If there was no more bacon, consumers would buy a lot more sausage. If there was no more bacon, there would be no food blogs who are run by lovers of bacon. *coughhowsweeteatscough* If there was no more bacon, there would be a decrease in people walking around as a human nitrate. If there was no more bacon, less people…

Def not trying to be insulting, but maybe trying to get healthy/lose weight in a healthy manner, or just trying to accept someone's own body image would save girls like me from dealing with weight issues our entire lives, or even having to be on MFP when we're older. All I want is to actually accept my body, one day at a…

Peanut butter Diana Ross and the Supremes albums Baked oatmeal Cloud staring on a hot day When my mind says "lets go work out" and my body says "girl, this couch is comfortable" Dancing spontaneously in the living room My little brother's smile Why not ask what our strengths are instead?

Get you some free-range, grass (and bug) fed chickens. Eat their eggs. All of the egg. Eat 1, or 3 if you're feeling wild. IMO, eggs like that are not only delicious, they are healthy. Taking the yolk away from the white is like taking the fat out of peanut butter. It's a whole food source - not just supposed to be taken…

AT LEAST 1/4 cup of nut butter each day. :huh: 'Cause I can. :bigsmile:

:laugh: ROFL, I think I can imagine...

Congrats on the start of your journey! It sounds like you've already made amazing progress. :)

bump. :smile: This thread is important! I've only been on the reset for about 5, don't know how you EVER did 13. :huh: Congrats to you, brave soul! :drinker:

:bigsmile: ROFL, good luck, and congrats! After about week 4, the reset isn't so bad, and you can't imagine how you're going to eat SO LITTLE on the cut. :sad: Don't be afraid to ask a TON of questions - that's the only way to get a semblance of what the heck you're doing! :wink:

I can totally relate! LOL, like seriously???:grumble: MFP would say "If you eat this much, you'll lose 3 pounds in 5 weeks. In reality, I was GAINING at that rate. :laugh: I hated it! At least now when it says "you will gain 5 pound in 5 weeks" it's right, 'cause with the reset, I do believe it! :bigsmile:

I think King Arthur flour has some gluten free recipes on their site www.bakerscatalogue.com. They also sell quite a lot of gluten free, all natural mixes and flours as well. I also know of a healthy living blog that has tons of gluten free recipes www.edibleperspective.com I'm not gluten free, but I hope this helps! :)

Taylor Swift - "The Best Day"

ROFL. Love it! :laugh:

1. What did you have for breakfast? Eggs with ham, bacon, and two kinds of cheese.\ 2. How much water do you drink per day? Six glasses, or eight if I'm really thirsty and/or working out with a lot of sweat that day. 3. What are your favorite snacks? Peanut butter with bananas, eggs with spinach, and any sort of protein I…

Yes, the doctor was the same one I went to to get diagnosed for Ed. I was like "Are you crazy?" :noway: Sigh. It's like they diagnose the symptoms, and not the root problem. But that's a discussion for a different day. :frown:

I'm thankful to eat most food, but I cannot cannot stand vienna sausages. They taste like cat food, and as anyone who has tasted them knows, that's not an exaggeration.

Umm...honestly? Milkshakes. The ones with good quality vanilla ice cream, just ripe fruit or dark chocolate or reeses cups, touch of milk, and oh yes, mountains of whipped cream. Oh man. I might need one of these now. Shoot.

:smile: That would be awesome. What's the title of this thread for anyhow? Maybe we should have tickers for how many pounds we gained. LOL, "20 pounds gained and not looking back!" :laugh: Just kidding. It would be awesome if we could do the pounds gained thing if we knew how much muscle we gained, but otherwise it could…

I was just a little kid 11 years ago, not yet fully comprehending what happened. We were driving to our house after dropping Daddy off at work, and listening to the radio when Mom heard the news. None of us seven kids knew what had happened, except that it was not only an attack to our nation, but to us as Americans. We…

Bread pudding. 'nuff said.:frown:

LOL, that everyone could come out of this as toned and strong as you! :smokin: It's just good to hear that I might learn to appreciate them later, but not necessarily have to be like "OH WOW! I JUST GAINED 20 FREAKIN POUNDS! BEST DAY EVER!" right away...:huh:

bump. Anyone?

Oh man. Just remember how many people you truly ARE helping! :heart:

Whew! I thought this was going to be a whiney, depressing, "I gained all this weight and this group didn't do anything for me, now I'm so fat, I hate you" thread. Glad to see it's not, nothing like one of those to ruin a day! ;)

The love of my family makes me feel beautiful! Thanks for starting such a positive thread!:heart:

Starting: loathed my body Current: learning to accept who I am not necessarily how I look Goal: love both my body and myself

Wait...testin out the ticker... http://sfgf.lilyslim.com/8rZlm5.png Nope. Didn't work. LilySlim - (8rZl) <a href="http://lilyslim.com/"><img src="http://sfgf.lilyslim.com/8rZlm5.png" width="400" height="80" border="0" alt="LilySlim Fitness goals tickers" /></a>

3 minutes of plank so far...does someone want to explain the ticker? I can't get mine to work. All it shows is the HTML code...

BIGGEST, HUGEST pet peeve ever! There are so many dogs where I live, and I know for a fact that if I go running with my dog, they'll give a chase. Thankfully, my dog is HUGE, but still is scared of everything...LOL. Pepper spray seems like the best bet to me. All of the dogs around here live at houses with signs that say…

Sooo...will EM2WL not be *ideal* for those who only do cardio (like me)? :frown: Would it work better with some sort of bodyweight training plan, etc? I don't have the access to weights, especially heavy ones, :sad: so bodyweight or cardio are my two options...I want to build muscle and lose fat, but don't exactly know…
