My low GI snack
So I bought these bananas and they weren't really ripening and I needed something for a snack today. I thought "Well I've eaten green bananas before... I'm not a fan... but they are supposed to digest faster or something so like maybe I'll get a weight loss benefit. Why not?" Let's just say that I had no idea that bananas…

NSV... but why was it so uncomfortable?
Have you ever had someone who hasn't seen you in awhile just fawn all over your weight loss? Flattery is awesome, but sometimes people are so stunned that they really make me uncomfortable when they go on and on. I'm not sure if I know how to take compliments. It's always nice to get positive feedback about anything you…

Update me on the Walking Dead
So I haven't had cable in over 10 years, but I picked up this weekend. My sister introduced me to the Walking Dead's first season on DVD. I watched some of the marathon of the second season on AMC, but I missed the last half. As such, I was lost on a few things when I watched the premier for the new season. Without…

I bit the bullet!
I signed up for Match.com. This is the first time I have ever done something like this. I just really want to have a social life again. LOL!

Marketing Manipulation
So I've seen it many times... Companies make health claims about their products. Consumer laws are designed to prevent false advertising, BUT as long as the statement is based on truth, the claim is not false. Unfortunately, marketers use this to spin their products image and suggest something about the product that might…

My Happy Single Life
So... I have been single for almost two years. I've pal'd around with my ex :wink: but I have refused to re-commit. I've been on two dates... both equally bad. And I flirt on the internet, but nothing ever pans out. Anyway... I am beginning to think that I am happy this way. Even though I have been single before, I have…

Intermittent Fasting/Calorie Cycling and Water Retention
General question here. I am usually pretty consistent with my calories. I eat around 2000 calories a day. That is 300 calories below my TDEE. I'm pretty comfortable there, but thanks to some biological reasons, I retain water twice a month and see some dramatic jumps on the scale. I'm trying to find some way to combat…

Why?
I never used to have a problem attracting men. Even when I was heavier, men would still hit on me. But it seems like lately, particularly since I've lost weight, men don't seem to be attracted to me anymore. They might look, but inevitably, have no interest whatsoever. What happened? I'm actually a much happier and more…

Children w/bipolar disorder... meds?
I know it is not very common for children to present with bipolar, but I think it could be a possiblity for my child. Her father has it, and sometimes her behavior can become a bit uncontrollable. I have had her in therapy with a psychologist for 5 years now, but even though she sometimes has a good streak, inevitably, she…

Master Chef
Does anybody else watch this show? Last night's mystery box ingredient was uni (sea urchin). I think I would have made an uni and spinach quiche with a mild pepper garnish. I've never had it myself, but now I'm dying to try it. What would you have made with the uni?

When would you call...
So this guy I went to high school with sent me a friend request a couple of weeks ago. He is single. We sent a couple of messages back and forth. He works like three jobs, and I thought for a minute there that he was interested, but he never replied to my last message. I had all but forgotten about him until last night.…

Fats?!?
Okay. So I never paid much attention to this particular macro before. I knew there were good fats and bad fats, but I really didn't pay too much attention to which ones ended up in my body. Most of the time I am way under in fat. I recently read NROFLW. I have yet to start the lifting part of the program because I want to…

Chicken in the Crockpot
I've got six breast in the crockpot as we speak and no idea what to do with them. They will be falling apart by the time I get home so this will obviously have to be some type of shredded chicken recipe. Any suggestions?

Isn't it funny?
How people will say that they are looking for one thing, but when it is standing right in front of them, they don't see it. Why do people to do that? This question isn't exclusive to men or women. I've seen both do it. Just curious what everyone's thoughts were on this.

Love those Lyrics!
This is self-explanatory. Guess the title of the song and name of the band for the lyric. Then, post a lyric for the next person. "This is the last time I'll abandon you, this is the last time I'll forget you. I wish I could!"

Do you feel cheated?
This question is mainly for the divorcees. Marriage is supposed to be a binding contract in life. Not only a legal one, but a spiritual one. But when things go wrong and disappointment is all you have left... do you feel like you were somehow cosmically cheated? I mean, when you see couples that have been making it work…
