Pay attention to when those sugar cravings hit. Is it random during the day, when you are stressed? Is it a specific time, i.e dessert after dinner. Find lower sugar or no sugar alternatives to substitute when they hit. I have a bit of a sweet tooth myself, so I get it. Some of the sugar free stuff is tastes horrible to…

Over time, getting up early to go workout will get easier. After you're used to it, one of the perks on non-workout days is you're up long before everyone else in your household so you can enjoy your coffee, tea, or whatever, in silence and ease into the day. I'm NOT a morning person but I love the quiet on Sundays when I…

My normal dinner is whey protein with Fairlife chocolate milk (more protein) blended with Greek yogurt. 360 cal 57g protein, 21g carb. Of course I could always vary up the flavor with plain milk and diff flavor Greek yogurt, but it's chocolate so...

I 2nd the advice given by ISweat4This. Drink far less water/Coffee/Liquids about an hour before you will be on the bus or traveling (with limited bathroom access). Once you get to your destination, you can drink all the water to your heart's content. I drink 12-20 glasses of water a day and I have to visit the bathroom…

I started with a goal body fat percentage (15%). From that I basically backed into what my weight should be for my height. Of course there's some adjustments to be done as you get closer; accounting for higher muscle density than the average person, increased water saturation due to drinking alot more water, etc. I am…

If you're doing this for any other than reasons of your own, you are focusing on the wrong thing. You take care of YOUR health for YOUR reasons. His health doesn't appear to be as much of a priority to him. Maybe he hasn't found the right "Why." Maybe he's happy with his current physicality. Maybe he doesn't think it's…

you're focusing on the wrong thing. You were out there doing something to improve yourself. It's one thing to lament something about yourself. It's a much more important thing to do something about it. :) On a side note, I wish my workplace had a locker room I could use so I could run during lunch. Kinda jealous. B)

Can't narrow down to just 3:* chicken breast * eggbeaters * breakfast cereal * broccoli * snap peas * Greek yogurt * Soy Slender soy milk * whey protein powder * gallons and gallons of water * chocolate chips it calms the voices in my head

I completely agree with that concept. I've had a hard time breaking through the 160lb mark. I'd come close then go up a few pounds... hovering back and forth. I've been fighting myself for at least 6 months now..Ironically enough, I just stepped on the scale this AM and I officially broke through it: 159.4!!!! :D :D

Prime Filet stuffed with crabmeat. I can still see and taste it after over a decade since I had it from here: Old Warsaw <3

Interesting thing about taxes.. some people will find a way to get around them via a black market or good old fashioned resourcefulness. A few years ago New York state levied a huge tax increase on cigarettes, which made them cost considerably more than the same pack in bordering states. Politicians and bureaucrats were…

Coming in AFTER the pancakes... (How do you even follow that????) For the most part I do eat healthy BUT... bacon is something that must not be ignored.. every Sunday. God gets his due... and the pig must sacrifice for mine... that's how it works. I still find space for pizza, an occasional burger... a giant steak (the cow…

Like Kommodevaran, I have alot of questions. You leave alot of ambiguity with your initial statement that requires more detail. You'll find a great many people on MFP really want to help because we are/have been in the same place. Please provide more information so we can better help.

Why do you think one is exclusionary to the other? Have you seen Misty Copeland?

Weigh myself roughly the same time every day.. in the same condition.. freshly showered.. in the same condition I came into this world.

Have you tried any of the stuff made with Splenda. Some don't like it, but I do. Sometimes my "sweet tooth" becomes a raving beast so I have to satisfy it somehow and this takes off that edge but without as much of the bad effects. There are some other natural sweeteners on the market that taste the same and your body…

Jenny (OP), First, I sent you a FR and am happy to lend whatever advice you'd like. Now for the core of the subject: If you're a "numbers/data" girl. Then this will help explain it. * All that is meant by deficit is burning more calories that what you consume. You need a total calorie deficit of 3000 cals per week to lose…

To the OP, I see a slightly different take on the text (but still not a positive one). First, something like that should NEVER be sent as a text, or email, or written word. It's far too easy to interpret a different message than what was intended. Even if spoken, it's a tricky thing, depending on context intended. It…

You can find Shirataki noodles at Asian markets. They're typically in a refridgerated section, near tofu and the like. I like them. They do have a "ocean " odor if not rinsed very thoroughly, because of the solution it's stored in, so they're best consumed with a bolder sauces, i.e marinara, and flavors. A 2 serving bag is…

My recommendation is to set it at what your calorie burn is for 0 activity/exercise. The logic being, any exercise will be contributing to your goal versus counting it in and then not doing it for whatever reason life provides (sickness, injury, crazy day, kids sick, etc.) 1) Get a scale and weigh EVERYTHING. It will also…

I'm pretty sure the OP wasn't quite expecting some of the responses. Many people have also responded while including their own assumptions into the nature of the guy. In the United States, we see it perfectly acceptable for a considerably older man to date a younger woman (age difference of 5+ years). While the reverse has…

45. Open diary... and I'm on daily: currently on a 489 day streak. Feel free to add me.

It's all fun and games til someone gets beaten to death with a bat. :) We can guess and speculate all we want, just so long as TWD keeps staying interesting. I still think the show should stick to the original premise of the graphic novels; That no character is safe. Anyone can die.

I've seen a few pumpkin pancake recipes out there. I adapted several of them to make my own version. I made this this weekend and they were scrumptious. Feel free to try them or adapt them however you like. :) Pumpkin Buttermilk Pancakes- Yield: 12 pancakes Ingredients • 1½ cups buttermilk • 1 cup pumpkin puree • 1/3 cup…

OP: So if I understand this scenario, here's it in summary; A co-worker (who may or may not be a real "friend") said he wasn't seeing any results from you going to the gym 2-3 times a week "when you can", and called you "fat". You took offense at the time because your feelings were hurt & attempt to defend yourself by…

I don't consider it cheating, but it's not the best solution. The surgery does nothing to address the causes for being overweight. If those aren't confronted and resolved, they'll be right back in the same situation some time later.

Maybe the flags are because someone remembered that Bryan Adams song "Back in the summer of 1609" I know I was never fond of it...
