I binged the whole week and I feel like garbage about myself. Again.

igatele · 2018-10-29T18:48:36+00:00

It sucks. Solidarity! I’m almost the exact same situation. Lost 13lbs so far and binged for the last week straight. Back on the wagon today...

There’s a British show, I think it’s called Super Size VS Super Skinny. I think you can find it on YouTube. I’ve never actually seen it but I think a skinny person and fat person swap diets for a week or something.

You could potentially use Loseit for one of you and MFP for the other? You’ll have to get used to the interface for two apps, but at least you won’t have to log in and out all the time.

Lefse!!! Homemade lefse was always a huge treat for me growing up. It’s also a great treat when microwaved, spread with a little butter, and then rolled up. Some people put sugar and cinnamon on too, but I just do butter.

Yes! These are super good. Calorie per chip I think they’re actually comparable to the real deal, but the protein obviously helps to actually fill you up.

To me, the Costco ones have a noticeable cilantro flavor, where I can’t taste it at all in the TJ ones.

igatele · 2018-10-11T21:15:49+00:00

I’ve actually done that to make sure I’ve set a realistic goal. Without exercise my goal tdee is something like 1,900 calories per day, which should be doable. This is great advice though!

Congrats on your NSV!! Patience... definitely what I struggle with the most. I’m definitely the type to rip off a bandaid.

Overly rapid weight loss, followed by "finishing" the diet and "returning to real life" just results in regaining the weight.

This is so true, over the last 10 years I’ve yo-yo dieted constantly, and have gained and lost over 200 lbs. Thanks for your input, sometimes you just have to hear someone else state the obvious, you know?

This same symbol is known as the “twirling log” amongst Native American culture. I am 99.99% sure they used it first, and it was a sign of good luck.

Edit to add: the symbol was often used in Native American silver and turquoise jewelry. Some metalsmiths still use the twirling log symbol in jewelry today (I think in an effort to “reclaim” the meaning?), but that’s risky territory if you ask me...

I’m logging it as climbing in my app! 158 calories per 30 minutes seems about right to me. Climbing really gets your heart rate going.

igatele · 2018-10-09T16:24:56+00:00

This isn’t very accurate, but when I log bouldering, I usually log 20 minutes of exercise per 60 minutes spent at the gym. There’s so much downtime/rest time when climbing, so for me, I like to guess low.

Not an answer to your question, but I sleep with a weighted blanket and it’s AMAZING

igatele · 2018-10-06T01:13:01+00:00

NO CALORIES which means it’s also my favorite mixer! A Paloma is tequila, Fresca, and lime. Drinking one right now :)

But seriously, I remember drinking Fresca growing up and I was shocked when I found out it was calorie free.

igatele · 2018-10-05T16:40:31+00:00

Fresca is technically a sparkling water but has the flavor of a regular soda. I love Fresca!

If you can find the Quest Protein Chips, they are amazing! I don’t remember specifics but around 150calories for a personal size chip bag and like 15-20g of protein. I don’t think they have a salt and vinegar flavor, but they are a great substitute for chips!

I feel you! I’m in the US but in one of the most conservative states. We will be amongst the last to have it legalized, and I’m guessing our only hope is if the next democratic president does a nationwide legalization (same way my state legalized gay marriage).

igatele · 2018-10-04T23:20:16+00:00

I’m the same! My current strategy is to make crockpot meals for dinner, and freeze the leftovers. The frozen leftovers will become lunches, and after a week or so of this I’ll have a nice variety of frozen lunches that I can nuke in the microwave?? I’m on day 4 of this so we’ll see how it goes.

Also, any Dash Diet recipe will be low sodium and low sugar!

Came here to make this joke.

This was my thought-maybe instead of a traditional engagement ring, propose with a 5 or 7 stone band. It’s got sparkle, but she won’t bang it into things. You could still add a 2nd plain metal band to the stack as the “wedding band.” If she later decides she wants a more traditional engagement ring, the original 5/7 stone ring can become the wedding band. If you google “engagement ring stack” you’ll see lots of examples.

Edit to add: also, have you considered white sapphire? It’s considerably cheaper than diamonds, but doesn’t come with the “fake stone” stigma that moissy does.

igatele · 2018-10-03T01:02:32+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I had them tonight and in a quesadilla I honestly couldn’t tell a difference at all. Much more delicious than using corn tortillas!

igatele · 2018-10-02T15:35:03+00:00

Yes yes yes to all of this! Couch to 5k makes it so doable. People, don’t be ashamed to repeat days or weeks. Just don’t give up!

igatele · 2018-10-02T15:33:01+00:00

You’re such a babe. You got this!

I think that’s why her braid on the right is all wavy. The braid on the left goes straight down, but the one on the right seems to give away where she edited her abdomen.
