You know that semen has not only calories but nutritional value
You wear your heart rate monitor to do everything just for fun. But only log actual exercise.
You donate your "fat" clothes instead of packing them up for a later use.0 -

When you become excited and look forward to trying out the new workout dvd you just bought.
When you don't drink anything but water or green tea because you don't wanna waste your calories.
When you spend more time on mfp than facebook.
When you skip a dinner gathering with friends because you don't want to eat all that greasy junk.0 -
When you buy a packet soup from the vending machine (100 cals) instead of a chocolate bar (300 cals).
When you buy a packet of nuts from the vending machine (300 cals) and eat half of them today and save the other half for tomorrow!
And when you get all teary and speechless at getting a Garmin GSP watch for Christmas.0 -
* you carry crystal light packets in your purse to add to your water when you eat out
This is such a GREAT idea!!0 -
...You choose staying in and exercising over a night out getting hammered.0
-
...when you look at a fastfood place, and it already makes your stomach upset.
...or when your young child knows it that time of day you work out and either A. Goes plays quietly, or B. Jumps around with you (love B, its just sooo cute watching him try to do my workout
) 0 -
When you decide to eat dinner at home instead of eating out.
When you decide to drink more water and less diet coke.
When you decide that exercise and eating right is your first priority.0 -
You know you're serious when...
...you walk up the same hill every day to work and before, you used to walk slowly and be out of breath by the time you reach the top and curse that darned hill - but now you practically run up so you feel that sweet burn in your legs and know you've done a tiny bit of cardio before you even reach the office.
...you can actually cycle up the hills on your route when you used to have to get off and push your bike to the top. And you find yourself seeking out even steeper climbs so you can test yourself.
...you take the home-made cake that is being offered at work, but throw it in the bin when the person isn't looking so you don't hurt their feelings!
...you sneak a look at the person next to you working out at the gym (time/distance/calories burned etc) and start to push yourself and work harder so that you can BEAT THEM!!0 -
when you go to the pictures and dont buy any snacks.
Also finding excuses to drag the kids out for walk during school holidays.
when you notice that the kids are engrossed in the tv and you chuck on a quick exercise dvd.0 -
You train every single day no matter how tired you are at least a little...yeahh and spend lots of time on MFP! but throwing out food? no no no! give it to your friends, colleagues, poor people on streets finally!0
-
.....you shout out how many calories are in each item of food or snack advertised on the tv! My husband thinks I'm obsessed........he's right of course :laugh:0

- Anything more then 'no sugar added' foods become to sweet
- You can discuss workouts and nutrition with your brother in the Army, but you're not enlisted at at all...
- Greek yogurt becomes a staple instead of sour cream
- Soda makes you ill and hell
- People can physically see your efforts.0 -
You approach a random stranger in the locker room to take a picture of your back side for your "progress pics" portfolio. Yes, I did that this week! :laugh:0
-
You run 4 miles to the gym and dont track it
You're constantly trying to find an exercise you're seriously inefficient at
If you get dessert and it doesnt tastecompletely mind-blowingly amazing - you hand tit to a stranger- cause youre not wasting your calories on mediocre cheesecake.
You think of calories as currency and do what you need to do to get more to spend, and decide what is and isnt worth spending them on.
You start getting really quick at multiplication of decimals in your head, thanks to serving size calculations on labels
People calling you an obsessed elitest fitness snob.... doest bother you.
You are constantly trying new foods and you will spend hours in the kitchen trying to recreate something you saw on a food mag cover.
You are so proud of what you eat, you have a whole album on facebook full of pictres of your own food, with flattering lighting and garnishes. Yes... you pretend you are on Top Chef... every time you cook.
If you get back to the gym lockerroom after your workout, and you arent walking like you just got gangbanged, you turn around and do a couple more sets.
Being soaked through with sweat is a serious turn-on.
You take sexy pictures of your own body in the morning and watch all the changes slowly happening.
You know you're awesome.0 -
You approach a random stranger in the locker room to take a picture of your back side for your "progress pics" portfolio. Yes, I did that this week! :laugh:
WORD!
I had a girl ask me to take a pic of her at the gym this morning- she ran up all redfaced and said- please- i have to prove to my boyfriend that i beat him to the gym this morning!

...you throw half a sheet of perfectly delicious cake down the garbage disposal instead of stuffing it in the back of the freezer to be devoured in a moment of weakness
...you develop an odd craving for green tea instead of snickers bars
...you begin to dream about salads instead of George Clooney
...you're more addicted to MFP than you are to Twitter
...you know the difference between a small, medium and large apple
Feel free to add to this list!! Kind of a fun way to add some humor to our weight loss journey!
.... you measure everything you eat to make sure it is exactly one serving.
.... you get a pedomoter/ fitbit/ or other App to find out exactly how many calories that walk just burned.
.... Water becomes the main drink in the house replacing pop and KoolAid0
