omg yes, the toaster is what makes them feel gourmet - mmmm warm gooo

you will not like it then. you have to just think of it as filler that you use to get your cals and save the good ones for something more yum. It is not pasta. it is not like pasta. by the time you dehydrated it to anything like pasta you would just fling it at a wall. but if you want to use it as a less cal vehicle to…

bacon and every veg I can pair it with. chicken thighs baked with a super thin coating of hidden valley light ranch and breadcrumbs with italian seasoning. omg. NOM.

things I have learned in this thread: 1) I would fling a cat very far to get a hold of that piece of meat, I'm waiting for dinner and am bloody starving 2) I am cancelling my trip to Nigeria, all of the email money has caused cannibalism 3) I have the same cat as dbmata and it is cheating on both of us

I love food and drinks and need a better balance of the two which includes activity. simple as that.

Alright - Irish with the accompanying carb.salty addictions but living in Canada where I've now been seduced by ketchup chips, poutine and the like. Very unhelpful even if delicious :( One day I will turn that into a mud churning mud defying machine :fistinair:

Everything SLAP said above, including and very importantly the rules part! We are here to support and that includes people getting to the goal of a TM at some point in 2015, so lets not leave anyone behind (thinking mainly of myself here to be honest ;-)) We will be behind everyone's goals, and we are also looking for…

:heart:

seeing your diary might be helpful in how to offer encouragement - is how you have conducted the first 6 weeks sustainable? good Luck either way, get back at it tmw!

Great tuesday stories! I left work 3 hrs late and still had a bunch of errands and was starving - I held it together and was able to make it home without grabbing fast food like I was afraid I would - vicotry is mine, greasy yummy burgers!

omg but you can have it!! you can have 10!!

Age 30, hit 40 this summer and would lime to be a ways along my journey by then. Sw- 210.5 Gw- 145\155, will reassess at 155 cw 205 Doing TDEE and not throwing myself into activity right now but will over the coming weeks

So glad you were able to break the habit, and you are wonderful for sharing what worked for you, hopefully it will give someone hope!

Conceesion stands for my City at both the baseball diamonds, pools and hockey arenas - always a good time. That ties with working in a photo lab...also very very fun days. man things were so simple back then.

getting on your roof to put up a tarp in advance of major rain and having your ladder blow over leaving you up there for a couple of hours in advance of major rain! p.s. you should get a hot water bottle to keep under the blanket....mmm so warm and cozy! wont help with the cold air after a shower though :(

Just make sure you track them, so try and keep count. I've been doing some vodka and crystal light water but making sure I track all my alcohol either way.

if you've more of a fondness for salty than sweet, try roasting the veggies (some of my faves for this are portabello caps and red peppers) and then slice, mix and top with some feta. mmm salty flavoury goodness.

This is Phase One of the master plan. When you are sufficiently snowed in Phase Two will begin.

Meanwhile in Canada we have been having winter weather this winter.

I still have bills and a job and a driveway to shovel. Now overall my quality of live has improved since I got this about 15 yrs ago but I think that's because of hard work, not the tattoo. So no major life change here either way because of it. Maybe I did it wrong!

TY for reposting here - I'm signing up at a gym for the first time in many many years, and even those previous times I failed out because of exactly what was described here. Perfect timing, I needed this to make sure I go through with it next week!

Thank you!! Alll of what you said is what I figured it would be like for me, I'm just not really motivated by those kinds of things so i think it would be a waste for me, appreciate your answer!

mine is open, kinda boring but you might get some ideas. there is a gap from about July 2012 to now but you can go back there and see if anything sounds good.

Thank you also! Both your NSV are fantastic, I can't wait to report on when I see a pretty decent one, hopefully soonm but also aware these things take time! Love reading all of these, very inspiring!

TY and that is definitely a great NSV, congrats!

what does NSV mean?:embarassed:

I can't choose just one so I'll have to go with cheese stuffed bread fried in wine and served with gravy. I know that makes no sense but neither does having to choose only one >:(

TYTY, and congratulations on being so close to goal, inspiring :smile:

I already feel like a tonne of bricks has been lifted off my shoulders! It's only been a few days but it was like a magical switch that turned me from being resentful to happy to particpate in this needed change! I will know how effective in the coming months, and expect change to be a bit slower but WAY more sustainable…
