I LOVE Starbucks - the coffee people will kick me out of this thread :wink: but I always get an iced green tea unsweetened.

I watch TED talks on every subject to learn new things I listen to NPR for fun I've seen the entire Firefly series and Serenity about a dozen times One of my favorite movies is The Princess Bride I am a bookworm I enjoy word games I am quite particular with regards to grammar That said, I prefer the term "geek chic"

You all have accomplished so much! I'm proud of you! I'm proud of myself today because I'm finally making real change in my life, by changing 1 small thing every month. I've given up soda and started tracking my food EVERY day (and lost a few pounds in the process), and each month that passes with me successfully adding a…

amazing! great job... such an inspiration. thanks for posting!

you can use this site to calculate your frame size... it's helpful, since I've always thought I had a large frame but according to this I have a medium frame, so now I may change up my weight goals. http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/fsz good luck!

lovely hair!

wow - amazing job! very inspiring!

I love to fry up pork chops in a pan, then deglaze the pan with a little white wine, add spicy mustard, and a little milk, let it thicken up a little and serve with the spicy mustard sauce over the chops. not sure of the nutrition info since I haven't made them since I started tracking but if you used skim milk it…

true. has psychic powers

.... i hadn't heard about this theory before, but it seems gimmicky at best. I like how liquids are off by themselves.... because you shouldn't put water or other liquids in food, or drink a beverage with your meal? I'm pretty sure that people do that all the time and are perfectly fine. Also - things like sugars and fats…

I have one, and I like it because it has multiple weight settings (lbs/oz, grams, fl oz, etc.). BUT - i find that the food database is weird. things I would think it would have are not found, like some fruits and veggies, so I don't use that feature really at all. I would have purchased a cheaper food scale but I found my…

I agree!!! just not comfy.

I do agree with that statement, tho - I quit my diet soda habit and couldn't be happier :)

A friend got the book for me as a gift... I read it, but agree that the condescending tone of the book and the "don't eat anything but beans and organic herbal tea" philosophy is a little much for me. I agree that veganism can be very healthy but don't think that it's the only healthy way to be. It's just not for me.

after 20lbs I'm going to get a massage :happy:

I actually just made these today! got 18 relatively large cupcakes (overfilled the tins because I wasn't sure if they would rise properly) using regular-sized muffin tins, about 97 calories each. really tasty, very moist. I had a hard time telling when they were done though because they were so moist. Mine came out tasting…

boil until they're almost done, then saute with tomatoes (I use canned) and onions until soft. good over couscous, quinoa, rice, or just as a side dish.

I like to add it to pasta with goat cheese (not the pre-crumbled kind). I just chop it up and add it to the salted pasta water for like the last 3-4 minutes of boiling, and it's perfectly blanched, but you could leave it in longer if you want it to be softer. Drain, and add goat cheese, it will melt and be creamy and…

I add agave nectar to mine, and sometimes granola or fresh fruit. Also, Fage is a GREAT substitute for fat free sour cream. I find it tastes better and is much richer than most fat free sour cream I've tried.

done! thanks for the challenge - I'll be feeling it tomorrow :)

I've never hear the no carbs after 3pm thing, but there are definitely good carbs and bad carbs. bad carbs are white bread, regular pasta, white rice, etc. Good carbs are whole grains (oats, whole wheat, barley, wild rice, etc.) and such. I would consider fruit to fall into the "good carb" category, but I'm sure others…

way to go! you made it through your first class, so you've got guts as far as I'm concerned. I bought a groupon for fitness classes that I don't have to cash in until June, so I have plenty of time to get my courage up. Like someone else said, I'm sure everyone else is so wrapped up in their workout they didn't even notice…

I think I would vom. good luck :)
