All of the above and... I do a face mask and take a shower! What if I'm done and still thinking of snacking? Blow dry my hair. Still? Style/straighten my locks. Still? Full body moisturizer application. Still? Paint my nails. Still? Toenails.

Thank you, I think you're right!

Thank you! I am but it's more than that too, you know? Almost two years ago I got to 183 from 240! Since then life has gotten in the way and I'm back up to 204. I feel like right now is the perfect time to reactivate my self care and because I have the timeline of my bridal shower as a halfway point and wedding as a goal…

Thank you! MFP was such a great tool the last time I lost weight I have no doubt it's going to help me along this time too!

You're inspirational! Thanks for sharing your journey with me & keep it up! :flowerforyou:

Thai Cauliflower Shrimp Soup :flowerforyou: I uploaded my recipe to MFP, if you're inclined to make it & would like detailed instructions please do not hesitate to send me a message!

^ This! & keep in mind, you became overweight by putting on lbs - pound after pound after pound. By making some (any) effort, if not a full fledged fitness regimen, you will be better off from it. It will at a minimum halt your weight gain & make transitioning to a healthy, fit lifestyle more attainable. :flowerforyou:

At 5'8" my past happy size was a 6. However, I only did cardio & had a relatively high body fat %. Now I am working towards fitness & have incorporated strength training into my workouts. I may be pleased in a 6 or an 8 or a 4, I won't know for sure until I get there. That being said, I like the number 6 so we'll go with…

Hi friend! I was vegetarian from 2007 - 2012. The past 2 years I have been eating sea creatures (shellfish, fish) as well. I aim to practice pescetarianism in a sustainable fashion. "Free-range" labels are found on my eggs & it isn't out of the ordinary for me to be eating clams I have harvested or fish I have caught…

I love making my own sushi! It helps me keep my calorie/macros in check. I make brown rice, season it with Rice Wine Vinegar & lay it out on a sheet of nori. Stuff with fresh veggies/fish/tofu/tomago, roll it up, & I'm on my way to a delish meal! I serve it with homemade japanese cucumber salad, miso soup, & edamame. For a…

Oh, you've watched it on television? The boob tube? Then you must be well informed & have an accurate understanding of the socio-economic dynamic of many New Yorkers' nutrition. PLEASE open your mind up to the possibility that a person's environment (physical & social) greatly influences their lifestyle, yes - even yours.…

Interesting & valid points!

ACCESS & EDUCATION Access to diverse, fresh foods in low-income inner cities is nearly non-existent. Academics have coined the term 'food-desert' for regions where private residences are isolated in a sea of chinese take-out, dominos, & bodegas. For more information, search the web keyword 'food desert' or 'food justice'.…

Yes! After a year & 3 months (4 of which we were domestic partners) I finally told him. I say 'finally' because he had asked me and when I told him I wasn't going to tell him it became a bit of a game where he'd ask, I'd tease, & so goes the flirtation. In the end I told him because I saw a picture of myself where I didn't…

Oh my gosh!! You're so on point it's incredible, he's a policeman & when he came home from work today he gave me a 2 page love letter...

60 minutes in the gym is a good amount of time & you can get a lot done! If I were you, I would tell my personal trainer my fitness goals such as target areas & intensifying the workout. By increasing your effort in the gym you'll be one step closer to shedding those 30 lbs and may even come to realize that a fit 110 lbs…

Beans & rice are a great source of fiber & protein. Add some spices & fresh herbs & you've really got something! Refined sugar causes spikes in blood sugar followed by crashes. The physiological result is craving MORE - food, sugar, & fat. Because of this, it will be a challenge to succeed on your fitness journey while…
