  • Honestly, I don't experience any pain with cheaper sports bras and am not really in an income bracket to have a wardrobe of bodyarmor. I am a B/C cup, however. My boobs are going to sag someday no matter what I do with them, as will pretty much everyone's. There is no magic formula to prevent that. I feel comfortable in…

  • I was raised in a "health-conscious" (California-granola-type) family, and used to pour Extra Virgin Olive Oil on EVERYTHING. I can't believe how much I've cut back now. I recommend a spray oil like PAM for foods like eggs, or a spray bottle if you're really into the health benefits of Olive Oil. These days, I just use it…

  • Ugh, same happened to me... Yazmin/Ocella is ridiculously expensive where I live so I switched to a generic when I got here... I've been off it two weeks and am SHEDDING weight! Weight which I gained only since going on it... hmm. Birth Control is important to prioritize, so if you're not interested in condoms, I'd suggest…

  • First of all, sorry you can't get better food right now. That's a real bummer. But if you want to lose weight, all you have to do is eat at a calorie deficit. Set a goal for your calories. Cereal for Breakfast and sandwiches for other meals can totally work for that, especially if you're exercising. When you can add better…
    in I think I have to quit my dieting Comment by knityoupants June 2013
  • I'm in a similar boat. I just had a weekend getaway with friends, and counted calories the whole time. I had about six dark beers one night, and other sugary drinks throughout, and all the food that was being served was typical bar food. I just ate enough to keep hunger at bay, and didn't go obscenely over calories. What…

  • Aunt Jemima type pancake syrup >.< it's the only HFCS product I LOVE! Added unhealthy bonus: I don't like real maple syrup at all.
    in What 'plastic food' do you love? Comment by knityoupants June 2013
  • Corn, cilantro, onion, and tomato are essential- then anything else you want! Serve with black beans. I'm currently living in S. America, where it's from and common. If they dress it up at all, this is pretty much what I see... corn, corn, and more corn!

  • Easy: lean meats. Chicken and turkey need to be fried or covered in gravy or SOMETHING to be palatable. I'm picky about seafood too. I only like eating my protein red meat or vegetarian.... all or nothing!

  • I had the exact thing happen to me this weekend! Two weeks quite clean- not perfect, but only four or five slightly unclean incidents- and I spent the weekend at a work party out of town. It was super fun, but I've consumed pretty much nothing but alcohol, water, pizza, and fried food in the last thirty hours. I still only…

  • Hey all, I just joined MFP, so I'm pretty new at this. I've been living in Chile for 6 months, and I'm loving it! But I put on over 15 pounds just since I've been here. I'm from California, and never noticed that my community was largely vegetarian, vegan, raw, organic, gluten-free, etc., and in a weird way, growing up…
