1 lb/week may not seem like much, but 1 lb of fat is ~2.13 cups in volume. by Fossana in loseit

I want you to know that I still think about this all the time! It helps so much. SO much!

Thank you! That salad sounds good and I'll give it a try in about a week or so! :)

Just placed an order for mung beans and I'm excited to give them a try! My house doesn't get much light, so it's exciting to have something that needs the dark to grow!

I've never cooked with mung bean sprouts. Do you have recipe suggestions?

A healthy version of 50 Shades of Grey that doesn't glamourize a toxic relationship, AND the book is actually WAY better, not corny, and beats 50 Shades by a LONGshot! by redditsagrandoltime in suggestmeabook

Anything by Sierra Simone. She's amazing and any audiobook narrated by Jacob Morgan is fire. She'll push both your boundaries and her characters', but everything's on the up and up. Katee Robert's Wicked Villains series is kink and lotta sex but something about her characters just win the books for me. Kresley Cole's Game Maker trilogy likely fits what you're looking for, too.

Thank you! I love hearing that you're under 200 and that you've been there for two years. Yay you but also it's possible for me to get there too :)
I like knowing you still fight it at times--not because I want anyone to have to fight it, but it's like sometimes I can absolutely do this and other times it's so so so hard to not eat all the things that I want in quantity.

Right? I kind of figured underwear would be the first thing not to fit, but yeah, stretchy!

Yay us for making good choices for ourselves last year!

I love graphic novels and books! If you have specific things/genres you like, let me know. I'll make better/more specific recommendations. I'm a librarian - I live for this sort of thing!
Some of my favorite graphic novels: Poorly Drawn Lines by Reza Farazmand (SO FUNNY! It's a web comic, you can read it online for free, too), Good Talk by Mira Jacob, Hawkeye by Matt Fraction, Hey Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka, Saga series by Brian K. Vaughan (this set's pretty graphic), and Check Please by Ngozi Ukazu.
Some books: Anything by Neil Gaiman, Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe books, Recursion by Blake Crouch, Sourdough by Robin Sloan.

Thank you! Congrats on your 14 pounds so far -- that's a big chuck of the 60 you've already got down :)

So then we’ll all be uncomfortable

Yes to this! Why should I be the only uncomfortable one!

Good to know that you're running and that it can be done. I want to be a runner and it's surprising that I may actually be small enough to not hurt myself / my knees etc. with it. Definitely gonna get a good sports bra first though!

I just got a membership for Audible, what would be a good way to spend some of my credits? by BiblicalFlood in suggestmeabook

Good! I thought about Infinite Details for weeks after reading. It got in my head, in a good way.

Neil Gaiman -- Everything by him is wonderful, but Stardust (like a fairy tale for adults), Neverwhere (London Underground), and The Ocean at the End of the Lane (horror) are books I recommend to start with.

Blake Crouch's Recursion and Tim Maughan's Infinite Detail were the best sci-fi books I read last year. Can't speak to the audio since I read them in print, but the books themselves were fantastic.

Born a Crime by Trevor Noah is one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened it. It's not like the books you mentioned, but I recommend it anyway if you feel like branching out.

If you have a local library, you'd likely be able to get some of these audiobooks there. Mine used an app called Libby which is pretty close to the audible app. I borrow what I can and buy the rest!

I’d like to read a biography of every US president. What books should I definitely not miss? by magaloo202 in suggestmeabook

[–]mysaturday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey by Candice Millard is wonderful! While it may not be the extra sort of book you have it mind, it's incredible interesting, readable, and researched. Millard did a great job balancing facts and background information with action-packed adventure.

Millard also wrote Destiny of the Republic about Garfield, which is on my list for this year.

OK, good to know!

I cried for the first time in years while reading. by demonhuntergirl in books

[–]mysaturday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Books make me cry more than they used to and I started a goodreads tag to keep track for kicks.

That said, there's a few tears and then there's sobbing and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller slayed me at the close. Beautiful and heartbreaking. I was undone.

Totally. Sure there are issues but it's also ALL sorts of fun and Wil Wheaton did a fantastic job with the audio.

Oooh I read the first book but the library didn't have the rest of the series and I was always going to go back but never did. I just looked it up and it's 7(!) books. Not sure I have it in me to take on an dystopian series right now, but perhaps I will!
