Two different brands. Laughing Cow/Skinny Cow.

Snapeas. Delicious, but same calories as chips.

I make a big batch of steel cut oats for the week.

Side question here. I had a hysterectomy several months ago, but kept one ovary. I don't have periods anymore but still feel the cycles - mostly the one time of the month when I just want to eat constantly. Is it because of the hormonal cycle still happening with the one ovary? Sort of a period without the period?

Not exactly a parallel argument there, is it? Why are you picking a fight?

This is what I do. I scoop out that day's portion, add a splash of almond milk and heat them in the microwave for 2 minutes (starring after one).

Maybe you should thank your body for helping guide you back to better options.

Wow, interesting read!

Thanks for this thread. I love seafood of all types, but have never really cooked it at home. Now my ex-father-in-law has brought me a crazy amount of frozen salmon fillets from a fishing trip to Alaska, so I need to do something with them. Some good ideas here.

With tuition do you get access to a fitness center?

For me, it worked out great. I got a better plan for less money, same carrier. But the thing is, it doesn't work for her at all if she doesn't sign up for it.

Great job!

It scored very low on this recent ranking. An excerpt: Many of our experts found the popular low-carb Atkins diet leaves much to be desired, at least as an all-purpose diet. Although our expert panel concluded that it could outperform nearly all of its competitors in short-term weight loss, unfavorable marks in other…

That's good!

I am on Citalopram. I am losing weight. It is definitely possible.

Curious - did you go off the depression meds by yourself or suddenly, or did your doctor step you down gradually?

I really wonder if there is some body dysmorphia going on, or misreading things that are said/not said ny other people. From her own "I hate myself" to the reaction when someone told her she was wearing the wrong dress, something doesn't add up.

I use the old one instead of the new one. I found the new one to really inaccurate in its guesses when it tried to match my food.

I don't drink much rooibos, although I do have some Lemon Chiffon and Lime Chiffon from Della Terra on hand. Oh! If you haven't tried green rooibos and want to, the Golden Honey Dew from Lupicia is great. I would be happy to mail samples of all three to you to try.

That's a great idea. I saw a quote the other day where the poster said, "I didnt lose 225 lbs. I lost one pound 225 times."

Is there any chance that you are too thin and your family doesn't want to seem to be encouraging the weight loss?

I am a mod on Steepster and have about 200 different loose leaf teas in my house. I drink tea because I like it, not because of any real or perceived health benefits. I do think those of you who drink a lot of Teavana are missing out, since there are so many better and more affordable options out there.

Sometimes I think people ask this question because they think they have to eat "diet food". The key is to have a main dish that you both like and vary the sides. Last night I made BBQ pork chops - the same recipe we have always used. My daughter wanted mac and cheese so I made that but didn't eat any myself. My sides were…

Sounds like you need to poop

I have heard of people putting an egg on top of their oatmeal. I haven't tried it. I'm assuming it's a fried egg?

I find steel cut oats much more satisfying than rolled.

My body cleanses itself every day at about 9 am.

First post!

You can't really draw a conclusion off of one day's experience.

I looked at the group, but can't see anywhere what exactly it is. 100 days of what? Exercise? Staying on plan?
