Nope, that's all I wear, but only my husband sees them. :wink: Btw, nice profile pic.

Hooray! I've been looking for new ways to use my chocolate whey protein powder. I want to use it all up so I can switch to vanilla.

Technically, you shouldn't go by percentages. Your body needs a certain amount of fats and proteins to function. There are sites you can find out how much of each you should be eating. From what I remember, you should eat .5-1g of fat per lb of lean body mass per day, and about 1g of protein per lb of lean body mass. You…

Welcome to MFP! I've been here for over a year, and there is a LOT you can learn from this site/app. Here's my own stats: Height: 5'2.5" Starting MFP Weight: 128 (was 132 before joining) Current Weight: 116-ish Starting BFP: 32 Current BFP: 23-ish I'm learning something new every day, but here are a few tips: --Eat as…

That's what I was thinking! Cuz you never know who you might run into. :wink:

I haven't been to the doctor since 2006. :blushing: So I'm pretty lucky I guess. I honestly think that I just naturally have a great immune system. My only advice is eat more veggies. I've been mistaken for a vegetarian before, and it turns out that I always consume 150-300% of my daily vitamin C recommendation. I also…

Your tummy is looking amazing. Thanks for the reminder that the scale is evil!

Awwww! Congrats! :flowerforyou:

Newly married for 7 wonderful months :love:

Measuring Cups Sharp Knives Cutting Boards I feel like measuring and chopping is all I do. :laugh:

I'm almost 5'3" and at my original goal weight of 118. I have up to 7 more lbs to lose to hit my target bf%.

Raw vegetables, or lots of veggies in general, tend to make me gassy. Eating slower is also a good idea.

Cancer free = fantastic news! :bigsmile: Congrats! That is a lot of stuff you're going through, but you've done a great job taking care of yourself despite it all. Such an inspiration.

^^This. We all have issues. If you say you don't, you're either lying to yourself or have led a safe, boring life. There's also a difference between issues/baggage and drama. Stay away from the drama lovers.

I would hear this all the time when people knew that I was losing weight, so I just stopped telling them. I'm trying to get in shape more than lose weight, but people don't understand that. They equate eating healthy as "dieting," not a lifestyle change. Being healthy and trying to lose weight can be two very different…

I've always wondered when someone laps me if they get a sense of pleasure from it. Now I know. :ohwell: Someday that will be me hiding a smirk.

-Bees, wasps, and anything else that sting love to chase me. I think my hair must smell good or something. -Cars seem to slow down behind me and speed up when they pass me, even though I'm safely on a wide sidewalk. I think it's my jiggly butt, because no car approaching me from ahead slows down. -Dogs always bark when I…

For me and hubby, I always thaw out two frozen fish fillets and make some brown rice. Bake the fish and toss whatever veggies the two of you like into the rice. Key is to season the fish well so it doesn't taste bland. It all fits in a bowl and fills us up every time. If you use instant rice, then it only takes 15-20 mins…

This shows been going downhill since Jillian left. Sad truth. :frown: I miss her giving them hell. These contestants need someone to really kick their butt and yell in their face.

:laugh: Thanks for the laugh man!

Oh wow. That's a lot of protein. I hope meat isn't your only source of it though. And as for not liking fishy tastes, try cod or swai. They both had no taste to me whatsoever. Good luck!

I think the frozen bags of wild caught that I buy are about 40 ounces/bag. They're Great Value brand, so maybe they're sold someplace other than Kroger. So at $13, it'd be $4.33/serving for roughly 3 servings. I'm not sure how realistic this is for you, but by golly, that's a lot of meat you eat. :noway:

Some people just don't like red meat. I like steak and bacon fairly well, but that's about it. I always have preferred fish over other meat. It may not be very common, but it's just what my taste buds like. I only eat chicken or turkey when I'm sick of or run out of fish, which is rarely the case.

I get frozen wild salmon. A bag of half a dozen (huge) fillets is $12.99 at Kroger. I split the fillets with my husband, so that's only $1.10/serving.

Definitely just talk to your parents about it. You should be free to go to whichever school you choose for whatever reason, and as for your boyfriend, it is none of their business where he goes. They're not his parents, and they have no say in it. That being said, you are also an adult. If their overprotectiveness gets in…

No kidding. I look forward to eating Chinese at a little family run place down the street because of the hot asian guy there. :blushing: I honestly feel bad for getting excited about going now that I'm married. He's tall, broad shouldered, and I swear he must wear black eyeliner. I forget my order every time he asks.

Hey, I'm going on vacation starting Saturday. :bigsmile: I'll be staying with family, but we will be spending two days at Universal and hopefully a day at Disney as well. *crosses fingers* Tips?

Welcome to the club of eaters! :drinker: Lol. Seriously though, isn't it nice to eat as much as your body feels like it needs and still lose weight?
