dry cereal with flax oil and almond milk, it's not just for breakfast!

Stephen Hunt's series that begins with The Court of the Air. Steam-punk adventure fiction.

I do best when I pay attention to what I'm eating, which means I don't eat when I'm doing other things. Palmer's study break idea is a good one.

I weigh daily, but only record losses, unless I go a full week without a new low, then I'll just record where I am.

I try to be as honest as possible without using a food scale or HRM. I would rather just manually adjust my calorie goal than get too obsessed with precision.

If you feel like going some place more casual, Panera has a wide range of healthy options. I would suggest researching your local restaurants online. Most chains have nutritional information available.

chips and salsa

Any kind of bean dish. I suggest keeping some reduced-sodium canned beans on hand for quick meals.

Haha, that wouldn't help me, my Pinterest is filled with recipes :)

Just remember a 2 Tbsp serving is about the size of a ping-pong ball.

bump, so I'll remember to do this later

I definitely support physician-assisted suicide. I don't think there should be limits; if someone wants to die, it should be their right.

Thanks for this. I know I can get off-balance when I start comparing myself to others. The important thing is to gradually improve my own diet and exercise and not worry about other people. I know I am already stronger and more flexible than even just two weeks ago.

This is what I usually do as well. Or top them with beans and salsa.

My go-to treat is a 70 cal mini peanut butter fudge no bake cookie, I have one or two.

Go to bed.

Last time I caught the early show during lunchtime, I had a couple of soft pretzels. Next time I'll sneak in some trail mix.

Taco Bell's Fresco Bean Burrito has 350 cal and 9g of fiber. Even the regular bean burrito only has 20 more calories. How many I order depends on how many calories I have to spend :)

dried apricots wasabi peas

I don't track it, I've switched to tracking calcium, iron, fiber, vit A, and vit C.

I'll admit, my first thought would be that he's shallow. I know that's not necessarily true, but it would be my first thought. Even if I was single again, I wouldn't want to date someone who spends all his time at the gym.

Right? And never *ever* consume the chemical ascorbic acid, I'm sure it must be bad for you if you don't know anything about chemistry or biology!

Am disappoint. Was hoping by now to see an argument about which brand was best for the dog food diet :)

Nothing wrong with counting liquids that are caffeine & alcohol-free towards the daily 64-oz, but I just count plain water.

The easiest thing to do would be to add up the calories from all the fruits and veggies you typically consume in a day, and then subtract those from your current calorie goal for your new target.

1. I *love* horchata. 2. Tracked down a Gallo Pinto recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/gallo-pinto-costa-rican-rice-and-beans-78747

This is tough, not only saying just five, but for the fact that I rarely re-read books. Anne Fadiman's Ex Libris. Great collection of essays about books and reading. Highly recommended! Hmm, maybe list a few authors I really enjoy? China Mieville C J Cherryh Guy Gavriel Kay Sean Russell Terry Pratchett
