What sort of meals are you cooking? High protein isn't terrible. i'd just cook more veggies, eat those first. Then the protein and then - if you're still hungry, whatever else. Just because he's bulking doesn't mean it's always "fat foods" just eat in moderation. Serve out your portion and his and immediately put the rest…

Does alcohol really affect it THAT much? I mean, I am sure it probably doesn't help get rid of it (lol) but can it actually be part of why it's not going away??

I feel like you should look into WHAT you're eating if HOW MUCH you're eating doesn't make sense. Like, pre celiac diagnosis, I could eat toast and butter and be so unwell all day and not want anything else. Now, I eat eat eat eat but it's more satiating and healthier for me. Not saying that it's gluten related for you,…

Hey all! I'm Tara and I'm trying out the running thing here once I get my treadmill in the basement. My plan is to pop on a show (got the box set of Glee - judge me haha!) and use that time on the treadmill ~40 min. I play soccer so I am used to running but when I'm chasing something not just....running. When did you guys…

I put half a scoop of my coconut protien powder in it. Or a tbsp of PB2. or fresh fruit. But agreed, it's not the be all and end all of *~health

Same. I make my lunches the night before but when I get in to work about 20 min early, I take 5 min to plug it all in to MFP. It also shows me what allotment I have for dinner. (I will delete at the end of the day if I don't eat something)

I know it's a commercial, but that Dove (I think??) commercial that suggests 99% of women will have a self-hate moment every single day really hit home for me, and it your post does the same. Most people - men and women alike - will have a moment of self hate or self doubt or something at any given moment. The advice I…

Good for you. It really are those challenging times that we see how strong we are. Did you have to explain anything to anyone or were most of them pretty understanding?

I love my fitbits. I had the One first and enjoy it because it's more discreet and I can use it during my games where you're not supposed to have any accessories on (oopsie) but recently I got a Charge HR and love it for day to day stuff.

lol at no one answering his 'unrelated' question.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only person who gets skeeved out by that.

<3 I feel your literal pain. Current injury: Major turn burn on my elbow/high forearm. About 5 inches long, 4 inches wide, give or take. Past 'fun' injuries: Subdural hematoma on my quad - 2 weeks out. Partial ACL tear, broken each collar bone, broken wrist, sprained ankles. You'd think I would learn and maybe play less…

"I don't like the gym" "I like beer and pizza too much to give them up"

Do you weigh in on that week too? I weighed in today and really disappointed myself though I know it's clearly TOM gain.

What do you all gain around the time of the month?

I find stairs never get easier because you naturally challenge yourself on them much more than on a machine. When you're able to climb a flight, you naturally go to the second. Or increase your speed. Or take two at a time. Machines are good to measure your capabilities but the actual day-to-day office stairs never seem to…

Yeah, there was an 8 year old (guesstimate) in our theatre. It made me a little uncomfortable. Not my call obviously but when I saw him I was a bit baffled.

LOVED IT! Even did my nails for the sweetheart! I'm glad I was extecting the gore otherwise I would have been a little uncomfortable but all in all - hilarious!

Unbelievable. Excellent work. It certainly puts peoples struggles and excuses into perspective - my own included. Excellent job!

That was me end of day yesterday! Spreadsheet nerds Unite!

This thread! New contacts. Fresh linens on the bed. A bubble bath with a glass of red. A soccer win!

I do it weekly, Wednesday mornings right after I 'empty' haha. This way - it's not too close to the weekend to obsess over it one way or the other.

Iron pills saved my life - almost literally. I take 2 a day (breakfast and lunch) and still try to eat iron rich. The anaemia diagnosis as @nvmomketo mentioned, triggered my celiac diagnosis. Since I've been GF, my iron has bettered (as well as my other nutrients) but I still need to take it. Also as mentioned, try to take…

I might do stairs during lunch sometime. Assuming my bra is sufficient for that movement lol!

Literally?

This is me. But more hair. And a girl. But seriously, the other day I was fooling around with my SO and I reached for a slice of my mandarin orange. He caught me. Then we continued with citrus kisses.
