My guess would be either Rose Tyler's mum or someone along that timeline gave her the number. That's just a guess though. And I adore Clara. SO glad to have her. We got tired of the "Amy Pond and Rory" show. The opening credits are better, but not as good as they were in previous seasons.

1) Stop beating yourself up. Most of us have "off" days every now and then. The trick is to learn from them and learn how to keep them in check. Most of us are here because of what we've made "bad days" a habit over the course of weeks and months. One bad day isn't going to un-do everything. It's the series of "one days"…

I've made those recently. If you're expecting pizza crust, I personally didn't find it to taste like the real thing. It tasted like, well, like a fritatta to me. It was good, but not as crispy as pizza crust. A less eggier omelet, in my opinion. I use two products: Chebe and (GF) Bisquick. The Chebe makes a thinner, drier…

Since you threw in the part about freezing, yeah, burrito bowl or lettuce wraps are going to be miserable to reheat. What about throwing in some of the trendier sources of protein, like chia seeds or TVP? I imagine they might freeze well and would be less disgusting incorporate than say, vanilla whey powder. If you can…

I have the Polar FT4 with the chest strap and noticed that with the higher intensity workouts, that yeah, I can get 10 cals a minute easily. Sometimes, I'll even get more of a burn in. (I have 188 cals in a 17 min workout.) I say if you want to test it, perhaps consider doing a lower intensity workout and see if it does…

As someone who's been gluten-free for 15 or so years, I LOVE this time of year because of all of the non-wheat options. Nom nom nom! Thanks for posting this, as it's great to see all of the low-carb responses that your post elicited!

Some people have different reactions to the Mirena based on their own hormonal chemistry. Might also be worth researching if other health concerns (diabetes or not having had children if they apply) affect one's success with IUDs. I had a miserable time with the Mirena, but I've never had kids. I had it removed after just…

I can totally see the difference in your face, your arm, and your tummy area for starters. Great work! You're doing an amazing job!! :)

1) Anyone in the military (or prior service) will tell you that they're not eating hotdogs and grapefruit... 2) Folks in the military usually eat more than what's defined in the diet and they exercise.

300 calories for the day PLUS exercise = Probably not all that healthy...

When they make a product that's not made of wheat gluten and doesn't make me ill, I'll consider it. If they had a non-GMO option that was wheat-free, that'd be cool too. No painful wheat burgers for me, thanks.

If you need more inspiration, I just saw this on the boards... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/897136-i-ve-lost-228-pounds-lost-in-12-months :) And someone else reminded me of Ed Davenport's AMAZING AMAZING transformation... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/626293-3-yr-anniversary-307-lbs-lost-picture-heavy…

You've been making such awesome progress, even if you don't see it. From the posts that I've seen, you're on the right track. Don't stress so much about where you're at. Focus on where you want to be. Unless the BMI was calculated with calipers or some other official tool (that's been calibrated and certified) in a…

I gave up counting for Lent but when I do count my cals, yes. Fruit counts. Every little piece of fruit counts.

As far as their pricing, I disagree with the other poster who said save your money. Not everyone has better alternatives and TJ's often beats the prices for similar items at my local grocery store. Rice pasta - Their rice pasta is cheaper than the Tinkyada brand at the health food store. Yellow Thai Sauce - I add it to…

If I'm not mistaken, part of the difficulty stems from the muscles that are used. When you're running on a treadmill, the "road" is moving for you. When you're running outside, you need to propel yourself forward, since the road shouldn't be moving on its own. Our glutes, hammies, and quads have to work differently in…

Depends on whose clock I'm on. If I'm on my own time, I can easily do 2 hours. If I'm on my DH's clock, I have to scale it back to an hour workout tops.

Vegetarian cheese means that the rennet that's used is plant based, not animal based. Rennet is a required ingredient for making hard, usually aged cheeses. If you explore the cheese aisle and read the ingredients, some will say "sheep rennet" and the like. Others will say "microbial" something-or other, which means…

As I understand it, the incline changes which muscles are being targeted and the resistance affects how much those muscles need to work. Based on my own experience with the elliptical, it also seems that when the incline is low, all the leg muscle groups are engaged, then only certain ones are used as the incline…

You'll have more success with the cayenne-maple syrup - lemon juice fast. I lost 30 lbs in 10 minutes. (Heh. Dog kibble and cat food are in the tracker.)

Youtube - I searched for "chair exercises" and these are some of the ones that came up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AuLqYh4irI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mCoU3_UsJ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5KIVRas9UM&playnext=1&list=PL0025C0F2B4C50FA4&feature=results_main

Congratulations on your 19 lbs loss! You're not "too old" and yeah, it's definitely worth investing in yourself. :) Heck, you have at least two pages of feedback so far mostly from people who don't even know you and who want you to succeed. That is pretty awesome. :) You mentioned possibly having sleep apnea. Even if…

I use a spoon of it in a cup of water to rinse fruit and veggies, especially berries. Inhibits mold and allows berries to stay in the fridge for a few more days until you can use them. I've also used it in salad dressing and have gargled with it. Haven't seen any HUGE benefits though.

I applaud your strength, courage, and determination. Way to go and congrats on kicking butt!!

I JUST DON'T GET IT! <Judgmental rant about complete strangers' behavior regarding their kids, how they dress, what they're eating, what they're buying in line behind/ahead of me, what they're talking about...>

I posted this a minute ago. Why hasn't anyone responded? BUMP

Questions only!!

Pancakes! Pizza! French Fries! Tater Tots! I swear! It tastes JUST LIKE THE REAL THING!! :huh:

If I drink coffee/tea/soda/juice does it count as water?

Amen to that. My husband has amazingly defined legs, amazing glutes and broad shoulders. Dressing him is difficult at best. He doesn't fit in skinny jeans (I'm ok with this) or pants with tapered legs. And if something fits his tummy, it bunches funny on his shoulders, so much so that it pulls the seams if he moves his…
