I had a green smoothie made up of: Blueberries Tuscan Kale - this is the really dark green wrinkly kind of kale Avocado Unsweetened vanilla almond milk Vanilla flavoured Vegan protein poweder Psyllium husk Ground Flax It basically looks like green slop but eats like a meal!!! hellllllaaaa good too!

Why have a clueless man in my life? .... all the better to control him, my dear..haha *evil snicker In all honesty, I do my best to control myself and I think that's all I can do. I'm really not trying to take it out on him. I have a weird relationship with food, and I will admit that yes, I am jealous of him because his…

haha I won't argue. What can I say? I wanna be the controlling know-it-all in my relationship and I always know best. Though there are some situations where I prefer to hand over the reins ;)

Guys can be pretty clueless somethimes (no offense, men). I have told my BF many times about the types of food I want to be eating and also the types I want to limit or avoid, and have even asked him not to bring certain types of junk food into the house (especially ice cream and chocolate!) cause my self control is very…

I've seen this list before and IMO it is biased and unfounded. Among the top 5 diets in here you wil find DASH, Mayo, and Weight Watchers - all of which adhere to the american food standards (for daily recommneded amounts of ....). I'm not trying to discredit any of the 'diets' on the list, I'm sure that they all work in…

I developed a binge eating problem after calorie restricting for several months. It has been a roller coaster. You need to stop it from happening BEFORE it happens. If you think you are going to binge on something and feel the urge to do it, think about how you are going to feel afterwards instead of how the food will make…

Get married and have a kid. I'm terrified of all the changes that come with this but deep down inside I feel I want it.

NROL4W is a great book! I have similar stats to you, well at least I did untill I started lifting :). I am abuot 5'5"-5'6", started at 140lbs and am now bouncing around 120-125 lbs. I got down to about 115lbs at one point but I couldn't maintain it with the amount of food I like to eat :). I like running too. During the…

Looks like your only option is plastic surgery. I personally don't mind the look of the dip,..and in fact might even prefer it. To each his own though.

Carb flu. When you cut out that much sugar/carbs you might experience some symptoms such as headaches, low energy, and fogginess. Just push through and your body will regulate itself in due time.

Try to realize that you don't have to be perfect to (insert whatever your goal may be here). All-or-nothing attitude is your worst enemy and best friend at the same time. If something can't be done the right way then it's not worth doing at all, right? WRONG. There will be bumps and turns along the way and it's how we cope…

There's a way to manually adjust your carb/fat/protein ratios in your settings on MFP. I think something around 40/30/30 is ideal for weight loss and is pretty sustainable. That being said, everyone is different and it's best not to stress out too much abuot it. If you are eating at a calorie deficit, you should be losing…

Well I can officially report that you are not alone. I am going through the same thing and I know of a few other people who have. It's a cycle: diet - binge - purge, repeat. For me purging is either in the form of fasting or exercise. Though I do really enjoy exercise and would go alot either way, I do do it sometimes to…

I'm pretty sure of two things: I never would have lost weight without MFP, and I never would have developed BED without MFP. It's not just about the food anymore. I have anxiety, OCD, feelings of depression, i'm unsocial and extremely irratable. All I ever want to do is be alone so that I can just do whatever I want…

I've been working on handstands and am so in for the HSPU! I'd like to be able to walk a few steps on my hands too. Nothing easy is worth doing, right? Lol.

only if you keep doing it!

69 burpee pull-ups in 15 minutes for my first WOD at the box I just signed up for!

ok so i'm a bit confused about the colorful toenails here? What exactly is happeneing to your feet people?!!! I guess I don't run enough to have this problem, but every Sunday morning I get up at 7AM and run for about 10K. I do have some blisters, calluces and lots of peeling gross skin on my feet though...but never got…

When I'm offered a food or drink that I don't want and the person is always like "oh c'mon, one cookie won't hurt", or "one drink won't hurt".... why do you care so much what I eat or don't eat!?? My body, my choice, leave me the F* alone. Sorry for the underlying anger coming up here but this happens to me a lot and I am…

Lifting weights makes me feel like superwoman. I love it so I do crossfit which combines weights lifting with endurance and high intensity. I love both being and feeling strong and weight lifting takes care of both of these. I'm constatntly improving because there is always more weights/plates out there to lift. I feel…

I've never even attempted a HSPU yet, though I plan on joining a box soon so will hopefully get the coaching I need to learn how! I practise handstands alot though, just against the wall and working on my balance. I find them fun :)

I use gloves for most barbell and dumbbell work. Not for pullups tho, I need to have full contact with the bar for those or I just feel like I'm slipping away.

she's an ongoing nuissance to everyone in this group or anyone that even mentions the word 'crossfit' in the forum. Just ignore her and block her. Check out our previous dicsussion about her: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1079863-she-s-baaaaaaaack

I'm not sure I understand why people want to do things they don't enjoy? I have this feeling that most of you who say you HATE running secretly enjoy it, but complaining about it gives you oppurtunity to talk about it and brag in front of your friends about your secret awesomeness without sounding like an egotistical…

haha i share this train of thought. Let it be. Concentrate on yourself.

I solely use coconut oil for all my cooking, mind you I'm really not a great cook and don't make anything too fancy...stir fry, eggs, fish, chicken, I use it in baking too. I found it at Costco for $15 (CAD) for three jars (best deal!)...if you go to any other health food stores around here (Canada) its usually around…

I've been able to kip for a while now but wasn't able to strict pull. Having read a few things about this I tried strict PU's last week to see if I could do em yet and lo and behold I got a couple in. I'm not pushing out huge volumes of these things yet (kip PUs or strict PUs), so hopefully I am not doing any damage. My…

my fave is chocolate peanut butter, the peanut butter supreme is also very good but I am am a PB-a-holic. There aren't many flavors that I dont like actually, lol. Best way to eat em tho: put them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. MMmmmmm soo good. Man i think I need a Quest bar now.

In order of importance: 1) Peanut Butter 2) Chocolate 3) Ice cream
