Can you pull your boyfriend aside and ask if he can figure out how to include you in the conversation? Otherwise, forget them. They don't sound very friendly and it says more about them that they didn't include you when you're the person who is new, and they already know each other. That's rude.

Straight off the spoon, with a chaser of everything in sight to get the taste out of my mouth. It tastes like metal and has the texture of eating toothpaste so maybe I should have mixed it.

Blackstrap molasses (supposed to be a good source of iron). Do not want ever again.

This is genius and I wonder why in my 24 years of life I haven't thought of this.

I think the kind of happy you get after you've lost weight stems from getting lots of compliments, noticing your clothes looking better, and feeling healthier/sexier in general. I think this kind of happy probably wears off after a couple of months of losing the weight because you get used to being thinner and then find…

Step away from the scale and give yourself a break. It sounds to me like you are really stressing out about this. Stress = cortisol = weight gain and other bad things (there are studies on this subject, I didn't just make that up). At 5'7 and 162, you are not overweight. You are exercising and now eating better, you are…

I tried bikram yoga for about a month and I went to about 15 classes within that month, hoping that it would get better. My feeling about it is that I just didn't get out of it what I got out of other forms of yoga. I got the physical benefit, and felt noticeably trimmer and leaner, especially in my arms and thighs.…

Good question! I was drawn to yoga mostly because I was stressed and angry a lot of the time and wanted to try yoga as something to help me get to a better mental state. Once I started, I also really liked the physical benefits of it, getting more flexible and having a stronger body. I have noticed that on the days that I…

Sweet potato smoothie: blend sweet potato with cinnamon, a little milk (i use coconut milk), vanilla yogurt, honey, ripe banana, and ice. tastes like pumpkin pie!

Just joined this group, love this idea :smile: So far tonight: Me:1 LNS: 0 Cut off time for snacking is anything after dinner although I will let myself have some cut up raw veggies if desperate.

As a snack, I make my own trail mix - I buy each of the following individually and then portion out in a little snack bag: Dried fruit like craisins, dried mango, or dried cherries - I try and choose ones that have no added sugar Nuts and seeds (my personal favs are pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and almonds) Anddd, I like to add…

The only thing I can think of that will give you noticeable results in this tiny amount of time is to go NO carb, I mean cutting out all sugar, bread, rice, potatoes, chips, crackers, alcohol, etc. I did this myself the week before a vacation and my stomach looked thinner, no bloating whatsoever after 3 or 4 days.
