I used to live out in the middle of nowhere, and it was pitch black. I didn't run. I didn't even go for walks. But that is purely due to the neighbor's German Shepard that would run and chase you down the road!! Ahh the country. I would make sure to wear gear that has a lot of reflectors on it, you need to be seen by…

I really really want some brownies. Thanks.

I disagree. Sort of. Yes, a clean face before a workout is a good idea, but not with anything antibacterial. Save that for after the workout. Washing your face too much will dry it out and can make your skin worse. I would clean your face first with a gentle cleansing cloth, and then a more thorough clean after the…

It may just be the skin working all the crap out of itself. It may also be hormonal. It may also be weather related. It may also be the products you use. There are so many different reasons this might be happening. I would be careful using a lot of antibacterial products on your face as they may be drying your skin out and…

That really sucks. I love wine. I need some right now. Sadly I'm at work. Hope you get it figured out. My thoughts would be about the sulphites. My friend is a DIAGNOSED celiac (the reason I capped the word diagnosed is because a lot of people say they are celiac although they have not actually been tested, and may have in…

Lower calories for those who love to eat a crap ton of PB but can't fit all those cals into a weight loss program. Its also easy to use in smoothies and other recipes. Tastes great if you mix it with some cocoa and tahini. Not sure there are added health benefits, just a reduction in calories.

Not sure what part of Canada you're in, but I buy mine at a place in London called the Meatless Market. It's also sold at some supplement places, so maybe try GNC. Call a few health food stores in your area to see if they carry it. It's becoming available in more and more places from what I can tell. I have a peanut butter…

This is pretty much it. All the best, keep with it and you'll be better in the long run!!

Congrats on deciding to make this lifestyle change for your health!! Frankly, you have to lose the weight very fast in order to have a significant amount of sagging skin. I lost about 50 lbs and still didn't really have any loose or sagging skin. I would only recommend firms support undergarments for aesthetic reasons, as…

Stuff like this messes me up too, and I usually don't add it to my diary. If I know what was in the food and how much I will try, but usually Im too lazy or I forget. Sorry I'm no help!!

I am trying to only eat natural sugars from fruits. No added. It's not good for me, because I crave more of it after having some. I also am trying to eat low carb, so no flour or grains for me. I am NOT saying this is right for anyone, or telling anyone what to do, just saying yes, I am no sugar no flour and I like it that…

You're not alone! I honestly do not have my binge eating under control as much as I would like. I feel like I have a "Binge Brain" and when It's decided on a binge or poor food decision, it's like everything I know goes out the window, and I have no mental control. Technically I guess I do have the control and don't…

Yes, i feel anxious as heck after coming back from eating anything and everything. I ate for keto yesterday and so far today, and my body is confused as all heck!

Yeah! I'm happily married too!! Only since September 14, but so what! I hate that sooo many people are downers about marriage. TO EACH THEIR OWN!!! I have gotten a lot of negative feedback about marriage. Its not fair, because there are still a few of us left who waited more than like 3 months of knowing our partners…

Pastry Chef: ****ING AWESOME. It's the individuals choice to eat what they want. If people like pastry, people should eat pastry. If people don't want to be obese, then it's up to them to do something about it, not a chef following their dreams!!!

I have just gone through the weight loss pre wedding, then some more weight gain post wedding, now some weight loss pre honeymoon (that starts in Jamaica tomorrow!!!!) Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like :D

Ditto

Yeah, I'd love to see how many people are looking for pumpkins in June for food. Or December. Or any other non-October months. These pumpkins are made for Fall decorations, Carving, Smashing, and whatever the people who purchase them want to do with them. I buy canned pumpkin for cooking year round if I want it.

Yup

I too personally feel that Fat is better than Sugar. I don't believe sugar is evil though. I choose to not consume sugar because it's right for ME. It doesn't mean its right or wrong, it's just what I feel is right for my body at this time. I have been trying so hard to get these misconceptions out of my head. I think if…

Same here. OOps LOL

OH MY GOD, I was thinking this the more I read, I just about died. I feel horrible for the OP, because I think she is lacking self love, and needs a BF that isn't a **** head. I also feel sad that this thread is so huge over some f-ing cupcakes. Wow, I gave a serious response, then I read more and more and I just can't…

I think you know the answer. Through them out. Children in Africa don't want cupcakes, they want goats and chickens. I know, my Mom lives in Africa and sees these starving kids. They don't care about the cupcakes, so don't sabotage yourself thinking that they are worth keeping. I had this complex for a long time. I learned…

You helped me out, thanks!! I'm going to start a calcium supplement as well, even though I eat a lot of cheese and have full fat dairy.

My advice is to avoid all chemicals. Just thew word should give you the willies when it comes to ingesting them. Also, I recently had similar symptoms, although I'm eating waaaaaaaaay more than that and still in Keto. I just had to start adding Himalayan pink salt to my food, and my legs cramps went away and I feel much…

This made me laugh so hard

I miss drinking Beer. Lot's of frothy delicious carb laden beer. I have found that President's Choice brand 2.5g of Carb Beer to be satisfying. Not watered down like Michelob's Ultra (or whatever their low carb beer is). I'm not sure if you can buy PC beer anywhere other than Canada though. Canadian's are pretty lucky with…

I saw one quick post about no cheese, and I wanted to die. I LOVE CHEESE!! And Im trying to do Keto, and I have been eating a TON of cheese. For me, I have had no problems thus far. If you're sensitive to dairy, then have less, but I wouldn't NOT eat cheese. Ever. Ever ever ever ever!!!! I was on a "diet" once that limited…

What a stellar thing to say!! Loved it!!
