Can someone please clue me in on how to create these settings? I'm clueless! Thanks in advance.

black coffee (every day, without fail) 6 grain crackers chia seeds

i use a lot of products in the dermalogica line. they are more pricey but are the best products i've ever used--my skin has never been clearer or more glow-y. they are a very research and science driven company and do not test on animals. most of the products have a slightly clinical feel (i.e. clean packaging and very…

8.5 lbs in roughly 2 months. halfway done!

THIS!!! love this :)

So this really concerns me as I have a brand new Timex HRM. When I compare the calories burned according to my watch with online calculators that take into consideration average BPM, weight, age, gender and time, there is a HUGE discrepancy. The Timex number is always MUCH higher. I have been trusting this number, assuming…

I use this stuff: http://www.vitacost.com/lifetime-lifes-basics-plant-protein Made from chia, hemp, rice and peas. I like the unsweetened vanilla flavor.

i buy luxury denim brands on sale on gilt groupe--i find that with better quality denim the fit is so much better and i get WAY more years of wear. my favorite brands are genetic and joes--both are good for girls with curvier bottom halves like me!

1.5% natural yogurt and COFFEE!! not a day goes by without my one true love :)

Abita Jackamo IPA Sixpoint Sweet Action Brooklyn Lager Yuengling Lagunitas IPA None of these beers are available where I currently live. I MISS THE USA!!!

parmesan is indeed vegetarian--it just isn't vegan.

agree!! i love no more trouble zones. i've done it for 2 months and it's still very challenging.

bumping for my days of weak morale!

crispy, flaky butter croissants. i know that if i want one bad enough i can squeeze in the calories somehow. but they hold way less appeal now, knowing that if i eat one at 9 am i'm hungry by 11!

i set myself up with a modest goal of exercising 3-4 times a week so as to stay motivated and not get frustrated if i can't find the time. currently i'm enoying jillian michael's no more trouble zones and shed & shred, so i do either one twice a week. i do a 30-40 min tabata round (mix of cardio and strength training) once…

asos.com has a HUGE selection, ships worldwide and has a variety of price points. They constantly get in new inventory so browsing their new arrivals is my weekly guilty pleasure :)

bump!! need to study this information!!

i'm getting so many great ideas here! can't wait to make crustless quiche--perfect microwave at work breakfast! since starting MFP i've been alternating between 2 breakfasts: 1. natural yogurt, cut up fruit, chia seeds and sometimes a tiny bit of cereal on top 2. oatmeal in a variety of ways--sometimes with PB&J, or dried…

no pics unfortunately but my eggs of choice are sloooowly scrambled eggs made with 1 whole egg and 2 whites. whisk the eggs with a bit of milk/sour cream, S&P, add to a pan on medium-low heat and move the eggs in the pan CONSTANTLY until you have creamy, soft eggs. takes a bit of time but totally worth it! i also like to…

no cooking! it would melt into a puddle in the oven! i'm thinking a drizzle of super dark chocolate on top of these could be a needed addition...

fridge is pretty bare but i'm thinking soba noodles in a peanut sauce with some roasted tofu, peppers and onions. i'm using the peanut sauce from this recipe: http://www.loveandlemons.com/2012/05/18/peanut-soba-noodles-edamame-kale/

someone mentioned above but i will repeat--roasting veggies is to me, the tastiest way to eat them. DO NOT use frozen--they will turn to mush. chop up your veg (any root vegetable like beets, carrots, squash, and brocolli, cauliflower, kale), mix with a little bit of olive oil, S&P and whatever seasoning you like (i…

my go-to dressing recently is the following: 1 clove of garlic grated through a microplane (zester) big spoonful of your fave mustard smaller spoonful of honey/silan/maple syrup...whatever you have on hand less than 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar salt and pepper to taste combine the ingredients above and then stream in about…

as a former WW user--welcome! i'm finding MFP to be FAR superior in so many ways. the social network aspect of it really goes above and beyond the support i used to get from weekly meetings. having the daily interaction makes the process so much more fun. i get so many great ideas from looking at other user's food…

Jerusalem, Israel!

those roasted chickpeas sound insanely good! how do you make them?? as for my snacks of choice--10-12 almonds or pistachios, nectarines, spreadable cheese triangles (the ones i use are like 30 calories) with whole grain crackers, cottage cheese + fruit.

i'm so with you on this one! while i'd say i'm naturally a healthy eater, a reeses mini pb cup will slip its way into my evenings once a while. i also refuse to give up participating in birthday parties and group dinners entirely--if i have 1 slice of thin crust pizza and then eat a nice big salad, i'm happy with that. but…

mushrooms - still can't eat them raw, but love them sauteed with other veggies for added meatiness. anchovies - totally addictive flavor when added to olive oil and garlic - i use in pasta and veggies all the time now! prunes - same as you--thought they were only for old ladies, but now i love in oatmeal. things i still…

i can't help you with substantiating health claims, but i do use it frequently as a moisturizer (best thing ever for shaving legs) and hair treatment. i've also heard due to it's anti-inflammatory qualities that it's great for treating dermatological autoimmune diseases like eczema. magical!

bumpity bump bump! this list is an amazing resource. thanks everyone.
