    everyone on a weightloss site knows your "real" weight, and damn Im on a weightloss site!!!!
  • YUUUUP-You look up a menu online before going out and decide not to go there.
    ****ROTFL THIS ONE IS MY FAVOITE LMFAO You know that semen has not only calories but nutritional value
    YUUUUP-You wear your heart rate monitor to do everything just for fun. But only log actual exercise.
    NOT YET BUT WILL GET THERE-You donate your "fat" clothes instead of packing them up for a later use.

    ....when you "treat" yourself to fruit (late night)
    ....when you get exctied at the freakin sports store
    ....when your heart rate starts increasing just thinking/getting ready to exercise!
    ....when you automatically measure your food without thinking about it
    ....when you read every single label of every food item you buy
    ....when you open up to complete strangers who share such a simple thing with you on MFP :)

    Your 6 yr old asks what the label on her gold fish says! Then says, not too bad :)

    Its good to know that I am not the only one who look up nutritional value before deciding on a restaurant or know what to order before you get there.
  • .... pass on buying junk food even when it's ridiculously cheap on sale
    .... start seeing sex as exercise just as much as pleasure
    .... force your pastry-chef roommate to start baking only healthy snacks
    .... don't eat cheese

    Oh cheese, how I miss you...

    It was a half-eaten birthday cake for my little twins. I don't think anyone would've wanted a half eaten cake with most of the frosting missing...LOL!!!

    ... you get sick, and all you can think about is that you can't go to the gym!
    ... you spend 20 minutes on the weekend carefully weighing and measuring almonds and prunes for the upcoming weeks snacks.
    ... your philosophy is, "I'd rather count too few calories burned instead of too many." or "I'd rather assume I ate more then guess too low."
    ... you weigh most of your food in grams, search for the food that gives you the grams option, and do the math to figure out how many servings of 85g you ate when you ate 125g.

    Edit: the answer to the last one is 1.47 servings! :wink:

    OMG I love all of these and definately can relate to most of them!

    "you know when you are serious about losing weight when...."

    * working a crazy busy 12 hour shift and you are heading to the gym afterwards for a crazy hard workout
    (my work friends think I'm crazy - which makes me feel pretty darn good)
    ^^ * ^^ repeat times 4 dayshifts
    *instead of dreaming of doing tough exercise challenges - you are actually signing up for them! (ex: 10km Race or "Tour de Jasper" (365 km bike ride through the Rockies)
    * you avoid any events that involve food because you have your daily intake already planned for the day

    [I forgot one!]

    You know you're serious about losing weight when....

    You watch an action flick or play an action-y video game, and the entire time you're thinking to yourself, 'Wow.. I wonder how many calories that guy/girl burns dodging bullets during a shootout' or, 'Man, I bet they burn about 2000 calories from all that hand to hand (or weapon) combat," (geeky)
  • You actually miss hardcore exercising when you're on vacation. :)

    - Ice water sounds delicious, even with Coke and punch in direct line of sight.
    - You turn down free Girl Scout Cookies, or grab them to give to someone else WITHOUT opening.
    - Grapes replace all forms of candy.
    - Fresh & Easy wins over Carl's F*in Jr. (Wow on this one. It's happened, and only the people immediately around me believe it.)
    - You bust your butt working out when you're tired just so you can eat at a Denny's study session. (Guilty in the last 20 minutes!)
    - You can't wait to get home and exercise.
    - Pizza sounds... frankly, awful.

    -when your friends look at the food you ordered at a restaurant and say "wow, you're making me look bad"

    -when your coworkers bring you carrot sticks and dip to work for a snack instead of the chips they normally bring

    -when a friend says "you're my inspiration!"

    one more: You research online what you can order at a restaurant before going to eat

    -You're in a lot of pain, but you go to the gym anyway, to punish your body for being a p*ssy.
    -When you actually weigh what it says you do on your license
    -When you wonder if moshing should be counted as cardio or weight training

    HAHAAAAAAAAAAHHAA !!! Damn, that's funny!

    I know I'm serious when:
    I walk past the Twinkies, Double Chocolate Caramel Cupcakes and White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream and head straight to the Quaker Chewy 90 cal bars. Yay!

    .... decline mediocre cocktails/wine/dessert because you don't want to waste your calories
    .... budget calories for a yummy dessert at your favorite restaurant
    .....walk to your errands so you can burn a few extra calories
    .....dream about tabata workouts
    .....start following fitness/health people on Pinterest
    .....your friends are sick of you talking about boot camp (this is inspired by my friend)
    .....you star in a photoshoot for your boot camps marketing materials (ok, same friend)
    .....you discuss the best yoga classes/studios with your friends at brunch

    I always look forward to your posts. Clearly your witticism knows no bounds.

    -When you don't feel sore for more than 4 days and you up your workout.
    -When you burn extra calories to fit in wine on a wine day.
    -When you read the ingredients on something at the store that you love and put it back.
    -When you buy the lean steak over your favorite fat marbled cut!

    ...you begin to dream about salads instead of George Clooney

    ^^Seriously?! You had me nodding my head right up until this, and then I was all wait, wha? NO!

    ...and my contribution: not one drop of soda, diet or otherwise, has passed these lips in 1 year!

    ... when your friends are eating junk food and the thought of it makes you want to either vomit or work out....
    ... when you get food and you are measuring it in your head
    ... when you plan your days around your workouts
    ... when you look forward to working out
    ... when you crave healthy foods
    ... when you think about the past week and you think you ate horrible because of the one day you ate candy or junk... and the rest of the week when you ate healthy and are like ick I ate so bad.
    ... when you know to avoid the scale on your TOM
    ... when you refuse to go to restaurant because they do not have the cal's listed so you can not plan ahead.
    ... when you refuse to go out to a "get a drink" with friends because you do not have enough cal's and know it is not worth going over- and you think of the money you are saving- and you save that money for your next Jillian DVD.
    ...when whey protein is a treat after working out because it is chocolate
    ... when you subscribe to running magazine- or any other fitness mag.
    ... when you spend more time looking at workout clothes in places like Target- and get excited to get new work out clothes and can't wait to use them!
    ... when you look up quotes or pics to put as your background of your computer to motivate you.
    ... when you know exactly how much you weigh
    ... when you do not look at the recipe part of the community board when you are hungry because you know you will crave all the good food.
    ... when you get excited for things that before you started working out you did not know existed like a HRM or the Nike +
    ... when you are watching food network and when they start to cook things in loads of butter you get sick thinking about it.
    ... when you can't stop looking at yourself in the mirror looking for "new muscle" or your collar bones..
