Agreed - sounds hearty and healthy! Our winter has been so mild thus far here in FL that I haven't made many soups, but I think I could go for this one in any weather! Thanks for posting.

Great idea! As soon as I start drinking coffee again, I'm giving this a try.

My favorite no-cook, 5 minute, 6 ingredient go-to meal is: 6 oz ahi tuna steak (use sushi grade since it's raw. I use the flash-frozen ones from Costco, thawed, and they are still fine too) 1 haas avocado 1 tsp toasted sesame oil 1 tsp sesame seeds Soy sauce or kosher salt Sriracha hot sauce (optional) Dice the raw tuna…

I understand how it's hard for some people to cook, even if they are following a recipe. It's hard to just follow steps without any context. Sometimes understanding a technique can help you cook more intuitively. If you understand the principals behind some basic cooking methods (broiling, braising, frying), a few base…

[/quote] Rowing machines are amazing cardio and can fold up to be really small [/quote] I just sold my treadmill - which I rarely used since I prefer to run outside. It took up A LOT of space! Now, my rowing machine is on its way! I made the switch so I can get both cardio and some strength/muscle - rowing works…

LOL , exactly. He sounds like a charmer.

Baby oil. It's cheap and works like a charm. In theory, a bit of oil around your eyes might also be good at preventing wrinkles....

Yeah, sorry it takes FOREVER now to calculate the standings. We made it faster to enter data last week, but fixing that somehow made everything else slow down even more. By the next Olympics we'll have worked out the glitches... LOL All your info is there, don't worry. Sorry if it's hard to tell where you stand but I just…

Only a few hours left! The competition ends at midnight London time (note that that means 7:00 pm Eastern time for those in the US).

I love the NuvaRing - no shots or pills, no crazy mood swings or weight gain. Easy! Note: Since it's the same dose no matter the size woman, know that if someone is overweight (my doc said 200+ lbs) the effectiveness will go down.

Love this and anything with egg and avocado together. Today I had a piece of whole wheat toast, spread 1/4 of a ripe avocado like butter on top, then added an ounce of smoked salmon and an easy-over egg. Yoke-y deliciousness for 260 cals and 19 grams of protein.

I agree I would never guess your age - you look much younger! You seem to be doing fine but one thing I would consider is changing your ratios of carbs and protein. MFP has carbs defaulted to a pretty high level, and based on a glance at your diary, you've exceeded even that level occasionally. (Not that carbs are bad and…

I've no idea why, but I've never considered putting peanut butter (or almond butter, etc.) in my oatmeal before. Now I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow!

Montoya was her original name which evolved to Monty, and finally Monkey. Also: Montoyita Monita Monty Monty Monchichi Monkey in the Middle (when she cuddles between us in bed) Perrita Dirty Hairy The Vacuum

I've seen this before, and it still makes me laugh so hard! The food and the staging are hilarious!

Yes, I know ---sorry the site is so slow. It's based on Google servers but I guess all the calculations of the medals and everything make it slow down. We've tried to fix it but haven't really come up with a way yet..... Sorry but good job logging everything! Whew! LOL

This, as well as Dog Days Are Over - Florence and the Machine and lots of stuff by Kei$ha, Rihanna, or Gaga. Funny but I ONLY listen to this kind of music when I'm working out - I hate it otherwise! LOL

Lombrica - Sorry to crash your team thread but I couldn't help notice your comment. The 400 meters is worth more because it is supposed to be a sprint. If you're just walking, you shouldn't be counting those as 400 x 4 = 1,600. We purposely made the points benefit people who do longer distances so when you add shorter…

Thank you Jane and Annya for clearing up this mystery!!! *applause* I do not think we have Sugar Soap here in the States, but I'm not exactly an expert on cleaning supplies so I could be mistaken.....as for bingo wings - yes, we have bingo here and yes, we therefore have our fair share of bingo wings too! LOL

I'm tired of this debate and don't really care what people log, but I really want to know what sugar-soaping is! Come to think of it, I also want to know what bingo-wings are? Is this Brit slang I haven't heard before?

Currently: La Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver Recently read (and recommend): -Animal, Vegetable, Miracle - also by Barbara Kingsolver but non-fiction -Hunger Games trilogy - loved them - read them all in a week -All eleven books in the Mary Russell series by Laurie King (women's take on Sherlock - loved them!) -Pillars of the…

It doesn't matter in terms of your weight loss, but for me eating smaller meals on a regular schedule keeps everything else, um, regular and helps prevent highs and lows in blood sugar. You don't want to be around me when my blood sugar gets low.....:mad:

Our dog's name is Monkey. I love going to the grocery store and asking my husband "Do we need Monkey food?". We get really funny looks. I also have a fish named Herman. Get it?

I have a Polar FT60 and it seems to work very well in the water (not the GPS part, mind you, but the chest strap and heart rate monitor part). I don't see it losing connection intermittently in the water - it is very steady and my heart rate seems consistent with the effort of other exercise I do. I have noticed if you…

My husband and I recently started celebrating Date Night Thursdays where we usually go to a nice (and usually new) place. We maybe eat out one other time during the week, unless we have company or are traveling and then it's more often. We cook or grill at home together often. I used to eat lunch out 5 days a week…

The hood of my car (it's a convertible). Not room for much else!

Meerkat - yes we've noticed that problem and we fixed it! Now when two people are tied for individual event medals, the tie breaker is total fitness points overall (rather than alphabet like it was before). Hope that keeps you motivated to go for gold!

Thanks for posting this - I've been within 5 lbs of the same weight for around 9 months now, but I do think my body composition has changed - thanks for the reminder it's not all about the scale.....

Hey Jamacian Bobsledders - we need a relay! -I think if chigui does 5,000 and/or 10,000 cycling we have possible two relays there... -If Erica does weightlifting and/or Athletics 5,000 we get another two.... -If Becca does some of the virtual stuff (which I think you said you have the ability to do) archery, fencing, or…
