All great suggestions,but you win! So genius :P

It doesn't matter how much I eat in the morning... I'm still hungry by 3pm. I tried for so long to balance my cals evenly through-out the day, or have more in the morning instead, but I just can't seem to control myself later in the day. Whereas I can fast all day at work not give a darn... Soooo I'm definitely a dinner…

Whoooaaaaaa gun show! You're doing amazing :) Nothing to be ashamed of here!

I used to be a line cook in a hospital and we had to deal with patients w/ dysphagia and other food difficulties.. you can pretty much puree anything... so as gross as it sounds, making a "slurry" out of meatloaf, or chicken soup, or any vegetable (although we found that things with skin got chunky...) is pretty…

Absolutely! Enjoy yourself without making habits out of those indulgences.

Yes!!! So happy you've found balance and success :) You are one of my favorite buddies on here, you are so positive and inspiring to me <3 keep it up, you've got everything going for you.

Protien is vital to our diets. Just like dirt is vital to a plant growing. It's just another type of nutrient we need to keep going. As for protein POWDER specifically- that is not necessary, in my opinion, as long as you are getting your nutrients from somewhere (aka "real food.") edit to add - I always had trouble…

that's so rude! I was a vegetarian for about 5 years. I got those comments all the time. Can't say I ever got the hang of what to say other than just changing the subject. :( Maybe you should just assert yourself to make it clear that it is NOT funny and it's NOT appropriate conversation. They had their change to make…

I like the Green Machine :) Smoothies are definitely high in sugar simply because of the fruit content (I don't remember offhand if Naked has added sugar, though I think not). Also high in calories, because think about how many pieces of fruit you're condensing to fit in there! As for dietary fiber, that is a good thing,…

I don't personally... I suppose I have a few things lingering in my closet that don't QUITE fit me yet, but it's not like I take them out and look at them. I do, however, like to look at pics of people's success stories ... had to carefully phrase that so I wasn't saying "I like to look at pictures of hot chicks on the…

I was told if I want to ever concieve children I should watch my soy intake. *shrug* I don't completely avoid soy but I'd say go easy? If you're not lactose intolerant I'd just have milk.

perfect

Eek that's EXACTLY my thought, too! I LOVE sushi, and I sure love me some dairy. Bread I don't miss, and no matter what kind of food philosophy you have sugar is not healthy so obviously that's a minimum... so hey! There we go. Bit of white rice I think I heard is not so bad actually, as per marksdailyapple. I think...…

doh- squishy did not do well weekend was a flop. I did so awesome all week! Now this! Bad Squishy, bad! >:( Sooo I'm extending my Whole30 a couple days to make up for the badness I allowed- not perfect, not the program as outlined, BUT at least I'm accountable in some respect. Also, I am NOT letting this derail me from…

CRAP. Now I really want Dunkins. ....that aside, I am actually doing fine (not to brag)! Perhaps you could try eating MORE, just of the good stuff? Would that help?? Perhaps some starchy carbs like a sweet potato? Maybe that will suffice as a replacement for the time being. edit to add- salt really helps me kill any…

day 5! can ya believe it? I feel awesome, actually. No cravings for unhealthy things (well, I've been tempted, but no unstoppable-omg-I'm-gonna-die cravings, which is what I normally have). I feel kind of empowered, in fact! No real failures IMO, just some annoying moments for my OCD :) .......I ate a slice of salami that…

I try to ignore it and keep on going with my "normal" life. ......easier said than done, but that's my tactic. I just have to really mind-over-matter it and tell myself that YES I do need a bathroom break right now, + some Advil/heating pad/etc but that's just a part of my hygeine and I have to get over it. I try not to…

hope you feel better soon! I'm pretty stuffy/sniffly but that's pretty par for the course, it being October n all... damn chilly weather

you look awesome!

In moderation I say it's fine. Obviously it's not healthy, but you know that :) I will say, most of my weight GAIN was from alcohol. And the rest from binge eating while drunk.. So again, alcohol. Lol

hmmm 1200 does seem like a low RMR, however I think you could take that knowledge and ignore the rest, if you so chose. As in, consider that number to be accurate as your RMR, but make your own decisions about how much you should be eating based on your knowledge here. I feel like the TDEE number is really the scary one,…

I love it. It's hard not to fixate on the scale, which is why I've put it in a new, unlikely-o-be-stepped-on-at-random-times location. Feeling much better about myself, and trying to notice the way I feel more than the number I see! :)

you look awesome!!! :) and I'm lovin the undead thing. hahaha I'm going to be a zombie bride for Halloween- bought a $30 wedding dress at Goodwill.. SO READY. Anyhoo- you rock!

turkey burger vs hamburger... just not the same. Not gross by any means, but not what I'm craving when I think BURGER

my understanding w/ almond milk is that it's okay if it's actually JUST almond milk- a lot of them have chemical preservatives, sweetners, etc. Just read your labels I think was the warning on it! :) Good luck to you!

I'm planning on prepping some stuff this evening that I can make in "bulk" (for one person bulk is a generous term): roasted veggies - sweet potato, cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers cauliflower puree (my favorite stinkin thing ever, I can eat a whole head and not be sick of it) baked chicken breasts hard boiled eggs mini…

I think as long as I get myself to the gym on a regular basis I will call it a success... lol I wish that was a joke. But I've been real bad lately.

feel free to add! & you should add this girl--> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/JenaeSmith

doesn't seem safe to me. I know it's sad when folks lose their licenses due to age/etc, but if it's not safe, they shouldn't be out there.
