I need a healthy substitute for green beans.

Yep, I'll be making those next weekend.

Thirding this. Although I wanted to PUNCH people in their punching place for saying "sleep when the baby sleeps." It never worked for me.

Spinach Pesto--it tasted like bitter plant vomit and topped any other weird food for sheer yuck factor. Alligator? Not too bad. Sea weed straight from the ocean? Slimy, but edible. Spinach pesto? Waste of good ingredients.

:laugh: Okay, but Navygrrl gets credit for the Unifying Theory of Hairstyles. Eerily enough, I'm right where Janeway's hair changes and the episodes are getting significantly better.

DS9. It was the first one I really watched because it was in syndication at the right time when I was the right age to really get into it. It gets a lot of extra nostalgia points from me for that. Also, Cisco punched Q--another good go-to argument. Nostalgia aside, TNG hands down. I'm watching all of Voyager on Netflix for…

Congratulations! That definitely counts as a success.

You can't share?

Bump. It's been a while since I've tried to make a lightened up chocolate dessert. The chocolate scrambled egg "mug cake" was... unfortunate.

Wait OP, you mean I'm responsible for what I eat and I can try and hold onto the small things for a big result when the rest of my life is going to hell?

Wow, I expected this thread to take a bad turn for one reason, and then here's this gem. Be a troll. Please, please be a troll.

Wow, what internet quiz did you get that off of? I want to play!

You look wonderful, and that huge grin in the "after" photos is contagious. Great job!

Of course all this drama is over kale! Kale is the drama llama's favorite super food.

I wouldn't be able to look my husband in the eye if he did something like that. It's hard to look at people and convulse in laughter at the same time.

One of our kid's BIG tantrum triggers is when she disagrees with why she gets in trouble for something. For example, she hits something, and I tell her she's not supposed to hit said thing, and now that she knows she'll get a time out if she does it again. So next time she kicks it, and gets a time out because I warned…

I put some olive oil in a tiny spray bottle so I can use less oil to cover a surface. The whole spray bottle holds maybe two tablespoons, and it's really helped me cut down on the amount of oil I cook with.

That's better than the reverse.

I love this thread. Edited to add DINOSAUR!

There's nothing wrong with being smug because you can make kickass food. Just don't use pride in cooking well as an excuse for why your weight is "okay." Cooking is a wonderful hobby, but does not justify eating as a hobby.

My ED senses are tingling...

You won't get muscly. Start lurking in the "Success Stories" forum, and see all the lovely lifting ladies. Some women want a more muscled appearance than I'd want to go for, but they get that way through a strict diet plan and a ton of work--it's not something that will ever sneak up on you. Ever. (Seriously, even guys…

I know someone IRL who is scared of food and convinced that everything except a few specific brands of organic, gluten-free, non-gmo things will cause him crippling pain. All of the "evil toxins" build up to damage his nerves. He will tell you all about it while chain smoking. I wish I were making this up. So somewhere…

After you have a baby you have extra crazy. It leaks out in weird ways, and in the first couple of weeks when your body feels like an ill fitting suit it's easy to focus on weight loss, but remember, that's the extra crazy building up. Think I'm wrong? Go try on new clothes and see if any of it feels right. Get used to the…

The book's good too. It's one of the few book/movie combos where neither is bad compared to the other.

The first Sci Fi movie ever is now a butthurt gif. ... .. .

This recipe's pretty good and low cal compared to yours at 570 cal/serving. Of course, it may be a much smaller serving than yours. In general, when I want to make it with even fewer calories I use more tomato sauce and a little less meat and cheese. Regular marinara sauce is a pretty good deal to me calorie-wise so I get…
