in Chit-Chat
So its Saturday night, and in the past I probably would have been well into a bottle of wine and eating a Dominos while watching TOWIE,tonight I did not eat Dominos.

How have your weekends changed since you started this MFP stuff?

    I would be ordering a large Papa John's pizza plus one of their 8" cookies and eating more than half of all of it.

    Food wise pretty much same as the OP - less junk but still the occasional drink. Activity wise no comparison at all! Saturday mornings I usually do the local Park Run, Sunday I do a long run (usually 10-12miles) for example, tomorrow I have Half Marathon. Before I signed up here I was out of breathe walking up a flight of stairs!

    Whoa good luck with the half, I just started the couch to 5k thing today - I would love to be able to do a running event at some point in the future.

    I probably shouldn't have started this taco, pizza, COOKIES!? I'm just about ready for a 2nd dinner.

    Stuffing my fat face with cheddar cheese fries smothered in ranch. (Versus what I'll be doing tonight, which is stuffing my lean face with Pop Tarts and Thrifty ice cream.) :laugh:

    I'd me resolved to my fate as an out-of-shape 30-something guy. I'd weigh 215, have high cholesterol, and probably have a heart attack in the next decade.

    Well, I was always working weekends. So after work (1am-ish) I'd probably be racing to the bar with coworkers, have like 15 almost free shots, eat a crap ton of wings, JD sampler (i love you TGI Fridays) to myself, and a guinness milkshake...

    o_o...That was all the time if i was going out. If I wasn't going out me and coworkers would be clearing out 7-11 of all its snacks, drinking liquor from the bottle at home and ordering several gyro pizzas.

    Probably eating pizza way too often (like almost every Fri or Sat), drinking more alcohol, and wondering why working out wasn't enough to make me skinny!

    Video games.

    Oh wait, I do that now. I usually exercise at work during my breaks, so that my weekends and evenings are free to be lazy.

    interesting question. i think my life would have been drastically different. i started playing sports young so fitness has always been a part of my life. i think having been involved in sports also helped me avoid many of the body image issues i might have had otherwise in my teens. i mean i never dieted to lose weight until 2 years ago so i've avoided a lot of the yo yo diet, i must be x pounds, why do my thighs touch, etc.

    I would be eating a taco.

    About to eat two right now :,)

    To the OP:

    I'd still be playing Pokemon on my 3DS :)

    Judging from that right arm you still do, you just do it one handed. :P

    I would do nothing different than what I do now, other than likely nap for about an hour and half longer per day than I do.

    Probably the same thing as now. Watching TV and fooling around with my computer. But no pizza because I'm not allowed to eat tomatoes anymore due to silent reflux.

    i would be feeling sorry for myself while being jealous of the skinny girls as I sat stuffing my face with a bag of Oreos (double stuffed), a Pint of Ben & Jerry's and a bag of potato chips (the big bag). all while looking forward to the chocolate bar in my purse that i would dip in a jar of peanut butter. needless to say I would be heavier than when I actually chose to find health and fitness 75 pounds ago.

    Probably doing school work. I've been so incredibly dedicated to it over the years that I put everything else on the back burner, including health. But screw that noise.
