  • I got my BA in art history last year and I'll have my MA in the same next year. I want to work in arts education at a museum/gallery/etc.
  • Rimmel London Glam'Eyes is the bomb mascara.
  • riversiiiiide! ..i'm not really that proud of it though.
  • I've done things like order a 2 for $20 meal at Applebee's, pick that up to go, stop by McDonald's for a couple double cheeseburgers and a large fry, and hit the gas station for an ice cream sandwich and/or some Reese's peanut butter cups. By myself. In an hour or so. Followed by a trip to the fridge. I'm talking probably…
  • It's either really small - 2 eggs and 2 links of sausage for about 300cals, or giant - almost 600 in my brotein shake. Depends on the day and what time i start eating!
  • Um, insulin resistance isn't going to be helped by a diet that consists of SIXTY percent carbs. You might want to get a second opinion about that. Also, take a major chill pill. Finally, you're not making much sense. Too many contradictory statements and restrictions are going to make you miserable. Have a nice day!
  • You're correct, you want to net your goal! Ideally, you shouldn't net less than 1,200 calories a day. Basically, the idea is to eat back (most of) the calories you burn off when you exercise. MFP has already figured the reduction in calories you need to lose weight into your 1,640 goal. If you eat that 1,640 but burn too…
  • The size of your meals, the time you eat them, or the number of hours between meals don't matter. You need to find out the number of calories you should be eating, and eat them. Doesn't matter if it's 2 meals or 6. You can have as many meals or snacks as you want, at any time of day, as long as you're eating the right…
  • Nuts and jerky are the first 2 things that pop into my head. You can make a large variety of dishes with lentils and/or quinoa and neither of those require refrigeration if you can keep them marginally cool in a lunch bag. They're relatively low carb/high protein, and high fiber. Salads are also a good choice, you can get…
  • The Puffy Chair, Mars, and Safety Not Guaranteed. I'm kiiind of a Mark Duplass fan.
  • if you're only eating 1200 calories and burning 4-600, you're leaving yourself 6-800 to live on. you're not eating enough. either eat more to compensate for the exercise, or back off. you're burning yourself out and with a thyroid problem, you can't push too hard. it's fine to be active, but take breaks. or if you feel you…
  • just keep drinking water.
  • Trust me, 45 pounds is totally ok when it's just the bar balanced on your back :) It's a very different kind of lifting sensation than picking up something off the floor with one hand. If the 45 is a bit much when you do try it, start off with 5 sets of 3 instead of 5 sets of 5 and work until you're comfortable. then try…
  • so if you're on a budget with a single income, why are you trying to spend more money on supplements? make a grocery list, shop for things that are on sale or in bulk, buy things you can freeze, use coupons. a $30 bottle of pills could easily buy you 15 pounds of chicken when it's on sale. that's SIXTY servings of chicken.…
  • PM me your email address and I can send you CC and some other stuff!
  • Stronglifts 5x5 is great, I second that suggestion! You can also download Starting Strength for free online. That's pretty much the bible of weight lifting. It gets pretty in depth, but it's not hard to read and will explain basically anything you could want to know. You might also want to look into a book called Convict…
  • the message you see when you close out your diary says "if every day was like TODAY.. you would weight x pounds in 5 weeks." meaning, if you overate every day for the next 5 weeks by eating the exact same foods as today's diary entry, that would turn into 7 pounds lost instead of 10. it's an estimate, it's almost never…
  • you're not eating enough. chances are you asked mfp to give you a calorie goal that would have you lose 2 pounds/week, correct? make sure you eat at least 1200 calories, and eat back calories you burn from exercise. you'll start to see results with time. good job on the water intake, and your food choices look good! you…
  • this this this this. please don't eat breakfast just because you think you have to!
  • why are you using myfitnesspal if you're not tracking your calories with it? that's what the site is designed to do. just because the herbalife shakes say they "replace one meal," that doesn't mean you're getting the correct amount of calories for your personal needs. the point of most shake/bar/etc. systems is to drop…
  • How many calories are you eating?
  • a 30 minute workout is 5% of your day. if you don't want to dedicate the time, then don't. but seriously, suck it up. you can spend the same amount of time watching tv or sitting on facebook, etc. without even thinking about it.
  • just go enjoy warped! take a day off and enjoy yourself, stressing out over it isn't going to be productive. all the activity of being at the venues might even end up giving you a bit of a weight loss surprise. have fun!
  • the whole "breakfast is the most important meal of the day - it starts the metabolism fire burning!!!!" thing is a total myth. eat whenever you want. i personally work out before breakfast because i feel better when i do it and it fits into my schedule better, but i could eat before and it wouldn't change anything. as far…
  • my shake is listed in my diary under breakfast, broken down by ingredients. i don't sweeten my shakes, because i use chocolate flavored protein powder and peanut butter. 1c 1% milk (1% is my preference, i think fat free would probably be fine!) 2 tbsp peanut butter 1 scoop chocolate protein powder i blend all of that, and…
  • so you need bread to entertain you? get creative dude.. there are seriously jillions of combinations that you can make. learn to love seasonings. chicken can be italian, mexican, greek, indian, whatever. fish, same way. steak and pork can be prepared and seasoned in a ton of ways too. get creative with chia, flax, and…
  • check out a whey protein powder, you'll get more bang for your buck. i can't tell if you're vegan or not because the tvp and hemp protein conflict with the milk - assuming that's nonfat dairy milk. i get my protein powder from walmart, it's $0.60/serving for 30g protein, and then between the milk, peanut butter, and chia…
  • my boyfriend's birthday is tomorrow.. perfect last minute gift!
  • my protein shakes are 40+g protein per shake. this sounds good, but 20g isn't really "high." a serving of chicken has more protein than that.
  • what is?
