What about overnight oats, yogurt, or instant oatmeal in the morning? Eggs are a cheap source of protein. You can make a fried egg sandwich or a breakfast burrito quite quickly in the morning. Wrapping it in foil makes it portable. I second the recommendation to cook larger meals and bring leftovers for lunch. It may be…

That's actually very interesting! Most of the Catholic community around me is Roman Catholic based/Italian. It seems like most people choose to give up an item rather than fast. This year I feel committed to sticking with the fasting days and to simplify my life so I can reflect more deeply.

Is it possible he also has more weight to lose? It's true that men and women's bodies are different. Try to focus on your own progress. It's great that the two of you are committed to bring healthier. That means more years together hopefully. When you're feeling down, think about that!

Cinnamon herbal tea or other tea of your choice. I don't add milk to anything besides chai.

The master cleanse is not healthy. I recommend you reconsider or at the very least consult a medical professional before starting anything so drastic.

I've made them several times. We toss the wedges in olive oil and apices. You can do sea salt, chili powder, pepper, etc.

There's nothing for you to articulate. He knows he's gained weight. He either doesn't care or isn't ready to change anything. All you can do is to continue with your healthy life style. If you primarily do the cooking, use healthy recipes. Keep exercising. Perhaps when the weather is nice you both can take a bike ride,…

I have the Polar FT4. I like it. Previously I tried a Timex brand model which I did not like.

Have not read all the comments, but perhaps you could encourage her to go in for a check up with her doctor. She may not listen to you but perhaps she will be more willing to listen to a medical professional.

Hatha yoga can be a bit slower. I think starting a class with a knowledgeable instructor is preferable to a DVD at home while starting out. Not sure how experienced university fitness class instructors are. My suggestion is to give a class a try. If you can find a yoga studio that may be even better. Listen to your body…

Yes, absolutely use a strap if that feels good. You can also use the rope from your robe if you do not have a yoga strap. If you are primarily looking for the back bend, you could try doing cobra/baby cobra instead. Listen to your body. Skip or modify poses if something feels wrong. Since you do have some knee issues,…

If you like it or have large quantities, use it. There's no sense to waste it. Personally, I like to limit my HFCS consumption. It's not a deal breaker and you need to work within your limits.

Reasons to switch may be lower cals or if you cannot tolerate dairy. Personally I like cow's milk more. If milk fits into your goals now, there isn't a real reason to switch.

Just because you wish to make lifestyle changes, that doesn't mean he does as well. Can you have him put his treats in a specific location and you put your go to foods on a separate shelf?

Fage Total is available at my local grocery store. It's available in a larger container.

Hey there! I can totally relate to feeling like you have to start over. Last winter I was my heaviest weight ever. I've last weight once before but over time I had gained it all back. Having a support system absolutely makes a difference! I know I've stopped and started plenty of times. It matters that you want to give it…

Nice progress!

Your parents are concerned because you are underweight with a BMI of 16.5. Have you talked to anyone about your relationship with food? You can absolutely be thin and be a healthy weight. That may mean eating a bit more or eating different foods than you eat now. Right now that probably sounds very scary to you. Getting…

How much are you eating a day? Getting enough sleep? Make sure you are getting the right nutrients and enough rest. If you continue to feel worse, a follow up with your doctor may help.

Also from the Great Lakes area. I haven't coped the best with winter this year. Recently I've refocused my attentions to make sure i'm eating well. I also have a countdown to spring I check. Today I was practically giddy because it was light out when I left work. Just remember that every day is a wee bit longer! :drinker:

Hello! Feel free to add me!

+1 OP, you can try having an honest conversation about how his comments and behavior make you feel. See if he is willing to change his attitude. If not, he should go out the door. I dealt with a similar situation and for me the relationship was not worth fixing. Ultimately that decision is yours to make, but you deserve…

Also from Rochester. Hey!

I'm in!

I'm 22, 5'0, currently hovering around 123 lbs. I've lost about 20 pounds off of MFP, but I feel like I'm in a rut! I'm slowly getting back to counting calories/working around macros. My workouts have also suffered lately. I would love some friends. Feel free to add me!

You can roast all sorts of veggies. Sweet potato, parsnips, onion, garlic, etc. Roasted veggies are good as a side dish or in soups. What about raw veggies tossed in an oil based dressing?

Can you buy a cloth measuring tape? That's another way to check your progress if you cannot consistently weigh yourself. Edit: oops, already mentioned! I also second the recommendations to check your campus wellness center and gym

My go to choices are: string cheese, mixed nuts, apples, bananas, carrots, bell peppers, homemade granola bars

My grocery store has it in the health food/organic section. If you can't find them in conventional grocery store, check one of your local health food stores.
