  • :p Beef is not the norm for me. Because it is so expensive, it's more of a monthly treat (buy one roast and split amongst several meals) but I get what you mean about the calorie-dense foods. To be completely honest (and I feel very silly), I've never purchased frozen vegetables. I've always eaten fresh or home-canned. Do…
  • That sounds like a good idea. I could probably transition to drinking it with just sugar, and eventually black (or not at all). The coffee was a gift, so once it is gone, I will likely not drink it anymore. Peanut butter also seems like a good way to avoid calories, and I don't need to be buying it anyway. Surely just…
  • Hey guys, it seems like some of you may be reading my tone incorrectly. Please understand that I am not offended or being defensive. I am just honestly perplexed and not sure what I can do within my means. I know it is done, I'm just not sure how. I do wear a fitbit to track my steps, which is why I put in sedentary. My…
  • The breakfast you just described would cost as much as a dinner, not accounting for needing to feed the rest of my family. I can make a whole loaf of bread for the cost of 3 cups of flour, 2 tsp of yeast (purchased in 1lb increments for $5), and water. Other ingredients are added when I have extra. Jellies are already in…
  • I am glad to hear that number doesn't seem abnormally low! Breakfast was 641 calories: My bread recipe is 276 calories for 2 slices, Peanut butter is 190 calories for a serving, Coffee jelly is 32 calories, and a brewed 12 fl oz mug of coffee w/ 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of non-dairy creamer is 143 calories Lunch was 820…
  • Same here. I'm at my goal weight, eating maintenance, and absolutely freezing all the time, even when active. :( I'm completely miserable. I can forget being hungry, thirsty, or needing to use the restroom, but I can never forget that I am cold. This summer, I felt hot maybe 2-4 days. My fiancé runs hot, which makes it…
  • POUTINE! :smiley: How long was your longest cold?
  • Thank you for the advice. :) I'll give that a try!
  • I try, but he tells me that I am skinny enough already and that if I worry about it I'll give myself an eating disorder. I don't want to push the issue, because he weighs 250lbs more than me and I don't want him to feel bad about himself. :( I'd honestly just prefer to be on the lower end of my healthy bodyweight range, so…
  • I had some issues with this, too. When I got my very first outbreak of cold sores, the pain was too terrible that I simply could not eat for a week. Getting liquids down was a serious challenge, but I managed it. As probably happened with you, I lost a lost of weight, and was down to 102lbs. Within a month after getting…
  • Thank you. :) Should I give a day's rest between sessions, or just a day's rest in the middle of the week?
