Still feeling self conscious but... From this To this I don't think I'll get much lower... damn hips!

Do you eat your dyed eggs?
Dumb question, but I see people say that you shouldn't eat them... Why not? I mean I don't leave them out for hours, they'll be boiled, put in the fridge, dyed, then put back in the fridge. I ate them 2 years ago and it was fine (some were blue, but still good, lol). I'm already planning on making a lot of egg/avocado…

All this peeing is ruining my life
Man! I can't even go for an hour walk without having to pee in the middle of it. Going to the movie is stressful because I often have to pee so badly by the time it's over, and that's with going before it starts too.... Going hiking means hiding behind a tree and hoping nobody will see... How do you deal with it? I don't…

Waiting 20 minutes after eating to see if you're full...
It really works. How come it took me so long to figure it out? :sad: :embarassed:

What I learned from my cheat day
Today is my birthday and I decided to eat whatever I wanted, give in to some of my cravings without for once having to worry about getting hungry later. Probably a dumb idea, but I think I actually learned a lot... First thing I've learned... it's 3pm, I'm stuffed, and I don't think I'll be able to eat anything more…

So I started running... questions
Yesterday I went out for a walk and decided to give running a shot, and I ended up running the whole 3 miles (it took 35 minutes, so it's not fantastic by any means, but still... first run in 18 years). I'm surprisingly not that sore today, but my lungs still feel it... Is that normal? Also, how often do you run? And what…

Out of calories, hungry, what do you eat?
Just wondering, for future reference on those days (which may or may not be later tonight) - what's the lowest calorie, most filling food you eat when it happens to you?
-
Do you feel fuller faster after losing weight?
Really curious about this... I see people who now feel full after much less food than they used to. It's not the case for me. It takes a LOT of food for me to feel 'full' (but yes, I've learned that waiting 20 minutes before eating more definitely makes a difference). But again, I've never eaten huge quantities of food at…

What's your latest craving?
I'm over brownies now, all I'm craving is Nifty Fifties cheese fries (does anyone know that restaurant? I'm glad the closest is 45 minutes away, let's say). And maybe their Texas Tummy. Unfortunately (fortunately) they don't give calories on their website.

Sweet potato fries?
So that's what's for dinner, but all my attempts so far at making homemade fries have ended up in not crispy fries. Any tip on how to make them crispy? And what to season them with? We're having steak and salad with them (with gorgonzola).

Terrified of regaining but so hungry
Is anyone else in this situation? I'm not starving myself by any means, my TDEE is between 1950 and 2100 depending on the calculator I use (for exercising 6 times a week... I typically walk 3 miles a day and lift some weight 3x a week but I sit a lot otherwise), and my goal is 1700... but I keep going over (and sometimes…

I'm sabotaging my overweight husband
I wonder if I'm alone in this boat... My husband is obese, and isn't trying to lose weight. He was already overweight when we met, but he has gained more weight since (it's been 12 years). I worry for his health, he's quite a bit older than me, but I know there's nothing I can do about it until he decides to change. But…

How do you log when you eat from roasted whole chicken?
Ok dumb question. But we're having roasted chicken tonight. The calories are 250 for 4oz... but that includes, I'm guessing, skin and a mix of dark and white meat. I'm not eating the skin, and will probably mostly eat white meat... Should I just use 'chicken breast cooked' and 'chicken dark meat cooked' entries and weigh…

Self sabotage
Ok so apparently I still can't use moderation when I make baked goods. How do you all do it?

Taco Bell breakfast
Worth the calories? Filling?

Jello sugar free cups?
I've been eyeing those... 60 calories for a chocolate pudding seems pretty tempting. How do they taste? And those 'sensation' mousses? I should probably add that I don't like the aftertaste of the Dannon light and fit yogurts, so I'm skeptical, is it too good to be true?
-
Bored with food... high protein/low carb meal ideas?
So after 14 months of this, I'm reaching the point where I just don't feel like eating anything (well, except dessert, doh). I need meal ideas badly. I have a bunch of chicken breasts still, but no matter how I cook them, it just doesn't taste as good as when I make them on the foreman grill... but I'm SO BORED with it. I…

What's with all the potato stuff?
What's up with this today? Is that some kind of April's fools or something? All I see is thread about potatoes, lol!

Food to sneak in a movie theater?
I'm going to be there for 9 hours tomorrow. My plan is to have a huge lunch, then bring some snacks with me that I can eat between the movies. So far I have protein bar and beef jerky... Any idea? It needs to fit in my purse (we're not supposed to bring food)... and I'll be there from 2pm to 11pm probably.

Feeling ravenous... hormones?
So once a month I'm just ravenous. .. like not satisfied and need to eat something NOW. 1000 calories later... finally satiated. Is it hormones? Blood sugar thing? My cycle is messed up and it's twice this month. No I'm not pregnant...

Belly fat or loose skin? (gross pics)
I can't believe I'm posting these but heck... I've pretty much made my peace with the fact that I'll never wear a bikini... but I just don't know if I'm wasting my time trying to lose more fat in my belly or not (I still have some I want to lose on my hips anyway, but still). Anyone been there, done that, can tell me from…

What to do with ground beef?
I bought too much. We were going to make tacos but we used some leftover ground chicken instead. I made a cheeseburger casserole today (so delicious), but I'd like more ideas... short of chili, burgers and shepherd's pie, I'm a bit clueless. Must be easy too... I'm not such a great cook.

Canoli French toast with strawberries - 450 cal 21g protein
This is now my favorite breakfast. I had some at a restaurant a month ago and was thinking of recreating it, and well, I was successful, and it's honestly pretty filling for 450 calories! 2 slices of sweet bread (guessing Challah would work, I used some Pepperidge Farm Swirl French toast, cinnamon would work too) 1 egg 50g…

Any lasagna recipe?
I'm looking for a 'light' lasagna recipe... I know I could just pick one and change everything to low fat, but I'd rather try and see if someone has a recipe they really like first. MUST HAVE MEAT. And real noodles. And ricotta cheese (but I'll use fat free probably). I want lasagna, not some pseudo-lasagna. Thanks in…
