Cheese. :smile:

^^ This. I know that I have been sabotaged along the way (my whole life) by people who love me, who are comforted by the way things are. When you change physically, they expect that you're changing in other ways too. (which, sometimes is a valid concern, but it shouldn't stop YOU from reaching your goals).

I could never get my husband to eat salads when I first met him. He said it was "rabbit food". True, rabbits like lettuce - maybe because they nibble it into little bits. SO... I chopped the heck out of the salad, some chicken, some hard boiled eggs, carrots, celery, cucumbers and a little shredded cheese. Threw some ranch…

I think a lot of it (cellulite problems) is genetic. I see people who look great, and then they turn around and there IT is. I see people who are packing some poundage, and have smooth, lovely thighs. Go figure. I am convinced - being on the genetically cursed side of this one - that it's better not to fight it. Do the…

Yep, count me in too. When you check MFP before Facebook each time, I think you are a qualified member of the club. :smokin:

I can relate to what you're feeling. I think that it has to do with maybe a little bit of jealousy (for lack of *better* word) - we ALL want to be better than we are right now, and maybe when they see someone having success, it reminds them that they aren't doing as well, or trying as hard, or something like that. In other…

Camie, I'm still trying to figure out how to make the shakes better - so far what's working for me, is the powder, a scoop of fiber, 1/2 c. of almond milk (vanilla flavored), and a bunch of ice. I added 1/2 cup of blueberries once - it was tasty, but there are bits of blueberry to slow things down (maybe that's a good…

LOL!! I just re-started after taking a year off from unrelated injuries and losing my all-time favorite instructor to a competing gym. I recently crossed paths with her and I decided to jump in again! This would be easy, I thought, since I had all the moves. Yeah... no. Time off and lack of fitness has erased my blazing…

Now, this is interesting to me. "Fat Day". I kind of like it. If I call it my Fat Day, perhaps I will be inspired to make better choices, as I indulge in my freedom of choice. I'll still eat the macaroni and cheese (omg, omg, omg) but if it's Fat Day, I'll be reminded to go easy on it, or be FAT again. Hmmm... interesting.…

Okay, I had my hands on this stuff today - and I stood there, reading the label, and wondering "yes, but what does it DO for you?" It's very expensive, but is it really that tasty? Even with little things floating in it? :laugh: What's the story?

I can't seem to tolerate artificial sweeteners at all. Aspartame seems to cause crazy migraines, and to be honest... I really don't like the taste of any zero-calorie sweetener. At all. There's *no* nutritive value in diet soft drinks. They don't taste *that* great, unless you like that sort of chemical taste. I DO…

^^^ THIS ^^^ Well, that... and avoiding chemicals wherever possible. Meat doesn't scare me. Eggs don't scare me. Dairy doesn't scare me. BHT/BHA, Aspartame, MSG, and artificial colorings... those scare the crap out of me. :noway:

I have an online weight watchers membership - which I NEVER look at. I think it's good, if you need tools (to log food, exercise, water) and you don't know *what* to eat. I can't quite wrap my head around calculating points, and it just seems so much easier to me to just count the calories. I think the tools/logs here are…

Hey Jenn - it's been a month, how did your first 30 days go? I'm just getting started here (can I say how much I LOVE myfitnesspal? No, I don't think I can say enough!) and am just starting the Arbonne thing. Four days in: so far, so good. Ionis - how are YOU doing with it? Did you get the chews? I have the chocolate ones,…
