QUICHE!!!! :heart: I don't know if that really counts as a breakfast food, but it does for me! Especially since I make mine like giant omlettes anyways. Sooooo goooooooood *drools*

:drinker:

I'm not a History Major, but I am getting my undergraduate degree in Anthropology, Minor in Indigenous Studies. I always had an interest in history, but moreso history of ancient cultures - hence what initially brought me into anthropology. So I guess I am Bigfoot. You found me...practicing my "would you like fries with…

Don't tell him that! He'll never believe you! :laugh: And yep, it apparently does! I've only ever seen it in these small packages though...not that I use it for weight loss, so I don't need any more than that.

She doesn't even look like she's enjoying that very much LOL. If you're guna fake it, at least make it look worth while.

I buy these from GNC - 4 packs for $18, a total of 200 8mg tablets. I don't think you can read it in the picture, but it says right on the package "For the relief of nasal congestion due to colds or hay fever." It's been working for me! My boyfriend takes them too, but needs to take at least 4 a day :ohwell: I guess it may…

I use ephedrine... ...for my seasonal allergies. One or two of the smallest dosages a day, sometimes every other, and have been since before I started losing weight. Wayyyyyyyy cheaper than buying any other seasonal allergy mediation, and it's the same active ingredient. I didn't even know that it's meant to be used for…

Agreed with this guy. Although I don't even use iTunes or Apple products...or drink coffee anymore (sometimes on the rare occasion) so....I would rather have a third option :laugh:

Hey, whatever floats your boat!

Just writing to say that I've never heard of the Bar Method before, but now that I've looked it up, I REALLY want to do it!

^ Yes. And MFP works so you are supposed to eat back your exercise calories, so when you exercise you can eat more. Don't forget that! Or, what I find simpler is to use an online calculater (or use a few and then average it out) to find your TDEE then subtract 20% to get a calorie defecit. I personally like the TDEE method…

That was absolutely beautifully stated OP! :flowerforyou: You're main reason for "eating clean" is the same as mine: I started eliminating as much pre-packaged, processed and overly-refined foods in the spring as a personal choice before I started losing weight, and in a way I think it's helped my weight loss only because…

I haven't noticed anyone else saying this specifically, but could it just be that you don't like RAW fruits? I used to be like that with vegetables - couldn't stand eating any of them raw, but once cooked or added into meals I was fine and loved them. Perhaps it's the same with fruit for you too? For instance, I was never…

:laugh:

^All of this. I've done pretty much the same (cut out most pre-packaged or refined/processed foods, foods with added sugars, general convenience or fast foods - I've also cut out a lot of dairy, but mostly for the reason that if it's in my house the boyfriend will eat it, feel sick and fart up a storm, and I'm not down…

Heh, see through once wet. :wink:

I had a good pounding this morning and I didn't think it was a problem. :ohwell:

I'm with the poster that said doing TDEE - 20% could be too aggresive and that doing it -5 or even -10% would be much better (plus you'll get to eat more :happy:). You're already so close to goal, so you should be moving closer to your maintenance calories so the jump in the end isn't as great.

I know "clean eaters" get a really bad rep on here, but I would suggest the exact same thing. Cutting out almost all pre-packaged, overly-refined/processed and convienience foods and making what I can from scratch really made me feel a big change in my body, and now when I do have a day of fast-food indulgence I feel kinda…

LOL good question! I'm going to say because underwear is meant to be something more intimate and private that not everyone is supposed to see, whereas when a woman wears a bikini she WANTS to be seen. But that doesn't really explain why women feel more naked in undies :ohwell: I personally don't feel a difference and am…

All of this. All the cats I had growing up took some time to adjust to each other, and the eldest never got chummy with the younger ones because of the large age gap. They may never get along and you may just have to deal with it, unfortunately.

You rang?

I know I was planning on making "homemade cleaning products" as a simple gift for people this year. Things like DIY laundry detergent, DIY dishwasher tabs, etc. It's something creative and useful that you can add a personal touch too (hello decoupage and fun glass container crafts!!!), and if you include the recepies then…

Yeah, I may only live in the capital city of Canada (not nearly as cold here as most other places in this vast country!) but I feel your pain. Waking up when the sun hasn't come up, coming home when the sun is almost all the way down, all in a more than occational cold wind...it get's really depressing to never feel…

This is when you can just wreak havoc by bringing another dead thread back to life. I guess that could be amusing.

She turned me into a newt!! :angry:

Yeah, if you want snow, pretty much anywhere in Canada that isn't in Southern Ontario gets heaps of it from like October until April :laugh: I've heard some great things about skiing and lodges in BC, but I've never been to any myself. There's all sorts of beautiful places to go there - the only ones I can think of off the…

Can you lose weight while sedentary? Short answer - yes. Should YOU lose weight? Probably not. I'm with the other posters - you seem to be having some self-esteem issues regarding your body, and losing more weight most likely won't change that. Your current weight and height seem perfect to me! Deal with the personal…

I'm so pathetic...I don't even think I can hold for 20 seconds :sad: My core strength has always been terrible however and resulted in some bad back problems. :frown: For those who clearly rock at planking, do you just gradually build up to it by doing it day after day, or is there more to it than that? (I know, probably a…

I've honestly been using the whole "losing weight and getting fit" thing as an excuse to buy the new wardrobe that I've wanted since I started University 4 years ago. I've been craving to change my style to something less "Hi, I'm an angsty 16 year old who only wears band t-shirts and jeans" to "Hi, I'm a young…
