Congratulations! Wonderful job, keep up the great work! :happy:

Strike two... Don't make it when other people distractions you (so that you go into the other room). I still ate both batches anyway so my cholesterol will be off the charts today, LOL, oh well, the yolk's on me :p ... I saw too that I needed to make the burner so low that its almost blowing out. Don't think I'm going to…

Strike One... Don't put a lid on it.

I do have to say that it sounds a bit strange but I love eggs. I like the whites well done but not rubber and the yolks a little cooked (kind of solid) but not fully cooked, if that makes any sense. I'm looking forward to trying this... I'm wondering if it turns out like custard. Thanks for sharing.

I can't wait to try thisy, thank you for posting! Not to sound stupid but to clarify, when you say upside-down you do mean to cook it with the cut sides up, correct? Also, you are doing an amazing job, 184 pounds, WOW!!! :noway::happy:

When you "Complete Today's Diary" you will likely see that your estimated weight in five weeks will be projected at or near your last check-in weight. That's because the calorie deficit is already includes in you goal calories. You will eventually discover (maybe even now) that it is good to fluctuated at times. If you…

What everybody else already said. Hang in there. At one point I was plateaued for a very long time but ran across a photo of my ARM with a tape measures on it. It had been over two months but I had lost more than an inch off my ARM blubber without the scale budging. Progress is progress. About any one area, you can tone…

I made MyFitnessPal an everyday thing. I never wanted to "count calories" (how tedious)! But when I found MFP and learned how many calories I was eating, what an eye opener! So... The biggest change would be finally keeping track. It's been nearly a year for me so I've tried different things but this site has changed my…

Great job!!! :-D

At least its not bee poo... That's what creeps me out about the thought of eating bugs... Do they gut them first??? :-p

Salt & Vinegar chips... The stronger the better!

The question is great "What the HELL is Splenda?"... It was approved by the FDA too quickly and named "Sucralose" to make it sound like the name that is used for (cane) sugar: "sucrose" which people have been eating for years. Sucralose has been snuck into the food supply for too many things. It was not studied for nearly…

As I was reading, my exact thought was that you are not eating enough. Also, variety is the spice of life and while egg whites don't have all the cholesterol I almost think it would be better to throw a yoke in here or there instead of the string cheese. Google calories and protein there's lots of info to help you find…

I know that this can be a very real and often painful experience. It has been my experience that you don't find the right guy when you are looking. When you are leading a full life, happy and confident with what you as an individual are doing with your life... Men will find that attractive and you will have lots of…

You have plenty of time until August. With marathon type workouts its not really surprising that your body is holding onto the much needed fat stores (for marathon calories). Your body needs to trust that it is going to have the calories it needs when it needs them. I don't believe it will even take a month to reset and…

I found out I was hypothyroid about 1 1/2 years ago. That's when my numbers became abnormal but upon learning the symptoms, it seems that it had been going on for much, much longer. In researching the subject I learned that people often have thyroid problems when their numbers are completely within the "normal" range. I…

Very often, sweet cravings mean that you need protein. If you stock up on good protein bars you can satisfy both your sweet tooth and protein needs. It is tough though if you don't get the best ones for you. I don't like artificially sweeteners so my favorites are a little higher in carbs than I would like. My standby is…

People eat in public all the time, babies are people and if they happen to be in public when they get hungry they too should be allowed to eat. However... The female breast a body part that is still considered a "private" part and reasonable care should be taken to keep them private. BTW, I breast fed my children.

When I was not much older than you, there was a 'new' tv channel that played music videos all day MTV... I could not go anywhere without a babysitter and exercise equipment for the home was unheard of (at least for ordinary people). I just danced and moved and did my own aerobics. I wasn't locked into routines. If I had a…

It feels amazing too :happy: I'm sure you know it didn't happen overnight. :ohwell: This was your first post and with only two responses, you haven't experienced the full support of MFP yet... With your original post being later at night, It 'cycled through' the notifications (letting people know you posted then letting…

If your picture is recent, you don't look like you are 29%. That is close to being 'technically' obese and you really don't look it. If you were at 29% I think you would feel somewhat fat and since you said you don't (and you don't look it) I think something is wrong with their calculation. There are different factors such…

Welcome!!! You're just in time for the holidays :happy: If you are anything like me, you will LOVE MFP!!! :heart: It's a great site to get motivated, to motivate, to learn and make friends all while getting healthier.:laugh:

That's funny, but heck, if its a good neighborhood and it works, every little bit helps! I like the others' suggestions too. Maybe you can sneak in an occasional square here or there; stand at your desk to do a little work and then pretend like you drop your pencil if you have to so that you have to squat to pick it up.…

In case you don't have a car and Wayne ride the bus, see how far it is to the next stop and walk a little further either to or from work. Also, on your walk home, pick up the pace a little bit each day. The more intense the workout the longer your body will burn calories at a higher rate.

It's not going to burn a ton of calories but I like to move my arms as much as I can. Sitting in the car even, you can shake your arms... Pretend like you are shaking q can of spray paint, play the drums and any other combination of things. Over the months it will add up. I don't count it as calories burned but depending…

Sugars can really mess things up. Make sure you are getting plenty of healthy proteins and lots of fiber. Also SLEEP. If you don't get enough sleep, you will not lose weight.

The waist is a tricky area for measuring... It will measure larger if your stomach is full (I you've recently eaten) and smaller in the morning when you are still hungry. Inches lost in your hips is less likely to vary as much. Everything everyone is saying is also true about how much more space fat takes up than muscle…

My friend is on Dukan so I thought I'd flag this so she can check it out... Good health to you all.

My personal (unprofessional) opinion is to let it bounce. Not if its uncomfortable though, only if its for the sake of visuals. Remember what its like now because its going to go away. The body needs to know where the fat and excess skin is (sp it can use/burn it and letting it jiggle accomplishes that. I have had it on my…

That my boobs are fake... My response to that is, "If they were, I'd need to sue the doctor for not making them the same size!!!"
