Hello all, I'm Jenna, having another go at this healthy lifestyle again. This is my 4th time using MFP. I've been up and down with my weight and everytime it goes back up, I'm always bigger than ever. Finally hit 310 this year and am feeling really scared about my health and my past failures. I feel like I have so much to…

I've been strongly considering this. I haven't registered yet though. Do you know what time you want to register for?

Oh yeah, I completely understand. Here they call it "cedar fever" and it makes me want to peel off my face to I can scratch all those itchy places behind my eyes and between my ears, nose, and throat. BTW, if you feel a sneeze coming on but can't quite get it to blow, look at a bright light. It's called the Photic Sneeze…

Oh yeah, I am utterly terrified to get rid of my fat clothes. I have a history with major yo-yoing (100+ lbs each time) and every time I got rid of my fat clothes then had to buy more when everything got too tight. This time though, I am not dieting but making a serious lifestyle change that I am setting up to continue for…

I would in half a second if I could afford it. We have a couple of nude beaches here and the feel of the water and the warm sun and wind on your skin is the best feeling in the world. Plus, nudists tend to be really body positive people in that there is much less shaming of anyone about their body type, size, shape or…

I actually love chicken breasts, and I find them really versatile. My current favorite recipes is Balsamic Chicken with Pears and Cherries. The sauce is delicious (recipe below). Also, for really juicy chicken breasts, I pound mine to about 1/4-1/2 inch uniform thickness, season with salt, pepper and rosemary, toss it into…

I made one yesterday and added 2T of unsweetened cocoa powder as well. It was sooooo yum, it's a perfect post workout, and really bumps up my protein for the day! Thanks JSRG for the recipe!

Lol, that's what came to my mind as well!

Oh man, I was just thinking about this. Definitely COCONUT MILK, especially in curry. Ohhh geeze, even thinking about it makes my mouth water, but with 12 grams of saturated fat per serving, it's something I only make once in a great while.

Wow, what an amazing change! Congrats!

Holy Cow! What a transformation!

Also, I just added this cake, with the statistics listed, to the MPF database under Justsomerandomgirl's High protein, low calorie, low net carb microwave coconut cake to make it easier to add to your diary.

I just made one of these and it was awesome! It's really moist, but also fluffy. i made it in a coffee cup and am eating it with some fruit. I want to try adding cocoa powder tomorrow, or maybe some blueberries in the batter?

:bigsmile:

Though I don't normally enjoy MMOs, I am really into The Secret World. I also love Borderlands, and lots of indie games on Steam. Several of my friends play Starcraft, but I don't currently own it.

Sounds great! I'll definitely be trying this.

I always thought it mean Kosher. Like pork and shellfish are unclean. No meat and dairy at the same time.

Wow, what an incredible and heartbreaking story. I am so sorry that you had to go through so much, but I'm glad you have made so much progress and are feeling better, physically and emotionally. Those pictures are inspiring!

I think it could be a result of a radical lifestyle change. I lived in Thailand for about a year and a half and when I first got there, I completely lost my appetite for a few months. I didn't have any physical or psychological issues, I was very happy and I LOVED the food, but I would eat a few bites of something and feel…

I have had hypertension ever since my late teens. For me it was from a genetic predisposition combined with an unhealthy lifestyle. My doctors scared the crap out of me, saying I might have a stroke at 30 if I didn't get it under control, so I understand it's really scary! I did take meds for a while, but the last time I…

Here, this may help. The Squatty Potty! http://www.squattypotty.com/default.asp

Best. Idea. Ever. Ok, this will be part of my next game night. :)

Oooo I like the card idea. Not sure why i didn't think of that because I use it with my students all the time for Speech Therapy activities. Thanks!

I mostly like to bite apples. Only sometimes people.

@BeachIron: Lol, that's awesome for you. I wish it was fun for me. :( Maybe if the heavy things were like a cute puppy or a really hot person. :) @adini: That sounds like a cool idea. I'll have to check it out, thanks. :) Also, I'm not sure what you mean by your question about caloric surplus? I've been trying to stay…

Yay! I love these moments. I definitely have difficulty stopping eating if there is still food on my plate, so thanks for the great example. I will keep you in mind next time I am out to eat.

Tank tops. Definitely tank tops. Or really any sleeveless clothing.

Be really careful of the clonazapan, it can be highly addictive and if you take it everyday ( for an extended period of time) then just stop without tapering off, there is a risk of seizures. I have heard that antidepressants can cause anxiety when you first start taking them but that it tapers off after you adjust and are…

Just bumping this to see if anyone knew the answer, or could direct me to a good source of info.

I would like to know this as well.
