  • amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
  • That sounds different and yummy. I don't have many veggies, not enough for a stir fry. I mostly have frozen corn, frozen green beans with almond slices, and broccoli (also frozen). I could do the chicken parm though, which would be a slight change from the hamburger patty parm (which is basically elbows and a hamburger…
  • Now I want PB candy, damn it. (I'm in the PB M&M camp)
  • If its more cost effective to make your own, I would. Even if it wasn't, but I could afford to, I would make my own occasionally. It is a good amount of work to make, too. I mean, it is easy, but you need the right equipment. "Milking" the nut bag is really a pain, and makes a mess. Price out raw almonds in your area, make…
  • Yes you can use left over almond meal. You can use all of the "parts" of the almond while making almond milk, nothing has to be tossed. I've made my own and I liked it. You can sweeten it with dates if you like a sweeter almond milk. A lazy mans way of making it is use raw almond butter and water in a blender. However, I…
  • For me, the scale is typically a "week behind", sometimes up to a month behind. Meaning, what I do this week will show up next week. I can eat really well this week and the scale won' budge, but next week it will (sometimes, sometimes not, the body is weird). My weight fluctuates, even if I am consistent on my eating and…
  • I'm a fan of using salsa as salad dressing. Or lemon or lime juice. Freshly squeezed.
  • MFP is set up with a calorie deficit already. So, say you have it set to lose half a pound a week and they set you to eat 1500 calories a day, they already put in a deficit from your maintenance (the amount you'd need to eat to maintain your current weight) calories. If you burn 300 calories, your deficit is now larger and…
  • What is your intake vs burned? How are you measuring your food? What is your activity level?

  • I used to work at a bank that the policy was NO phones at the counter. At all. It was for security purposes. Now that I work at a job that doesn't have such a policy, I find it so rude when people stay on their phones. Well, it really depends I think. If you come up on your phone and you still greet me and acknowledge me…
  • Then up those calories, girl. I had those symptoms just 200 calories less than what I am eating now. Up your intake to lose 1/2-1 pound less than you have it set to now. I had to change mine to 1/2 a pound a week instead of 1. I feel SO much better, and the weight is still coming off.
  • Hunger. Light headedness. Mood change that can't be explained. More tired than usual. Cravings that can't be explained, unusual cravings. I am not saying you can't have cravings, but if they are for foods you NEVER eat I think that is odd. Or something that you don't normally crave, it's your body telling you you are…
  • I often eat the calories prior to burning them. So yes, I would eat a bigger lunch/dinner,whatever, on days you are going to exercise.
  • You easily cut 20+ years off your appearance! Excellent job :)
  • Sometimes salads are just as many calories, if not MORE calories than burger and fries. So be careful there. Also, you could order a burger and skip the cheese and mustard. Skip any sauce they add to it like ranch or a spicy sauce, or a burger sauce. You can ask for it on the side if you want. If anyone questions you can…
  • Depends - looking for an apartment complex? No harm in looking at options now. Looking for a house to rent? It's too early. Most places won't post this far in advance, typically just a month at most. I am moving Mid-July and I just started to look at apartment complexes but I am also hoping a house will pop up.
  • Thank everyone :)
  • I've been looking on CL and for the most part, it is local apartment complexes being listed. OR large houses, like 4-5 bedrooms. I just get frustrated with it.
  • Because if you aren't on my friends list, why are you checking my diary? Mine is open if you are a friend, otherwise, it's closed.
  • We are similar! SW - 278 (or something like that) CW - 227 GW - 180 (or less, we will see) Height - 5'9 (and a half) Age 25
  • Thanks for all the responses, they were helpful. Yes, I am in the USA. I'm in Washington state. I was doing a google search last night but it was just all overwhelming for me. I have always been one to not do something if I am unsure about it, which is why I've put this off for so long. But I refuse to let myself do that…
  • Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Same Love.
  • Thanks, I will check them out. I was never a fan of VS but I am willing to give them a try again.
  • I'm now a 36DDD....what is your favorite bra? I am in need of one that kind of pushes the girls together since my breast are wide set, but not SQUISHED together lol.
  • Okay, thanks! I've been measuring myself for years, but have always stayed the same size for both cup and band. I just didn't expect to go up in cup size. Not to mention I was a little shocked to see that cup size. I will get professionally measured when I am at my goal weight. And then get bras for every style top,…
  • If they called it "Family size", it wouldn't be an issue.
  • Thanks! I ended up making (homemade) hot cocoa with a scoop of almond butter in it. Yum.
  • Thanks for that website, I found a few things I could make but I am also feeling really lazy. lol I guess I am probably out of luck unless I run to the store. I'm tempted to, but, nah.
