Weighing my food on a food scale has been how I've learned to correctly eyeball portions. When I'm home, I weigh, when I'm out I guestimate. But I'm pro-food scale. It has been the difference in weight loss for me.

I generally do chicken but when I've got the cash I do a "treat" stir fry with filet mignon. I use bok choy, snow peas, carrots, broccoli, and pad thai sauce.

Serious research has indicated that oil pulling is effective because it takes your mouth to a level of cleanliness that we don't necessarily experience from daily brushing. Your mouth is a gateway into your digestive system and blood stream and nasal passages, etc, so the healthier it is, the healthier the areas of the…

It makes me uncomfortable when my female friends say love you to me. I have weird issues with friendships though. I've had two male friends in my life who were best friends-one in high school and one as an adult- that I was comfortable with saying it to. I lived with both of them as roommates for periods of time though and…

No idea about Vons but Target is high priced for groceries and I never shop there as bad as I want too for food!

Thankfully, my family has been very cool about me using a food scale. If you are tracking calories, it absolutely makes 100% perfect sense. To bash on it is just silly and clearly shows a lack of understanding. It's way too easy to under and over estimate what you are eating so why not have a clear picture?

The most beautiful woman I've ever seen in person was a 19 year old bride from India. She was getting married at a venue I did even setup for and she was absolutely stunning. Her dress was phenomenal as well. I used to think the most amazing looking man I'd ever seen was a soccer player from Denmark named Christian I met…

CW: 224 Current Pants Size: 18 which I can pull off easy, but 16 is still too snug Current Shirt Size: 18-22 in dress shirts/blouses. My boobs are really big and I always need a big size for button up. For non-button up I have to take into account that my boobs will raise everything a good three inches and I need a bigger…

Desperately waiting on money to finish my left half sleeve- Japanese theme. Need to add in the dragon and finish background work and do some touch up on existing pieces.

*kitten* dat although I have been doing some burpees at home every day to get better at them long ways from 100 though

I tend to keep it simple for week days or I make myself crazy. I roast fresh veggies on a sheet pan or I use steamer bag frozen veggies. I do a simple meat- baked or sautéed chicken, baked pork tenderloin. I occasionally do rice mixed with veggies. Simple meals, easy to track. For pasta I now do zucchini and yellow squash…

I'm obviously conflicted because this too ^

Brown Sugar Cinnamon ones are great with butter on them :) Love the S'Mores and Berry flavors But I'm a big fan of berry fig newtons too but I see that as a totally different animal

You seem to be very good at typing and exercising at the same time.

Way to go! Can't wait to be in a smaller size of pants!

Da *kitten* is going on

Currently eating a Jimmy John's Unwich with ham, turkey, avocado, and cheese, their thinny chips, and a dill pickle.

Made it last night. Used shredded Colby jack instead of gruyere because gruyere is super hard to find around here. Delicious!!!

Cinderella surgery Just read an article on this It's been around for years and lots of people get it Ridiculous

I'm still currently plus sized so I buy from Lane Bryant. We have an outlet and a regular store and there are always great discounts. I also found some Nike plus sized at a department store. For t-shirts, I have an issue with them being long enough or a material that isn't sucked onto me. I've found that men's Under Armour…

For those of you who do/have worked there- is there any way to bring your own food or is it totally against rules to bring outside food to a food establishment?

For me, working "smarter" instead of "harder" in exercise applied to my decision to begin strength training and mixing up my exercise rather than just go do the elliptical 6x a week. I ride my bike, do cardio, do strength, do combo, work with a personal trainer, do things at home on my own. This was a smarter decision than…

I would agree with seeking professional help. Search out counselors who emphasize food issues. Unfortunately, I don't think this is a mental state you can just overcome on your own. It also sounds like your family is not helping with the situation. You should not have a moral value attached to eating chicken strips at a…

Pay off my debt Buy a house Keep a portion in my checking Give some to my parents and brother Invest the rest in various ways

I've had this thought as well. I'm still very 50/50 on whether it would be a big topic of conversation or not. I think it would really just depend on the guy.

I took a bag of cherries to the counter recently and the cashier asked me if I knew how much they were because people get sticker shock really bad over them
