I have not done this, and would never, unless I developed a medical problem that required it. Yes, I think it would be hard to stick with, especially since you wrote that you usually eat one or the other for dinner every day. I'd think you should be able to just have less of them, cutting back to your calorie goal, and be…

Personally, sleeping together would be a priority for me. Not to mention, I would not enjoy being woken up at 3 am when he gets back. I have a daytime life that I have to be awake for, and I'd consider it rude of him to do it regularly if he didn't have to be out for work. Anyone will do things to piss you off or drive you…

Even if your face looks a bit older, a strong, fit body looks younger. Maybe you'll be pleased with the balance.

While it doesn't matter for weight loss (barring certain medical conditions), you certainly aren't meeting your nutrient levels with the diet you've been recording. That will adversely affect your health over time. I'd also say that eating so few calories that you're concerned about a little milk... Well, you might wish to…

Hello! I'm American, but I once spent the summer in Germany. :) I'm also a vegetarian. You can add me if you like. :)

Sorry you feel that way. I almost never let people take pictures of me. ESPECIALLY since everyone seems to think it's just fine to put everything on facebook these days. I've asked people to untag me on facebook, because I prefer not to have my picture floating around the interwebz and have NO pics of myself on my own…

Yep.

Sorry, what are we talking about?

Those pictures are spectacular. I just keep thinking... "It's Little Lord Fauntleroy!" Not attractive to me, but that just means more for you. :)

Meat. I like some of it, but don't eat any of it. Melon. Turnips.

I laughed so hard my dogs are staring at me. Wow

Well, I see you edited your initial insulting crap. I would tell you to give being a decent human being a shot, but I don't think you'd know how.

Hi OP. You may add me if you like. :)

I think you just have to experiment. Depending on what your "breakfast shake" is, it could be a lot of sugar and not much protein, which won't keep you full. I will go against what a few other people said, and tell you that I have found I stay full longer when I have a protein shake in place of a food breakfast. I'm…

Do you want to be married? Or are you just worried about it because you're 33? I'm sure you know, that's a bad reason to get married. Try not to wander around reeking of desperation. That isn't exactly attractive. (PS - I didn't mean you ARE desperate, just meant to avoid that.) Ah, what do I know. I'm 38 and have never…

Do you have a job that would allow you to get up and walk around for a few minutes every hour? That would get you up and moving, and, in addition to your lunch walk and stair running, could add up by the end of the day. You can also stand up and stretch frequently.

Though it may be easier where you are than elsewhere, no, change is never easy. Especially when you're talking about changing the entire way your whole family eats. We've all seen just here on MFP how hard it is - there are daily struggles with eating the right things! You're asking people with even fewer resources to do…

(No, I don't think everyone here is in the US, but that's what I'm going to talk about, because it's where I live, and what I know. ) You're brushing over the fact that many truly impoverished people have little access to transportation, either. If it's difficult to get to the store, then keeping on replenishing fresh food…

Yes, it did happen. She was not, obviously, eating a human. However, since I work in an animal hospital, I thought it was apt.

Well... I'm a vegetarian. Once my coworker saw me eating mushrooms and said "eeew, you're eating fungus", and I replied, "well, I just watched you eat a corpse, so what do you care?". Not my finest hour, but she stopped talking about my food.

I'm not sure how you're going over your sodium while eating whole unprocessed foods, as long as you're making them without salt. But having said that, unless you have a medical reason to watch sugar & sodium, I think you're better off not worrying about that, especially the sugar. MFP's setting is ridiculously low. I also…

I dunno... Sounds a little fishy. Ask him what's up. But honestly, his availability may not get any better, if it's his work schedule that's the problem. So if you hate it now, maybe it's a bad idea. :)

Sometimes there are no words...

I don't think that having something "nice" to say is always helpful. Sometimes a helpful response is dissenting, because it's not really offering support to tell someone it's ok to continue starving, overtraining, or otherwise keeping up harmful behavior. Reading posts on a forum is not as good as face to face dialogue,…

Are you talking about the muscle or the joint being sore? There's a lot going on in that general region, anatomically speaking, so it's probably a muscle fatigue thing, but if your actual joint is sore, that might not be good. Then again, it might be ok. Hard to say. Don't do the same lifts for a few days and see if it's…

I love this one. I'm currently enjoying a sampler pack from Kona Brewing Co. Yum yum. I don't know very much about beer, but I like it.

It could be ketosis, but phantom smells and tastes can be symptoms of other things too. If it's persisted for 2 weeks, you need to schedule a dr's visit, just to make sure. Good luck. :)

Nope, those are carbs. Best part of dinner. :D

Hmm... I'm a vegetarian. Does that mean that every time someone asks me to share a chicken sandwich or offers me some jello that they're really sabotaging me?! Good Lord, the world is out to get me, and I never even knew!!! Sorry. *ahem* I guess I don't understand having to have tactics or play games. You could do what I…
