Years ago, after being asked yet again if I'd lost weight (when I'd actually gained or maintained), I finally responded, half-jokingly, and not hurt at all - "nope, I'm just fatter in your head than I am in real life." So, I'd say it is pretty common to have a mental image not match reality. :)

My usual breakfast is 32g of FiberOne cereal (I portion it out into snack size bags when I buy the box - so it's just grab and go), a stone fruit (usually plum), and string cheese. If I have them on hand, I'll toss in a hard-cooked egg as well. On days when I'm not in a rush, and feel like it, I'll cook up a couple eggs…

I've had multiple surgeries on one of my feet, thanks to smashing it in a car accident, so you have all the virtual hugs you can stand from me. I've been there. As for ideas/advice: Switch to maintenance and up your calcium and proteins. If you take a multivitamin, make sure it has lysine in it to aid in calcium…

I have a friend with Celiac, and I made her a delicious lemon cake with Betty Crocker's All Purpose Gluten free flour. Just an fyi - cakes are possible. :) (Delicious in that she hadn't had lemon cake since her diagnosis, and it was really, really lemony, and moist, and delicious. And I might have gone a little overboard…

I was 19 when I met my husband, 21 when we married. He is 22 years older than I am. I have found, however, that the ages of people I am attracted to has expanded downward a bit, but not too much (30s at the youngest now) although I've grown older. Guess this means that once husband kicks it, I'll become a cougar, because…

Peanut Butter, Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread. I've been going through major self-control issues with food recently, and these (especially the Reese's) were both hard to turn away. Although I did very well last night, just portioned out some of the Reese's for dessert, and didn't go back for more. But even now,…

I used two diva cups, bought the second because I lost the first, then found the first so alternated between them for years. Then I went all irregular, and had ablative surgery to stop the periods altogether. The cups were both getting stained and gross looking (even after cleaning) so I tossed them. Then the cycle started…

Who was in "Les Miserables" (not the new one) with Liam Neeson

Who was in "But I'm a Cheerleader" with Michelle Williams

Yes. You can put in decimal amounts when you record food. It usually defaults to the specified serving size, but usually if you click the pull down menu, it will let you select 1 ounce or gram (depending on how the serving size was originally entered) at which point you can enter 2.8 or whatever. That being said, of course…

Wild Pacific Salmon are low mercury and you can eat as much as you want. I eat about a can a day (some days I go with something else, but most days it's easiest.) Apparently mercury is higher in Atlantic farmed fish.

It's as good a group as any. I didn't even think about Ruffalo being Hulk when I wrote that, I was thinking of his character in Now You See Me. :) I love his voice. Also, thought of later, Jonathan Pryce. Ever since I heard him on the soundtrack to Miss Saigon - loved that voice too.

Teens should join SparkTeens - then come to MFP once you hit 18. We have no idea how old you really are, but advice given here may not be appropriate for a growing teenager. Good luck.

Alias Season 4 and Heroes Season 1. You're welcome. :) And I can't be the only one in the world who fantasizes about running an out of the way bed and breakfast where famous people come to get away from it all, and of course it's people like Alan Rickman, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Clark Gregg, or Alan Tudyk. And they…

You have to click on a thread to read it. If you haven't seen it yet, why did you click? As for me, I enjoyed it. Could easily identify the red shirts at the trough. :) And how do they keep Judith so clean? :)

I have the One (used to have the Force) and I like it. Took advantage of a 10% discount at Radio Shack (I'm a military dependent - but not sure if that applies to all stores or just local.) I like it, although I do have to take it off when doing a Sworkit full body - jumping has a tendency to drive it a little bonkers, but…

GIMP was my friend. :)

Land O Lakes Salted Sweet Cream Butter.... yummmmmm... I've been using real butter, and I actually bumped my milk and ice cream up from no/low fat to higher amounts, because I wasn't making my fat goal. I also started using butter to cook my eggs. yummy.
-
Should not be a problem, just count the milk in the calories for it. (A tip: Choose a meal slot that is empty. Put in the amount of powder, then the volume of milk. Use the quick tools to remember the meal. Next time, you just have to add the meal, instead of the separate ingredients. Some people also like mixing it with…

You cannot target fat loss, your body will lose it wherever genetics tells it to. That said, strength training and consuming sufficient protein (≈1g/lb of lean body mass is what I've seen recommended.) will help you maintain your muscle mass as you lose (you may still lose some, because the body takes energy where it…

Actually, I've toned network ports before, so tone can be a verb. As for the OP, I don't know about whether people deserve hate for it. it's a misused word that is picking up the meaning from misuse. Drift happens. When I see it, I figure they mean they want muscle definition that is visible when flexing, and hidden when…

40%Carb, 30% each fat & Protein - Mainly because I wanted 30% fat, and I wanted at least 100g of protein and 30% got me there (usually after I exercise and it increases the grams). Carbs got the rest. :) Hoping to maintain as much muscle mass as possible, and if my scale is anywhere near accurate, I'm around 110ish lbs of…

Both are great. I tried the C25K, but running just isn't my thing. Give me weights, and the elliptical. :) But that's ok, just leaves the roads, sidewalks, and treadmills for those that like them. :)

As part of a Sworkit full body workout today, I did 30 seconds of regular jumping jacks. I don't remember the last time I did an unmodified jumping jack (usually I'd do the step thing.) Woot.

If you know how much you used to weigh, go to My Home - Check in - Edit Previous Measurements Select weight (if it isn't already selected) and once it reloads the page, enter the date and weight, and Add New Entry. If you have multiple weights to record, just keep adding them until you're done (I actually started on…

Near as I can tell - judging by the visible spices - left is Original, Right is Extra Crispy, both are making me hungry - time for dinner.

I took my blood pressure last night (I'm on meds that could raise it - normally it is fine, and thankfully the meds have not raised it - still normal) and I was able to use the regular size cuff!
