I hear ya! My SIL wanted to throw me a "Wrap Party" for my birthday. She was like "But I thought you were trying to lose weight?! If you sign up to be a distributor (only $99!), then you get free wraps! So you an lose weight AND make money." Dumb is dumb. No, thank you! Not even remotely interested.

My sister-in-law is hocking some bullcrap like this. Some "IT Works" pyramid scheme junk. "Fat burner" pills and wraps and gels. "Detox" pills and powders. All for the low, low price of $60-$350 per week! x.x I'd rather be fat than stupid.

Couple of reasons. - I don't liking having certain foods that I won't eat. I can only fix that issue by trying different preparations of those foods. I don't know that I don't like all okra, as I haven't had it many ways. I know that I don't like how my mom made it. I know that I don't like how it tastes after sitting on a…

Eh, I get what you're saying. But I like to push myself. Our taste buds change over time, and I believe you can train yourself to enjoy something over time. Plus, how things were cooked in our childhoods can shape how we view those foods as adults. For example, my mom was horrible at cooking squash and zucchini. They were…

I'm set to graduate nursing school next May. The stress makes me want to eat all of the things!

I'm assuming that boiling would take the Snot Factor through the roof. Still super weary of frying. Would 'frying' them in the oven maybe reduce the snottiness? I may give roasting a shot. You can pretty much roast anything and make it edible with some salt and EVOO.

I have an old, clear, plastic cup. Holds about 2.5 cups of liquid. Probably leaches BPA like a mofo. But that's my water cup. I'll drink out of a different cup is I have to, but it's just not the same. It sits on my desk constantly. I just refill throughout the day. Prefer it out of the tap, no ice, no straw, no frills.…

That's b/c Death Knights are terrible and ruined PVP :P No srsly, h8 death grip QQ

Bumping for ... well ... yeah.

Is there a particular food that really sets you off? For me, if I have a craving for something (let's just use chocolate as an example), it will start off as just a craving for that one thing. But if I don't indulge that craving and let myself have a little piece of chocolate, then I start craving EVERYTHING.

On my official weigh-in day (Monday), I weigh myself 3 times consecutively and take whatever number shows up twice.

Eh. I'm not here to get atta girls from internet strangers. That being said, only 1/3 of my friends fit that bill. The other 2/3 are people that I speak with on a semi-/regular basis in real life. And like someone else mentioned, I'd rather get some real feedback instead of a blind "good job." I see that and wonder if they…

This.

This is pretty much my opinion too. The whole "don't eat after 7/8/9 at night" argument never made sense to me. If you're within your goal, it shouldn't matter when you eat the bulk of your calories.

I'm happy with +/- 100 from my goal.

There was a news interview thing with some WBC folks that I saw a while back. I forget which news program, and I'm not sure that this woman was the same teenager they were interviewing for that program. Anyway, this teenage girl got a clue and decided to leave the WBC. She is not allowed to have contact with her family, as…

bumping for something I can grab in the morning other than overnight oats!

I spread the LC Swiss on bread for sandwiches. Their cream cheeses are pretty tasty on bagels and English muffins.

This is me. There are some days when I go significantly over my goal. I force myself to log everything. If I don't log it, then I'm just doing it for appearances so my MFP diary looks good. It doesn't change the fact that I actually ate it. Instead of shaming myself and feeling like I have to hide, I just log it all and…

I prefer to workout around 8a-9a, but my husband is still asleep then. We live in a tiny house that squeaks & shakes when I jump around. So I've moved my indoor workout time to 4:30p after he is gone to work. When it's nice outside, I'll still go for a run around 8am, though.

I restarted 30DS this week. I have 3lb and 5lb weights, which I didn't want to use. So I grabbed two big water bottles and used those as weights. I've heard of people using soup cans, too. They give you a little weight without being too much when you're just starting out.

So much love for this thread! I got a slow cooker for Christmas and have been hunting for healthy set-it-and-forget-it recipes!

People who don't turn right on red when it's clear. People who don't understand that you can turn left on red from a one-way to a one-way if clear. People who go 10+ miles under the speed limit on a road where I can't pass them. Double this annoyance if it's because they are texting/talking on their phone! Minus annoyance…

oooo Pick me, pick me! I'm 5' 11" too!

Best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.

I refuse, REFUSE to buy snakeoil. Shakeology Body By Vi IT Works SlimFast MegaSuper Green Tea Acai Poopberry Smoothies with extra Fat Burner Awesome Sauce Snakeoil. The lot of it.

If you've very overweight, there's nothing wrong with continuing with your exercise regime and losing weight while pregnant. Assuming that you're getting enough nutrients and are doing so with your physician's guidance. Even when you go to gain weight, it's pretty much the equivalent of 1 extra PB&J every day. You can just…
