  • I like microwaving the egg whites (or all of the egg, depending on how many calories I'm alloting for that meal), in one of those plastic fold-over egg cookers. Then I toss it on a tortilla and pour some pico de gallo or mild salsa over the top. Instant yum.

  • Start with a basic cruiser, if you're just planning on biking down smooth roads and such. The tires are wide, they're comfortable and easy to ride, and a bit more stable than the racer-type bikes. A good bike shop will set you up with the right size and style for you.

  • BED is very real, no matter what your family/friends might think. Therapy is a good idea, but also I'd recommend OA (Overeaters Anonymous). If you go to www.oa.org, they can get you in touch with a number of local groups in your area. It's free, and they deal with all kinds of eating disorders there (not just compulsive…

  • Yeah, I have those days where I crave just about everything (or sometimes ONE food to the point of near insanity), and just have to remind myself that that kind of "hunger" is almost always mental, not physical. If it's really driving me crazy (i.e. late nights craving sweets), I'll write out whatever's on my mind until…

  • Like the weight I put on, it wasn't one particular thing, just a gradual build-up of a lot of things. The death of my stepfather from an obesity-related heart attack (he was only 56) was a major factor. Then slowly being unable to fit into things - meeting room chairs, roller-coaster rides, restaurant booths, movie seats,…

  • Admin assistant for a fire department. My co-workers exercise like crazy (even when there's not rescues/fires to run to, they're actually required to be in the gym at least 1 hr a day), but since I handle the paperwork end of things, I'm basically sitting at a desk all day. I don't factor in my work as calorie-burning at…

  • I was about to ask the same thing, til I saw this thread. I'm just starting out (2 weeks now), and at least twice I've been under in my fat & calorie allowances but over in protien...and the red font at the bottom looked bad but I kept thinking how is high protien/low fat a bad thing? Is there a certain amount of protien…

  • I had to work up to it. First I tried having one cup in the morning and one with each meal (before whatever other drink I had). Then those plus one before and after each workout, however small. Now I have a 23 oz. water bottle that I keep filled at my desk at work, and sip from it all day, usually refilling it twice before…

  • I get annoyed by "I know, right?" in response to someone. If you KNOW, you don't have to say "right?" at the end like a question! Either you actually, positively know, or you don't know. ...Right? (jk)
