MOO. Cows are yummy. oh, and baby cows. and lamb, and stuff from the sea... all good eats.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry. I must say though, oncology docs do not tend to sugarcoat (my father died of kidney cancer- diagnosed at stage four, and his original doc told him he had 9 months to a year- dead on.) so if they say you're going to beat this, trust them. Prayers, thoughts and strength go with you.

Just three? Ah, well... A Child Called "It" - it still haunts me. I've developed an intense passion for abused/neglected children, and deeply admire and respect those who've come out the other side better in spite of it. Teresa of Avila, The Progress of a Soul - we often think of saints (if we think of them) as being these…

Personally, I've found MFP to be pretty accurate; every so often I will compare with other exercise calorie calculators and I don't find much of a disparity. To be on the safe side, I almost never eat back all my exercise calories, and if I'm on the treadmill using a variable incline, I don't try to figure out how that…

Mine doesn't even do that. For some ungodly reason, he leaves whatever dish he's dirtied *next* to the sink. Drives me batty.

Two nights ago when he ripped the cover page of my Yoga Journal magazine apart. Granted, it had a rip in it already, but he ripped the damn thing clear off. And I did hit him. I'm still kinda annoyed about it, actually, because he not only got the cover, but the friggin table of contents! :angry:

Homemade soups are a great 'fast day' meal; I recently made a homemade chicken and hot italian sausage soup with carrot, celery, onion and rice, and a nice big steaming bowl clocked in at 310 calories (I put the recipe in the MFP recipes calculator). Pair that with a salad and it's a decent way to fill up. Or grilled…

OP, you're doing just fine. You're not hurting yourself or your metabolism; to allow yourself to be truly hungry is a good thing! North American society has gotten so used to eating at the first sign of anything (boredom, slight hunger, thirst, a particular time of day) without really discerning whether or not they/we are…

After reading the OP, all I can think about is dark chocolate dipped in peanut butter.

You likely need to increase your net goal. I'm guessing 1200 calories is too low. Also, drinking more water might help; sometimes our bodies mistake thirst for hunger. While MFP sets your calorie goal according to how much you want to lose (ie, 2lbs, 1.5lbs /wk) you should take the time to figure out your TDEE (total daily…

I've started doing IF, only since the first of the year, and thus far, I like it. I haven't fasted as perfectly as I'd like, so there's room for improvement. I think this is something I can maintain, which is the key to lasting weight loss. :)

You look AMAZING!!!!! Congratulations! And thank you for posting- we have a very similar build (judging from your heavy pics) and it's really encouraging to see the transformation that can take place. By the way, you look so much younger now!

I took this to be more broad than telling someone something with the intent of helping/hurting them. For example, having an opinion is fine, but it doesn't always need to be shared; or, one might have an opinion, but not a well thought out or educated one. It helps to know that you might not know what you're talking about,…

Maybe because they like taller women? My sister is 5'11, her boyfriend 5'9 and he likes her height. And she even wears heels on occasion!
-
I'm 5'6- any guy shorter than me is a no-go. Thankfully my husband is a half inch taller!

depends on the guy. Personally, something happens with my husbands body chemistry and his deodorant that makes him smell unbelievably awesome. Go figure :smile:

I know how you feel- I have a lot of good days, but I also have days (more than once a week) where I do great all day and then blow it at night (like yesterday). I, like many others here, do fit treats and foods I like into my daily food routine, but sometimes the urge to snack/overeat is so strong... There are certain…

Human psychology isn't static; we change and evolve (or, devolve) as we go through life, per our experiences... so yes, I think someone who has cheated can change their ways. Having said that; change does not come easy, especially as we get older and become more set in our ways of doing and thinking. Serial/chronic…

0%. If you feel the need to give them something over their base salary and probable benefits, I suppose it should be whatever you are comfortable with.

In NY, the server minimum is 4.60. We paid our servers an even $5. And as I already said, garbage collectors are compensated well by their employer. And yes, servers do make a lot of money. I never claimed otherwise Those who are good at what they do make a very good living. Those who are not, well, they don't do so well.…

Right? Our garbage is picked up by the city; last week they didn't empty our can because it was "too heavy". It was too heavy because they broke the lid off it, and we had a windy/rainy day and the garbage got wet. They came back a few days later after my calling about it, to tell us why it wasn't taken, and my husband…

Yes, their work is hard, and they paid well by their employer. Serving is more than carrying around food in a climate controlled environment. Yes, the dining room is comfortable, but kitchens are hot. Servers do spend a lot of time running around in kitchens, on their feet for hours, multitasking in a variety of ways,…

Your Face. So What? Get the *kitten* over it. Or the middle finger. That's sufficient for nearly negative encounter.

This, but to add: Eat to fuel your body, and lift heavy things. Often. Don't worry about the scale; rather, go by measurements, how your clothes fit and how you feel. I think taking a picture of yourself right now would be a good idea to compare to later- seeing a difference even though the scale doesn't say anything can…

I don't understand insisting that Santa is real when a child is old enough to question it either... I think I was about 8 or 9 when an older cousin told me santa claus wasn't real. When I asked my mom about it, she told me the truth. Would she have been honest with me at 5 or 6? Perhaps not, but I guess she figured since…

OK, but that's not what you asked. You asked what religious person does santa *represent*. He represents St. Nicholas. Asking who he represents is different from asking in what religion he is a religious figure. ETA: we're on the same page in this discussion, just so you know! :flowerforyou:

[/quote][/quote] You can have your opinion. I have mine. :flowerforyou:[/quote] To me, the notion of Santa Claus as a necessary part of childhood is to place Santa as a religious figure. [/quote] Erm...Santa as a religious figure?? And what religious personage is he supposed to represent in your opinion? [/quote] St.…
