Thanks for posting this. I have the same problem, though for me it's that I tend to drink quite a bit on the weekend. Food stays (roughly) the same, but ahhh, the drinks! I live in Tokyo, where it is perfectly legal to drink outside, and weekend activities with my circle of cohorts quite often start with late a.m. drinks…

There's a couple of different viewpoints on this issue! Here's a link to a recent thread on the boards: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/467888-success-not-eating-back-exercise-calories?error_user_id=19089156&error_username=joytron&hl=eating+back+exercise+calories

I made a list of things I wanted to change, both diet related and exercise related. Some of the stuff on the list: eliminate fast food, start eating fruit at breakfast, exercise every day (even if just walking), do kickboxing 3 times a week, limit alcoholic beverages, eliminate mayo, etc. AND THEN -- key point -- I…

"Gargle his privates" ... Wow! Totally guffawed OUT LOUD at that one. :D

I don't get cramps anymore, but in my teens I got the debilitating kind, like stay-home-from-school-for-2-days-a-month-PAIN-moaning-in-bed kind. In those days my mother worked in the alternative health industry and she got me taking one capsule of evening primrose oil daily. The cramps disappeared and my skin improved as…

Basically: What everyone else said. A calorie is a calorie. And I eat *a lot* of fruit and veggies. That said, I'm quite fussy with being exact in the counts for other foods, but with veggies (never fruit) I guess if I have to. If I'm off I'll be off by maybe five cals, whereas if I'm off with something like a bowl of rice…

Awesome, you look great! And you should put the second pic on Reddit; those boys LOVE gamer girls. :D

In answer to the above: Never been on a cruise. Been on lots of different types of boats, though. Edit: Also never been surfing. ; ) Never have I ever broken a bone.

~ what was the last thing (no matter how small) you purchased? A 250 ml bottle of wine. (I can't be trusted with the full-sized bottles on weeknights! There have been many disastrous experiments with this, but no, it can't be done.) ~ what can you hear right now? The Violent Femmes: "Children of the Revolution". This is…

Friend request sent! Yay for mutual support! :)

Thanks for sharing, OP. I eat several (whole) eggs a week, and always felt vaguely guilty, but this article has given me more perspective. And I must say, I am SUPER-jealous of all of you people commenting who have chickens in your backyards. CHICKENS! IN! YOUR BACKYARDS! The mind blows ...

I'm 5.2 and weigh 136. My goal is 120-125 -- whichever feels best when I get there! Far more into the slender look than the skinny look. I'm relatively new to this site, so always looking for new friends! Feel free to add. : )

This is just a micro suggestion re: your high-cal leftovers ... If I'm in the same situation, I'll take a TINY amount of the leftovers (say, a quarter portion of pasta) and then make a massive new meal around it consisting entirely of vegetables and other low-cal foods. Then you get that taste of something awesome, and…

Congratulations! You look wonderful!

I am *almost* 5.2. ; ) Feel free to add me!

Well done, you! That's awesome news!

This sounds DIVINE! I wish I had a dog. : ) But I can definitely get my hands on some blueberries, almonds, green tea, and a good book! This sounds like it'll be tonight's plan.

Yay, I'm glad you like it! : ) And feel free to adapt my spice suggestions to whatever you fancy ...

Looks awesome -- will be trying this! Thanks!

Bump. These all sound ridiculously awesome!

You look awesome! I'm totally jealous of your legs!

Beets. I just get a gag reflex.

I and one of my co-workers occasionally stick a plate of healthy alternatives (e.g., fruit) right next to the unhealthy stuff. Then when we're walking by and the impulse is to just grab something, it's easy to grab the healthy one.

Feel free to add me! I'm a fan of healthy eating and I also like prowling around food diaries looking for the next cool recipe. :)

Scarlett Johansson. I way prefer slim over skinny. :)

Cool cool, wanna start doing this as it's getting too time-consuming to do it all daily. My question is, do the veggies dry out if you cut them and they're sitting in the fridge for a week? Do you store them in water, or just an air-tight Tupperware? Thanks!

Wow. That explanation was all kinds of awesome. Thanks!

I quit smoking 6 months ago and gained maybe 4 pounds. I'm short so that's more than it would be on a taller person, but still, minimal. Just wanted to say that quitting smoking is the best thing I have ever done for myself, and 6 months later I'm still proud. I used Allen Carr's method, and I can't recommend it enough. I…
