How do you know she doesn't know it's her tail? That's a pretty big assumption there and not a fact. I think my cats understand a lot. They know their names and protect eachother - example, we have a ferral momma cat who has been hanging on our back deck. She's tried to attack our cats through the back window. When she…

Yeah! Mickey is a MOUSE, not a rat. Edit: I'm blonde so I had to put the clairfication. And it's almost 1am.

I sing songs to the cows as we pass them on the highway about how yummy they are. So I don't think that a cartoon is going to change that - Chik Fil A uses those cows to try to convince us to eat their chicken. I'll take my chicken with a side of cow please. I already think that animals have personalities and all that good…

It can depend on your body size. For example I'm a big girl, so it takes more weight loss for it to show up. Seeing from your signature that you want to lose about 100lbs, that might be part of the deal - the proportion of weight lost just isn't enough to have a visible effect. Also, remember weight isn't really the best…

These are such awesome suggestions! Thanks! I didn't know there were so many options out there. I'll definitely look into these and see which will work best for me. I didn't know they had HRMs that worked with bluetooth, too. Thanks again!

Hey Michael! Welcome to MFP! So, I'd like to address a few things that have been on this thread. Yes, we frequently estimate we eat less than we actually do. It's not until we actually use the portions and can get a real feel for it that we can understand how much we have been eating. That could be one aspect for you.…

Yogurt is a wonderful example! The typical yogurts are like candy and the greek yogurt from the major companies like Dannon are messed up too.

It's like an addiction. You just have to do it. After a few days it goes away. As for the sugar free stuff, that's always been a bit of a debate. There is data that says that it does cause you to crave it more, the debate is the mechanism. Be it blood sugar controls or you tasting sweet and expecting calories... I don't…

Welcome Kevin! The forums are a great place here to help with motivation. We have a section called Success Stories which is great when you need to see that it is possible. Plus, there are a bunch of people on here that you can "friend" and motivate eachother more privately on your main page if you aren't into the forum…

Yes, I agree! I can't believe I forgot about trusty protein bars and shakes. Although I have started to see them in gas stations more frequently.

I should probably edit my post... now if you made goat pizza, that would be a different story. Oh heavenly pizza! mmm meat. I want some now!

Nuts are awesome. Popcorn. Precut veggies. Apples, oranges, pears - those don't require a cooler. When I was younger we used to make our own sammiches. A few slices of deli meat wont take up much space in the cooler and the bread or wrap doesn't go in there. And for eating out on the road, I avoid drive through generally,…

I don't think I could eat an entire goat at one session, but I'd be willing to cook it up and save the rest for later. Meat. is. awesome.

Veggie trays/cut veggies, fruit salad, quinoa salad with veggies... Shishkabobs with meat and veggies. I've been bringing a lot of my own food to things lately (struggling in keeping gluten free despite my need to). So that's how I've had to manage with it. Of course there are the options of don't use a bun, or only half a…

If it's any help, palm oil is pretty good for you. Despite the stigmas associated with oil, there are some great benefits to palm oil. Of course that doesn't mean that eating 3-4 cups of it is that great. ;) Here's an article about what's in palm fruits (they even mention the benefits for cholesterol)…

I found this thread where they talk about traditional African dishes that they all love. Perhaps this forum might have some of the answers you are looking for? I'm not sure what everything is, so I don't know how much help I can really be, as much as I'd love to solve your question!…

I'll look around too and see if I can find any information for you. I'll check back shortly and let you know if I find anything else to help. Is this similar to the palm butter: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/organic_palm_shortening.htm?gclid=CPTbwqCBp6oCFQsS2god43TcZA Or are you talking about that soup kind of thing? I…

I love the spicy stuff. Like spicy crab, spicy tuna, spicy shrimp. Oh my! I just went thru a crazy sushi phase this week. I wonder if it's in the air? Enjoy what ever you want, just don't do what I did and order like 3 rolls only to be stuffed after the first. haha

I don't get why it's such a big deal. It's a zipper! Whooopty do! I'm never embarassed that I forgot it. I mean, if something is hanging out, then that might be embarassing (or a moment of pride...). But I'm not a guy. Anyway, if it's a stranger, and if I make eye contact, I'll gently motion/whisper. Then smile nicely and…

I'm not from one of those cultures, but I'll share what I've learned in hopes it will help you. First, this is based on what I know from living in the US. All of our foods have to be labeled. So when you buy ghee (like I did the other day, so good!) It's on the label. You can also try Googling your item of interest and…

It takes up the flavor of what it's around, so like the PP you gotta season it. You can stir fry it, bake it in the oven, toss it in soups, there are veggie protein crumbles that you can use to make like a meat pasta sauce or hamburger helper type things. I will share this, remember that it is a hormone analog. So not…

Hmmm...none of that really makes sense to me. The heat is going to make the fat essentially melt, as in become more liquidy. As far as reduce calories, that doesn't make sense either. I can't even think of a possible explanation for that happening.
-
My smarta$$ response is: with a fork. But, my helpful response is: find things that are easy first, like the fresh cut veggies in the produce area, or like the pre-made sishkabobs at the meat counter. That way it doesn't seem daunting. I also generally suggest an easy pasta dish with hearty veggies like spinach,…

I didn't say she didn't do the searches, nor did I say she was innocent. The searches were in March, so there is the possibility that for 3 months she was just putting her "out" while she partied and the night she wanted to be with bf she used too much. The state never really addressed her actually making it and how it…

I go with guilty, but I've had issue as to whether there is sufficient evidence for premeditated and thus murder 1. I definitely could do murder 2 or agg. They just haven't really put Casey with the chloroform in her hands or mixing it up for sole purpose of murder. I can imagine a series of sedating Caeley and something…

Obviously cutting tummy fat is how you'll see them. But I've also heard that some of the traditional workouts for abs, like crunches aren't that great for the rest of your body, like the spine. Although I do feel the burn! Some other movements are natural type ones that really engage them like planks, or having proper form…

See? Cartoons aren't just for your kiddos, OP!

We all have activities that are harder for some than others. I've never been a runner. And I think I've resigned myself to knowing that I'm not made to run, but I know that I can ride a bike pretty well. (Ok, after I got my tushy accustomed to the seat again...) I rocked at bike riding when I was young, but couldn't run,…

I gained weight and turned into a raging b!tch. Like throwing things kind of b!tch. Never was like it before, or now. Plus, I gained about 40lbs while on it and had constant spotting for over 6 months. Each person is different, but my main issues didn't pop up until about 5-6 months in. I always hope that other women don't…

I know you are asking for fellow support, but I found Depo to be hell. It totally messed with my body and mind. I hope that everything goes well for you and you are able to lose weight. :) Hopefully after being on it for a little longer you'll even back out. Good luck!
