Vegan mayonnaise does not have eggs: vegan.com/mayonnaise/

Eeeewwwww. Am I the only one grossed out by this? LOL I pay attention to my BLTs, but I don't log them unless there are a significant amount in one day. I usually round up the gram count for everything I weigh and figure that helps offset the occasional tasting and testing. It's been working so far, so I see no reason to…

Someone linked to an article in another thread a while back that talked about this. While it did say that people who have lost weight have to eat less calories to maintain than people who have never been overweight, I'm pretty sure it also said that this is a temporary phenomenon and that after about 7 years (I think it…

That is not how I have interpreted MFP's intent. For me, it's not "burn so you can eat a normal amount of food," but "make sure you eat enough for your body to support the burn that you do." That works for me.

This works for me! And I have one other rule - I don't do anything else when I eat at home. No TV, no reading, no computer, nothing. I give myself a few exceptions so I don't go crazy, but it's only foods I know I can control. The best way to stop mindless eating is to start mindful eating. This is what got me started:…

A Tramp Abroad by Mark Twain and Our Lady of the Fowers by Jean Genet

I took it several times within a period of a few months back in the '80s and I got a different type every single time. I don't always feel the same way about things, I guess.

That is so true! What it really helped me to understand is this: If I have the thought that X would taste really good right now and I don't have to choose between eating it and what I am currently doing, I will ALWAYS eat it. If I have to think about whether or not I want to stop what I am doing -- turn off the TV, step…

Mindful eating: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/08/dining/mindful-eating-as-food-for-thought.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&ref=dining&adxnnlx=1387380058-u/BuA7kGvuDnfsRpB3kzaw This was the one thing that brought everything else together for me. I don't worry about it as much when I'm not at home, especially in social situations…

LOL Word.

We went to Vegas for Thanksgiving and had no internet access in our rooms and I don't have a smart phone so couldn't use any apps so I couldn't log anything online. The first two days I wrote everything down in a notebook with the intention of entering it all when I got back. By day 3 (of 4) I wasn't writing it down…

The decision is really up to you (as if you didn't already know that :wink: ). So, whatever you decided to do, just own it and make it work. That's always the real issue for me.

Whatever floats your boat. I do like the idea of it. If I had liked at least one of the items I might have given it another shot. I'd rather have my calories come from things I like, though. :smile:

Oh, yeah - I also have 3/4 or 1 cup of regular plain yogurt with some kind of fruit added (no sugar needed). I use whatever is in season. Right now it's mostly apples. In the fall it was apples or pears. In the summer it was peaches or mangoes. All delicious.

I mix up my oatmeal with a peanut butter and banana sandwich on whole wheat bread. Travels well and is almost as filling.

Meh. I signed up, got my free box, and cancelled. I get better taste/quality buying bulk and mixing up my own snacks. edited because I can't spell this early in the morning. edited again to add: It also costs less if I do it myself.

I would say it varies from person to person, but my short answer would be: Until you no longer crave it. For me, it was a few weeks both for fast food and for sugar (at different times - I didn't give both up at the same time.) The main difficulty with giving up fast food was that real food just didn't taste that good to…

It seems to me that this is the real issue for you. My suggestion would be to stop worrying about your co-worker and her motives and just stay focused on what will work for you. If that means moving the candy dish back to the lunch room every time it appears on the table, then just move it back to the lunch room. No fuss,…

I didn't say anything about petty squabbles or troublemaking. I simply suggested that if she does not like the candy bowl to be there and there is a common area for food, she can move the candy bowl there. That is what the other person seems to be doing in reverse.

Unless it is a corporate policy to have the candy dish there, if people keep putting it where you don't want it, just keep moving it. Doesn't matter why it keeps getting moved back or who is putting it back there.

Of the three suggested above, <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> and <i>The Left Hand of Darkness</i> would both be good choices for non sci-fi fans for a book discussion. Both have themes that transcend the genre and would make for good discussions based on both form and content, and should be of interest to any reader regardless…

Here's my go to vinaigrette. You can substitute any kind of vinegar or use lime or lemon juice, and add any herbs/spices you want: Vinaigrette for the Week 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 5 Tbsp sherry or red wine vinegar salt to taste 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1/3 cup olive oil 1/3 cup vegetable (or any other) oil 2 garlic cloves,…

I've been hitting the refresh (F5) key when I get that message and that seems to take care of it, at least as a quick-fix.

Here's how this American uses them: Someone complains about something bad that happened to them: "Oh, I hate when that happens!" Someone consistently does something that bothers me: "I hate it when you do that." Of course, that might be just me.

Put it on a foil-lined pan. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dill (or any other herb if you don't have dill but dill works best IMHO). Broil it for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn it around and broil it for another 2 to 3 minutes depending on how well cooked you want it. You can Google to determine what time works…

When all else fails I run in place, either with music looking out my window, or watching TV. No special equipment required and I can literally do it anywhere (one time I did it at my gate at the airport while waiting for a delayed flight - got some funny looks but I got my daily workout). Sometimes I'll move my arms…

I had been eating at a deficit for well over a year (with a setting to lose a pound a week, netting 1200 and eating back my exercise calories) and recently hit a plateau. I was going out of town over the Labor Day weekend and decided to eat at maintenance during that time as I had just read through this thread:…

There are also whole wheat pretzels: http://www.thefind.com/food/info-whole-wheat-pretzels
