I think Cool Whip is better when it's frozen. :) So yeah, I do this, too. So tasty!

I only realized how long it had been in the house after I knew it was bad. I'm the only one in my family who eats creamy peanut butter, and I haven't in a while since we didn't have any jelly, and since I was gone all through the last school year.

JIF brand, it had been opened approx a year ago. It's natural for the oil to separate, but that smell was awful, and it didn't spread the way good peanut butter does.

Peanut butter goes bad. Everybody learn from my mistake. I didn't think peanut butter ever went bad. *ew, peanut butter oil all over the counter and my hand and my elbow*

Now I know where all the weight I've lost is coming from! My wrists! They've always been tiny to begin with (just for fun, I measured - it's a six inch wrist). And now my watch is sliding around more than usual, sometimes completely around. Dear body, I have a checklist of the parts of me that need to lose weight.…

Most athletes have very minimal body fat just by virtue of all the training they do - it's why they're able to eat more calories, but it's also why they're still unable to eat as many calories as they should. Maybe Phelps can manage 12K calories a day, but I'm full by 2K myself, and 2800 is probably the most I've ever…

Ironically, I weigh less right after I exercise and hydrate around 10pm than I do when I wake up in the morning, which is part of the reason why that's my weigh-in time.

Over the last two or three days, I've gone from weighing 161 every evening to 165. I'm eating all my calories and sometimes a little bit over, but that shouldn't make me gain - I should just be losing at a slower rate. I exercise every day and try to vary the times and the speed when I can. I drink too much water for it to…

Dare I ask what the winner gets? :wink:

Yep.

Something you should also do is go to your general physician. It could be alopecia, which is an autoimmune disorder that attacks hair follicles. (I have trichotillomania, which is the mental version of that - I compulsively pull my hair out. I just like to spread awareness.)

Another perk is that if you exercise, you have more calories in your caloric allowance for the day in order to eat.

Hee, no, it was 135 lbs. And I am short, so I was actually a little thick at that point, too.

For the record, I'm happy that I've lost the weight I have. But I have seen and felt no changes, so my two problems areas are still making me feel disgusting. Ever since my double-chin came along and took away my jaw line, I've had a real hard time looking at pictures, and sometimes even mirrors in certain lights. And my…

That site was recommended to me by my nutrition professor, too. :)

Yep, I make this into muffins. My brother and I love the death out of them. I don't even bother with the half cup water.

What I do is every time I bring my water bottle or drinking glass to my lips, I make sure that I drink one cup in one take. It helps with my water bottle because then I can squeeze it in really quickly. Now I drink like that naturally, and I can drink about 10-12 cups a day.

My favorite breakfast is a Light Yoplait yoghurt (my flavor is Berries 'n Cream, but you can use whatever you want) with granola mixed in. You can also throw in blueberries or sliced fruit. It's even better when you put it in the freezer for a while. :D

God, yes, she was insane. 130 is lower than my ideal weight, and I'm 5'1".

I recommend a spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin. It's heaven.

Probably because its intent isn't physical fitness. Therefore, it isn't exercise - instead, it is considered physical activity, which is always encouraged, of course.

It took about five weeks of nothing through most of May, but then I dropped about four pounds of water weight (I now drink water like crazy, which has helped stop rampant water retention) and started losing in earnest in June. It's just a pound a week because the only exercise I'm able to do is fast walking for about an…

Yeah, I've lost ten pounds, and I really don't see or feel any difference, in how I look in the mirror or how I feel in clothes. So I'm just hoping the fifteen or twenty pound mark will make that difference.

Actually, it makes sense if you want to maintain. It would probably be 1200 calories if you were trying to lose weight.

Baked potato. Full of good stuff all by itself.

There's always the pumpkin and unsweetened applesauce route, too.

Peanut butter. Sautee something in olive oil. Have an avocado. Orange juice. A banana. Some stuff with lots of calories but good stuff, too.

Right there with you, love. I had seen 166 on my scale for the first time in months. Half a day passed, and I was up to 171 again. I just have to tell myself not to weigh myself until a few days after it's gone.

Your body is saying that you didn't eat enough. :) Eat a lot of veggies. I have a veggie wrap for lunch, and the bulk of the calorie count is in the tortilla, but it's the vegetables that fill me up because there is so much of them!

The way that MFP works is that it calculates how many calories (sans exercise) you need to eat in order to lose however many pounds you want to lose in a week (within reason). So when you exercise, you can eat all those exercise calories and still lose weight at the same rate. Also, you need to replenish energy stores…
