What does cooked rice mean? Risoto like? Boiled to the end of the world? A little `al dente`? What type of rice? It depends so much on the quantity of water absorbed that I always weight it uncooked. Whole grain white rice (at least the one I use) when it's cooked all the way (it absorbed all the water it can) almost…

Clothes size is pretty much like weight right now for me. Good to take into account, but in the end it doesn't matter as long as I look great. Right now I can go to different stores, try on different items and fit in clothes raging from S to XL. It's the cut, the brand, whatever, it doesn't matter. This week I tried in…

A whole grain bun + one cut in half chicken burger + pickles mixture + huge salad (white cabbage, pear, carrot, ruccola, all great stuff) = less than 500 calories All homemade and proud of miself. Very filling salad. Pizza cake (it's all you would put in a pizza, including dough, all mixed up in the food processor and…

First thing I think is Ariel, the little mermaid. :D

I'm also 5'7''. 25 years old. When I started here I had the ideal that 60 kg (130-132 lbs) where the perfect weight for me. I have been fat most of my life, so I didn't had any idea at which weight I looked better. But it seems ok. I am somewhere at 150 lbs right now (somewhere under 69 kg... I'm with the metric system,…

What default? There is no default. The calories are given according with your setting of expected weight loss and height and age. I started here with a goal to lose 1 lbs a week, so I was eating almost 1850 calories. Now I dropped to 1740 (not the MFP setting anymore, it's the calorie count that gives me stable weightloos…

Multigrain wrap (190 calories) + 125 g of burrito filling made by myself (133 calories) + 16 g of smoked cheese (56 calories) + 1 egg yolk (55 calories) I usually eat my eggs whole, but yesterday evening I made a face mask using egg white, so I had the yolk to consume (although I could use it on my hair :laugh: )

Having a relationship depends on so many things, that even weight sometimes does not count. I see lots of... fat girls having great relationships. Sometimes with actually ggod looking guys. And it's not about money or other stuff. They see something in those girls. Something beautiful that goes beyong weight. I had a very…

I'm a Software Systems Engineer. I love my job and I just wish to become more skilled/proficient at my job. Well... I would also love to be a Software Systems Architect... just to have a more `pompous` job title. :laugh: I also love the area I work in right now... but I just changed my job... so I don't know... in a few…

Too look better and yourger Fell good about myself and feel beautiful in the clothes I want to wear (the second part beeing king of hard... even if I were at a perfect weight, it's not like any clothes will be flattering for my body part... but at least have more clothes I love fit good) Be able to do more challenging…

I have a document on my computer in which I write the recipies I like. It sometimes is a pain in the *kitten* to translate (if necessary) and write them, but I bookmark them (online or offline) until I can. It's the only system in which I can put recipies from all the sources. And I have them in only one place.

I actually use both and I guess it is an issue of how can I manage my day. For example, during work-week for me eating 3 meals + 2 snacks is easier, because it isn't confortable having 3 small meals at work. Also, I get to lunch with my co-workers and this is a great way to get in touch and I have notices this is better…

I do the same. Logging will never be 100% percent accurate, the calorie count differs even for the same product (the value is just an average)... so I don't care for the + or - 20 calories, I don't weight apples, pears, peaches, bananas, tangerines... I prefer to be more carefull with rich calorie things. I can be very…

Each person is different and some people have wider bones than others (as some have longer bones than others and such they are taller), so they appear larger even if they have the same body fat percentage as others. You can see this mostly on woman's hip. Some have a wider hip bone, some one smaller. Or on men. Some have…

Whole bread with goat cream cheese and ham. 3 slices.

Give it time. It takes time to adjust to a new body and when you loose 12 kg in just a few months it may be harder for you to cope with your new image. I have the same issues. It takes like... months before I realise than I'm not that size anymore. And I lost 26 kgs!!! I'm like... WTF??? What's wrong with my brain? I lost…

It would be nice reaching the `perfect body` for my constitution (I kind of don't care about the number on the scale, as long as I look good). But the realistic goal is to continue doing this, get more toned and off course, lose more of the fat. And get more sleep!

I usually take a break from logging when I go visit my family (Christmas too) because it's a little frustating to log without my scale. But I take care what I eat and about portions. In my family there isn't to much of `meal` celebration. We just eat normal stuff, like everyday. Where are mostly celebrating that we have…

"To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be…

I weight all ingredients raw. I only weight recipies I enter with their weight (like instead of entering 4 servings, I enter 1 serving for each 100 grams of that recipie, to be able to eat a more or less big portion depending on the calories available that day).

I lost 25 kg (about 55 lbs) but I can't say the winter is feeling colder. But I do have a better peripheral blood circulation (my feet for example don't get cold as they use to) and I get less broken capillaries on my calves so my blood flow definetly got better after the loss. So I guess I have less fat, but a better…

Long time no posting here. Gotta make more beautifull dishes and take more photos. Rice with sea food. Cream of broccoli served with a little topping of gried onion. Rice with boletus mushrooms and gorgonzola. With portion control I can savor this goodness at about 300 calories and regret nothing. Mmmm...

You can flavor chicken with almost anything. You can marinade it with lemon juice, ginger and garlic and then grill it. You can use all kind of spices and herbs to make it savory even if you grill it or roast it every day: www.spicesinc.com/p-1161-the-41-best-chicken-spices-seasonings-and-rubs.aspx You can put 2 thin…

I buy clothes that fit and look great (well, as great as they can considering my body) now. I think it is important to look nice and with good shaped clothes no mather the size. I also try to get clothes that would look nice even if they become loose. As I lose weight, my body changes in ways I don't imagine. I can't…

When I started here I wanted to reward myself with a holiday in England (it should have been in August this year, as I imagined that time). I didn't lost my weight by then. Even now I have some to lose. But I have my steady rithm, I have changed my lifestyle, I done a thing that I never could have imagined I could do.…

I eat whatever I want, as long it fits in my calories goals, like many people here. I try to eat the food that satisfies my hunger and my cravings. It's a lifestyle. I do this for a year and 3 months and I could go like this forever. Well, I do try to have a balanced diet... like having my veggies daily (but I like some…

Chicken with cuscus and veggies, sided near some tzatzichi (inspired by a Jamie Oliver Recipie from 15 minutes meals :D)

Thta's what MFP is about, ain't it? I'm doing these weighing thing since I started using MFP, more than a year ago. I then to be more mathsy and controlling, so weighting food works like a charm on me. I don't always have a scale at hand, but after a while you know by eye how much is that grilled chicken breast and those…

It's so strange seeing picture of results here... it makes you realise how different each body is. I',m 5'7'' also, but at 160 lbs I look exactly like you at 210 lbs. Truly. I hope to look at 130 lbs just like you at 170.

I guess it's all in a good combination of base and toppings. A base with less calories can be either a low call tortilla either a homemade thin crust (just water, flour and a bit of salt). But the healthiest choice would be a cauliflower crust (you can find tons of recipies on the internet for cauliflower pizza). Then you…
