Work in an ice cream shop! I'm only half joking-- I worked at one in high school and became so sick of ice cream, I still rarely eat it now 5 years later. Maybe you could substitute it for something else sweet? Or at least a healthier version, like fat-free frozen yogurt.

I only use cash if I have to. Touching coins kindof grosses me out... they always make your hands smell metallic, and who knows where they've been. :sick:

Single :bigsmile:

I usually have a Greek yogurt and cup of coffee. If I'm still hungry I'll have a packet of instant oatmeal or protein bar too.

Yup, I read them all. Takes me quite a while to buy my food, but luckily I find grocery shopping oddly relaxing, so I don't mind. :happy:

You think right :bigsmile:

I track fat, carbs, protein, fiber, and sodium. I wish MFP didn't make us choose though : /

I would say take it slower. When I started jogging, I could seriously only run for about 10 seconds before I got bad shin pain, and I wasn't even overweight! I think it's a matter of getting your leg muscles used to the impact, especially if you're jogging on hard terrain. So start slow, and gradually work your way up to…

I feel for you-- it's hard watching people you care about acting self-destructively. Here's hoping he comes around on his own. In the meantime, like the above poster said, I would put away a separate portion for yourself, and let him have his own little amount. Just make it clear that when he's finished his, he can't move…

I was wondering what caused my butt to mushroom up to twice its original size. Why didn't I suspect those darn pilates?!? To make it worse doing yoga really lengthened my muscles, and now my arms nearly drag on the ground :sad:

I know Dominos has a nutrition calculator on their website where you pick all the toppings, etc. on your pizza. You could try using that and see what it estimates.

I tend to attract hyper - committed "nice guys" who usually have similar interests but opposite personalities of mine. Really sweet, low key, usually clueless, not big on partying.... But ultimately a bit clingy and boring.

:laugh:

It certainly is yummier, imo ^_^ I've always been led to believe dark meat is less healthy, but decided to look it up and found this: http://www.fitsugar.com/Turkey-Talk-White-Meat-vs-Dark-Meat-806250 Not as big a difference in calories and fat than I would have guessed.

Bump to read later~~~~

Moaaaaar pics of awkward legs please! These are too funny :laugh:

This one annoys me a little: "You're lucky you're so thin!" I mean, I appreciate the compliment, but I work my butt off to be in shape! It's not about luck! I think it's one part genetics to 9 parts nutrition/exercise/lifestyle.

Not a negative, for me :laugh:

From what I've gathered from my own friends, and you know, the media etc. Etc. :smile: more women may be critical of their bodies than men. Shocking revelation, I know :bigsmile: At the very least I think it's fair to say more women are open to expressing their body insecurities in a public space like MFP. But I think the…

From what I've been led to believe, a heart rate monitor is only accurate when your heart rate is elevated (e.g. working out). It's not meant to be worn for extended periods of time to calculate how many calories are burned in a day. You can search online for equations to calculate your basal metabolic rate and then use…

I love me some Grande Iced Skinny Caramel Macchiato.

If you make the mistake of lending him rent money and he takes over a year to pay you back.

I buy a lot of my clothes from Express. They have tall pants sizes for both jeans and business pants, usually in stock in stores. They might have tall tops and dresses on their website too, but their regular tops fit me fine. I'm 5'10, btw.

What *wouldn't* I spend it on? Seriously, every time I visit that site I'm basically saying, "Here, ThinkGeek, please take all my money. It's my go to when I'm buying gifts for friends, nerdy family members, or myself... As I'm typing this I realized I'm wearing the Star Wars earrings from there right now. And I have their…

I almost always eat dinner around 9 pm and consume a large percentage of my daily calories in the evening/at night. I lost weight this way and have been maintaining for a couple months now. The key to it is that I stay within my calorie limits. Eat on whatever schedule works best for you, and if that involves eating late…

Bagel chips dipped in veggie cream cheese :blushing:

Stay hydrated, snack on low calorie items like fruits and veggies, and try to get a lot of protein and fiber.

I like Think Thin bars, which have 20g protein and no sugar; Luna bars, which taste great and there are tons of interesting flavors; Pure Protein bars and shakes, which have no sugar, and the shakes have 35g protein for 170 calories, which is the best ratio I've found yet; and lastly Lara bars, if you're looking for a bar…

BUUUUUUMP!!! Will be making these fo' sho'.
