  • On one day you ate 10 tbsp of peanut butter...

  • Looks delicious! I must admit, I once portioned up like 30 bags of fruit to freeze for lunches, then ate like half of them :/ I don't really trust myself with pre-preparing foods anymore :)
  • Gotta say, I like my men tall, skinny and sarcastic. Dark hair will always be hot, and I like someone who I can have a decent debate with. I don't really care for overly sincere guys (you know the type) who take themselves too seriously - and someone who doesn't mind me laughing at/with them. Anyone who patronizes me can…
  • One word my friend - Craigslist. People on Craigslist will buy ANYTHING, trust me. Chuck some disinfectant in the bag, shake it, then hose them off and send 'em to anyone who'll pay.
  • Usually I stick a couple of Heath and Heather Pomegranate Tea bags into a big bottle of cold water, shake it up and I'm good to go. Former juice addict here, and I'll just say it takes a while to get used to the taste of actual fruit instead of sweeteners, but it's lush. Fruits and veggies are quite high in water, and soup…
  • I switched it out to track fiber instead - sugar intake might have long term affect but I'm definitely more concerned with fiber levels - don't beat yourself up about it. No one ever got fat eating fruit.
  • So long as you are eating at a deficit (calorie intake is lower than calorie burn) you will not gain weight. You might lose slower than you did at the beginning of your diet, but that is to be expected as your weight decreases. People here are going to tell you to up you intake to 1300+ cals, as well as eating back…
  • What other people are saying might be mean but it's true - you gotta suck it up. I once broke my tailbone 20 mins into a 90 minute roller-derby match (it's like rugby on wheels) got up and carried my asthmatic, clumsy *kitten* on. It's all about how determined you are. My 45 year old, overweight mother suffered from…
  • Might sound weird, but if I'm trying to up my calories by the end of the day (i.e if I just haven't been hungry, slept a lot and not eaten, over exercised, etc) I find it much easier to drink my calories. Try Super Strength Milk - a normal glass of milk with a couple teaspoons of dried milk powder. Sounds really strange,…
  • Perhaps you could google 'nighttime cycling groups' in you area? Might seem strange, I know, but people with all different kinds of schedules love to bike on my local cycle path. Another option might be getting him to ask around about bike rides with his colleagues - don't know if they have the same schedule as him, but…
  • My exercises of choice are hiking as often as possible (usually on the weekends so I can make it a day-long affair) or cycling everyday (30-90 mins depending on weather, company, schedule, etc) Something I've noticed is that exercising with other people really helps me get that endorphin 'high'. Maybe it's because of a…
  • Honestly, i think that MFP waaaay overestimates caloric burn when it comes to exercises like Zumba. I rollerskate once a week for 90 mins and it suggests an 800 cal burn? That's crazy. Usually I try to temper their overestimations by only plugging in 2/3 of the amount of time I exercise - e.g. 60 mins rollerskating. I…
