Sound pretty good so far! If you go camping a lot you could try making your own versions of dehydrated foods? That would cut down on the "processed" factor. http://www.ehow.com/how_2115897_dehydrate-package-food-backpacking.html

Ooh, I've been meaning to do the steps for ages! How was it? Was it busy or crowded? I'll have to look into it. :) And strenuous exercise definitely makes you retain water. Give it a couple of days. I'm in the same boat.

Hey! I'm also 5'10, and I'm maintaining at 140 at the moment. Can't seem to go any lower than that... :/ Anyway, it's quite small- I'm an Australian size 9 in jeans. I dont know what it is everywhere else...I think a 5 in US? I don't think I could get much smaller. I'm focussed more on looking healthy though.

Just focus on making the cake itself healthier? I do t know, I refuse to scrimp oncake decorations. Fondant is basically powdered sugar. So no, there's not really a way to make it healthier, apart from using less of it. You could use more fruits to decorate, and perhaps inedible decorations. At least it's not as bad as…

I've got a baking blog...sorry, it's not healthy at all. But it's my little hobby. Crissybakes.wordpress.com Edit: please feel free to comment/critique in the comments sections. All input is appreciated :)

I'm 5'10 and my calves are 14.2 inches. I'm 140 pounds. So, they're right for me because I'm tall. :)

I have a couple of Australian ones... Vacation = holidays Trainers/sneakers = runners

Don't worry too much about eating at specific times, go by how hungry you are and your calorie count for the day.

I find it a lot easier to save up my calories if I'm going to have a big dinner/night/whatever. Just have a small lunch? Lower fat ice-cream is the way to go though. Frozen yoghurt is even better. And try adding in fruit instead of Oreos? Or perhaps just plain choc ripple biscuits or something. That way you're not eating…

:heart: :drinker:

Duke Nukem is out! HAIL TO THE KING, BABY! :) ...Also, E3. Thoughts?

I love my long blacks...use the right beans and they are wonderful. May be hard to get used to for ye who like cream and sugar...

I love dates and prunes...can even have them on crackers. And they've got tons of fibre.

I get hungry at night time so I don't bother eating until some point in the afternoon. Works so much better for me, and I get to hce bigger meals. Mornings I'll usually have coffee or tea.

I'm sorry but you do not just "slip into" gluconeogenesis. Unless you already have diabetes issues.

2 wholemeal pieces of toast with 1 tsp unsalted butter and 1 tbsp light peanut butter. Glass of skim milk. Easy 400 calories and will put you right to sleep.

Ok, I'm on day 3 of IFing, and so far so good! I'm finding it so much easier to stay within my allotted calories. Hopefully this will bust me through my plateau... A question to ye who exercise: how do you fit it in to IF? I've been slacking off with exercise lately, but one thing at a time I think. Also, with ESE, do your…

Try getting adequate amounts of fat and protein in your meals throughout the say, and drink lots of water. Other things that may help include tea, sugarfree gum/brushing your teeth, or specifically saving some calories. Feel free to check out my diary- I love my after dinner eating. :) Oh and don't keep junk in the…

Mmm me too. And none of that low fat stuff either. Lately I'm loving adding brown sugar and cinnamon to things like oatmeal, yoghurt and tofu (yes Tofu ;) tastes amazing) I get that we're all trying to be healthy, but you can do it with yummy things too...

I loved Animal Crossing. Can't wait for a 3DS version. Oh and new Zelda! Have you/anyone played Harvest Moon? Best. I will NEVER be a wow player. I get addicted to games way too easily, and I predict I would have no life whatsoever of I started playing wow. I just couldn't balance it. :p Portal 2 is great. Glados sure is…

I know what you mean. You can always let your partner drive, but you miss out on things if you do this too much...

Why give up on coffee again? Sounds like most people should just give up the sugar and cream, as opposed to the coffee. Having one or two cups of black coffee a day has many benefits. I don't see a reason to get rid of it. On the scale of beverages which are bad for you, it hardly registers. But, to each his own I guess.

it also depends on how close you are to goal. When you are just beginning/have a lot of weight to lose, your body seems to cope better with larger deficits. When you get into a healthy weight range and are quite close to goal, large deficits seem to hinder weight loss more than help.

May I just ask what everyone's calorie goals are? I don't want to be snooping in people's diaries but I can't figure out what my "sweet spot" is, and it would help if I knew what other people my height were on. I've been ranging from 1300 to 1900 depending on the day/week, and am going to try intermittent fasting and see…

Oh I agree with this so so much. I feel weird even thinking about dating someone shorter than me, and now that I've been single for a while, I notice this all the time. ...And it makes me giggle a bit when I imagine them doing certain things. :blushing: :laugh:

Hey there IFers! I've been wondering about starting leangains (14hours into a fast now) and was hoping someone could answer a few questions for me... Do you eat your exercise Calories back? Is there a specific time to have a big meal or not? Eg first meal after fast. What is the optimum time to workout? During fast? In the…

When waiting for the train/bus/public transport go for a brisk walk around the platforms or even to the next bus stop.

That sucks! :( maybe you could wear some cute little itty bitty heels? ...or tell the boys to wear lifts. They're there to make the girls look pretty, not the other way around :p Shame on them!

I love Kings...or as my friends and I call it, Cup of Death! We usually just vary the rules on that a lot, makes for a very entertaining night. Also, more decks of cards=more fun. ;)

I need me a geek. I mean that in the best way, since I'm the biggest geek. Nerdy guys, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
