Containers are kind of like measuring cups... you can pack them lightly or to the brim and that will affect how mnay calories you are eating. Also, as previously stated, not all proteins, veggies and fruits have the same caloric content. I started my lifestyle change just eating from a list of foods of healthy foods. 2…

Mine used to be open to friends only but I recently made it public :smile:

niiice :laugh: I have lost an elephant's heart

Love your story, your NSV, and this ridiculous gif :happy:

yum! Now that's my kind of cleanse :love:

bwahahaha

I think he's a very handsome gorilla :tongue:

:sad: cause you're all sensible and sciencey and stuff? I can see where that might be a problem for them :smokin:

My favorite is that they send home reports from elemenetary school with physical fitness assessments based on running a mile, pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups and BMI. The last thing I need is for my 7 and 10 y.o. boys to start reading and trying to interpret their BMI scores. Esp with 2 overweight parents actively trying to…

You really are bored today aren't you? :tongue: Maybe you should email the guest MFP blogger today - sounds like you are soul mates :drinker:

Wow! Just wow! But I do think the grilled cheese sounds yummy - made with actual provolone cheese :laugh:

This - completely. There is no reason to eat such a low calorie diet. Fuel your body, eat everything you like in moderation, log all the foods, increase your activity level, and eat at a healthy deficit and the rest will follow. Almost everyone I know who lost a ton of weight via highly restrictive diets gained it all back…

That way oversimplifies reality as it depends on age, height, activity levels, and lean body mass. There are plenty of women on these forums who lose weight at 2000 calories per day.

This. I love the app and I have learned a ton from the long-time members - but it is disappointing that they would promote stuff like that .

I have zero willpower when it comes to chips and Queso dip. It's really bad cause a quarter appetizer can rack up 500+ cals in one fell swoop :sad:

No escape from reality

Reds are my fav but I bankrupted my family with yellow and green monopolies last time :happy: I had purple too but noone ever landed in those

QFT. Eat less than you burn and you will lose - and you can do that for free :wink:

Strawberries and watermelon with salt, pepper and fresh basil - divine! Cottage cheese with rice and black pepper or soy sauce My youngest son likes peanut butter with ketchup - I can't see the appeal but he swears its yummy

Roflmao - this may win the internetz

I add a stevia and a serving of unsweetened cocoa or a spoonful of cinnamon to my Greek yogurt. Yummy dessert with no fat nd tons of protein :happy:

I like you - esp after the mean people thread du jour - but, you are also missing the point of the original post.... Which is that attractiveness is somewhat irrelevant to weight/BMI/bf%/ etc. - that there are men who find every body shape or type of women attractive. Also, on the women's chart under 60 yrs of age) it…

Thanks - you're awesome too :flowerforyou: I'm still trying to make myself start lifting.... I think I'm scared of screwing up form.... But I'm immensely proud of the fact that I can now do many full, on the toe push-ups. And hold plank for 2 minutes. And someday, I'll do 1 dang pull-up. But I needed this reminder to be…

Ditto :drinker:

The easiest way to save a thread is to post to it - then it will show in 'my topics' when you are on the message boards :smile: Search for in place of a roadmap or sexy pants. Both those threads have awesome info.... I'll see if I can find them. Eta beat to it ^^^ :D

Yep... A few neutral pants or skirts and then mix up shirts, scarves, jewelry, etc. I second roosts or Marshall's, eBay and target

Is it really 'telling' - cause I thought it was 'yelling' :tongue:

Yep. Plan in the chocolate cke and enjoy it! In the meantime, you might want to assess how much of your calories come from protein and how much fiber you are getting daily. Both fiber and protein help you feel full longer :flowerforyou:

I've been here over a year though not sure how long ago I started reading the forums. I have only recently started adding non-IRL friends to my list. But, I have to say that MFP has been the gift that keeps giving. I love and use the app and tools but the forums and the 'usual suspects' have been a huge well-spring of…

Yep. That. Also, how long have you been stalled out and have you recalculated your caloric needs since losing some weight. Finally, if you do not have a food scale, a plateau is a good time to invest in one. It is super easy to eat more than you think if estimating or only using measuring cups/spoons
