I, too, have family that bonds over good food and alcohol (and lots of it!). I just really try to work my *kitten* off every other day of the week, and then I don't feel so bad about splurging a little on the weekends. I agree with what someone else said: burger without bun, salad instead of fries, etc. A lot of it is just…

http://ohsheglows.com/2013/08/09/eat-your-greens-chickpea-medley/ This recipe is delicious. I just eat it straight out of the bowl as is, and I omit the cucumbers.

I agree. He is being completely disrespectful to you. But I know you guys are young you're going to keep defending him. Honestly though, if he apologized after the first time you told him it hurt you, why does he continue to do it? Just FYI: My husband would NEVER say that to me. Your boyfriend's behavior is not normal.

No answers here, but I'm in the same boat.

Make and freeze breakfast burritos. You'll definitely up your calories with those :)

I can tell you from my experience, eating healthy is not cheaper. I make pretty much EVERYTHING from scratch. I can and freeze foods, too. But, like I stated in an earlier response, I buy organic and nothing from factory farms (that to me, is eating healthy). It's very expensive. Sometimes, I honestly wish I didn't care…

Exactly this!

$30? Including meat? See, I don't believe in buying factory farmed meat, so I can easily spend $30 on meat for just one meal. Our milk is from a small local dairy, and I easily spend at least $20 a week on that. Farm fresh, local, pastured eggs? 3 dozen/week for $12. Then onto fruits and veggies: at least $50-60/week. So…

Exactly!

Yep.

There is no such thing as "clean" food? Eating clean just means eating foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. It excludes fast foods, processed foods, etc. That's all. It really is a term.

This.

It's your shoes. When I first started running, I was wearing a $20 pair of shoes I bought from Target. They KILLED my feet! They were numb, sharp stabbing pain, and I could barely walk. For Christmas my husband bought me a pair of Nikes to run in. They still killed my feet, so I returned them. Then I went to Runner's Soul.…

6' here. Feel free to add me :)

I love this, too.

Love this.

BAD. *kitten*. Thanks so much for sharing that.

Why should people even have to Google it? Calm down. If someone asks a question that's already been asked a gazillion times, who cares? Do you have to answer it? No. Do you even have to open it? No. Do you live on MFP or something? Because I honestly can't understand why anyone would be uptight about something like this.…

LOLOL! Holy hell in a handbasket, simmer down people! OP was just making a light-hearted post asking if anyone can relate; not asking for permission. OP, I definitely take a break from it on the weekends, and other special occasions. I may still exercise, but not always. Enjoy your day off :)

I bought a few bras from Victoria's Secret (I have never done that, and spent over $100), back in December. Already too saggy on me. I don't care if my boobs shrink, after breastfeeding four kids, I've given up on my boobs. I just hate that I spent that much money on bras that don't fit me anymore.

A grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread, and stuffed with carmelized onions- Sal's diner in Soldnotna, AK A gyro from Pizza Paradisio's in Kenai, AK.

This.

Same!

I'm a woman who feels more comfortable with my hair pulled back, some jeans, and a t-shirt. If my husband ever threw my hairbands away, and told me that I needed to make myself more presentable, he would not be my husband. Shame on you. She's not your trophy. Sorry, but after reading that part, I couldn't even make it to…

I'm a sahm to 4 kids under age six. I go to the gym at 5 am before my husband gets up to get ready for work. Before that, I was working out in the evenings, but I like mornings better. It was hard at first, but this is really important to me, so I make it work.

I was having the same problem. MFP had me at 1400 calories, plus I was exercising almost daily, but still gaining weight. Once I upped my calories to 1800 (I'll eat between 1800-2000), I started losing weight! So, now that you're exercising, I would change your settings so that you're eating more calories. I know it sounds…

I haven't done it consistently, but I know people who swear by body-brushing. I really should stick with it, because regardless of whether it gets rid of cellulite, it always makes my skin feel amazing.

I haven't found a way to make it work. I LOVE beer and wine. I love to have a glass at the end of the day. However, everytime I do, I gain weight.

I agree with the last part. It's the internet. Who cares? Don't get butt-hurt over comments made by people who don't even know you. They're the ones who look like jerks. But when you make a post like this, then you look like a whiner. I don't mean any of this in a rude way, just being straight-forward.

I'm 6 ft and wanting to lose 40-50 lbs. Add me :)
