Grabbing some popcorn for this one :drinker: I just like a good debate :happy:

bump....as treat it wouldn't be *too* bad

First things first--I love you :flowerforyou: ! Hahaha No, seriously, your sense of humor is great :laugh: Do cardio to burn calories immediately, but I'd definitely recommend lifting weights. You can lift weights for quite a long period of time without getting bulky. Getting bulky really requires a lot of effort…

Bump! I need to check out those links!

Everyone's right on here. If you look at the serving size on the package, it will say 2oz dry or 1 cup dry, etc., which means uncooked =)

I appreciate the posts! I will be hitting the gym with my normal routine while I'm there so that's not an issue. I'm just a little OCD in the sense that I don't want my numbers to be skewed. I will log my calories when I eat in so that way I can keep a long streak of logging. I will eat in moderation and I guess there is…

I do not like to mix food together at all....I can eat scrambled eggs with a side of bacon, but not scrambled eggs with pieces of bacon mixed in! Almost made me sick! weird, I know. Now onion rings dipped in sour cream is a different story. I used to dip them in ketchup, but one day I wasn't paying attention and dipped one…

bumpity bump bump!

I have a few :smile: When someone says "I'm upset AT you," it should be "I'm upset WITH you." That drives me crazy! But not literally :wink: "I'll let you get back to your rat killing." It means "I'll let you get back to whatever it is that you were doing," but when I first heard that, I said, "What the hell are you…

Hopefully this helps! :smile: To gain or lose one pound of fat, you need to eat or burn (or reduce through eating less) 3,500 calories. You said you gained four pounds over the course of the weekend but there's no way you could have gained 4 pound of *fat*--you would have had to consume 14,000 extra calories, yup, extra,…

I'm 5'0" and looking to lose about 10-15lbs of *fat* and gain some poundage in muscle. I'll add you! Anyone who comes across this and has similar goals please add me--but leave a message letting me know you came across my post on this board =)

There is definitely a change there! 4lbs can make a big difference on us shorter girls (I'm 5'0"). But you look like you have lost more than 4lbs of fat. I'd say you lost more than 4lbs of fat at the same time you were gaining muscle. From neck down you can see a difference: -Collarbone and shoulders are more pronounced…

Bump! This is great!

I probably don't have too many twins...=( 23 H: 5' SW: 118.5lbs CW: 112.5lbs (2lbs of that is water weight) GW: 95-100lbs (ultimately will be around 105 or maybe a little more since I am trying to build muscle) Originally from Brooklyn, NY and moved to AR with my family when I was 19. No kids but 2 elementary school-aged…

I'd tap that! In fact, I'll bump it! :wink:

I'm now in Arkansas...at least you have Jersey pizza! .....Although I still feel bad for you...just not as bad as for myself :laugh: I had it for dinner 3 nights in a row (leftovers, ugh)....was not happy about that. But now it's gone, yay! Going grocery shopping this weekend, as I go once a week....damn produce lol.

I am definitely not a veggie lover but there are veggies that I like. And I'll stick to "actual" veggies as well as "culinary" vegetables (technically fruits but when considered veggies by culinary standards). Like others have said, you may like vegetables prepared a certain way and hate them another. With me, I can't…

Welcome! I just joined the other day. This is the first time in my weight loss journey that I realized I wanted to get fit and strong, not thin and weak--so that's what I'm going to do! Lose fat and gain muscle =) 8.5lbs down since January with taking a 2 month hiatus from the gym due to family health issues. I've been…

You can add me! Just let me know it was from this thread =)

I did this the other day with Dominos Pizza. Was supposed to have chicken for dinner after a workout but it went bad before the sell by date and I didn't have time to go buy some more and cook it. So I ordered Dominos. Hadn't had it in a couple of months and decided I wanted some due to the chicken tragedy. And while it…

^^This. Thank you. Agreed! But get the natural peanut butter with no added salt, oils, etc. It should have oil on top and you should have to refrigerate it. If you don't like peanut butter, try almond, walnut, cashew, or macadamia nut butters. Same guidelines go for them. Also try beans. High in protein and in fiber as…

Thank you guys for takign time to respond! @techmafia - no other symptoms. @melsinct - I did notice that it has ~6 ingredients in it, so there's obviously some fillers in there. I'm pretty sure pectin was in, but I don't have the container handy so I can't give specifics. And I doubt I have a lactose sensitivity because I…

Agreed. If there is blood in the toilet, don't freak out because just a few drops will color the water and look like way more than what it is. Upping your fiber a lot very quickly can cause increase in bowel movements or in how, um, abrasive they are and how much you have to strain. If you notice the blood is dark,…

This is from muffintop-less.tumblr Her blog is one of my favorite go to blogs for advice, inspiration and motivation My Tips for Eating Out at a Restaurant When Trying to Stick to Your Diet! (If this is your cheat meal, then obviously some of these things may not need apply). •Don’t go starving. You are less likely to…

Thanks for responding! I'm eating Kroger (store brand) 0% fat, unflavored. I've looked at the flavored Chobani but it seems like they add some "extra" stuff to it and I'm (as much as I can) a clean eater. I love fruit but I have a feeling adding fruit won't be enough to get me to eat the yogurt unless I puree it and mix it…

I edited the quote to just include what I agree with, but everyone has different preferances and has done different research. I have mine set to 45C 35P 20F. 35%P seems to set me at about 1g of protein per pound of weight, just maybe about 5g under. I weight lift 5-6 days out of the week, along with cardio. I was going…

23 and looking to lose ~10-15lbs and then gain some back in muscle :happy: I'm very motivated, just joined MFP but changed my lifestyle 6 months ago. Anyone that wants to add me please do so, just include a message that you saw me on this board. And my diary is viewable by my friends =) Good luck!

Everyday, 3 times a day. Two of those weigh-ins are important if you are working out. Please hear me out :huh: . You should weigh yourself right before you workout--doesn't matter what time of day it is, if you've already had breakfast and lunch that day, etc. The reason for this is to replace water that you have sweat out…

What I've had for lunch everyday at work for the past 4 months...oatmeal with carrots (I actually usually have apples but had some leftover baby carrots from dinner so I decided to eat those). And yes, I like routine lol

Bump! I've heard about ON oats but never tried them, which is weird because I love oatmeal!! I've had oatmeal for lunch for 5 days a week for the past 4 months. Not obsessed with it, but what can I say, I like routine =)
