I googled artificial sweeteners and EAS Myoplex and got a bunch of articles about it, but they don't say WHY the aftertaste...

"I'm not used to eating all this stuff and if I take one more bite I will puke all over the table. Trust me, you don't want to see that." That should shut them right up. :)

Are you sure you need to lose 5kg? You look so tiny!

Low fat cheese tastes like rubber. Go for the real stuff, just try to eat less of it. Easier said than done, I know. I like those Mini Babybell cheese things...70 cals and 6 g fat. I also like fresh mozzarella and string cheese.

I know nothing about the poster who said she can't eat beef. I was just answering your question. :)

Yes, I definitely need to cut down on the cheese. I can't eat a lot of grains so my carbs come mostly from yogurt and fruit. Should eat more beans too I guess.... Thanks for the suggestion!

That's a great idea. The thing I hate about protein shakes is the milky taste and consistency. Cutting them with espresso will definitely help!

Guess I'll have to resort to protein shakes....blech.... :sick:

That's the thing...I'm not. I'm consistently over on fat and under on protein. I'm trying to eat less cheese but I get so HUNGRY.

Thanks for that. I haven't had time to read the whole thing but I will. I have my MFP goals set to 40/30/30. Do you think I can assume that if most of my fats are healthy fats (not trans or saturated) and that I'm not eating lots of refined carbs, I'm ok? Most of my carbs come from yogurt and fruit...

How do you do that?? I just posted a few minutes ago that I go over on fat almost every day.

Jif chunky PB with grape jelly and fritos crunched in the middle. My favorite sandwich when I was a kid.

OP, you've gotten a lot of good advice. Have you lost the weight very quickly? Maybe your co-workers are just in shock because you look so different? Regardless, your they still don't have the legal or moral right to treat you this way. Do something about it.

Let me get this straight -- baggy scrubs and no makeup make a person look like a meth addict? Is that really what you said? Really? A meth addict? Have you ever seen a meth addict?? Why don't people think before they type? :noway:

But oatmeal is nasty, which negates your entire argument.

I just posted about this a few days ago. I totally get obsessed and I find it completely mentally and emotionally draining. The last two or three days I haven't been eating so well, I guess in part as a reaction to extreme mental strength I need to stay in control. Now I'm headed out of town for the weekend to a place…

I like Obama AND I love corn. So there.

I love corn.

I don't have time to read the whole thread so I'm sorry if this has already been said, but... 1. You're so young. You don't have to decide right now if you want to have kids. You still have a good 15 years to make that decision. 2. Just because you get married doesn't mean you're going to be tied down to a mortgage and 2.3…

ha! word.

Ditto this. I love my kids and can't imagine life without them, but I had them for the simple reason that I was getting older and I thought it was what I was supposed to do. Becoming a mother has been the most difficult adjustment of my life. I don't regret it -- I really do love my kids! But I would have had a happy and…

I don't know how they could perform a c-section without cutting through muscle. Seems physically impossible. I had two c-sections (the second one was almost 7 years ago) and I only felt that strange pulling for the first year or so. Some people form more scar tissue than others. You should definitely get it checked out and…

Bump dammit

These calculators confuse and confound me. According to this one, BMR = 1468 TDEE = 2082. According to http://calorieline.com/tools/tdee, BMR = 1469 TDEE = 1911. According to http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ BMR = 1551 TDEE= 2404 Plus there are other, less detailed sites where you just plug in a few stats and…

It irritates me to no end the way people's eyebrows go up if they see me eat ONE thing that they consider "bad" food and then they tsk tsk and say "you won't be able to eat anything else for the rest of the dayyyyy!" OK, not people...one person....my mother. I love her but dammit, woman, can I please enjoy a slice of pizza…

Wine! I'm half French and have been drinking wine since I could talk, so no, I will never give up wine. That said, as I get older I definitely feel it in the morning, even if I've just had one or two glasses the night before. Since I work out at 6 am, I've cut back significantly. At first I missed it terribly -- how can…

I just can't do that...yet. I'm a food addict and that stuff is like smack to me. But I admire people who can eat that stuff in moderation and I aspire to be like them someday...

I was exactly the same way with my kids. I had to stop buying those little bags of cookies and treats for their lunches because I would just eat them ALL after they went to bed. I, too, felt like a hypocrite because I would only allow them an occasional bag of cookies as a treat, yet I couldn't control myself around them.…
