When do the comments stop?
Right, so I've been in maintenance for well over a year now. Yet every time I go back home to visit family and friends (moved away for university purposes), it seems like I'm still getting subjected to a barrage of comments about my size. And they're not particularly pleasant to hear either - my shoulders are too bony, I…

Spiced Oatmeal Sugar Cookies :D
Well, what they're really called is 'ANZAC Biscuits' but I figured a title change was in order for non-Aussie MFPers who may now know what they are. And what they are is very delicious indeed :bigsmile: Tis a family-favourite recipe that I grew up on, so hope those of you who try it out enjoy. I've left the ingredients in…

How do you organise your recipes?!
Hey guys, looking for a little help here. My recipes (a jumble of ones saved to my computer, photographed by my phone, or discovered on Pinterest) have for the most part been divided into "Main Meals", "Sweet Treats", and "Savoury Snacks". And now I have an absurd number under each category and no idea how to re-organise.…

Worst restaurant experience?
I was just watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares the other day and was...a little disturbed :noway: Personally, I don't go out for meals that often so I can't really recall any too awful experiences myself. Although it is annoying that my family only ever goes to the same Chinese place where the food is...ok, I…

Wisdom Teeth Recovery
So...I'm having mine out in a few hours. The two lower ones are impacted under the gums and the remaining upper one is erupted. I've been waiting AGES for this appointment, and this is basically the only time I can have them out in the forseeable future. I've already had one of my wisdoms removed (upper, erupted) rather…

What recipes have YOU stolen? [please share!]
So, I went back to visit mother dear a couple weeks back...and raided the kitchen. Okay, yes in that way (she'd made chicken cacciatore and it was AMAZING so I took a good bit home), but I also went through her recipes. See, I'd been craving some of my momma's cooking and wanted to re-create it at home. I've made her ham,…

I've discovered I like _____
In my case it was: * Yogurt: Just never paid much attention to it before. Now I absolutely love me some Greek yogurt, and am heartbroken there are no fro-yo places nearby. * Oatmeal: Looked like glue and could never finish a bowl. Skip ahead five+ years and it's breakfast nearly every morning. * Quinoa: Can't recall ever…

Spaghetti Squash Ideas?
So, as I live in Australia (and in the middle of nowhere to boot), I can't get always get access to certain types of food. But the other day when I rocked up to Harris Farm, I discovered they were selling the elusive spaghetti squash I'm always hearing about here and on recipe websites. I bought one of the smallish ones to…

For those of you who do crossfit...
Would you mind sharing your experiences? Why you joined/how you got into it, what you like/dislike about it...anything really. I've just started my fundamentals classes, so if there's any advice you MFP-ers have to offer a newbie I'd really appreciate it. At the moment I'm at work so can't reply to things straight away,…

Resting Heart Rate
What's yours? Has it changed since you adopted a healthier lifestyle? At the beginning of my weight loss journey, I was around 64bpm. In July, it was 53bpm. And today, I made a machine freak out at 39bpm. Never thought I'd ever have a doctor call me 'athletic', but it's amazing how things have changed. How about you guys?

-30lbs [w/ pics]
Hello everyone :smile: A lot's happened in the last nine months. I've finished high school, moved out of home, dyed my hair blue, started university, learned how to snowboard, and so much more. But despite all the things that have happened and changed in my life, weight loss was something I was determined to achieve. I…
