Mental Performance at Work and Weight Loss
I've noticed that anytime I lower intake to even reasonably below my TDEE I have a significant decline in mental functioning. Processing and I/O seem to be significantly slower, and I'm distracted by a preoccupation with food and minor hunger. Does anyone here work in a intellectually engaging field(bonus points if it…

It's a picturesque paved approx. 1 mile loop in the Mueller development, next to the Thinkery kids museum- I just discovered it recently and urge you guys to check it out if you get a chance.

Microwave-only meals? Microwave tips?
Hello guys and gals, I'm living with only a microwave(and mini-fridge/freezer) for the summer and it's been rough. Namely, all the food I generally love to cook(pan-seared chicken breast or fish, stir frys, hard boiled eggs) are all no-go's with the microwave only. Before you ask, no I can't have a hot-plate or slowcooker,…

Favorite short/"Easy-ish" Hikes in Greater Seattle Area?
Just moved here for the summer and the physical beauty of the area is just staggering. As I am very out of shape, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on easier/shorter hikes so I can explore nature on my free weekends. Bonus points: * Fairly isolated trails/areas * dog friendly trails(I have one very small dog) *…

Road Trip Food- what are your healthy go-to's?
Planning an epic trip from Seattle to Austin, TX departing just a few days from now. Of course, fast food on the road is a constant temptation. Last time I packed a few wraps but they were inedibley soggy by day three(this is a 4-day journey). What are your reasonably healthy go-to foods for bringing on a road trip?

Drinking While Eating: Yes or No?
So I've seen two opposing thought on consuming liquid(water, for instance) during meals and wondered about your experience and where you guys weigh in on the matter. I've seen these two comments time and again: 1) Sip on water constantly while eating. This will help you fill up during the meal. 2) Don't drink while eating…

losing and Gaining Back: What's different this time?
A few years back, I lost over 100 pounds in a year, only to gain it back again slowly over the course of about two years. Why? * I made a terrible personal decision which ultimately made me slip into depression and 'giving up' entirely on myself * a new comfortable relationship with someone who constantly ate 'forbidden'…

Nature Preserves/ Natural Parks
Hello Everyone! I am new here, and am loving this beautiful city so far. I love the forests and topography of this area, and I would love suggestions on what natural parks/nature preserves you enjoy. These can be with or without trails, with rough trails preferred. It would also contain a paved trail, but not have any…

'All or Nothing' Eating
I have noticed this is a reoccurring theme in posts, something that causes a great deal of frustration for others and for myself as well. That is, that if you aren't on your perfect/ideal eating plan(for that day or week or, hell, month) that all progress you've made is lost so 'screw it no point in trying now.' This…
