Worm5996 - Are your eggs grey after cooking or after freezing? If they're grey from cooking, you need better pans.

We also soak steel cut oatmeal in a rice cooker overnight and turn it on in the morning. Ready in 5 minutes - top with fruit and honey. Eat it while you're getting ready!

My husband loves Vega 1. I use Almond Milk and half of a frozen banana in a Ninja blender. You can purchase Vega 1 on Amazon. I peel hard boiled eggs and separate by twos in Ziplocs with a little sea salt and pepper for an on-the-go breakfast with fruit and a bar.

Thank you, greengoddess0! I "had heard" (I must have great big ears for all this stuff lol) that drinking water prior to eating is actually hard on your stomach. "Watch how animals eat - only food first, then water." It has been suggested that digestive enzymes are diluted and stifled by water consumption. Eating food…

Awesomely simplified model. Basic and straight forward thanks!

I'm half Korean so, believe me, cutting out white rice?! That's dedication on a-whole-new level! JK. I'm understanding the macros and micros, thanks so much! I'm assuming that balancing them just has to do with sufficient nutrition with the added benefit of gauging caloric intake (and the coveted deficit).

iTodd1049 - This is true. Invasive marketing tactics.

And now...IF you haven't guessed it yet, I really show you my newbie status by asking, "What are these macros and micros I should balance?" I'm really 'getting it'. This is great help and I appreciate it. Simple.

I burn 1600 calories sitting on my butt?! I can do that all day! JK!

This is all great - I am realizing I have a lot of personal myth busting in my immediate future lol! I have actually believed that I should never eat a large meal before bed since sleeping isn't burning calories that meal is turning into fat 'overnight'! Aaron_K123 - "eating as fast as possible"! Effectively funny myth…

To clarify, the advice I listed is not verbatim and some of it was gathered from other areas - a full glass before meals as well as not eating after 7 was, however. Not eating "white junk" including diary are things I've read and heard from many when it comes to clean eating for optimum and organic health.

Thanks for clarification thus far. Not eating after 7 is somehow controversial and I'm gathering that is simply due to the fact that it is not a realistic long term goal for sustainability. Here is what Mr. Harper said regarding the thought process on that: "Go to Bed Hungry If you skip that midnight snack, your body will…

I'm not an expert, however, eating big leafy salads such as the Organic Spring Mix from your local grocer is phenomenal. All of your vitamins and nutrients are there. Eat it without dressing or squeeze a lemon or lime over it. Quick and simple. The citrus helps boost metabolism and aides in digestion...the salad will also…

Mebepiglet123 - I've always thought it was good to work off as many calories as possible. Does the body go into starvation ('fat storing') mode if I don't eat back my calories? Feel free to share info so I don't sabotage myself lol! Thanks :)

Open diary, feel free to add :) Looking for new food ideas lol!

The open diary is what helps me the most - finding variety and inspiration from other meal plans is the best part of MFP! Add me if your diary is open!

Hi I'm Joycleyn - log in daily and "like". I comment to encourage and LOVE to read diaries to give me an idea of what others eat for personal inspiration. I weigh myself everyday so I can look back and see what each day's food and exercise has produced the following day. I'm looking to lose 34 pounds in 2 months for my…

Love looking at others' diaries to give me ideas on what works - feel free to add me :)

Sorry you're going through this and especially since you have a little one and health concerns of your own. Obviously, get copies of your cell phone bill and highlight each time she tries to contact you. Print off all text messages she sends so you have a record that those 20 different phone numbers are, in fact, all from…
