Steak by Mark Schatzker. Great book about steak in Texas, Japan, Argentina, France, Scotland (and more). Fun and informative. And a Canadian writer! +1.

i wear them when i want! usually dog walking or grocery store.

dragon age origins! i made a derpy rogue. very fun.

i carried in four giant bags of groceries, four pack of Trois Pistols, and a 40lb pack of dog food from car, elevator, up to my apartment in one trip. I squat 110lbs, dead lift 60kg. also my arms look badass in strapless dresses.

"did eating at 1200 calories help me when i stalled?" nope.

word.

Quick answer from me, but I had plateaued at 160 for over a year. I did a Whole30 and lost 10lbs in one month. http://whole30.com/

:drinker:

I quit cold turkey 2 - 3 years ago, after smoking for 4 years. I was too stubborn to allow myself to fail. Having friends and a S/O who don't smoke helps too.

I have loose leaf tea, usually matcha in the morning which I blend with a bamboo whisk. I sometimes make a matcha latte, with a tsp of sugar and whisked milk (no water in the lattes). I also love black tea (earl grey especially!!). But for regular tea, I almost never add milk and sugar. The thought turns my stomach, milky…

^^ +1 also i love the assassins creed series, i've played 1 + 2 and am dying for black flag WHY SO EXPENSIVE STEAM!!!

I usually ignore!! Especially on facebook, I filter out a lot of people who I know are very religious.

no idea, but in for the answers!! i love ethiopian.

I'm recently married (7 - 8 months) but been together over five years. I was the one who didn't care about marriage, didn't ever want to BE married, but his role in my life changed my mind. At some point I realized I didn't want to be without him, couldn't imagine my life without him, and that he was my best friend. I…

Late to the game, but Bioshock Infinite! Got it during the steam sale recently and love it.

My social life also took a nosedive when I was dieting, can't have wings and beer 2 - 3 nights a week! My solution was get my current friends to do more active stuff I like, like paintball, hiking or working out. And then I made new friends who are more fit & active. My current friends have said I've been a great influence…

^^^ this. i5 @ 3.40Ghz, GTX 770, 8GB ram. huge dislike :explode: edit: my husband and i built this computer. it was pricey...

eggs

i love tims, cheap tea!

walking and mint.

definitely look up some recipes to be precise about your substitutions, but i frequently add in 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder to a boxed brownie mix. the chocolate flavor is much more intense, but i do take them out of the oven a little sooner because the powder can make the brownies dry. good luck!!

As others have said, Thai Kitchen coconut milk is a great brand. The So Delicious ones have a bunch of junk added to them. One warning, when I was on my whole30 I added 2 T of coconut milk to my coffee every morning. I ended up getting very bad cystic acne (3 - 4 active ones). I found out later it was possibly due to the…

i agree with others. if you're not losing weight, you aren't logging correctly. a scale could help you a lot, i lost 50lbs by eyeballing portions and then i got a scale because i plateaued for a year. i was SO WRONG on portion sizes. being off by 200 calories a day on logging adds up. agree with reduce your sodium intake,…

i weigh before. who has time to weigh stuff when it's hot and ready to be eaten?!

i'm a sugar addict! i tried the whole30 in january and that helped open my eyes to how added sugar is in a lot of foods, and it helped me refocus my diet on feeling good, not tasting good things. i haven't heard of that book you cited though. my tips? limit condiments with sugar (heinz ketchup, a lot of mustards, a lot of…

I have found it much easier to lose weight while eating ~100 carbs a day, most days. I still eat whatever veggies I want, any fruits I want. But I try to limit bread to 1x a day. So I'll have a bagel with breakfast, or a roll for my steak sandwich, but not both. And some days I won't have any bread stuffs. I do have blood…

i know etsy is FULL of awesome stuff...but i just got some items from https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/geeniejay# and i am super pleased with them! i picked up the beemo necklace, totoro earrings and a calcifer necklace.

community, downton abbey, the wire, IT crowd, buffy, parenthood, rick & morty and adventure time are some i'm watching right now. agree with GoT and OITNB too!!

avocados are great. i have them with breakfast with eggs and hot sauce, or mash them up on a burger or chicken for dinner/lunch. also really good over salads, and i've heard of some fruit smoothies where you mix in avocado to thicken it up. and the butters! almond butter with an apple, almond butter straight out of the…

^^ yes.
