Basically that. It's a like a "food holiday". Ham, turkey, sweet potato pie, rolls, corn rolls, baked beans, cole slaw, biscuits, stuffing, broccli casserole, pumpkin pie, green beans, cornbread, etc. Eat til your full, watch some football, nap, football, eat, argue with family, eat, nap, gather some leftovers, go home,…

Ok. Cut up your squash into slices (I like smaller pieces, but the overall size is up to you). Dice/mince some onions as well. Put some olive oil in pan, heat it up and throwin the squash and onions. Add some curry or cajun seasoning. Now you can eat this along (once it gets soft) or you can cook some brats and then slice…

No. Your diary isn't open, but I would suggest eating more veggies. Eating proteins and fats would also help satiety.

I've got a long ways to go to get to where you are (and will probably have to reassess a time or two before getting there), but agree with basically what everyone's said. The progress you've made is for yourself and you've come a long way. It'll take people that have known you awhile to get used to the new you; it'll also…

I log daily. Add me if you like!

Hmm...I stopped actually putting TP on the roll years ago...

I've dealt with it off and on and to varying degrees for a year or so. The things that have worked for me is 1) rolling a tennis ball under my foot (back and forth, side to side) to loosen it up. This usually relaxes my feet when they flare up. 2) There are foot exercises you can find online (spreading the toes out for a…

Personally, I like Guinness or Gin and Tonic.

It's about progress, not perfection. Tomorrow's a new day. Figure out what led you to binge and work on avoiding or building resistance to it. I would also suggest planning and making meals in advance. When I have somethings that I enjoy (chicken, beef, whatever) already made that I can just heat up, I find it much easier…

Firstly, great work on the loss! Google stretch marks and tattoos to see how a tattoo over stretch marks looks. I also agree that you should get something that is a passion or defines you; don't get something just to cover up marks now that you make regret later. Some ideas I've had (some in general, some I wouldn't mind…

Great Expectations. I'm on a classics kick.

If you know you're going to eat there, plan a day or few in advance to eat less (maybe afterwards as well). Also, if it's going to be a blowout, maybe exercise some that day to minimize the impact.

I can't think of a place on the website that has percentages. The macro (fat/carb/pro) goals are on your journal/diary and you can changes by going to My Home -> Goals. I forget what the standard percentages MFP uses, but you can research what ratios you should get and enter the gram values in Goals. On the mobile app, you…

I would say so, but everyone's different (what they have to lose, where they're starting from, etc.). Averaged out that's ~1.25lbs a week. Kudos on the loss!

I guess if she's not willing to come by for coffee (by herself or as a group to catch up) maybe have a board game night or something to coax her out into social gathering (that's not meal/restaurant based). As far as you going out to restaurants with her, maybe order some steamed veggies or something lite (and take…

There was some smoked goat Gouda that my uncle got me into once. I craved that with some Triscuits like crazy. The only suggestion I have about cravings like that, is to either prepare for them as part of your daily calories and just enjoy it slowly with a lot of water. Gouda luck!

Congrats!

There's a "Food and Nutrition" and a "Recipes" forum. You can go there and browse the posts or search for something specific using Search. Mostly I would suggest lean meats, veggies, and portion control. Personally, I'm doing pretty well with chicken, broccoli, cauliflower, eggs, etc.

That loss is great. As far as exercises, I'd suggest hiking or swimming. Both burn a lot of calories, not too hard to get into (depending on where you are I suppose), and workout various muscles. Good luck!

Just keep logging (everything and honestly) and hitting your calorie goal. You'll have fluctuations as you lose and like others said it won't be a linear loss even if you do everything the same week after week. The only thing I suggest is to start doing measurements (neck, chest, waist, biceps, thighs, whatever) in…

Some peanut butter and cinnamon!

I eat about 4 oz chicken tenders (estimated from # numbers of tenders in a pack and how much the pack weighs). That with some veggies is a good filling meal and pretty low cal. I was quite surprised when I started getting them. And chicken is so versatile you can mix it up and not get bored quickly.

You're doing well. I'd say plan on having plateau's occasionally. From what I've read, the body needs some time to adjust after you've lost a deal of weight. And with normal flucuations in weight will cause loss to be less than linear. If you're the type to get caught up in numbers, you may want to weight less often. I'd…

I'd stay, work at building/improving a resume, start saving in case a move is needed, and start collecting dirt on the weasel. Either try to get him caught, turn him in, or get promoted so you don't have to worry about him.

I drive manual. 94 Toyota corolla. Learned when I was in undergraduate. Hated...with a passion...having to stop going up a hill. There was one stop light on the edge of our campus that I had to go through to go home. One time I stalled 3 times in a row and scared the crap out of the guy behind me. I let everyone go and…
