Peas... I always eat peas frozen! They taste so much sweeter

I've struggled with my weight for most of my life & would often get thin by yo yo dieting & then would gain it all back with interest. I was doing it for the wrong reasons, "I want to look good at so&so's wedding," "I want people to find me attractive." This time around is so different. I got a puppy, a German Shepherd, &…

My Fitbit charge hr logs flights of stairs... I've gone up maybe 1 today, & am somehow at 4.

Congrats!!

I don't understand why anyone would call walking a waste of time. It's a waste of time sitting on the couch :D I go for a walk when I wake up, with my dog around the block. walk to get my lunch on nice days. Take my dog for a 2-3 mile walk when I get home from work, & another walk around the block with him before bed. He's…

My SO, though well meaning, will constantly get on my case about how I don't need to lose any weight. I've tried every approach "my doctor would say otherwise," "my bmi says I'm obese!!" Etc. the only thing that works, believe it or not, is time. Just keep doing your thing & all of a sudden you'll notice the positive…

I can tell you that when I've lost a good amount of weight, my chest area suffered, which is the part of my body most "compressed" on a regular basis :D so I'm not sure how, exactly, that could work out

I have been a binge eater for as long as I can remember. my parents recount stories of when I was little & something would hurt my feelings at the dinner table, I would instantly snap & start shoveling my food into my mouth to a point where I wasn't even tasting it. Unfortunately, it wasn't something my parents thought of…

Did you schedule an 8 week checkup with your doctor? I started on citalopram in December, the first few weeks I was full of energy, and then about a month in I experienced a crash & had no motivation... I couldn't even wake up in the morning. I stopped taking it completely. Upon visiting my doctor, she switched me to…

I am standing at my desk as I type! You can purchase an adjustable desk stand for fairly cheap money, though I'm currently using a file crate :D I agree with the balance balls as well, $20 on Amazon; though sometimes they sit a little too low. For 40-60 more maybe they have legitimate chairs that have the balance ball…

This weekend I had some pretty strong cravings due to TOM.... I just ate what I wanted & tracked calories, focused more on maintenance cals than weight loss because I knew this would pass. Generally though i try to reach for healthier alternatives, coconut milk ice cream has been a lifesaver, topped with a dab of pb &…

We had Mother's Day dinner on Saturday.. Hibachi. My bf & I always get the hibachi for 2... A little filet mignon, lobster tail, chicken, shrimp, & scallops... I passed on the rice & noodles & just focused on protein & extra veg, also had about 1/2 my salad & a miso soup. Was under cals in food but went a little over due…

I eat pretty low carb 5 days/week, and that helps keep under 1200 (sometimes I do go over, usually no higher than 1500). I eat A LOT of salmon, eggs, veggies, and this week I started having a protein shake in the morning (I got the recipe base from a website dashing dish I think? It has Designer Whey, cottage cheese, ice,…

No :) but if I swung that way I'm sure absolutely!

the awesome profile pic!

It started out meaningful, but now I just really enjoy them!

Fell off track because... -I've always had some time of eating disorder.. whether it be under-eating or emotional eating. -When I was at my smallest, 118 (I'm 5'4"), I got there in a pretty unhealthy way... by restricting my calories to a point where I was lucky if I reached 500/day. When I got to 118, I started eating…

Congrats!! You look great!

There are MANY hair products that contain protein
-
LOL it's in a lot of hair products
-
Unless you're topically applying protein to your hair, I can't see any way that your diet would affect the hair that's already grown out. Maybe you'd notice a growth difference at your roots, but definitely not a feeling of buildup throughout. When protein is applied directly to your hair topically, you can definitely…

Yes! Not so much with recipes (If I see a cookie or cupcake recipe... I will make it right then & there because I bake often for others and therefore always have the fixings on hand!!!) But I LOOOOVE health & fitness boards.. the motivational quotes really work for me, as does the humor section! If I pin some really funny…

Right now, every day. I've only been at it for two months, but I feel that seeing the fluctuations is a major way to keep my head in the game. I also log every morsel I eat as well, because for me, personally, the two numbers are so important to compare. I have stomach issues so it's been very helpful for me to pinpoint…

For me, it was the most bizarre idea I concocted during my morning commute. I was on the highway when I realized that, not only had I forgotten to pack breakfast and lunch, but I also had forgotten my wallet at home & therefore couldn't get anything anyway. I decided to challenge myself to drink lots of water and then eat…

I'm appreciating this feedback. I should, however, mention that tracking my nutrition is a new step for me. The sodium, fat, protein, etc. in my diary may be off as I've been focusing on caloric intake (though, admittedly, that is still too low as I am used to glutenous, high calorie foods... now I'm eating food that has…
