I stopped going to the free weights section because some guy got really friggin confrontational after he asked me why I looked so serious and I said "it's because I'm here to work.", he loudly went off on me in front of everyone there telling me I shouldn't give "attitude" to people trying to "help" (he had offered no such…

Jillian Michael's One Week Shred. I lost nearly an inch off my waist. edit: probably mostly due to some water weight loss, though, as I was playing it safe with sodium and carbs during that week.

My local market just started stocking Stumptown's. Holy moly. So good. I like that one and Secret Squirrel.

I didn't realize so many people don't like water. I, on the other hand, can't get enough of it.

Marry me. Not you, sorry. The burger.

It's a proven fact that the people you know personally are a fair representation of everyone, everywhere, and that because you bootstraps'ed your way to health, you've created the standard by which everyone else must, or else they're gonna get a real mean Big Girl Finger Wag. Thank you, Dr. Person.

Make your meals bigger.

Me too. I love my shapely legs. Even at my most fit and lowest bf, my thigh, dear god, the thighs. I think it's awesome.

Oh boy.

Mmmmm crispy chipppsss

I just ask for sashimi salad without the dressing. Super filling, high protein, you get some veg, without all the sugary dressing, and uh DUH lots of delicious sashimi. That, plus a small miso and a green tea, and I don't ever run up my calories too high.

I had to explain this one to a coworker. She made the right call and decided not to waste her money on fancy laxatives that'll make her lose temporary water weight, not to mention control of her bowels.

I totally foodstagrammed it but I don't know how to share pics on mobile.

Sweet jesus, no.

Fiber? I think.

Man, oh man. You're in for a treat. If you can squeeze the cals in, smush some hash brown in that baby and wash it down with a good coffee stout if you can find one. And I guess, I dunno, arugula? *shrug* *edit* I like my egg fried but not all the way through so I get a little thick yolk action happening. Where we're…

*stars this*

I'm partial to fried egg.

She sure has not. However, I just had some crisps....and I didn't share.

All the best falls feel like they take ages.

I don't understand this thread anymore.

I work at a hospital so we have a cafeteria, and I don't pack lunch. We have a pretty basic salad bar and I just add on whatever protein they have going on that day, so long as it isn't fried or covered in oil or something.

Turkey burger is a weekly staple for me. Had one the other day with a "fried" egg and portabella mushrooms, spinach and feta with a One Bun (ozery bakery) and it was definitely no cheat night. I get a little more creative with my cheat meals. :)

I used to, but not anymore. 150lbs lost, and happier.

Yeah. I bought the peanut butter cup flavor. It's a lie.

The week before my last half I tapered my runs and sort of just slightly increased my carbs. The day before, I had a nice tuna burger with lots of french fries and a good pint, and I felt just fine the next morning.

Um, potatoes?

When I want a little sweetness in my tomato sauce I thinly grate carrots and sweat those out with the onion and celery (basic mire poix) until everything is an unidentifiable mush and THEN I do the tomato part, which can be hours sometimes, but totally worth it. I rarely use sugar.

This sounds fantastic! Gives me ideas!

I broke at one point on a trip. otherwise I've been smoke free for over a year. The urges only come up at this point when I'm out and have one too many drinks, which isn't something that happens often these days. It took a while to get there, though.
