Whatever dumbassedness has people assigning gender to word choice (and subjugated gender at that), it sounds like you're looking for increased fat loss. As we reduce fat, we increase the likelihood that we can see the muscle that lies beneath. One way to do this is to emphasize fat loss, through cardio and eating under our…

Filtered tap water for the humans and pets in our house. Usually just keep the pitcher on the counter until the extreme heat of summer, when it goes in the fridge. Strange that I like iced tea, but do not like ice water, or water that's "too cold" to my tastes. I get pissed when I'm at meetings and they serve those…

Martin's potato rolls would beat the spam off any King's Hawaiian bread in my house. Never cared for the sweetness of King's. But potato rolls? In particular, Martin's? Yes ma'am!

Cultural dissonance. To "check for someone" is not the same as "checking someone out." In this case, it means that nobody is coming for them, nobody is trying to belittle them, call them out, harrangue them, harrass them, demean them...fill in your choice description of a situation in which a person is being given a hard…

If you're familiar with that rich, full flavor of Indian jaggery...well, your coffee or chai will taste of coffee or tea with jaggery, should you add jaggery to it. I think it would be *different* than the taste of coffee/tea with white sugar, which generally adds sweetness without any particularly noticeable additional…

Re. jaggery: Jaggery is simply another form of sugar, but far less refined than the white granulated sugar most Western diets incorporate today. You can get some additional nutrients from jaggery, and a different, "darker" or "earthier" taste than the refined white stuff. Most important thing about jaggery is trying to…

What about PTSD don't you personally think?

Bump for the food pr0n

For people who are weighing food, using cups and numbers of pieces as measurements just isn't sufficiently accurate. Plenty of foods are marked with serving sizes like "6 pieces (30g)." It's worth it for folks like me to have both numbers in there, with the requisite computers-work-this-way spacing between. I know the…

Actually, if you're on the East Coast, I'd love to have them for the novelty of their jars alone. Hell, if you're near a mailbox, let's talk! For flavor, they're probably pretty tired out. I'd not be concerned about safety, just usefulness as a culinary resource. If you'd like to invest a small bit of money to get great…

Hi, I'm visiting from Team Teal because I saw your thread. It looks like Team Navy's team lead was assigned to "FitMomRunning" according to the spreadsheet. But it also looks like she hasn't entered her information into the spreadsheet. She may not have noticed that the Challenge has started, or perhaps she isn't…

I'm thinking she has grounds for divorce and alimony too, if you married her without knowing this essential detail.

Water is particularly appealing when poured into a curvy glass. Something about those curves...

Not a runner, but I'm chesty and know other chesty women who run. First area to address may be the bra you're wearing. Loose-fitting bras can add to chaffing, as can cotton material. You might also want to switch to shirts made of special wicking material rather than cotton. You're looking to reduce rubbing and to quickly…

So, OP, I hear you saying what's not working for you. Have you decided to just fall into the cake when you bake, accepting your lack of resistance? Or are you deciding to forgo baking to remove the catalyst for caving?

Thanks to Modellabell, the Challenge spreadsheet has been updated, with protected fields to ensure we don't get team members scrambled up again. As of this evening, these are the members of Team Teal: 40dayFit kerenvaknin meowlymary mljh1970 superlilmomma danielle2198 GMStb10 WorkingOutInPA Healthyrequest LittleAngelamj…

Checking in again after the workday to see how everyone's doing! Seems like the Challenge spreadsheet is still out of commission, so I'm not completely sure who all of our members are! Could all Team Teal members post a reply so we can know who we all are?

This is a very nice post from the MFP blog on how to deal with our kryptonite foods: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/2013/12/so-you-want-to-stop-eating-your-food-kryptonite/ Ah, I give up on trying to make it an active link. It's easy to copy-paste into a new window, though.

HELP WITH SPREADSHEET: Hi, Modellabell, There seem to be some errors in the spreadsheet, and we could use your help! At least for Team Teal, member names seem jumbled up and maybe even duplicated. Not sure if that's because so many people are updating the spreadsheet, but now it's not clear who is actually on the team, and…

Good morning, Team Teal! Hoping that everyone has weighed in and entered both their starting weight and their goal weight for the 12-week Spring Fling Challenge! Remember that your goal weight for this challenge is the weight you'd like to be on the scale at the end of the next 12 weeks. Thank you, SuperLilMomma, for…
