorite mixup?

Start with elevated pushups and work your way down. The only way to get better at pushups is to actually do them consistently. I found when I stopped doing them, my arm strength reverted pretty quickly.

Did you wear your shoes regularly for those 3-4 years? If so, definitely time to look into some new ones. If you've never done it, I recommend getting your feet analyzed to see what would work best for you. And sad to say, the ones that might work best aren't always the prettiest. lol.

Perhaps what you need is a pet that supports your vegan lifestyle, like a rabbit. A cat is obviously not the best fit for your family.

That statement does not apply to you, as you do not have your calories set up to follow MFP guidelines. As to why you aren't losing weight, are you weighing your food and does your activity still closely match how you calculated it for your TDEE?

I'm still wearing the baggy stuff, though I've finally been able to buy two new pairs of work pants. I was using safety pins to cinch in the old ones, why don't dress pants have belt loops?? I have no idea where to shop anymore! I always did my shopping at Lane Bryant and was a reliable size there. When I went on the hunt…

You are definitely not eating enough calories for the activity you're doing. So either consume more food, or reduce your activity. Aim for a deficit no more than 1000, and really I'd probably do no more than 500, but it sounds like you want a more aggressive plan than that. If you have trouble getting in the calories,…

Something else you have to remember with MFP, the calories they set for you are BASE calories. If you use their set up, your deficit is already built into the calories they set for you. If you do any exercise, you are supposed to eat those calories back to maintain your set deficit, otherwise you're just building a bigger…

I also weigh in Sunday mornings, because it's the day after my rest day to give my body a chance to let go off some water. I weigh in every time I go to the gym, and would notice fluctuations throughout the week. But no matter if I was up 3lbs on Tuesday, I would always be back down, and even at a loss by Sunday.

I'm 5'5 and started at 225. It's been over a year and I'm only at 37 lbs lost. I exercise consistently, tried lifting, tried c25k. I took September and December off from logging, I didn't gain during that time, but I wasn't actively losing either. How much you lose, is up to you. But realistically I would allow for .5-1 lb…

Try shopping the produce section of your grocery store and getting something in every color of the rainbow.

You'd think it was healthy, until you add up everything. My chicken piada bowl is close to 900 calories...a pepperoni piada stick is like 840 all on its own!

A tablespoon of Biscoff spread and strawberries. OMG! I crave this and can't wait until breakfast the next day. Also a tablespoon of neutella and raspberries. I used to use quick oats and have recently switched to old fashioned. NEVER going back!

I didn't start this program until I'd been exercising regularly for over a year. I could easily go an hour on an elliptical and felt I had pretty good stamina. That being said, running is a whole other beast. I was around 200 lbs when I started and found running outside much easier than mashing treadmill buttons every…

I went with the Polar FT60 for it's built in training program and fitness test. The fitness test give you a OWNindex number, basically your VO2 max, that when entered with the rest of your information is supposed to give you a more accurate calculation of calories burned.

I only log my weight on Sunday mornings, everything else is fluctuation.

Based on the amount of exercise you're doing, I also suggest you try upping your calories a bit. Add a couple hundred to your 1400, especially on days you lift. Do you eat back you exercise calories at all? Make sure you're eating back some at the very least.

The Polar FT80 was designed with lifting in mind. Look into that model.

If you have you calories set as a deficit from your TDEE you are not supposed to eat back your exercise calories unless you exercise so much it causes you to net below your bmr. Your exercise is already supposed to be included in your TDEE calculation.

You know, occassionally, companies change their recipes. That doesn't mean the food entry gets updated on the website. It's a user-created database! ^^This. And there are also various package sizing.

You can click on the Reports tab at the top and select progress and it will show a graph of your weight loss, It's not very detailed, I prefer to enter my information into an excel spreadsheet.

I'm currently on 100 mcg of levothyroxine. Was started out at 25 mcg and it was a slooooooow process to finally get leveled out. 2.5 years I think. I had to keep requesting blood work every few months. My doctor seemed content to just give me the initial dose and let me go on my way.

I record weight including the bar. The bar at my gym is 45 lbs. Of course I'm going to count that!

I miss birth control. My skin had never been clearer. I didn't have crazy monthly food cravings or extreme mood swings. And I was pretty much cramp free. I went off last april to see if it was the cause of low labido (it wasn't). And OMG I didn't realize how much birth control regulated me. I'm looking to go back on for…

I used the podcasts from nhs.uk. I liked Laura and thought she was helpful and encouraging. Week 7's music was a big downer though, But at that point there aren't anymore intervals, so I just ran with my own music from then on.

Is your glass 8 oz? or larger? How much salad and various items are on your plate? was it a salad plate or a dinner plate? These things make a difference. To find the proper amount of calories you're going to have to weigh or at least measure each item and log them individually.

I think this article is a good primer for Columbus. http://www.designsponge.com/2009/03/columbus-design-guide.html
