you're a true beast... :o

I love it all indiscriminately. :3

That's a good rule... I do a lot of driving, and most of it is through little towns that don't have 24-hour anything. There have been a few times when in the middle of a long road trip I have become desperately hungry, but the only thing open in a 2-hour radius is a gas station. "Sandwiches" are often the only real food…

Canned ravioli... :sick: So good, yet so bad. My boyfriend is crazy about anchovies. He puts them on everything. It's so strange, and it makes our kitchen smell like fish, but I love him anyway. :laugh:

That's actually a really good idea... :indifferent:

CAKE. Or eclairs. Or black-and-white cookies. Or danishes.... \(♥o♥)/

I definitely focus on my weekly goals more! I try to stay within close range on my daily goals, but some days I just don't have much of an appetite. At first I would force myself to eat when I wasn't really hungry, but now I just don't worry about it... I let myself make up the difference on those days where I'm feeling…

you can't fake a smile like that. :smile: congratulations! :flowerforyou:

this is so sweet. :')

Ah! Even when they're in season?That's highway robbery! :noway:

I admit to being a bacon fiend.

^^^ Exactly. If you are modifying the genes of an organism, it is genetic modification. People just associate the term "genetically modified" with laboratory intervention and not traditional methods. It's a semantic difference, not a functional one. That's why labeling GMOs is a little ridiculous. Most of what you will…

When I say that genetic engineering has been around for thousands of years, I am referring to breeding and plant cloning and the like. The food we eat has always been "genetically modified", just through lengthy and careful cultivation.

Cherries and raspberries are so expensive here, even when they're in season. It makes my pie-baking habit so expensive when the filling alone costs $24. :brokenheart: I'm seeing a lot of people bringing up beef and limes... I guess I should be thankful that I live where I do. That stuff has always been affordable here. I…

I can't recall ever referring to myself or my diet as "clean"... But I always defined the word in my head as just "anything that's not greasy fast food". :embarassed:

oh no :frown: You should put a band-aid on it. I bet that will make it feel better. :flowerforyou: The word of thousands of kids can't be wrong. :glasses:

Genetic engineering of food sources has absolutely been around for tens of thousands of years. We engineer crops to be disease resistant, frost resistant, easier to process/peel, more flavorful, more colorful... The only difference is that in the past decade, more of that has been happening in a lab. Rather than spending…

Okay... I'm about to blow your mind. Are you ready?! When you make bacon, filter and save the grease in a mason jar. Then, next time you steam/grill/boil veggies, just add a spoon full of that instead of butter or olive oil. It makes all of your vegetables taste like bacon... :love: :love: :love: I usually don't use as…

honors. :)

I'm focusing more on body fat percentage than weight. However, to get a better idea of how far away that is, I took my lean mass and calculated what my weight would be at around 20% body fat. The most important thing is to get to a place where I'm happy with how I look and feel. :smile:

My hero.. :love:

I think it is sound advice to not worry about your weight while you're recovering, as hard as that sounds. Your body can do some weird stuff when it's trying to repair itself, not to mention the side effects your medication could be causing. Just focus on taking care of yourself for now. It is probably just from water…

I'm so sorry to hear that. :frown: That's rough. I hope you are doing alright. My grandmother passed away not too long ago, last November. She was my biggest hero. A really great woman. My parents even named me after her. Because of a car accident, she was paralyzed from the waist down from the time she was 17 until the…

My weight. :drinker:

I will probably wait until I hit my goal weight, which is a little over 50 pounds away, to restock my wardrobe entirely. I might buy a couple of new pairs of pants and bras in between just to tide me over, but my weight is distributed rather evenly over my entire body, so I have to lose quite a bit before my clothing sizes…

Ah! You're in almost the exact same situation I was in this past summer... I worked at a bakery. I know what you mean. It's hard to be around such tasty food all day and not snack just a little bit. What I had to do was limit myself to one thing a day, no exceptions. I would try to hold off until the evening to have my…

As far as Planet Fitness goes (is that even what this thread is about anymore? :huh: ), it seems to me like it heavily (HEAVILY) depends on the location. I've heard of a lot of locations sounding the lunk alarm and kicking people out on a routine basis. On the other hand, I've read a lot of good reviews from people who…

Well I'm glad it's not the muscles you're worried about competing with! :o

C...Can you cosplay Lieutenant Armstrong? :flowerforyou: :love: :blushing: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Good luck to the person taking multivitamins on a totally empty stomach... Even if I just take them before breakfast instead of after they make me throw up. :ohwell: ... I wonder if the flintstones ones are better for that... I never remember those making me sick... :huh:
