It was the "a 37 year old women" that got me about that quote. Homophones are hard, brah; along with all other rules of grammar, apparently. It's okay, though, because VeggieTales can help you with that. School house polka on YouTube. I think it would go a long way for you MrIntolerable. :wink:

Pack the scale away for a while, and pull out the measuring tape for a few weeks, instead. Or better yet, find motivation that isn't tied inextricably to the end results. Try out a new exercise routine, or set a goal for your current exercise activities, for example.

We do lots of eggs for breakfast. You can crack them into a plastic water bottle (saves space, and you don't have to worry about the shells cracking), and shake them up. Then just pour them into a pan to scramble them. Kabobs are never wrong :bigsmile:. We also do foil meals. Just wrap a meat up with some onions and other…

As long as you're at a caloric deficit, chocolate itself isn't going to cause you to fail to lose weight. That being said, I'm a believer in moderation, unless it is a trigger food. You could try getting extra-dark chocolate, breaking it into squares, and having a single square after your meals. If you find that you're…

No it isn't. It's property damage, not a direct threat to your person. Essentially what you're saying is that you're willing to kill someone over some broken glass. Are you going to shoot someone who keys your car? Stab someone to death because they slash your tires? Unless he pulls a gun and is taking aim, "self defense"…

It depends on when you take your heart rate, and what activities you've been doing prior to, as to whether or not a resting heart rate of 40 is alarming. If you're taking it first thing in the morning or after meditating for an hour, it's a different story than your resting heart rate 15 minutes after exercise. It also…

I get up before my kids, and before my husband leaves for work, for my morning workout. I also include my kids as much as possible. Trying to stay active with them opens up lots of "workout" possibilities. We go on hikes. We spend the entire day at the zoo. I hook up the bike trailer and we visit the park. We play xbox…

What IS clean eating? I've seen several references to cookies and cake as examples of "dirty" or "not clean" foods. What makes them less clean than, say, an apple, all covered in its wax and pesticides? What if I used all natural, organic ingredients to make my own cake? Does that make it magically clean? Is it just a…

Aside from mayo substitutions... I like to use quinoa instead of rice. Works beautifully in every rice dish I've tried it in. Quinoa doubles as a breakfast food, too. You can eat it like oatmeal, or mixed in with other foods, like yogurt. Sandwich thins instead of regular bread. They're 100 calories total, which is about…

"Abs are made in the gym and revealed in the kitchen." Do you have any weight you're needing to lose? Because you may have beautiful, chiseled abs that are just currently in hiding.

My little guy can be pretty picky, too. He wants PB&J for breakfast every morning, and will rarely touch his vegetables. I just keep putting them on his plate. Occasionally he'll sample them, or I can encourage him to take one bite. Whether he spits it out, or refuses to try it, I try again the next time we have that food.…

Plain greek yogurt is usable in place of mayo or sour cream. Hummus is yummy on sandwiches and in wraps, too, but can be calorie dense if you're not easy on the serving. I also like most sandwiches - admittedly BLTs especially - with avocado and/or an over-easy egg. The egg is a little under 100 calories, but it keeps me…

You can certainly continue to go to the gym and work out. Just eat back some of your exercise calories, and you'll feel a lot better. Netting 80 calories a day (your 1580 allowance minus 1500 burned by exercise), means you're only giving your body 80 calories to function on. That can make you very sick. Go to the gym to…

The gym isn't the key to weight loss... a caloric deficit is. The 1580 - your goal calories - includes a deficit that will allow for weight loss, without the addition of exercise. Exercise helps retain muscle during weight loss, which is an awesome thing, but isn't necessary to losing weight. Work out as much as feels good…

Mine is open. I figure nobody's going to criticize it, unless I ask for feedback. It feels almost like I'm ashamed of the foods I'm eating, if I choose to keep it private.

You can lose weight without exercising at all, by being in a caloric deficit. According to your profile, you only have 7lbs left to lose, which makes a weekly loss of 1/2lb completely acceptable and normal. How slow is "slow" to you? Also, if you're getting 500-700 calories a day, that's dangerous to your health. You could…

Slow loss isn't necessarily a bad thing. It depends on how much you have to lose, and how much weight you're referring to as being a "slow weight loss." How much per week are you losing? How many pounds are you aiming to lose overall?

This was honestly my first thought. OP, your situation sounds like you're toeing the edge of relapse. The prospect of losing 40lbs in 10 weeks is a dangerous one, and especially so for someone who is trying to recover from an eating disorder. It's worth the cost to your wallet now, to get the help you need to recover, so…

Prior to actually biking, I used to think cyclists should stay off the road. :embarassed: I honestly felt like, until and unless they can maintain speed like a car, or accelerate like a car, they shouldn't be where the cars are. Actually cycling on the road, though, I can say that my opinion has changed. I try to stay on…

Have you gotten help from a professional regarding the binging? A juice cleanse (or water fasting) isn't going to make your cravings go away, or curb your binges. Also, 40lbs in 10 weeks is a very, very aggressive amount of weight, unless you're substantially obese. What is your current height and weight? Speak with a…

Make the "img" lowercase, and it'll work for you. Great progress! Keep up the excellent work!

:laugh: My husband made a crack about taking yoga in the spring, when he was a college student. He says it's filled with mostly girls, who progressively take more and more clothes off, as they're becoming more and more flexible through the summer. Joking aside, yoga can be hard! I don't think it's unmanly. Just like…

I haven't been here long, but there are a couple of things I've learned (and been surprised by). What you eat, when you eat, or how often you eat matters a whole lot less than how much you eat. I was honestly really surprised that I could actually lose weight while including my favorite "less than healthy" foods. That…

I've tried baking them, and can never get them right. Usually I put them in cool water, bring them to a boil, boil for about 5 minutes, turn off the heat, cover them, and let them sit for about 15 minutes. Drain the water, and submerge the eggs in ice water. Perfectly cooked, easy to peel.
