I've never really thought about that either. I guess I've never paid attention to the calories in oreos...but that is interesting. Maybe when I'm craving something sweet a few oreos isn't a bad idea if I can fit them into my day.

I have the same problem OP. In fact there have been multiple times in the past where I've been successful with weight loss for long periods of time (3-6 months with 20-30lbs lost) which ends up all coming back and all my work undone because I start to resent the fact that I'm not able to gorge myself on brownies and ice…

I started buying the costco brand individual 6oz cups that come with blueberry, strawberry, and cherry. Not bad at all. Definitely reminds me of the fage cups which I was buying prior.

I love bourbon so I may need to try that one.

Nope I actually looked it up. It's called a Clover Club Cocktail. Basically gin and grenadine and raw egg. I think there was lemon and some sugar of some sort as well. It was like a year or so ago so I can't remember the entire thing. Great drink though.

I have not tried it in a smoothy but I did make a 'vintage cocktail' one time (can't remember the name) which called for a raw egg. It did add a fantastic creaminess to it and an awesome foam on the top.

I basically read this as... "you can't post anything more without people asking for proof...jeeze whatever happened to the honor system people. Don't you know anything you read on the internet HAS to be true?"

I did put it in a blender. And the consistently was similar to a latte I'd say but definitely greasy.

I tried the method once (not with the bulletproof coffee...just good quality coffee beans) and I can't really tell you whether or not it helped my energy or anything else that they claim because it tasted so awful and felt like I was drinking a cup of grease that I ended up dumping it out after one sip.

Nuts man...they are always tricking people. Every year on halloween...they don't even give me a choice. Always trick. Never treat. Devious little creatures.

Lol -- i was thinking the same thing. Truth be told I was kind of on edge for the duration of this thread.

I can get behind this.

I mean...it seems like by her coming to me and saying that she's asking for help...maybe i'm wrong? Either way I'd still feel bad if something did happen to her and I didn't at least try...

Mid 30's

Help losing weight? No. But she does regularly come to me and say things like "I'm always so tired and I never feel good and I don't know why?"

Yep that's entirely possible. I just don't want to see her end up in the hospital or worse.

Never saw that one....off to google! lol thank you

I do think depending on the person scales can be detrimental to weight loss. My wife as an example will literally weigh herself every day. Sometimes more than once. She does not understand (or refuses to believe) that weight fluctuates by day. So when she's down one day and then up again the next she freaks out and…

Actually no. I should try that. You're right there is a fine line which I normally would not cross as I don't like to be preachy with this stuff...but when it's just flat out dangerous I definitely feel like I need to say something. I'll try mentioning MFP to her and see what she thinks. Thanks!

I usually log oil but it's an estimate and it's almost always about half of what I think I actually used. If I'm cooking something with oil I know that a good amount of it is going to get left in the pan and I won't be consuming it.

I'm very tempted to stop at FROST (a donut place near me) and get some donuts...but I've been eating pretty bad lately and probably shouldn't add to it...although I may be in Portland in the next week or two and there's no way I'll pass up Voodoo.

I'll bite (get it?) What's the recipe?

nope. couldn't even name a single one of their songs... Muse

Yep big doors fan too. 30 Seconds To Mars

Yup big Jimi fan. Linkin Park

That was my point. If you're activity level is set correctly then you wouldn't log it.

Oh and.... Bad Religion

I do have queen. Death cab imo has only gotten better. Their newest album is incredible. (Though the one prior was lame....)

oh and.... Death Cab For Cutie

So was I after 365 days of hearing that BS.
