pickled. i am pretty sure after many tries that that is the only way i like them. there is the brand mama something or other, they carry at albertsons whole in a jar, they are delicious.

um... um..... today was a junk food day. for breakfast i had a bolillo roll with a tbsp each marshmallow fluff and cookie butter (304 calories) that and my daily rockstar zero. i am not sure which one i had first.

ok wait. now. my husband speaks english as his fourth language, and when he describes me he often calls me "taller" which i am taller than a lot of women but he means bigger. he just doesnt speak english that well. and now i reread and i see you are asking if weight lifting stunts your growth... so... either you are a…

i am too heavy to defy gravity.

wet

until then, spanx are your friend....

looks like both. did you lose the weight really fast? i know that can cause extra skin even if the loss isnt over 100. i have heard that it can take a couple years sometimes, and that after a couple years if nothing changed you can look at surgery options. remember your skin has been stretched out since you were 7, it…

have you considered talking to someone about your depression? it sounds like all your self worth is tied up in your looks, and while that can be motivating, it is a lot easier to make things happen if you get past the looks and find a reason that you are worth taking care of.

where do you find escolar that isnt a sushi restaurant... i LOVE it...

its fat. as far as i can tell it actually is a good thing. i see it more the more i lose because i think maybe the density is decreasing. not really sure. i just know i have it to an that to me it is a sign i am doing things right.

it is an issue for me too. i finally realized it isnt that i am a pig at night, it is that i want to do it and like it. so i save 200 calories every day so i can use em at night. or more if i can. if i end up wanting more than i saved i ask myself why... what am i really feeling? more often than not its that i am tired and…

i would totally eat the crap out of one slice for 200 calories. of fresh warm homemade banana bread... worth every calorie. to answer your question though, people in my house do have things that i dont eat. but there isnt much i wont eat, and as far as quantities i judge the worth of everything i put in my mouth and decide…

you dont have to love running though. i do but i didnt always... and when i looked at it as a chore i never could make myself. it took quite a bit of running in spite of myself before i learned to like it. but you dont have to like it. in fact as far as calorie burners it is no better than many other forms of cardio, and…

i do, i am sure a lot of the people losing a lot of weight do too. you have to be in touch with the why you eat before you eat outside of a normal meal. or a bigger than necessary meal. which takes practice. there was this day in august, i was at my moms on vacation, we had gotten my step dad to babysit and planned this…

positive self talk? tell yourself you are more than just your body? lift weights if you feel that you look fat when you are thin, if there is truth to it. but honestly, you probably are thinking more about it because you are counting calories, where before you wouldnt be looking so hard. i noticed the same thing, that i…

are you sure it is bloating?

i have a wide range of favorites, i actually did learn to like it. but not everything. and i dont do the ones i dont like. i run treadmill or outdoors, do various cardio at the gym, where i do 10-20 minutes each on many machines until i reach an hour, so i dont get bored. play tennis against a wall, weight lift at home or…

that sounds like a horrible time. i wouldnt last a week. and not many people would. if you dont like food, go for it. but if you do, i cant imagine how you could stick with that and be satisfied enough to make it work. people can be prefectly successful and eat things other than bland foods and fish oil.

ok now that i have looked at it... how do i find discussions i posted in, not just ones i created? why is it so hard to read? whats with all the white space and tiny bunched together font? why cant you read the topics on the main page without hovering. i am sure these changes are for mobile use but one needs a forum that…

not thrilled thus far. but i didnt really like them before either. so we shall see.

i agree that you should measure weigh and track when you can. its not what you eat, its how much. if you cant weigh everything leave a buffer for error in your goal, and at least weigh the densest things like meat, cheese, etc. track everything no matter what. you may have to adjust your calorie goal a number of times…

lol. i spend 5 days a week 1-2 hours at the gym or otherwise engaged in fitness. i also spend countless hours on mfp goofing around. yet my family gets plenty of my time. i find it funny that people are saying that is too much. it is perfectly possible to give your family plenty of time while still having your own…

here is my question. do you bring it up or does she? is there a reason you got on the scale right after her when you know it makes her self conscious? i notice you asked her to go to the gym with you, but maybe she doesnt like the gym. maybe you guys could do something else that is just for the two of you, like bike riding…

i TOTALLY agree with this. i may be obsessed at times and at first i was just totally obsessed but i had to be. and i still am although i have mellowed a bit. because i pretty much gained it by being obsessed. i was obsessed with food. and now i had to move that obsession into something else. for me i was constantly…

make it a lifestyle change by setting reasonable goals you can attain. by eating foods you love. (you dont HAVE to eat diet food, i dont, but i do know what to avoid and what a serving size is) and doing exersizes you like. track even when you dont want to until it is second nature. get involved and make friends on here if…

i gave up on honey it has more calories than regular sugar.

splenda isnt aspartame... anyway i recently bought nectresse which is made from monk fruit to use in my passion tea. a little goes a long way. it is pretty decent but not by itself. splenda is ok but i dont digest it well. if the nectresse hadnt been on sale i probably wouldnt have bought it though. i like real sugar in…

when i was pregnant i threw up every time i ate burger king. to this day i am no longer drawn in like kid following a pied piper by the smokey smell wafting from bk.... its over. that and carrot cake. cant eat carrot cake either. so two down. come to find out i was not the only one who had this problem at burger king.

i try for three short runs and one long run per week. although lately i moved my run outside a bit where i do sprints. (hiit) so now i guess i do sprints on monday, and then two short runs during the week, and a kinda long run on fridays. i find the longer i go between runs, the less distance i can cover when i do.…

hmmm... i am glad i dont like animal fat. with the exception of bacon or salami. and speaking of salami, i am glad i dont like grocery store cheap salami because i would eat it every day if it was as good as the good stuff. i am glad i like only small amounts of meat if any and typically the leanest ones only. i am glad i…
