Reframe the situation in your mind. It is extremely important you understand the concept of "water weight". When people travel, eat foreign food, eat out a lot, are under stress due to family/traveling etc., sometimes you retain water. And that's okay. So many of my friends on here complain about weight gained while on…

sliced/slivered almonds, chia seeds! i also like adding frozen fruit, gives it more of a consistency than just mushy yogurt. I slice my bananas up, put them in the freezer, or use frozen blueberries.

welcome!! lots of good information stickied on the main forum.

i like adding butter and sliced almonds for green bean almondine.

in for troll gifs!

exercise is never useless! swimming calms me, if nothing else it's great for my emotional well being.

this is interesting to me. i have hypoglycemia, which is why you can see my breakfasts are always lots of protein and fat. i think you probably have become more sensitive to caffeine, when i started eating better i became more sensitive to smells, taste (i cant stand salty food now!!) and stimulants. even a half cup of…

^^ he knows what he's talking about, solid advice.

yes. i eat a lot! eggs, bacon, avocado, hot sauce and a protein shake mixed with ice and frozen bananas.

i always sleep better and for longer after i've had an orgasm...:laugh: just sayin'! i also purposefully wind down at about 10:00, i turn off the lights, keep my tea lights on which are a soft light, and read a book for half an hour. but i still will wake up before my alarm, which is why i try to get in bed earlier, as it…

i don't think i've read that either! OP's article does feel a bit like a shaming post. as my best friend and her whole family have issues with gluten, i love that we can go out to restaurants again and she hasn't had to quiz the server on preparation methods and ingredients. those handy little "GF" signs do all the work.

dark crystal, secret of nimh and watership down. oh and water world!

me too! my friend says you become used to the taste, but i'd rather have regular water, or a coconut milk thai ice tea or something.

i eat half a banana.

i would have no problem with it. i went to a strip club when dating my current BF and the strippers actually didn't like me because i was giggling so much during the lap dance. i think it killed the vibe ;)

i made progress on my OHP! after months of none at all!! *dance*

I think you could be more specific? My anxiety has improved since exercising, I have more energy, which means I need to workout harder since excess energy makes me anxious.

hahahaha me likey. in general, no, i don't. if i really feel tired, i'll lower the intensity, but i still go to the gym. i can't lift as much during my period, i think because my hormones are out of whack. i thought about it once, and if i took it easy all week, every month, that's 25% less training a month. that adds up…

also this. just get in your car, are you gonna be the silly person sitting in their car not going anywhere, or are you driving to the gym?

if external motivators aren't working for you, develop an internal one. i have dragged my cute butt to the gym both times this week when i didn't want to go (TOM) but i ALWAYS feel better afterwards, and am happy i went. i'm sure i'll feel just as drowsy tomorrow for my set workout, but i am committed, and i am going.…

YUM! thanks for sharing

ME ME ME! I love eureka. I don't think I saw the last season, but I remember watching it when it first premiered on SyFy, and it blew my mind. Such a fun, quirky, character driven show with amazing talent and serious writer balls.

the #1 thing which helped me, was using my left/weaker hand to put on the clamps for weights. after a couple days of forcing myself to do that, my grip strength much improved. but also one over, one under helps too!

simplicity, and as i understand it, NROLFW busts a lot of misconceptions and kind of pumps you up, letting you know you can do it. i already knew i could do it :)

because when shopping with my sister looking for a new handbag, my #1 criteria was "it needs to be be able to fit at least one of my giant books!"

i was happy to read that this morning =) but serious fail with voting rights act. but this makes me forgive them a little bit. still want to egg scalia's house. what a turd.

of course. saves toilet paper!

primal fudge. 1/2 cup honey (i use local) 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted) 1/2 cup natural peanut butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. melt it all up, let it cool some, pour into 10 lined cupcake tins. freeze. makes deliciousness. then i put more PB on top! it's a better tasting reeses

HRM aren't accurate unless you are engaging in steady state cardio. so please don't use those counts, use MFP counts for anything not steady state. also i don't log cleaning, but i don't clean thoroughly or often.
