Should I be worried that I have 666 calories left for the day? Am I about to be eternally damned?0

Do you have room for another? Maybe he is,meant for you....
I messaged the lady saying if she couldn't find an owner I might be interested in her. We'll see, there were lots of other people saying they would want her, but I do have experience with the breed so that may weigh in my favour. I'm not sure how my current dog or my roommate (my brother) would feel about it though...
I meant to comment on this and got distracted. YES get that puppy! He was meant for you! It was fate!0 -

She did it and will return with me. The older women (3 of them) seemed to be taking a semi-private training session as the younger man moved among them gently giving them directions and telling them what exercise to do. It was great to see and they looked pretty fit!
That's great! And what a fun way to train those older ladies have found. I think I might have been intimidated by a personal.trainer when I first started. (Like I said, I went to spot for hubby and git bored.)
Nice! The ladies did seem to be having fun.
Just imagine all of us in a big weight room. We would be having a ball!
I would love that so much!
I sometimes imagine some of the lifters here are with me when I'm doing my thing. Actually, the words of encouragement that I mentally attribute to you guys are often what gets me through my last set of squats.
You know it sounds so weird but I do the same thing when I'm working out haha we are all working out together in my head!
I am going to try this!0 -
Hi All, I have a major confession to make. I am a stalker! I have been following this thread since day one and reading ALL the comments daily. I even make references to this thread to my boyfriend on a semi regular basis - he has pretty much forced me to post here as he says it's pretty creepy I read but don't engage! ( my apologies for the creepy-ness but I am annoyingly socially awkward)
Anyway, I wanted to post to say thank you to all of you for entertaining me and making me laugh - and sometimes cry - daily. Also for motivating me. Due to the many discussions on beginning weight workouts etc in recent weeks I have been moved to restart this myself. Weights 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks - let's just hope I can keep it up.
To sum up - thanks everyone for being a positive force in my life recently even though you didn't know it ( I'd insert a smiley face here but don't know how!) I shall crawl back under my rock now.....
Please don't crawl under the rock again. Stay out and play.0 -
Yeesh. I have no idea what I'd do if I saw someone in this situation. I'd be afraid of approaching them about it because I'd imagine they'd think I were confronting them BECAUSE they were heavier, but there's no way I'd want anyone to continue this, especially with the drivers in Houston.kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »pofoster21 wrote: »For some of my friends who have started running or are interested in running but are afraid to because they think they are too heavy, you should check out this woman:

I seen a heavier girl jogging last night while I was driving home from work & thought "you go girl." I hope she looks up safety while running, because I noticed she was running with the traffic behind her rather than the other way around.

I always want to stop people and ask them if they want to die when they are running with traffic...because they are asking to be killed.

I confess that this post made me confess something before I ended up in your situation.
I just bookmarked this post earlier this morning and I've already come back to read comments. There is a lot of funny stuff in here!
Welcome! You stay and play too. We do try to have fun.

Banana Update: I had a banana milkshake (with real chunks of banana in it) for lunch today. I blame this thread...I'd have probably had peanut butter if it weren't for the banana talk yesterday.
shooting update: Raymond (the victim) is still hospitalized and had another surgery yesterday. He isn't out of the woods, but we hope he's more than halfway through them. Shooter *may* be a jealous ex of his wife, which would be awful for her if it turns out to be true. However, that could just be gossip among people looking for an explanation for senseless evil. Newsflash: There is no explanation. There is just real evil on the world.

That's quite an accomplishment. I
this thread dearly, and I haven't been able to keep up daily.
Good job taking up weights, you'll love the results. I found that it quickly became a habit, then an essential part of my routine... now I MISS lifting when I can't do it (like when travelling).
Yup yup yup! I'm away next week. I have a feeling I'm going to be picking up sofas and stuff. Deadlift a small person or a dog...
My husband bench pressed my 9 year old the other day. Son 3 thought he could tickle dad and run. Not. So. Much. (9 year old is almost 5 feet tall and weighs right at 100 ponds)
ETA: Pounds, not ponds. Can't type today0 -
I was away from MFP for a few weeks but I'm back now. I want to join the "Batcave" group but can't find the link and don't remember what it's called. Can someone post the link? Thanks a bunch!0

I confess that I skip all of the political posts on Facebook and most of the news stories, not because I don't want to be an informed person, because I really do, but because I can't stand all of the negativity (on both/all sides). I wish that there was a way to get the honest facts about topics so that I could create an informed opinion. Instead, it's like panning for gold in a feedlot.
Journalism quit being fact gathering long ago. Now it is all who gets the information out first regardless of factual correctness as well as sensationalism. Most reporting has gone the way of Star magazine in terms of stories.
So there's still good reporting out there - you just have to find it. Investigative reporting has definitely taken a hit with the newsroom "restructuring" that has taken place due to changing ownership regulations and the move to online-first posting. But it's still there.
Fun fact: journalism has been about who gets it out first since the 1850s - that's nothing new. The Associated Press (a big wire service - so an organization that provides news to all outlets both local and national) was created to try to combat a very wealthy publisher (James Bennett) who was smoking everyone in terms of getting news out first. So basically everyone else banded together to try to be able to compete with the speed of Bennett (which was due to the use of carrier pigeons and sending quicker boats out to meet slow boats who were arriving with news).

I have a question...anyone can answer it, but I'm definitely focusing it towards those who lift...are you finding you're having to eat more? I am hungry all the time now! I'm eating more and not gaining weight which is good, but I feel like I'm scared to eat too much after trying to lose weight. I don't really want to lose any more weight, and I know I need to eat enough to support my lifting goals. Anyone want to share their weight, height, calorie intake, and exercise level??
Unless anyone thinks this will hijack the thread...if so, I can ask the question in the bat cave!0 -

Yes, I would most definitely eat something.
Done! Sadly it was M&Ms because I didn't post my daily goals today so there was no restriction. Why do I eat these? I don't even really like them... They are just THERE!0 -

If you're eating more and not gaining weight then it sounds like you are doing it correctly! I can't remember if I felt like I needed more food - I've only been doing SL since this summer, but did circuty things for a few years before that.
5'5", ~135, 2100-2300, and moderately active (~12k steps a day, lifting 2-3 times a week, running a couple times (not lately though), some yoga)0 -

I'm not the best person to answer this since one of my BP meds has the (unusual) side effect of completely killing my appetite/hunger, so I'm not the best barometer of hunger. Hopefully someone else will chime in.0 -

Congrats on the weight loss so far.
A few questions:
1. Do you have a medical condition to eat low carb?
2. Why do you want to reach 160 pounds in 3 months?
My advice is if you don't have a medical condition to eat low carb then don't do it. Most people who eat low carb think they're losing weight since they're limiting their carbs when in reality they're eating less overall than they're burning thus creating a deficit to lose weight. Most once they're down to their desired weight go right back to the way they were eating before & gain weight from eating over their deficit. I always try & tell people to eat in a way that will be sustainable for life. Do you see yourself always limiting carbs once you reach your desired weight?
Why are you only eating 1,500 calories a day? Do you weigh your food on a food scale? If not then you could be eating way more than you think. Since you're a 34 year old male I am sure you would need a lot more than 1,500 calories a day. You should look up Scooby's accurate calorie calculator & input your numbers in there & see what it tells you to eat.
Why do you have to reach 160 pounds in 3 months? Event coming up?
Some people do better on low carb...like myself. I feel better, I sleep better...I think everyone is different.
Ditto. I haven't had pasta, rice or a sandwich in 7-8 weeks and I really don't care. I allow myself some potato every now and then. Some people adapt to low carb quite well, and I do think I could do this for the rest of my life. I miss fruit the most, but once I reach my goal weight I can lift it up to 100-150g carbs a day and easily squeeze in fruit
I say don't knock it til you try it.
Edit, I'm a bit behind on this thread so apologies
I think I'd miss fruit the most too. I'm happy it's working out so well for you!!
I get sad when I go food shopping and have to walk past all the bright coloured fruit and just head for the veg. Courgette (zucchini I believe in America?) is my new best friend.
Do you like spaghetti squash? Every now & then I will make that & put a little salad dressing on it or chicken.
I've never heard of this! I've seen spaghetti courgette but not squash. Is it pre-spaghettied or do you have to do it yourself?
It is a squash that when cooked, comes out of the cut half like spaghetti strands. It is a good replacement for actual spaghetti noodles. I use it quite a bit. The texture is more like al dente spaghetti, a bit crunchy but it works. Google it or if you have Pinterest, look it up.
Its disgusting Don't do it.
It's deeeeelicious. Do it.0 -

That seems low if you are wanting to recomp not lose, but I do know that everyone is different so maybe that is your real maintenance number. But...I mean, I don't really "cardio" - my 12K steps is mostly because I walk to work and walk the dog. Then I sit at a computer all day, and if I'm good make sure I use the bathroom and water fountain on different floors. Given you have a dog as your profile I assume you also get some movement in a typical day.0 -

I tried it once. I thought it was gross.
I love it! And it's so easy...I just poke a million holes in it, pop it in the microwave for 5-6 minutes depending on it;s size, cut it open, and scrape it. All I usually put on it is salt, pepper, garlic powder and maybe a bit of parmesan cheese..but not usually. So good!
Also welcome, @CosmoTI! Don't go back to your rock!! Stay!!!
Try this recipe: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/2014/08/tex-mex-baked-spaghetti-squash/?utm_source=MFP&utm_medium=Facebook
It's seriously amazing. I made it twice for my husband and I, and we LOVED it. I wish I could make it more often, but the spaghetti squash here is imported from the United States and you don't even want to KNOW how much those babies cost... Let's just say that our meal cost about as much as a meal at a nice restaurant! 0 -

Yes, I do...although he is super old and not so active. I say 1600-1700 because that's during the week...on the weekends, I tend to not track and I know I go WAY over that amount, with wine and dinners on weekends. So, I bet on a weekly basis, my calorie intake is much higher than 1600-1700. I'm not gaining any weight even when I eat a ridiculous amount on the weekends. So it may be ok to increase some...0 -

I think Nicci and I are the same person. I agree. It is disgusting. DON'T DO IT. I am going to judge here, I think the only people who like it are people who eat it because they think its healthy. Like people fool themselves into believing zucchini is good for them and tasty. Its an illusion. You are all nuts.
I never eat things just because they're healthy--I'm way too picky for that. I enjoy zucchini and I LOVE spaghetti squash. SO THERE. 0 -

shooting update: Raymond (the victim) is still hospitalized and had another surgery yesterday. He isn't out of the woods, but we hope he's more than halfway through them. Shooter *may* be a jealous ex of his wife, which would be awful for her if it turns out to be true. However, that could just be gossip among people looking for an explanation for senseless evil. Newsflash: There is no explanation. There is just real evil on the world.
So true. I read an article yesterday that sickened and disturbed me so horrifyingly that I still can't get it out of my mind. I thought about sharing it here, but changed my mind because I didn't want to put anyone else through what I felt after reading it. It was the sickest thing I had ever read in my life--and with the news stories I've seen, believe me, that's pretty darn sick.0 -

Yes, I would most definitely eat something.
Done! Sadly it was M&Ms because I didn't post my daily goals today so there was no restriction. Why do I eat these? I don't even really like them... They are just THERE!
See my above post to you? I'm telepathic. 0 -

I tried the Candy Corn M&Ms & while they were pretty tasty they were way too sweet.0
