Personally trying to cut back on my red meat at the moment, so eating a lot of turkey, fish, and chicken - and when I do eat red meat I try to make it game (I love it, and it's also usually a little leaner!). I'd definitely second the bison choice, or venison! I even learned how to butcher rabbit recently, so I've been…

My assigned amount is about 1,300 - I find it pretty hard to stick to! Even on days I can't make it to the gym I find myself doing some sort of mat work at home, or taking the long way to work, to budget for a few extra calories. I also tend to eat my meals from lightest to largest during the day, with dinner coming after…

The dress with heels is my fav :)

That tends to be how I eat too - one thing you might want to try (although I'm no expert, but from what I've seen around here it may work) is maybe not exercising in any real way (walking or stretching might be fine) until you reach the weight you want to maintain, and then add in weight lifting sorts of exercise at that…

Creamy polenta with braised duck (but any tender/braised meat would be delicious!), roasted carrots and a mixed green salad :)

Hmm - sounds like your weight loss problem is more an issue of under, rather than over eating! Your body probably goes into starvation mode and stores/hoards fats it doesn't need. I'd agree with the others here - if you're not hungry, and eating more quantity food doesn't sound good, then it'll be about the quality (the…

The Jurassic Park Theme song :D Nana na naa naaa!

Congratulations to you!

Not sure how to post images exactly but without a doubt either of these guys - http://www4.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Cinema+Society+Details+Host+Screening+Love+0lMlNDERneUl.jpg So my real-life type! In a dream...http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lclxyl22yG1qc7qvfo1_400.jpg And for pure hotness,…

100% this

Just a few quick ideas - look up storage tips (for example, herbs that get their ends trimmed, and then stored in a little cup with a small amount of water and a ziploc over top last AGES longer than stored any other way!), and try to make meals with components you can easily freeze - soups, lasagnas, meats etc. Good luck!

I actually think that, on the whole, the posts on this site are hugely positive - as with anything (particularly anything on the internet) there will always be room for thoughtlessness and jackassery, but I think the ratio of bad to good on MFP is strongly weighted towards the good :smile:

Killer Ninth XD Terrible! Or if we're talking pets within conscious, non-baby memory...Alice Second (the bane of numbered streets)

10!

Hiking is always a good option! Or "sports" you can do with your family (although obviously some will burn more than others) - ice skating, golf, bowling, rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding, Frisbee, tag, etc. - it's pretty easy once you get outdoors! For the inside, any sort of game that gets you moving (dance dance…

I'm in LOVE with both of these meals right now, both of which are relatively easy, vegan, gluten-free, sugar free, soy-free etc. etc....good for anyone! Vegan Bean Chili (I modify this recipe - http://www.thecomfortofcooking.com/2011/02/hearty-vegetarian-chili-with-polenta.html, by adding chipotle, cilantro, a little lime…

I'm Kate! 5'4", 23 and with about 25 pounds to lose :)

I drink about the same amount of water, and my pee is often very light to clear, but I'd always read that this was a good thing - that your pee SHOULD be most light/clear as a sign of hydration, not over-hydration, and that most people are dehydrated (which is why most of our pee is yellow/dark yellow. But this is just…

I made mine public when I joined - for me, MFP is all about being held accountable; I've tried logging what I eat in my own food journal in the past, and I always stop or it never works out because the only person who will know any better is me! By having an account with this community, friends to support me, and making my…

Anything at all with cheese...pizza, mozzarella sticks, plain old cheese! Also charcuterie type things - pate, dry salami, olives, etc. And good bread!

Awesome! Running is probably the thing that exasperates me the most (I just seem to run out of breath so quickly!!) so I'm looking forward to something like this in my own future : ) Congrats!

Me! I'm 23, 5'4", currently about 145-146ish, and looking to get down to 120-125 (or just whatever I feel good at!). Good luck!

Mmm...so many options! Let's see...today I made this http://mynewroots.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-year-new-breakfast.html, which is gluten free, vegan, and good for you - tons of energy! Plus if you cook up the quinoa and millet ahead of time, takes barely any time at all in the morning. The same blog has a great video on…

Hmm, things that would be good with sauce...I'm not sure on the nutritional details, so you'd have to check, but if it's a gluten thing, you could try alternatives like rice pasta, or quinoa pasta - which might be hard to find, but if you can find some rice/quinoa/garbanzo etc. flour you can make your own pasta right at…

Do you mean dating via/on the internet, or dating THROUGH the internet? As in, do you mean a couple who only communicates online, or a couple who use an online resource (say, OkCupid or eHarmony) to meet? I guess if it's the first, your points apply (although really it's not all that different from what a lot of…

I tend to use extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, or sunflower/peanut oil depending on the use :)

Nice post! I'm using a recipe from the cookbook "Food from Plenty" called Gurnard on Crushed Potatoes...had to sub in local wild striped bass, but it's basically seared fish fillets on smashed red potatoes with lemon, parsley, chopped kalamata olives, and watercress. Probably also going to make some Meyer Lemon Bars,…

Seconding Spruillie03 - or I guess more basically, to be better proportioned! So more on top to balance out my hips/butt, or less on bottom :D

I used to be milk obsessed - in fact, I drank so much that I'm pretty sure I put too much stress on my system, and developed lactose intolerance! It's not so bad, just get an upset stomach if I have too much dairy. So these days, with that and calorie counting, I try to restrict my drinks to water/tea/seltzer, and the…
