my bf says anything romantic in swedish. i used to have to look up translations but i've picked up a lot of swedish from him :) he calls me "min älskade" (my beloved). i speak to him in german and call him "mein Schatz" (my treasure) or "liebchen" (sweetheart)

hahaha yeah Pam managed to make that yellow Wal-Mart sweat suit look cute. And I definitely felt pangs of envy over Eric's sister :P

my calculations came out to about 30 cals

sprouted wheat cinnamon raisin bagel - you can find it in the frozen health food section. has 9g protein. i put almond butter on mine!

and don't forget the easiest way to get raw veggies..... throw them in a smoothie! i like beets and kale with banana and pineapple. i throw kale in all of my smoothies! it's the highest density of nutrients available to you.

there's nothing wrong with adding condiments to your raw veggies! just try for options like lime juice/lemon juice, spices, mustard, and vinegars. here are some recipes i make since i've been on/off raw vegan SALSA FRESCA: raw tomatoes, onions, chilis all diced, lime juice and cilantro. sometimes i add diced mango or…

according to a chart i'm actually at the tail end of the "healthy" BMI range, i'm not sure where you're looking. the only weight i want to lose is the spare tire i have around my stomach. i still have a muffin top with most pants, overhanging in the back, sides, and front.

my next question is....now that i've effectively put myself into a "Starvation mode," what's going to happen when I up my calories?? should i do it gradually?

I'm glad people looked! That way I know they've pinpointed what I'm doing wrong...

Thanks for all the tips... I had been extremely inactive besides walking and sometimes jogging a few times a week. I just started a job where I will be on my feet all day, so I think you're all right...I need to increase calories, and I will add in some more vegetables especially! It's funny, as a vegetarian that should've…

Thanks for quick responses!... LOL i totally forgot my diary is public.

hate and now love: broccoli, spinach, tomatoes still hate: mushrooms, olives loved and now hate: meat (i went veggie), AMERICAN CHEESE kraft singles...gross!

I think it was Kate Moss who said "nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels" lol.... she was TOO skinny, but I do remind myself of that quote when I want to emotionally eat.

WOW what a transformation! Great work!!!

also, i've never seen green coffee beans (unroasted) in the store. i'm not even looking for some quick weight loss solution. i just drink a lot of coffee and wonder if consuming an extract from the UNROASTED BEANS would be any different than drinking a cup of joe.

don't know why everyone who has responded to this has been nothing but condescending. i didn't say it had to "do something" because it's in a starbucks drink. i was curious if anyone had POSITIVE or NEGATIVE results after consuming it.

Okay, well the other reason I ask is because Starbucks has introduced a new line of low-cal beverages with the extract in it. I drink coffee every day anyway and I'm more curious about the results of unroasted vs roasted.

I agree... I hate the show but my mom watches it every day. Normally I ignore all his stupid pills, but this seemed different.. they are UNROASTED coffee beans which contain an acid not present in roasted coffee. And the nutritionist he had on the show said to only take it PURE without any silica, etc. I see no harm in…

i hate when people say "smh" i put nutritional yeast in my oatmeal...

it's true! weighed myself a few days ago, 130 and wanted to cry....weighed myself today, back to 126. phew! i need to remember to never weigh-in during that week!!! you feel terrible enough as it is.

as far as I know, since MFP calculates your desired fat loss initially, (i.e. my goal is 1200 a day, when my body naturally burns more than that by just being alive) it's fine to eat what you burn off exercising

Yes, I went from a D to a C. It's not always about the size....they were bigger before, but now they're more firm, and my boyfriend definitely likes them more ;) my bra fits more comfortably too.

as long as you are within your calorie, fat, sugar and carb guidelines, i see no reason why you shouldn't allow yourself indulgence occasionally. everything within moderation. seriously, you're over there saying we shouldn't even eat BANANAS because it's the FRUIT with the most calories. completely ridiculous. take your…

oh how could I forget Masha from Arkona...

Jennifer Connelly and Olivia Wilde, no doubt. :love:
