Oh now these just sound YUM!! :D

This is my absolute favourite tofu cooking method (it's very similar to what one of the posters described above): Dry-frying: http://hubpages.com/hub/How_to_Cook_Tofu_Like_the_Pros You get a really good chewy texture (I prefer chewy to mushy, personally), and it takes on the flavour of the marinade really well. So good.

C25K is the "Couch to 5k" program... basically designed to get people from a sedentary lifestyle to running 5km. So it starts you off slow, with spurts of jogging and walking, and works you up to running all the way, so you don't get burnt out too easily. I'm not exactly sedentary but I'm going to try to follow the program…

Thanks so much everyone!! I am excited to see where this will take me! :) Aw, yeah, I know... I knew that "intellectually" but in my gut I was still afraid to use it. I make up some crazy excuses sometimes! No more excuses though... :D
-
YAY!!! You are looking amazing! :D And I'm so glad you are feeling amazing, too. You're rocking this. :)

I can imagine that would be really unfortunate, haha. But if she's going that often, it could be a medical thing - maybe IBS or something?

Unfortunately, I think that's for a fluid ounce. I suspect the OP is looking for an ounce by weight. But, it's good to know if you need fluid ounces, haha. The ounce is silly, in my opinion. Grams and millilitres for all! ;) To the OP: I think it varies depending on the type of cheese, too: is it a dense cheese, or a…

I love that it's a great way to blow off some steam/frustration/stress. I was feeling super wound up and stressed out, not to mention frustrated, last night. So I hopped down to the cardio room and powered away on the elliptical for a half hour. I felt SO MUCH better when I was done, it's hard to even describe. I also love…

I am definitely going to get measured when I am closer to my goal weight! Where did you get it done? (Also, G!?!?! Must've been great to get the proper support for those!!)

That happened to me with the first BC pill they put me on (Alesse). Sometimes it just takes a few tries to get the proper hormone dosage for your body. I had early bleeding (breakthrough bleeding, or "spotting") as well, and freaked out at the time too. Went to my doctor the next day and she changed my prescription and…

Ok, I just made these (added a bit of cinnamon, used extremely finely ground coffee beans instead of instant coffee, and melted some of the chocolate chips to add in to the batter then mixed the rest in whole). First off: the batter itself was DELICIOUS. Yes, I am one to lick the bowl. Next: they look just like regular…

Wow - I'm sort of floored right now, as I had that exact same fear pop into my head recently. I am starting to get down to sizes I have never worn before... and while it's absolutely thrilling, it is also a bit terrifying as well. I can feel my shoulder bones. My body is changing. It's strange, and unfamiliar... and scary!…

Oh man. Low-cal brownies?!?! I am SO in. Might make these today!!!
-
The difference is staggering - I honestly have no idea how anyone could NOT see it, unless they were being purposefully cruel or had left their glasses at home (and even then!). You look wonderful!!! Congrats to both you and your husband! Best of luck on the rest of the journey. :)

No homo? WTF, seriously? There's not really any need for homophobic disclaimers. (On that note, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBkYdUgl3-M) To the OP: You look absolutely amazing. Just gorgeous legs, and I'm going to echo the bum compliments - it doesn't look saggy to me at all! Well done!!

I eat Stonemill Sprouted 3 Grain & Oatmeal bread: 130 cals per 2 slices, also 7g protein and 5g fibre. I think it is a Toronto/Ontario bread though.

Here is the study about the school children drinking milk: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15939853 And here is what they reported in their conclusions, in full: Children who drank the most milk gained more weight, but the added calories appeared responsible. Contrary to our hypotheses, dietary calcium and skim and 1%…

Soup? About as easy to eat as a sandwich is (or easier!).
-
You could have a soup for dinner or lunch - they can be very low-calorie and filling. I made a soup the other day that is only 100 calories per cup, and was really thick and hearty (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/242030-curried-cauliflower-broccoli-soup-100-cals if you wanted to check it out). But you could just…

Here's how they make rice cakes: http://www.madehow.com/Volume-4/Rice-Cake.html So if they don't spray it at the end with a flavour (as the OP has said the only ingredient her rice cakes have is rice, no seasoning)... what, exactly, are the "so many additional items added"? I mean, I get that a machine (ZOMG!!!!) was used…
-
Aw, this sounds like something I would totally do! I'm such a forgetful person. :( I'm sorry they're not being understanding, and they probably have no idea how awful you feel about this. If you want something to help calm down that isn't food, maybe you could try making yourself a nice warm cup of tea. That helps me…

I am always about 2-3 pounds heavier in the evening than I am when I wake up in the morning. It's fairly consistent for me. It makes sense because throughout the day you consume food and water - that adds up! In the morning your body has processed a fair bit of that (and you pee out a lot of it in the morning). So, if you…

Get extra firm stuff and dry-fry it (http://hubpages.com/hub/How_to_Cook_Tofu_Like_the_Pros) then marinate it... yum!

I just made a soup that had ~100 cals/cup... but it takes some time. I'll write up the recipe and post a thread, how's that? :)

At Sushi on Bloor (relatively average-to-inexpensive place), you can get 2 pieces of salmon or tuna nigiri for $3 or a hand roll for $2.50. A california roll is $5, a rainbow roll is $8.50, an avo + kappa maki is $4. Not sure where you are from, but that's pretty reasonable to me, if you keep in mind Toronto's sorta…

If you like sushi, I can tell you that when you're in Toronto, you're playing a venue that is right by lots of cheap and good college sushi joints. :) You can eat pretty healthily with the right sushi choices. Other tips... try to check out on Google Maps before hand if there are any grocery stores near your venue/hotel.…

Quite frankly, I am getting a bit annoyed with all the people saying that weighing daily is "fanatical" and "obsessive." I get that it's not for everyone, really, I do! I get that some people might have obsessive personalities and that weighing daily is probably a poor choice for them, since it will stress them out unduly.…

Ooooh me too. Except I can't even imagine this, not really. I have no recollection, zero, of my thighs not rubbing together. I remember refusing to wear corduroys when I was eight or nine because the thighs rubbed and it made a sound. If it ever happens to me, it will be a completely new experience! I'll wear skirts and…

If you go substantially under your calories often and are worried about it, maybe grab a glass of milk or something like that. Otherwise, if you're not hungry, I wouldn't worry too much!
