Tried to resize and save on photobucket, but it still posted big here. Grrrrr....

Dang it. How do I resize these? I'm off to figure it out, but in the meantime, if anyone can tell me how to resize I would be grateful. :smile:

Hm. That's kind of big. What size is a pic from my phone? Here's the lady I saw in Ross a few weeks ago who was shopping in her socks and underpants...

When veggies and fruits are past their prime, I feed them to my backyard chickens. I also feed them the scraps and trimmings from when I do cook. This time of year they love melon rinds and old cucumbers. Makes my bag of chicken feed last longer. If you don't have chickens... I dunno. Maybe get some chickens?

Purging is not healthy. Please seek help from a professional who specializes in eating disorders.

If AdvoCare worked, we'd all be thin. No product replaces the hard work of exercising and monitoring your food intake. PS I used to work at a health food store, and when customers came in asking for weight loss supplements that worked, my reply was always, "Honey, if there was a pill here that worked, don't you think I…

Horses. The lighter and stronger I am, the better I ride.

Eating so little is setting you up for a lifetime of yo-yo dieting. Your young body needs fuel. Also, you are already thin, so fat will be lost more slowly at your size. Losing 10 pounds in 3 weeks is not healthy, because at that rate, you not only lost fat, but also bone, muscle, and organ tissue. I urge you to slow down…

You've got a while before you need to worry about weight loss. :smile: My advice (even though you didn't ask--haha) is to get used to logging your foods now. Get a food scale and weigh everything. Learn what portion sizes and calorie counts are for all your favorite foods. Don't restrict yet! That baby needs nourishment!…

Powder turns to a gross paste on me, and deodorant gets on my clothes and wears off too fast (I think I sweat a lot--ew!). I wear compression shorts when I run, but somehow, I still rub below the hemline and up in my, um, cracks. For these reasons, I swear by Body Glide. Got it at a running store after it was recommended…

It's called a split-crotch gusset, and it is awesome (for several reasons). Takes a bit of practice, but worth it. GIT IT GURL! :drinker:

My diary would make paleos and vegans pass out. Little Caesar's pizza, Chick-fil-a, Wendys, Taco Bell, potato chips, ice cream, cookies, etc, etc, etc. Sometimes I eat healthy food, and sometimes I eat low-calorie "diet" food. I mix it up, depending on the day and how I feel. Having this much freedom to choose and create…

I think I'm in the minority, but I thought I was pretty dang cute at 250 pounds. Of course, I could be wrong! :bigsmile: I didn't even care about losing weight until I got back into horseback riding and started running. I realized I could do those things better if I got lighter and stronger and fitter.

I have baked potatoes depending on how I've hit my calorie goal for the day (but I don't do low carb or pay much attention to macros). I like eating the bigguns: 200-300 grams. Bake that puppy, throw on some cheese, bacon bits and ranch dressing om nom nom nom! Sometimes I'll throw a veggie on top, but that's mostly just…

If your question is about "spot reducing," then the other posters are correct. The only thing that will reduce fat is overall fat loss, you can't target a specific area without surgery. If your question is really about making your inner thighs stronger, then I suggest horseback riding. Six months of riding and you should…

This. With fresh eggs, the whites stick to the shell when you peel them. Float them in water if you're unsure how fresh they are. Fresh eggs don't float. Older eggs will have one end floating up to the surface. :smile:

Just a cursory look at your diary appears to show some logging inaccuracies. 3 ounces of banana is more like 75 calories. 15 grapes will depend on the size of the grapes. One medium apple -- medium is relative and can be off by 50 calories or more. It doesn't look like you are weighing solid foods on a food scale. If this…

Sometimes running makes me gassy. I have learned the hard way to look behind me before I let one rip. :embarassed:

When I need low impact cardio, I always go for a bike ride or a long swim. Do you have access to a bike or a pool? Another idea is stairs. How are your knees? If they're good, find some stairs, put on some music, and go up and down the stairs for 20-30 minutes. :smile:

What an incredible transformation! Nice work, Sue! :heart:

Can Dances with Whatever be reported for hijacking threads? Every single thread he pops up in, he takes it COMPLETELY off the rails. Newbies come into the forums with questions. They are already confused, and then he spouts his non-English essays. I wonder how many people he's driven away from this site? My god, man,…

Here's my serious advice: 1. As a new person to these forums, the search function is your friend. Before posting, do a search of your topic. You'll be able to see how this community responds to whatever you're wondering about, but without putting yourself out there for public criticism. 2. Drinking nothing but water for a…

Oh, girlie, you have no idea the can of worms you just opened.

The only reason I know my recipe makes 5 dozen is because one time I made them without tasting or eating any. And holy crap what an eye opener! :embarassed:

I work really hard to be polite and helpful on these boards, so it's disheartening to be called a "hater" because I'm looking out for newbie lurkers who may be a bit naive when it comes to diet and exercise. Seriously, I hate a lot of things: reality TV shows, people who drive 10 miles under the speed limit, instant…

I could, and did. My chocolate chip cookie recipe makes 5 dozen. After eating a lot of dough and "sampling" cookies as each dozen baked, I usually ended up with 2-3 dozen cookies. Which I would eat over the course of the next 24 hours. The struggle is real. :bigsmile:

There's so much anti-juicing sentiment because drinking 3 meals a day is usually not sustainable. MFP is all about finding a reasonable plan that you can adhere to for life, and most folks can't adhere to such a strict regimen forever. Lots of inexperienced people "lurk" in the forums, reading posts like this to learn more…
