I'm lactose intolerant. There are lots of lactase supplement options out there, if they work for him :) They were a godsend for me when I was younger. I'm sure you've probably heard of them before though.

Leftover no-crust "crab" quiche!

My family finds that it works better for fries (crispier) than the oven, using a small amount of oil. We've also cooked pork chops, chicken, and fish successfully. I don't mind oven fries, I just find that it's hard to get them crispy and not dried out.

I am also interested in this! Can't have a whey protein powder :)

I was thinking, too, that I've technically lost 2 lb a week, if we go over the whole month. I've read so many contrasting opinions on when and how often to weigh. Would you suggest weight every day? Last time I was using MFP I found that I got a bit obsessive about my weight. It's just very frustrating to have had such a…

I took a break... Now, I remember why! lol

Right??!! But, no, let's keep posting crap from the internet. Ugh.

The time I spent looking for legitimate, peer-reviewed evidence was completely wasted. It sort of feels like speaking to a brick wall. :|

I feel that you haven't read any reliable studies. Above, I posted a book you should think about getting your hands on, which provides an overview of the tests aspartame and other artificial sweeteners have undergone over the years - it concludes that aspartame is not bad for you. It is not a carcinogen.

The book Sweeteners and Sugar Alternatives in Food Technology looks at all the different artificial sweeteners. (I was able to locate the book online through my university's library - so many people won't be able to access it for free.) The book is available as an ebook through Google Books and also is on Amazon. I…

I would try interval training! (Well, this IS what I do lol) Medium-to-fast walking with 30 second "sprints". Your machine probably has this as an option and you can up the speed when you need to :) This gets your heart pumping, but gives you lots of time to rest between the quicker spots. I hate running, so the 30 second…

I had a couple of days like this last week, which really sucked! I figured it was because I wasn't getting enough/the right kind of nutrients. Easter just happened, so I was have chocolate in place of other, healthier snacks, so I figured this was probably the cause. I have also been having nasty allergies caused by…

That's amazing! Great work!

I got a HUUUUGE container of homemade thumbprint cookies for Christmas. I ate 3 and then put them outside in the shed on my balcony. I haven't had any since Christmas time now even though I love them, but I know if they were in a convenient place, they'd definitely be all gone and I would hate myself for my lack of will…

Judging someone based on their size is wrong, obviously. So, yes, even skinny people shouldn't be judged based on their size. However, I think what the OP was getting at is that the woman with the rude comments was CLEARLY judging her based on her being bigger than herself. I find that some people always try to find the…

I have to take public transit every day and, ironically, I was just thinking about this kind of thing today. All of us have to pile onto the bus and, in order to all fit, we basically stand pressed up against each other (I get anxiety, so it's definitely a lot of fun for me haha). Anyway, rather than thinking about rude…

Poutine is something I have to talk myself out of eating quite a bit. It's terribly tragic haha... especially if I go to Quebec! It must be a crime not to eat poutine there. Oh well! Costco was an eye-opener for me too! One of those hotdogs (not toppings) is 550 calories!!! The only part of Costco I used to look forward to…

This is exactly why I didn't join WW and came here instead! Thank the Lord haha

This is such a good idea! I'm lactose intolerant, so when I have pizza, I need to drug up before chowing down. I think it would be much nicer knowing there isn't cheese on it in the first place. Plus, cheese is greasy anyway. Not my favourite food whatsoever.

Cold, white Saskatchewan! :) Feel free to add me, anyone!

My EXACT face! It sounds interesting... lol Edit: Woooops! I was talking about the gif of Kenan lol

Plus, it feels awesome to get hot and sweaty when it's so cold!!

It's been -43 celsius a couple days this week - I still went to the gym. No point in making excuses, I tell myself. As soon as I find one excuse and justify it, I find another and another and, soon, I won't be going at all.

I want to join!! :D

Hi! I'm also looking for friends/a support group! I just joined today and am hoping this site will keep me accountable because I sure can come up with some excuses ;) Looking forward to getting to know some people in the same boat, as well as those who've been successful in their goals! Larissa
