I've also replaced food with water. I drink TONS of it now, and if I'm bored, I'll idly sip. I can't not have water near me now. The weather is getting super nice here, so it's turning into casual walk weather too if that floats your boat. Anything to get you roaming around productively, instead of roaming around for food…

I usually mix all this up Sunday night because quinoa takes so long to fully cook and expand, but I end up with: - quinoa - ground flax seed - chia seed - honey - soy milk if available. sometimes it's homemade almond milk, other times it's just water I just reheat it on the stove. If I wind up with more water or milk, I'll…

I LOVE matcha! I don't drink it often because it's SO expensive to buy, but oh is it ever yummy. It's my treat tea, rather than detox or weight loss though. :)

Wow, we've got quite a batch of lookers! I guess I'll post a non-baby one :P 2009 - me in a nutshell

Aaaaw, I love TBTs! Around 1990-91? 1993? These were my two favourite outfits, haha 2003 !

When I did a quick Google including 25g in the search, apparently it's the recommendation for women. Men have a slightly higher recommendation (like 35g? Still not 68 though!). My calorie intake is set to 1200. When I was searching for the page I initially found though, I did stumble upon the exact same question posted on…

Ah, thanks! I have no idea how accurate those counts really are (so I don't know if it was more or less than what the database listed) , but sugar has never been a huge concern to me.

13.5". I'm small at 5'1'", so they look BIG on me, especially compared to my thighs (18.3") but I can't work them off because they're muscle. I'm glad they're muscular, but they're a bit hefty for my preferences, haha. Miraculously I've found knee high boots that fit me! I'm confined strictly to the skinniest of jeans to…

I do! Even if I stuff myself, I tend to get hungry (or at least peckish) again in a couple hours, so since I moved out on my own, I've been picking at several smaller meals a day. If my schedule permits, I'll have breakfast around 6-7, brunch around 9-10, lunch around 12-1, a snack whenever I feel like it, and dinner…

I've had stretch marks since my teens, and like others have said, they never totally go away. They get lighter, but that's just with time anyway. Good practice that I would recommend regardless of stretchmarks is to stay hydrated, exfoliate, and moisturize regularly - at best, all it will do is expedite the natural process…

Wow! I don't have any progress pics of my own, but kudos, you guys! You look amazing!

Me too! Niagara area :)

I usually try and portion my food at work so before I leave, I'm munching a bit too. But even then, if I'm too busy to snack at the end of the work day and am preoccupied with getting home, I'll usually end up peckish at the very least. The first thing I do when I get home is drink a cup of water, since often times thirst…

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. :( My parents are both on high blood pressure medication, and my eldest brother is only 35 but I believe he's on medication as well. Whenever I'm in a pharmacy or a store with a pharmacy with a friend, I'll stop and get mine tested just for kicks. It's an even better kick if I'm in the…

I use homemade almond + soy milk instead of water (I soak and blend my own almonds and soy beans, then add a bit of brown sugar + water) and a mix of fruits - strawberries, cherries, grapes, honeydew, cantaloupe, and pineapple.

Apart from what others have already said, the sensation for thirst is often mistaken as hunger and so people will prioritize food before they think they're actually dehydrated. Many a time, if you sip water occasionally throughout the day before going straight for food, you'll find yourself hungry less often because you're…
