THE answers to THE questions
OK, this will be long. Please read it if you are confused. Disclaimer: I am not a dietician or a doctor, just a successful loser and maintainer, who has consulted both doctors and dieticians. Question #1: Should I eat all my calories? Yes. MFP is already figuring a deficit for you to lose weight. This deficit is based on…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo week of March 14
Morning, pebbs Much to accomplish work-wise this week. Working to deadline on a fieldwork grant, getting my committee to hopefully sign off on my proposal to get this done. My one committee member's foot-dragging may have cost me some money. Ugh. Anyways, goal is to send the final(?) draft off to committee by day's end…

how to fail at losing weight...
I posted this on my blog last week, and several people have asked me to re-post it on the forums...so at the risk of shameless self blog promotion, here goes: This post is maybe going to sound judge-y, but I assure you, it's all from a place of love. I see so many posts and just think "Oh, man...that's not going to last…

Protein Recovery Shake Popsicles!
This might not be rocket science, but I've started to use popsicle molds to make post workout shake popsicles, and I am in heaven this hot, hot summer. Essentially, the rule is, if you can drink it, you can freeze it, and after your workout you can feel like the ice cream man came! Any of your favorite protein shake…

SPF 2: Reboot Boogaloo Week of April 5
Morning pebbs, So, I've turned into a farmer. For the past week or two, I've been waking up at or before 5 a.m. and going to bed at or before 10. It was spontaneous and weird. I seem to be getting a lot more done, as the house and city are super quiet, and I have an easier time focusing. Also, I've lost weight since I last…

SBF2 Reboot boogaloo...wk of March 29
Morning, pebbs...welcome to a new week (and in four days a new month). Today's big goals: Make a trip to Ikea (I love Ikea, because I am a nerd and have a Swedish heritage. I love tidy things.) to finish up my workspace re-vamp. A trip to the gym, probably to ride one of the interactive spin bikes and stretch something.…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo, week of March 22nd
Wow, March is going fast, huh? Today I have a session with my trainer scheduled (my first in over a month) we're just going to work out for half an hour, as we're trying boxing. Then, later today I want to go walk on the treadmill in my new "gorilla feet shoes" (this is my husband's term for them). Other than that, it's…

Attention MFP smarty-pants: help me!
SBS, Banks, and other smart folks. . .I need your help! OK, so I'm an oldster around here and like to think that I have it all figured out. But, for the past six months, I've developed a severe quandary/plateau. Here's the deal: I'm trying to maintain my current size (although a teeny bit smaller wouldn't piss me off) and…

Five minute whole wheat pizza crust

Eat some for me! 1 package yeast 1 cup very warm (but not hot) water 2.5 cups flour (whole wheat works great) 2 tbs olive oil 1 tsp salt optional:…

SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 22
Hi pebbles, Mopey today. I'm bigger (although I don't feel fatter) in my legs officially and think I need new jeans. It's the peril of muscle mass and really being dedicated to yoga. It's very, very hard to not think bigger=failure. I hate jeans shopping as much as bathing suit shopping (due to the fact that my waist is…
