As you're being told in other comments, watch your inches instead of weight right now. The same lbs of muscle will be smaller than that amount of fat. Weight loss comes with calorie deficit, so it's easy to think that if you eat less than the 1200 recommended it will help you lose that much faster, but you need to get over…

While they're both made of coconut, they're two different things... That'd be like using peanut oil instead of peanut butter... Lol I grew up thinking of it as a hair oil as well, but honestly, once you get over that it's awesome

SacreBLEU... how dare you! And yea, we don't do clamato and beer. We do make ceasars, which are bloody mary's made awesome.

bump?

hmmm... you had me, up until the pain... :-/

That's a great idea for people who dislike the taste... and for those of us who don't mind now that summers here!

Just a note on this- refined is full of "bad fats" (think like white bread- processed to the point where all the good stuff is gone) while the unrefined is the one with the "healthy fats".... so you want to stay away from refined and go for unrefined. That being said tho, not all unrefined ones leave a coconut flavour... I…

That sounds awesome! I wonder if ground oats would work in place of the whole wheat flour... hmm....

that sounds great!

I haven't found that cutting back on carbs has helped my weight loss any, but I did learn that I have a slight gluten intolerance so cutting back on wheats and some grains has helped me feel better overall (which helps me stay on track). Just don't check this past week, lol.

both also awesome ideas!!

I wouldn't call that a rant! Thanks for sharing, glad to hear he's getting out of the cold and improving himself in the process... hopefully he's able to afford food as well!

THIS sounds more my speed. Cool whip and peanut butter??? yum!!

Not a meringue person myself, but will try next time the in laws want to try being healthy. That may not happen for a long while, but all the same.

butterfish (white tuna) is amazing... just melts in your mouth and has such a creamy taste... mmmmm.... Oh, and sweet potato rolls are delicious!

Bump to read later :) good topic, was also using endomondo but the GPS started going crazy on me

A mistake is just a mistake- it doesn't mean you're done and should give up. Get back up on that horse! Make sure you get your nutrients and water in - makes a big difference in cravings and "feeling full"

I was including peanut butter in that mix... pb&cheese does not sound too appealing... lol pb and almonds do, and pretty sure I had an amazing cheese and walnut chicken dish once... mmm... I need to look that up..

This is honestly the first time I'm hearing of oil pulling, and I have a question for you: Other than the benefits of swallowing some of the coconut oil, what health benefits are you seeing from oil pulling? From the OP it seems mostly dental/oral, but are you seeing other benefits as well (as suggested in the article…

And cheese. And almonds. And walnuts. Maybe not all together though.

I think that's normal, but you're going to the doc anyway- they'd be the best person to ask. Bring it up during your appointment. Better safe than sorry! ETA: Great job on quitting smoking and improving your health :)

Great job!! Hmm this has me reconsidering starting 30DS again...

bump to save

Great story/advice... it's too bad she's deactivated so won't see it :( But at least it's motivating for the rest of us :)

lol!

great topic! bump to read later

bump to save that link... when considering following the restrictions MFP gives, I hope you've realized that you get to eat the exercise cals back? Maybe that will help you with feeling sluggish? Also, when yous start eating more veggies/home made (with a healthy eye) foods, you'll realize you get to eat more than if…

I listen to Basement Jaxx, OK Go, Icona Pop, All American Rejects, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Pharrell Williams, Beyonce, Woodkid, Muse... and I'm always looking for more :) Anything that makes me feel strong, lol :)

Sometimes weight loss happens in weird ways. When I first started I found that I would lose 2lbs one week, then none for a few and then 2-3 the next.... the loss was consistently inconsistent, lol, but still happening. Just not the way I thought it would. I don't follow those numbers as matter of fact, but they're…

Everyone has their opinions, whether well informed or not. Just remember- you're trying to lose weight to make your life better in some way. Pretty sure allowing it to ruin your relationship with your mom won't make your life better ;) I'm sure your mom mentioned the roasted veggies to try to have something there for you-…
