I was once told that if I wanted the position I was pursuing I needed to start wearing less colorful socks. I was surprised- I mean, they were just colorful. I wasn't wearing socks with penises or anything. I liked skirts or cropped pants with bright, patterned socks. I didn't care. I accepted that as a condition, for the…

With my teeth is perfect. Yummy! - Sliced, sprinkled with salt and pepper. - Smashed, mixed with diced tomatoes and seasoned to taste. - On top of salads. - On sandwiches (Turkey and Swiss on a croissant!? mm). - Little diced onion, diced tomatoes, shredded spinach, cooked in coconut oil, add egg, scramble, top with diced…

Yes, please!

I experience this if I eat more than 1.5 eggs. I also cannot handle most dairy. To get around it, I cook three eggs and divide them with my egg loving son. I have also found I can eat a much larger quantity of egg whites than whole eggs. If I make my guys Alfredo for dinner I save the whites for a big whites omelette for…

I also have a three year old, and he has always been a huge obstacle to my fitness. As a newborn and infant he hated his stroller and carriers/wraps. I would leave him home and walk my dogs to come back to a very stressed Daddy and screaming baby. He is still very mommy centered and has gotten his leg scraped coming up…

If your goal is set to give you a calorie deficit, you're doing it right. If you're set to maintain and want to lose, then no. If you are using MFP to calculate your calorie burn it might be estimating too high.

Beautiful accomplishments! Great job!

I'm confused by that as well. I'm 181 and 5'7", while I can button and zip 10s but I won't wear them with as much muffin top as they cause.

:((( So sad that a fitness site has to be some little clique that thrives on put downs. From a quick search you probably burn 1 calorie per push up, depending a bit on fitness level, weight, how quickly you do them etc. You could time them if you want to use the MFP estimate, but it might be rather high. For example if you…

Excellent work! You're looking great :)

Some people are so touchy. Sheesh. I think everyone who has difficulty financially has their own difficulty financially. For example, all of these suggestions for farmers markets ... farmersmarkets would ruin my family if we did our shopping there. Here they are so overpriced the smaller ones never last. $4 a pound for…

How long did it take to lose 20 and how long have you been biking? How often do you weigh yourself? Analog or digital scale? How long did you stick with eating more? What is "more"? I have lost 30 pounds, I bike 5x a week, try to get out for walks on weekends, and think my body is taking a little break from losses as I've…

It could be a change in body shape. I was wearing 12s and one 14, now 30 pounds lighter my pants are all FAR too big, one pair fell off my bum when I was chasing my son through a parking lot, but none of my old size 10s from 2010 fit. I'm thinking it may be a rise issue, but don't want to spend more on clothes as I have…

Can you have xylitol? It has fewer calories than sugar and is safe for diabetics. I do not know carb info off hand. It is pricey but a delicious sweetener.

I find biking burns the most calories for me. I wholly agree with the concept of "It's just how much effort you put in", but biking is where my body is more comfortable putting in that effort. I will finish a half hour ride drenched, putting in an equivalent of about 75-80 minutes of brisk walking effort. I can't bring…

I enjoy both and sometimes add cherry syrup to vanilla coke ;) I have a sickness!!

I don't have any great words of wisdom, but I am going to send you a friend request. I've never been a "small" girl for more than like a day. I am struggling to get back to my own normal of 165. I'm currently trying out a cycle of exercise where you go hard for a while then pull back some. This helped me drop a good chunk…

It isn't any more wrong than weighing yourself with clothes on. The point isn't always to see a certain number but more to see a downward trend.

Hah. Veganism. Doi.

First thing I think when people complain about getting 'judgemental looks' is... clearly you're judging someone else's expression, so who really cares. By the pictures you have up you look completely ordinary to me. I think you're probably projecting. I don't worry enough about other people to decide what they're thinking…

I haven't made up my mind how I feel about this overall. Some of the things I did see upset me- like fat free and 2% milk? I'm a big believer in giving kids whole milk for their bodies and brains and so far I haven't made any obese. My littlest is in like the 3rd percentile weight-wise (he is healthy, he has check-ups and…

Dig some of it out, then leave it opened with a spoon sticking up in it next to the toilet ; ) That'll freak her out.
-
O.k., this is going to sound weird, but is this the one where early in the movie there are a bunch of teens doing it all over the house? Because if so, I turned that one off at that point. Nein, danke! The Amityville Haunting has an IMDB rating of 2.7. Yeesh! I absolutely HATED the most recent installment of Batman. It was…

I messed up the reader for my HRM this year (grrr), but when I would wear it with my stationary bike it would say I was torching like 650 calories in 40 minutes on my bike at a resistance of 1 and riding roughly 14mph. I weighed just a hair over 200lbs. MFP estimates a litte less than that (~500), and my bike way less at…

I'm definitely in the 'no' minority, it seems. But that's also partly due to a houseful of kids, cats, dogs, and three different sleep schedules in our family. I feel like all I do is cook and clean besides my little 35-60 minute workouts. I am having more energy lately as I start to move further from 200 pounds, but our…

That's awesome and funny ; ) I believe you on the itcy back! My 3 year old needs me to scratch his back every night so he can sleep, and it usually wakes him up at least once in the night.
-
Yep. I actually liked them just fine at first, I would drain them (hold your breath!) and then rinse them really well, then top them with a veggie spaghetti sauce... but after a while I came to detest them.
-
Haha! Good for both you and him!

I completely disagree. I went through an entire pregnancy without craving anything more than having a heightened desire for spicy food, I gained a whopping 9 pounds throughout, but that doesn't mean I think women who gain 40 pounds and are eating paper in the closet because it just looks SO TASTY should 'just control…

Going to check it out! Sounds nice.
