i really needed to read this, thank you. and congratulations on your accomplishments so far! you have the right attitude in place for sure :)

if your settings are set to what mfp recommends as a default, that amount of protein is too low. my opinion and the opinion of most other people here is that you should actually be eating more protein than what mfp recommends. it helps keep you full and is important for your body to use to repair itself after exercise.…

@jerseypump normally i would say yes but your ticker picture redeemed you. i LOVE hans and franz.

i just shaved my legs for the first time in a over a week and my armpits for the first time in probably close to a month. i have given no f's about just about anything since my (first) boyfriend (of 4 years) broke up with me in may.

do some research on protein powders and pick one to add to your smoothie.

negative reinforcement created behavior change by stopping a bad consequence. it's not a 'negative' thing. it can be a confusing concept because of the work negative in the term, but it is not punishment. basically, you create/continue a behavior that keeps a punishment from happening. ie: you lose weight to keep your…

wow, thanks for all the awesome information guys! it looks like basil has basically shot to the top of my list :)

personally, i would just up your activity level to account for the commute and eat that level of calories consistently :)

1) i collect coffee table books. 2) i can pick most small things up with my toes. 3) i have to brush my teeth before i wash my hands before i wash my face so everything gets clean. 4) i only use colgate classic toothpaste. 5) i have 3 cowlicks.

i have seen lots of recommendations for lemon balm, but what do i do with it? and thanks, i'm glad to see what i've thought up so far is pretty comprehensive :)

oh mint would be good. and chamomile too! thanks :)

i'm kind of obsessed with Brianna's dressings. right now i have their french vinaigrette, poppy seed, and cesar in my fridge right now :)

check mine out. the most processed thing in my diary is the fiber one cereal.

you should be eating about that much protein daily anyway.

bamping for great justice!

girl i feel you. i absolutely love to drive, whether it's through the middle of los angeles/hollywood on saturday night when it's busy as f or down pacific coast highway where i can see the beach out my windows. it's been a very long time since gas has been affordable enough for me to pleasure cruise, but taking a drive…

cut your carbs.

try to stay under 100g/day.

most other sites don't assume you're tracking exercise calories and then eating them back. so if you burn a crapload of calories and eat 3500 GROSS cals on the yellow site, and eat 1300 here, plus eating back all your exercise cals, the numbers will probably be closer together. does that make sense?

toy story.

"No medicines or cosmetics other than lipstick, eyebrow pencil and powder may he used without special permission." seriously? there's even a typo in there. and this is from the 'official' site. ha.

joined! thanks for starting this up :)

you just said you know you can't spot "tone" but then you asked for exercises to work a specific area... that doesn't make much sense. you need to work your entire body with challenging exercise. if you want to get thinner, you will need to work your whole body and lose fat from all over. weight lifting with a barbell you…
