My ARMageddon water bottle and my New York Muscle Radio shaker bottles. The only two things I like at my desk!

Well, that may be so, but I like your sign in the background!

OCT 17 - PICTURE THIS: NUTRITION!! LET'S SEE THE HEALTHY CHOICES YOU'RE MAKING TODAY!
I'll post mine around lunchtime!

If you're thinking about joining in, please do and share with your friends! ...or else it's going to just be a page full of selfies of myself.

It may just be me and you but I'm already in too deep to stop now. Heres a pic of what I want to eat for dinner

Johns-Dope... This group is supposed to be motivating for people!! You're lucky there's no one else on here yet. :P I'm looking at it as a an opportunity to face temptation and be strong & resist.

For the most part, I'm doing high fats & proteins, low carb. So, here's my picture. My fingers are quite a bit bigger than when I used to do this as a kid.

I'm IN.
Please excuse any technical difficulties, I have used MFP for years but never ventured into actually commenting on anything. (Insecurity, etc.. )

I'm at a point where I desperately need some support to stay focused on positivity and out of my own head. I love this thread and how it is focusing on what's GOOD rather than cutting out what's BAD.

Today's first healthy choice:
Greek yogurt deliciousness (2%) with peach, coconut and cacao nibs.

Lol- I'm a flexible dieter so I can have like 1 piece of the pizza! Here's a pic of my turkey burger for lunch 35g of protein

linelijen

purplefizzy...Yes! You don't know excited I am to see another person join. (No offense Johns_Dope..you stuck with me and now we have a friend!) :P I know for me when I've thought of getting fit it's always been a negative thought thinking I'd have to sacrifice a lot but honestly I haven't much except in the way of quantity and trying to keep at least a mostly healthy diet. And if that little bit of sacrifice means i feel better and better every day and I'm losing weight...cool, I can do that. With this group I just thought taking pictures is a fun way to stay motivated and meet some people...awesome picture by the way! That looks AMAZING!

Johns-Dope...AF is it? I don't know...can't see it right now. :P Thank you for playing right..your turkey burger looks absolutely horrible. Way to get that protein in though!

Johns_Dope_AF

lol they always look terrible like that! I will prepare for tomorrow so I have a decent pic to post!

OCT 17 - PICTURE THIS: WEAR A SMILE WEDNESDAY!! LET'S SEE IT!!

Look at this quote I found...
“Smiling stimulates our brain’s reward mechanisms in a way that even chocolate, a well-regarded pleasure-inducer, cannot match.”

Even chocolate cannot match!

junodog1 that looks so good! I'm going to have to start making my food look prettier! Last night I cooked pork loin with jalapeno cream cheese stuffing but when I cut it today it was a little pink so I was too scared to eat it! So sad. I had a very simple salad and cottage cheese so needless to say, I'm looking forward to eating tonight!

It took me a few re-reads to figure out WTF that turkey burger was
I do heart the stats on some turkey, but I hide mine in 'double turkey veggie chili' served over roasted kabocha squash.
Now I have to actually wash the sweat from my face so I can post a grin. Be back!

purplefizzy

Read once that it takes like a gazillion more muscle engagements to frown than it does to smile.
So:

Also, @linelijen those are some bad-*kitten* glasses.
Fabulous on you.
