It is! But it's horrible! I swore I wouldn't, as I've already have to rid myself of so many good clothes that were too big, and I already went out and bought the 'sensible things' that should fit me through the next part of my weight loss - and now I fall for this brand, which would be out of my price range even if I did…

Thanks for sharing! I look about the same, my stomach is a little different, the flabbyness and stretchmarks are mostly above my belly button, but otherwise, this might as well be my body, lol :b I'm 22 and 5'8", so you've got 2" and 15lbs on me, but otherwise similar, it seems!

I spend about $50-75 a week. I feel like it's a bit unfair to compare though, because I'm usually at my parents house about every other weekend, and I even get to take some left overs home from there. Plus, I do a lot of volenteer work with students, and I'm the only volenteer in our area who is young and living on my own,…

I sure would hve been surprised if they were protein or fat.

Are you responding to something else?

Here you go: http://nutritiondata.self.com/foods-000000000000015008123-w.html That should be a direct link to a search, ranking lowest fat, lowest sugar and lowest sodium highest. If not, input it yourself here: http://nutritiondata.self.com/tools/nutrient-search As you can see, it's mainly drinks that come up first,…

Thanks for the answers :) I think you're right that it's just adjusting to how things are now. Maybe I'll get a whole new cycle system, like, less days in between, the period will be shorter, or something. Periods are usually very painful for me, so I hope my 'new' periods will not be so!

I'm overweight, down from being class II obese. I've told him how much weight I've lost and in what time span, as well as the exercize level, which he said was a big enough change to cause some skipped periods, but he wasn't worried at all about it, and didn't think the missed periods are any reason to worry either, it's…

I'm glad to hear it! It seemed a bit 'gross' if I was carrying around stuff for months that I should have flushed out, lol :b So, what about how you burn more at certain stages in your cycle? Where in my cycle am I now? Am I just constantly in the 'right after period'-phase?

I am aiming to lose 50% of my start weight :) I'm still overweight, though pretty close to normal BMI now.

For the first 5months, I just cut down drinking (since I had moved away from my favorite bar and drinking friends), and discovered I had lost 30lbs doing that... Then from January of, I started counting calories, 1400 per day, super accurate. I focus on a lot of protein, and as a result, it's kind of low carb. I lifted…

Thank you :) The bra is Ewa Michalak S Szykuś, and then I just have a little top over it :)

Love squash, cooked in any way. I eat them like loaded baked potatos, or use a spiralizer and use them as 'pasty' and top them with any sort of pasta sauce (I like creamy lemon salmon, or just standard tomato/meat). Or I'll make a stir-fry (if you have a good pan, you don't actually need much/any oil). Or cut them up, and…

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe she meant 1% - so that would be a 3lbs wide window for 150lbs

I'm far from my goal still (my ticker is set for when I hit 33% of body weight lost, I'm aiming to lose 50%), but when I reach it, I plan to use weightgrapher.com to watch my maintance. I use it now to track my progress too, and it calculates 'trending weight' based on x amount of days (I've set mine to 7, it's default is…

I like them for the texture they can give to things. I made some snack balls with them, combining spices and herbs, spinach and mushroom, and some chia, scooping them out with an icecream scoop, and baking them slightly. Especially for vegetarian meals they are excellent. They can replace the functionn of eggs in a lot of…

My waist. It's ridiculous, it went from probably 37"-38" (I didn't start measuring it before I had already noticed a significant change, so I'm gussing here, since it was 35-36" when I noticed) to 31" before I noticed ANY change anywhere else. At one point, my thigh and my waist measured the same!! You try finding jeans…

I don't get the fuss either. It's pretty much the same calorie count as rice, and only slightly more protein - and no major difference in vitamins and minerals. I find it a lot less convinient, as it's so expensive (around here at least), takes longer to cook imo, doesn't suck up flavour as well as rice, so it would have…

Yes. I didn't start actively trying to lose weight before I discovered I had 'accidentally' lost 30lbs, and since that had been so easy I hadn't even noticed, I figured I should just keep going. Once I was about 4 weeks in to calorie counting, I started setting goals, and I never considered them to be an "if". I'm not set…

Just last night, I was SHOCKED to see I have cheekbones rather than apple-cheeks now!! I thought I would always have round cheeks, now I have an actual line to shape my face, lol :b

Al right, thanks, finally something specific to look for! So, this would suggest I should aim to get less fats from nuts, grains and poultry, and more fats from fish and dark green veggies (lol, I'm always saying how those 2 things are sooo nutrient dense... For my nutrition exam, I said that "when in doubt, just write…

Most the time, I just add each ingredients for the meal as I'm cooking. I only use the 'recipe calculator' if other people are going to be eating of it too, or if I'm making a huge batch of something.

Generally people have no idea what a certain weight looks like, especially if it's not near their own stats. They have even less idea of what a certain weight OFF will look like, especially if they don't have any experience with weight loss.

QFT

I did chemistry, and now I'm on my way to be a food science engineer - aka. an evil mastermind in training, apparently... Since I know what the label says, does that mean it' healthier for me then? Or, what if I make those ingredients, cook myself a nice batch of dorritos in our test-lab, does that then mean it's a home…

I consider myself as doing 'low carb', though I get almost 100g/day. I couldn't imagine going lower, I would have to cut back a lot on veggies, which I'm not willing to do. I don't do it for some mythical curse of carbs, I'm doing it because that's what's gotta go to make room for my protein... It's hard getting 100g…

It's going to be hard for fasting muslims living far north this year... I know the sun doesn't go down here until 10:30pm, and goes up already at 4am, so it's going to be no breakfast either... Does any of you choose to adapt a different sleeping pattern during ramadan too? That would probably be really usefull. Splitting…

I tried the chocolate sauce, as that seemed to have less negative feedback than their other products... It tasted AWFUL! I never, ever, ever, throw food out, even if it's really badly tasting, I'll just keep addig a tea spoon to all things until it's gone, but this sauce was just so awful I had to throw it out. And I'm not…

Do you mean healthy or do you mean low calorie? Low calorie, I recommend you check Hungry Girls 'Survival Guide' to fast food: http://www.hungry-girl.com/biteout/show/1899-the-big-fast-food-survival-guide - also for general food places:…

Oh man, I just made this most delicious dish the other day! For 2 servings: 2 slices crisp bread, a fiber full kind. Don't know how common that is around the world, but you could use 1 cup of fiber-cereal too, I suppose. 4 tablespoons of spices. I used oregano, basil, parsley, mint and black pepper 1 egg 2 fillets of fish.…
