I'd do sautéed greens - broccoli, bok choy, spinach,etc. But I really like the idea of slaw. You could make it creamy to combat the spice, or dress it with a vinaigrette to keep it nice and fresh.

Bump it! You are all so fabulous :flowerforyou:

I'd say that you are finally doing it right! Just keep going as you are and monitor your progress. If you aren't losing for a while you might need to adjust your intake/activity level. I know it might seem like you have a long way to go and at times you might not feel so positive, but you've already lost 1/10 of your goal.…

I don't really like fake meat products. But I'm not a vegetarian. For non-meat protein, besides the ones you already eat, I really like tempeh, all kinds of beans, eggs, and all the dairy (especially cottage cheese and Greek yogurt.) I'm not very good at cooking tofu, so I don't eat it that much. I did find that if you…

My friend who doesn't drink alcohol has sparkling or tonic water (flavored or unflavored) or a low sugar soda when he wants to drink something special. But I don't think those are really substitutes for beer or wine. Figure out how much of your chosen beverage you can fit into your calorie goal and just drink that. Drink…

All the feels!!! I wish you both luck in your weight loss and maintaining a great relationship.

People who don't know how to: Use turn signals, for turning or changing lanes. YIELD Give themselves more than 5 seconds to cross 5 lanes in order to exit the highway. Follow the lane closure signs and merge more than 20 ft before the lane ends. Let people on/off the highway onramp. Travel at an appropriate speed when…

I started with NROLFW with some pretty light weights. I watched lifting videos and when I was comfortable I moved on to Starting Strength. I'm a little uncertain about my form so will be hiring a trainer for a few sessions to work on that. I'm not sure if your class will give you a good basis for lifting form, but that's…

I like just about all the foods, so I like most of the healthy foods. Amaranth - it's not much different than quinoa (which I like) but I've tried eating a few times and just don't like it, works fine in breads. Coconut water - so gross that I've only tried it once, perhaps other brands are better. Soy Joy bars - it's been…

Happy birthday! Live and learn. And enjoy your birthday. Two days does not break a healthy lifestyle.

I have to know what kind of treacherous chocolate peanut butter ice cream lead to your downfall. I do not belittle your pain, just....you know...for science.

Marrow is delicious! Oso bucco, anyone?

This thread is so wonderful. I've been in a real make-all-the-excuses (lazy) rut lately and this is just what I needed to lace up my shoes and get back in the gym. In for round 4.

Are you making sure that you are getting the same amount of protein and fat in your vegetarian meals as in omni meals?

After all this macaron talk I had to get one with my afternoon coffee. Chocolate Nutella. Delicious. And I did feel terribly fancy.

I'm sure I ate a few too many sweets, Popeyes chicken, and loaves of French bread with cheese for dinner, but overall my diet was pretty healthy and balanced. I definitely enjoyed too much beer and wine. I was eating and drinking just a little too much of everything and barely exercising so didn't offset the extra…

Yes, I love a hearty salad. I just throw all the good things in my fridge on top of some greens. Veggies cooked or raw, various cheeses, nuts, beans, cooked meat, canned sardines, tempeh, avocado, boiled or fried eggs, all topped with a simple olive oil dressing. Grain based salads are also good, leftover…

This is an excellent thread where you might be able to find some support. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1173907-some-of-my-thoughts-on-emotional-eating

I don't have a problem with dairy but I have heard that some people with milk allergies do okay with goats milk and products made from it. Have you tried that?

Brown sugar, maple syrup, PB and honey, jam, chopped fresh or dried fruit. I did a few Hershey kisses the other day.

I use similar methods and prefer to grill eggplant outdoors if weather permits, gives it a nice smoky flavor. After cooking the slices I marinate in vinegar and herbs for a simple dish or use the slices for sandwiches, salads, etc.

Yes. Because it's delicious. Much like chocolate, a bit of cheese makes most things better.

Do not worry about having a higher muscle mass. That's a good thing. You want to preserve as much of that muscle as possible while you are losing weight, but you will lose some of it with the fat. In the end, I think you will be happier if you try to keep your muscle mass. To do that you should have a reasonable deficit,…

Great list, thank you! My biggest problem is finding calories for local beers but ratebeer really does have a lot of good info.

MFP is a great tool for this. You ate a piece of pizza. Put it in your food log and see what it does to your day. Chances are it doesn't ruin anything. Adjust your eating for the rest of the day or add some exercise if you need to. Being a little over calories isn't going to do you any harm, but if you let it defeat you so…

I don't doubt that people can lose weight without weighing all their food, clearly many people do. There are also many people who manage to lose weight without counting calories at all. But when people on this site ask why they aren't losing weight when they insist they are doing everything right, making sure that they are…
