Syntrax Sweets has a Double Stuffed Cookie flavor that is really rather delicious, and their Strawberry Mousse flavor tastes like strawberry nestle Quick to me... They're a little bit of a thinner texture than many of the other ones I've tried, which I prefer to the thicker, gunkier ones. And I can make the Syntrax Sweets…

It's a game our brain plays sometimes.... I'm down 170 lbs and my mirror still shows me the same 350lb woman that started this MFP thing. I am starting to see the difference in photos, but the mirror is still very mean. It takes a long time for our brains to catch up to all we've achieved. Occasionally, my youngest son…

Man, I would kill someone for a salad. I haven't been able to eat a salad in over a year. I miss crunchy veg =( Yep, I have stoopid crazy medical restrictions, too. Best of luck to you.

Gamers are sexy. Period.

Canned pure pumpkin is undetectable in chocolate cake mix, too... It makes awesome dense heavy cake though... might be a little more difficult to sculpt it.

I started at 350... still have quite a ways to go before my goal weight... Feel free to add me. I'm supportive when i'm not being snarky ;)

You're allowed, of course, but you should have the intelligence NOT to... Everyone is allowed to be stupid, or act that way... Every tattoo artist/piercer that I know charges extra when people say "bellybutton"... Stupidity tax. Just an FYI... dumbing yourself down does not make you cute.
-
First, it's your navel, not your belly button... Second, it depends on your skin, your scarring rate, and how well you take care of the piercing while you have it. Any time you make a hole in your flesh, there's bound to be some slight scar or indication that it was there... If you took proper care of the piercing, the…

PB2 is great as a mix in for shakes and oatmeal, but if you search for "peanut flour" you can find waaaay cheaper alternatives.

Stevia is a member of the ragweed family causing approximately 5% of people to have an allergic reaction to it. Me, I stop breathing... I have a severe allergy to Stevia in any form. I like breathing. Breathing tastes better than pretty much anything =)

According to my nutritionist, protein helps burn fat. I know that if my protein levels get too low, i dont lose weight. I was told that whey protein is more biocompatable, and I have to avoid soy due to the plant estrogens, so whey it is for me. Protein bars and shakes are rather complicated when you first start out, and…

Whoohooo!! Great job!! It's that kind of thing that makes you want to be able to do cartwheels... I swear once I reach my goal weight, I'm gonna learn how to do a cartwheel... 100 lbs gone is definitely a "shout it from the rooftops" event =)

A traditional Americano is just espresso and water... very VERY low cal... what else are you adding to it?

The Quest bars are friggin' delicious, especially if you warm them up a little. Some people put them in the microwave for 15 secs. Me, I just put them in my pocket for a little bit. The Vanilla and Brownie ones are my favs. They're from the original line and have Splenda in them. I can't try the new line of flavors since…

I started MFP around 350 or so... Sadly, this was not my heaviest...LOL I still have about 60 or so to go til I hit my first big goal, so i'll be here for a while. Feel free to add me if you need more support. I'm very supportive when I'm not cranky and snarky =)

My nutritionist considers anyhting "non-caffeinated, non-carbonated" to be included as "water"... just make sure you're watching the sugar and calories if you're adding juices... make sure you track the numbers... Water is better for you, since it has no added anything, but if you don't like the tastlessness (is that a…

1 box Dark Chocolate cake mix 1 can pureed pumpkin (not pumkin pie mix) 1/4 cup water Mix. dump into a Pam'd 13x9. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Chocolate fudgy awesomeness. I add 1/8 cup of black cocoa and 2 tsp vanilla to mine, but that is entirely optional

Silly enough, being on MFP, my buisiness is called DollHouse Sweets, since I started out making small treats like truffles and cupcakes... and I have a sleeve full of voodoo doll tattoos... ...and my name's Kiera =)
-
Feel free to add me =) I always need more people to be accountable to... keeps me on my toes!
-
I'm somewhere between 25 and 30 tattoos... I've stopped counting... Now there're just turning into sleeves... arms, legs, chest, back, neck... I'll just have one single tattoo eventually =)
-
Hahahaha... I thought it was just me that hated that little Wii voice! ...now if i could get it to stop saying "Ooooh!" when i step on the board...
-
Feel free to add me, i'm 36, lost 125lbs so far, but i still have almost 100 to go til goal =)

Of my many tattoos, only a few have seemed to change with weight loss. As with anything tattoo related, your mileage may vary. Most of mine have seemed to shift a little, and my sleeve is starting to condense slightly, but I seem to be the only person that notices that. My nutritionist did comment that one of my neck…

Well said. I learned long ago that this is MY process and MY body. If i get sabatoged, it's ME that gets the blame. No one can derail you without your permission. You have to let them. Learn to focus on what you are doing and not on what others are doing and you'll be fine.

This is a new way of life for me... definitely not a "diet." I'm still trying to get her onboard, she's just uber-resistant right now... Someday... Someday, she'll be happy for me. Someday, I'll help her with inspiration and motivation. Someday, she'll realize that she, too, has value and is worth taking care of herself.…

My nutritionist counts anything non-caffeinated (not de-caff, NON-caff), non-carbonated as water: Water (yeah, thanks Captain Obvious, i know) Propel type flavored water Crystal Light type stuff Red tea (since it's not really tea) Your body will always respond better to actual plain water, but as always, your mileage may…
