Oh my perfect! Finally a recipe where I actually have every ingredient in stock... If I don't have pam, and I don't want to use oil, can I still make them? Thank you Phoebe! |

Capital idea Hilary! If anyone can think of interesting/easy recipes to make snacks/meals with what I've got in stock, I'd be more than greatly appreciative. Fridge Contents: Lactose Free Skim Milk, Biobest Plain Yogurt, 1% Cottage Cheese, No Sugar Added Pudding (Vanilla, Dulce de Leche and Rice Pudding), Unsweetened Apple Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, Red Pepper, Baby Carrots, Bananas, Oranges, App les, Egg Whites, Frozen Chicken Breasts, Frozen Berry Mix Pantry: Kashi Go Lean, Large Flake Oats, Fibre One, Alpen, All-Bran Strawberry Medley, Canned Tuna, Canned Soups, Almonds, Kashi Granola Bars, Ground Cinnamon, Balsamic Vinegar, Hot Chocolate, Tea That's about all. I usually keep stock on all of the above at all times... I tend to eat a lot of oatmeal and salad, incorporating various ingredients mentioned above.

I'm fresh out of stock now, but amen Ilisa. The combo was aaalright, but I definitely prefer apples and frozen berries. Or applesauce. Or flavoured yogurt. Or on top of a steaming pile of loaded, cinnamony oatmeal. Damn, I do believe I'm getting hungry. Thanks for the suggestions Chrissy - they all sound delicious... and if you're making it, I'm taking it. :) |

| Calorie Count | did it always say "there's strength in numbers"? | Nov 09 2009 21:33 (UTC) |

I like it. The other day, I was weighing an apple in my kitchen, and it suddenly came to me that the tagline could be "You can (calorie) count on us" or something to that effect. But the strength in numbers one is legit! |

Shrimp, Forrest. A'cause I'm led to believe there are many possibilities. Nah, I'd go for the salad. Or cottage cheese-based spin-offs. |

Silent Hill Dawn of the Dead The Shining The Exorcist The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Hills Have Eyes The Sixth Sense Anything with a hill or the word "the" in the title followed by a definite noun would seem suffice. Enjoy! |

A friend of mine went through the whole film with a bunch of my other girlfriends and I the other night, and with every scene she went through in detail, I realized I wasn't going to be able to sleep that night. And that's from just hearing about it. But maybe that's just me. If you're interested in something similar to the film, there is a book called House of Leaves that works off a similar concept and is damn entertaining. |

I think you could be on to something... but I usually average 60-80g of sugar daily? Is it mainly glucose based? Because most of my snacks involve aspartame (no-sugar added pudding, unsweetened applesauce, diet coke, no fat astro vanilla yogurt) Thanks for your input! |

I consider myself generously hip-endowed, so I always keep an eye out for jeans promoting STRETCH fits. That way I can still fit into an initial 2, but after a few wears, the top band loosens and no more snugness around my hips. And it really depends on where it is you're jean shopping. I recommend American Eagle jeans, they're dependably stretchy. |

I'm an avid Sims player and the Sims 3 HANDS DOWN is the best version.
I have plenty to say, but the main point is there is a reason why it's the Sims 3, not the Sims -3. They weren't exactly working backwards in the pursuit of producing newer, better games, |

Anything loud and repetitive by Queens of the Stone Age or Rage Against the Machine.
And I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash when I'm on the treadmill. Lame, but it pushes me to keep going. :) |

| Health & Support | Low Blood Pressure/Sugar and Fainting? Anyone? | Jan 14 2009 04:55 (UTC) |

I'm generally very queasy when it comes to blood and extreme gore. My brother-in-law has maybe told me one too many stories that I've had to keel over and hold my head between my hands because of impending nausea attack. Although, I've never fainted from mere conversation. Around this time last year, I received the first of three fiest gardasil shots, and it should be noted that as a child I was always "cool" when it came to getting needles. My doctor asked me to look away, but as I felt it go in, I started thinking about her tearing my muscle. After she was done, all I remember was asking "Is it bad if I'm feeling dizzy?" and her yelling "Lie back! Lie back!". Well, next thing I must have slouched over the bench and fallen to the floor. I woke to her saying "Are you with me?". I had no idea what had gone on, but she sent me to order a sub from the nearest Subway. I've always been a big breakfast eater, so I'm fairly certain my daily intake wasn't affecting my blood sugar - I just had a psychological blimp where my blood didn't get to my heart fast enough... or something to that effect. Anyways, I know how you feel, and I woke up from my faint spell feeling completely refreshed. And the sub was delicious. Good night and feel better :) |

Just a quick update: I hit a little over 1,500 cals today, first time I've done that in a while. I also left my cave and killed 300 of those calories playing water polo for a first time... my arms are either on fire or slowly decaying. Water sports = ouch. Especially when most of your physical activity comes from rare trips to the common room. Hope all's well with everyone, Happy counting! |

I actually love what I eat. When I was little, whenever I would cry, my mom would always give me some variety of fruit or vegetables to shut me up. We can always crack jokes that she made me an emotional eater.. but really, she did. I agree with you on the high sodium intake that comes with eating so much soup, but it's so damn cold here that I find it most comforting. Most else of what I eat contains minimal amounts of sodium so I guess it compensates; I could be wrong. There isn't much more spontaneity offered in the cafeteria. I put whatever I can into my salads, such as deli turkey slices, corn, chickpeas, etc. And as for the flabby "slimness", I agree with you on that one sister. I may be small, but I've got no visible toneness. My body simply doesn't look nice. So I may not need to lose weight, I just need to get up off my butt and start working out, which I'm dreading. I have 5 and 10 lb weights in my room, but there isn't much space for mobility. And I have floor push up bars and a leg toner that have been sitting in my closet since December break. I guess I'll get on that. My real question after all that: should I really up my intake? |

Thank you again for both of your replies. Gi-Jane, I visited the link you provided and entered my stats, because truthfully what you said shocked me: "A 64-inch, 116 pound 19 year old girl has a BMI of 20.0.... This suggests that this girl is at a healthy weight. A healthy weight range for this particular girl would be from about 110-152 pounds." So, in a sense, if I were to drop more then 6 pounds, I would then infact be dangerously slim. So if my calorie intake is currently incredibly unhealthy, what do you suggest? Should I add tablespoons of peanut butter to my diet? I just don't want to blow up all of a sudden because I'm changing my intake. How can I slowly adjust to a benefiting, health-consciously higher meal plan without packing on the pounds? All the foods I eat, which are regularily in large amounts, are nutritional and highly recommended. No word of a lie, I'm usually the last person to leave the cafeteria because I've gone to get seconds. My peers even acknowledge the fact that I have a hearty appetite. I'm trying to double back on myself and what I'm writing to see if I sound unreasonable, or commiting myself to some form of extreme self-deprivation, but it just doesn't communicate that way to me. I wouldn't say I starve myself and I certainly wouldn't say I'm on the verge of disorder (I understand that denial is the first step ;) ), I'd just like to lose the excess flab that's gathered around my bum, waist and hips without the thought of endangering myself. |
