I think that it is really important to personalize your diet. So its important to try a bunch of things and truly reflect on what works best for you and your life. Remember, it is very possible to eat literally anything you want and lose weight, so long as you are at a caloric deficit, but that doesn't appeal to me because…

The trick is to do this WITHOUT judgement. Try and remove the guilt and proceed objectively. Imagine that you are someone else, a friend maybe and you're trying to help them through some weight loss. What would you tell them? We are often kinder to others then we are to ourselves. Also try and log your calories no matter…

You can 100% do this again. I know you can do it because you already did it! You are capable, you are strong. Do not get discouraged, next time when you start to hit a good weight just ease up a bit and allow yourself a bit more calories so that you don't feel deprived.

Great job!!!! I don't see the pic but I'm sure its awesome:)
-
We've all been there! I totally understand where you are coming from. I agree about the need to prioritize. Find ways to incorporate exercise and healthy eating into your life instead of adding it as a separate "chore". If that makes any sense.... So try running to classes instead of walking. Try finding easy tricks in the…

The learning curve is all about experimentation. Be willing to try stuff out - there are a lot of food blogs out there which help give me inspiration. If you're feeling adventurous and have the money try local cooking classes. I used to get discouraged making a big recipe because I knew I would have to log each ingredient…

Good luck! You can do it!
-
Thats amazing on so many different levels!
-
Maybe consider messing around with some breakfast wraps - nice and portable. maybe stuff a tortilla with spinach and eggs, or peanut butter or cream cheese and smoked salmon or what ever floats your boat. There are also some good recipes for morning glory muffins on the internet - make a batch of 12 and have with either a…

In my experience people are encouraged not to even pay attention to other people in the classes - the point is often to look inward and experience it in your own body. So if you are in a class that welcomes beginners I would not feel self conscious. I find classes to be a WAY better experience - especially hot yoga. that…

I think your plan sounds great!!! focus on quality for now and incorporate exercise, sounds perfect. I have a textbook that covers pregnancy and weight gain etc... I will look into for you when I get the chance!
-
Wow you can really see a difference, keep it up!!
-
This is just a guess but I would actually think the calorie burn would be different. Think of it like this:your body burns different types of energy depending on what is available. So at first you would be using glycogen stores in your muscle then depending on your intensity you may either use lactic acid (the muscle burn)…

great job! good for you!! :)
-
awesome!!!!
-
wow that graph really says it all. when you had those little 'blips' is when many people throw in the towel and fall off the wagon. So many people beat themselves up for not being perfect around holidays and vacation. Just because you gained a couple lbs doesn't mean you can't see TRUE success. Point and proof right there!
-
wow absolutely amazing!! great job!
-
and this!
-
you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. It might work out it might not, you just never know How do you know about her? Do you ride the elevator together? have you spoken with her before? Take it slow so as not to freak her out, maybe even start with a smile and slowly work up to a conversation, try and find something in…

agreed

Southern Ontario here! anyone feel free to add!

Agreed, but I wouldn't call labelling laws on food products paranoia. I think it's a completely different argument. its not like I want to ban GMOs, a small G in a circle on the back of a bag of chips is not likely to damage vaccinations or other medical endeavours
-
While I think that is a valid argument that many people have, I think consumers have a right to know and make their own choices. And I think that's more important than huge companies seeing a small net loss in profit. Not to mention we label cigarette packs with gross looking lungs, and we tell consumers about the side…
-
We are "myopically focused on Monsanto" because they are the main biotech company in the food industry. and since this post was centred around food, and this is a food and nutrition based website, that is the main concern here... Hooray for medicine! there SHOULD be a way to separate legislation for the food industry and…
-
Yeah don't go thinking they are a seed company, they are first and foremost a chemical company working in agriculture
-
I wouldn't disagree with you on this. I would consider myself "pro-stem cell research", "pro-vaccincation" and even "pro-golden rice" etc. Because these are relevant and useful tools to all of society. If GMOs were used to create food for developing nations - awesome I'm all for it. Instead it is being used in the north…
-
Yep there is no doubt a benefit, it is a heIl of a lot easier to own hundreds of acres of corn or soy because you can spray herbicides all over the place without your plants dying, instead of specifically attacking the weeds.
-
Its not that you can't by corn number 2 at a seed store, its that if their seeds drift onto your lot, the can sue the pants off of you for having their highly specific type of seed and making money off it
-
Agreed, I just meant that the mono cropping was likely what caused the need for GMOs. I would also agree that it is more of an environmental issue as most studies agree the nutrient value does't change much after genetic modification (exception: golden rice)
