I do this too. Take February, for example. I somehow managed to gain 5 pounds. awesome-sauce.

cilantro is a leafy green veggie -- somewhat resembling parsley.

i bought my mom flowers. my dog gets a bone.

If you want a healthy, low-cal ranch dressing, try the Ranch Yogurt Dressing by Bolthouse Farms. delicious.

I have a 2007, 4-door, fully loaded, Crimson-colored Chevy Cobalt. :smile:

basically this. add bacon for more pleasure.

thanks, friend!

this makes sense. Thanks!

yeah, i haven't used MFP's settings since I figuired out how to use this program over a yera ago. I have mine set at 40 C, 30 P, 30 F for now. I can't drink straight-up milk -- i'm somewhat lactose intollerant. Cheese, yogurt, etc doesn't seem to bother me, but cow's milk gives me stomach cramps like the ****ens. I drink…

wait... what?! rubbish. 1) unless you want to donate millions to me so I can quit my job just to be able to work out in the morning, running in the morning is not an option for me. 2) I do not eat breakfast when I first wake up. I usually eat breakfast 1-2 hours AFTER i wake up. EVERY day. 3) getting used to an empty…

Awesome!! Thank you!!!

Thank you!! I have a feeling I won't be able to hit 40% protein every day. le sigh. so I sent my macros (for now to see how it goes) to 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. we'll see how I do with this.

MMM. turkey and shrimp -- love those! I'll have to stock up on those and keep them in the freezer for eazy grab-and-go type lunches for work. Cheese is also a great idea. the only beans I can really tolerate is refried beans (lol) and the occasional serving of black beans. i love, LOVE greek yogurt.

they eat too much...?

no joke - I want one of these to stick on my entertainment center. i want another to put on my desk at work. and another to put no my bookshelf in my room. and another to put on my kitchen table. instant motivation to make healthier decisions at every turn throughout the day.

Thanks!!!

Agree. When I ran all the time aa year ago I was dropping weight pretty quickly. and my moods were better, I had more energy, etc.

THIS was super helpful. thank you ever so much for taking the time to type those well-thought-out 14 words of immense wisdom. :huh:

Thanks!

what do you eat to hit your protein goals every day...? I eat yogurt almost every day... and eggs. I literally feel like I have eggs coming out my ears. And fish -- but a person can only consume so much fish.

Got it! Thanks!!

any suggestions on what my macros should be...?

ok! awesome! Thank you! When measuring food on a food scale, should I weigh it raw (before it's cooked), or after I cook it?

I am currently training for a 5k. however, I already get up at 5:30 every morning since I start work at 6:30 every moring, so exercising in the mornings is not an option. unfortunately... no, not unfortunately. I'm allergic to mornings, so even if I didn't have to be to work until 10:00, I still probably wouldn't work out…

I walk 1.5-1.75 miles (30-35mins @ 3-3.5mph) after lunch every day. when I got home last night I walked the treadmill for 6 miles (90mins @ 4mph), then an additional .5 miles (10mins @3-3.5mph). then I did about 5-10 minutes of yoga. that was why I had an insane calorie burn last night. carb-cutting is something I've been…

well, this was suggested to me by several other people when I was trying to figure out my protein intake. should I make adjustments to that?

ok. sodium cutting will be a focus from now on. Thank you!

in terms of weightloss...? i don't. whatever happens, happens. in terms of bacon...? i aim to eat at least 5 pounds a week. :wink:

You look amazing! Well done and congrats!! Also, your 2013 picture on the bottom right looks like Jessica Capshaw (AKA Arizona Robbins from Grey's Anatomy) -- gorgeous!

you don't. you can't make yourself *like* avocados. I, personally, despise avocados and their bi-products in every way, shape, and form. like, I'd rather gouge my eye out with a dull, rusty butterknife than force myself to eat an avocado. just. sayin'. :glasses:
