Mashed banana and cocoa powder... almost like chocolate pudding :D

What they mean is that in the UK, what they call pants are our underpants. And our pants are their trousers.

My cat crawled over to come sit on me, then just gave me a look and walked away as I'm not as fluffy anymore :neutral_face:

For that much, you probably would need protein powder(and drinking hemp milk would probably help, you can google how to make it), however, this is a pretty good article on how to make sure you get "complete" proteins into a vegetarian diet: http://greatist.com/health/complete-vegetarian-proteins

I have a 1 gallon GLASS water pitcher with a Kishu Binchotan Charcoal Stick at the bottom to passively filter it. That way I don't have the yucky flavor of plastic bottle or the yucky flavor of our tap water, makes it much easier to drink. Then I just refill it overnight and tomorrow's water is waiting for me in the…

Good Luck! I know you probably don't have much free time at all, but I've also found, that when people have very demanding lifestyles like this, sometimes when they do have free time they tend to just "veg," sit doing absolutely nothing. If you find that applies to you at all, i.e in downtime between classes, etc, one…

I am still working on losing weight, but my advice to you is that it is more important to feel strong than to have the scale read some sort of "ideal" number. Especially as there is a point where losing more weight hurts your health, although that point varies from person to person. As a grandchild, I can tell you it is…

I weigh myself daily after the morning bathroom break ;) But I only log it in mfp if I'm down 2lbs from the last time I logged my weight, which isn't necessarily the "better" way to do it, seeing all those little up and down spikes from daily weight fluctuation can clue you in to trends, especially when you're a woman, but…

Ah, okay, I removed the mark after reading that link; however, after reading her post, I assumed that she does not use essential oils herself, and was looking to other people for information about their experiences about them, given that this would still be the wrong forum for it, but I suppose it is possible that either…

I marked it as spam as I have seen no posts in this thread related to anyone trying to sell anything. Unless if it had already been deleted by a moderator before I could read it.

I use essential oils to make a scented body spray, moisturizer, and deodorant, to avoid the strange chemicals in store bought ones, but I do not use them for "medicinal" purposes. And as for those who say "pseudoscience," essential oils have the same compounds that are used in modern medicine. For example, peppermint and…

Today I walked over 5 miles without needing a break. A couple of years ago, I would complain about needing to even walk a half mile.

This, especially when they're talking about the breasts, because they don't realize that half of what I had before was just fat around the boobs, which I am much happier without.

60% protein does seem a lil crazy, but if you just want to up your protein intake in general, I find eating chicken helps a lot. Days where I have chicken it usually tells me I hit my protein goal before lunch. Greek yogurt has a good amount of protein too. Make chicken salad with plain greek yogurt instead of mayonaisse,…

I gained like 3 lbs overnight on thanksgiving, but most of it was water weight, and I'm back down now. You gotta keep in mind to actually gain a pound of fat, you gotta eat 3500 excess calories. So to really gain 4 lbs on thanksgiving, you'd have to have overeaten 14000 calories, which I'm pretty sure is damn near…

Not going to guess as I've learned that people who are over weight tend to guess you weigh more than you do, and people who are skinny tend to guess you weigh less than you do-- but I hope I can get my belly that flat one day!

I haven't done any of those, and I haven't needed to. Spend $20 on a foodscale instead so you can accurately measure the portions of what you eat, fill the fridge with precut carrot/celery/cucumbers/whatever sticks so that if you get hungry between meals you can snack without adding too many calories, and log everything.…

I made a turkey noodle casserole with turkey legs, peas, egg noodles, carrots, onion, celery. :smile:

Also American here, but I pay $40 for a membership at my local gym, they are usually $60/month, but my brother and I both go so we got a discount. It's a small local gym, so there aren't any frills, and classes are extra, but the staff is helpful and don't mind helping you learn things if they're not busy with a class or a…

You can also put zucchini or yellow squash through spiral vegetable cutter(you can get cheapo ones for ~$15) if you want to save some more money on the produce and want it to be cooked quicker.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think maybe I'll see if the clinic's free or if not how much it is before deciding if I go, but not worry too much unless he bugs me again :X

Okay, so I guess I don't need to start carrying around pepper or pest spray yet(What weight does that happen at? ;) ) I know I'm just overly nervous in general, and I should be used to strangers being weird as I work at the local grocery store so it's like everyone knows who I am but I have no clue who 80% of these people…

I'm not in a relationship, so I'm not the best judge, but I know if I was, and they spent months preparing for something, and they wanted me to be there for them-- Yes, I would "waste" a day to be there even if I didn't really want to be there. Hell, heavens knows I've spent more than 6 hours waiting around in hospitals…

A big piece of advice, is to make it easier for you to make good choices instead of bad choices. When you come home from the grocery store, clean your fruits and veggies, and chop up some veggie sticks. I find if you keep a little water at the bottom of your container, the veggies stay very nice and crispy for most of a…

Alright, thanks, it's feeling a bit better now, but possibly just a tad bit underinflated still, but once I put the stopper in it's such a pain to get out that I think I will just make do with it for now XD Took so long that I wish I had followed the instructions recommendation to use a bike pump instead of the included…

I haven't run into that problem yet, but my brother did when he went into a really intense weight lifting/weight loss program and overindulged in protein powder til his kidneys nearly failed. So, obviously, losing your weight at a healthier rate likely helps, and I've also invested in a skin brush(you can google dry skin…

I think both of those would count as possible goals ;) Not weight loss goals, but a goal all the same. I think, if being healthier is your goal, then your goal should just be "Make healthier decisions today" with the emphasis of /today/ as I think that when you "fail" one day, it makes it a lot harder to keep going the…

I find it's really more about the seasonings than what you put it on... When I'm craving asian food, sometimes I'll chop some cabbage up into "noodles", toss it in a /little/ olive oil, then add plenty of garlic and a touch of ginger, sea salt, you can either pan fry it or bake it... It's not exactly the same but it might…

I'm in. My goal is gonna be 12,000 steps a day or more :3 It's a little hard on my work days when I spend the whole time standing or sitting, but that's the point of setting goals. 10/01-- 12497 -- 12497 10/02-- 9573 -- 22070 10/03-- 20715 -- 42785 10/04-- 14113 -- 56898(so far) Goal-- 12000 -- 372000

You work your a** off to lose 15 pounds and no one asks you "Are you losing weight?" and tbh you can't tell the difference either XD
