I work at a call centre for a Canadian bank and I feel like stabbing my eyes out every day. Needless to say....looking for something new.

THIS!! A little sugar is good for you. The more natural, the better.

Represent! :bigsmile:

Oh wow, you just described the last year or so of my life, awkward clinic visit and all. Only I can't quite forget him since I have to see the douche every day at work (lesson learned, I know). At first I did want to try to be friends because I missed that aspect. After awhile it because clear to me he just didn't care…

Probably bawl. Then make sure I'm not dreaming. Then get a boudoir photo shoot done, make my ex eat his heart out. And buy me some new clothes! Though hookers and blow DOES sound pretty good, too :laugh:

They're not as bad as everyone says. I stumbled across a multi-variety box at Costco that came with Sunchips, Baked Cheetos and Smartfood White Cheddar popcorn. Great deal! No matter how clean I eat, I'll get a craving for something salty and these are perfect for that. 100 calories out of my day is nothing, and it's…

You guys are lucky, we don't get Fage here in Canada. Wish we did, it's delicious! :( I'm not a fan of the Oikos, I found it to be a bit sour. The one I buy is Liberte Greek yogurt, regular fat. Sounds horrible but a lil bit of fat is good and it's so creamy and goes perfect with honey and maybe some almonds. Good…

Wow, that's scary! It's started going away but if it comes back again it might be time for a trip to the doc to make sure. I'm glad you're ok!

Hehe. How could I not?

Wow, so many great replies! Thanks, everyone! I'll definitely give those tips a go and hope for the best! It would be so nice to be cramp-free, I also get them at night if I stretch in my sleep. :grumble:

That's so simple yet so genius! Still getting your calories without feeling gross *and* sticking to healthier foods instead of processed stuff. I love these threads, I'm learning so much!

Nothin' like some hot, juicy meat in your mouth. Ehehe :bigsmile:

Forever alone :(

I remember feeling like that my first day back at the gym....for about all of 5 minutes. Then I just focused on learning to do my circuit training properly. I was too busy trying to remember to keep breathing to worry about what others think. Now that I've got a better handle on it, I just crank up my tunes and get to work…

BAHAHAH! YES!!!

Come on now. Lighthouse cleaning is quite a difficult task, thank you very much!

.... you consider murdering a co-worker who offers you a box of donuts you have to turn down. Who's with me?? Anyone??

Once a month! Any more than that and I'll become obsessed and disappoint myself. LOL. :tongue: Works for me, so far so good

If the thought of just whites wierds you out, try the whites that have a bit of yolk mixed in (comes in a carton). Not that bad calorie-wise, and they do taste more like whole eggs. I like putting Greek or Italian spice in mine and adding tomatoes, mushrooms or onions if I have the time. I pair my eggs up with a slice of…

My first Zumba class. So uncoordinated, and all grace went out the window. :tongue: Lots of fun, though.

Meh, I'm not entirely unfortunate-looking and like many people, there's things about me I wish I could change (like my big Greek nose, lol). Then again, you are your own worst critic. When I was younger I had hideous self-confidence and body issues (too shy to even wear a short sleeve t-shirt). Thankfully I've grown up and…

Yup, I definitely give myself a cheat day. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, either. I eat healthy Mon-Sat, then Sunday it's go time! Un-skinny Starbucks? Sure! (Don't forget the whip!) Burger and fries? Yes please! Chocolate is my lover on Sundays. If I don't give myself a day off, I'm more prone to cheating…

There's a world of difference between offering helpful, encouraging advice/comments and being a total asshat who thinks they know everything. Get over yourselves and if you can't say anything positive, don't say anything at all. Trolls belong on 4Chan, not MFP.

I love Kaley Cuoco from Big Bang Theory! She's super hot, and not sickly-thin. I hope to eventually get even somewhat close to this! :blushing:

Ooooh, good topic :) My faves are: 2 tablespoons of hummus (plain or garlic) with 6 Melba toasts. 1 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1 or 2 tablespoons honey. 1 of those 90 calorie Kraft Cheddar snacks and 5 Breton crackers (Reduced Fat and Salt kind)

This! Totally bang-on! And since it's for your wedding, you have extra motivation to stick to working out. Good luck!

Depends on if I slept in or not. LOL. When I'm in a hurry: 2 Eggo wheat waffles with 1 tablespoon of light peanut butter and 1 cup Bolthouse Farms Strawberry/Banana smoothie. Gets me going and when I get to work I'll snack on healthy food I keep in my desk to ward off bad cravings. When I have time: 1 cup egg whites with…

I say, eat it the way the Greeks do...with some honey! But the plain kind, not flavored with fruit or the like. Toss in some almonds or walnuts for extra yumminess. I just wish we'd get Fage up here in Canada. So good!

Pants are for suckers :P

Let's see how well you'd do if you were thrown into a position of international fame and fortune before you've had the chance to fully grow up (including the intense pressure of looking perfect 24/7). Chances are, you'd have a meltdown too. This workout looks intense and I can see it yielding results. If you're not too…
