I spend too much time here every day, doling out advice and encouragement, telling people about CICO, how to succeed, etc etc etc....
I have not lost any weight (that I have kept off) in SIX MONTHS.
That's right, I have "maintained" (read: lost weight, then stuffed my fat face) for half a year. It's a miracle I haven't actually gained.
I'm complacent, and I make excuses, and I'm basically just being totally crap at this weight loss thing. And you know what? I RESENT knowing how much I know about weight loss, because in the past, I'd have "mixed it up" byt going for a "kickstart" and doing a few weeks of shakes, or majorly low carb, or chowing down some "Fatblaster Max". And now I know that all there is for it is to stop being an *kitten* about it and get it done.
And I'm writing ALL this knowing I'm about to go on a 5 day holiday which I will AGAIN use as an excuse to say "I'll get back to it next week, this is special circumstances, I don't have much of a choice what I eat, so stuff it."
I need a damn good slapping.
Yeah....that's me, too.

Ooh, or cilantro, or garlic. I like how you think.0 -
Have you ever done hot yoga? You skid around everywhere!smashley_mashley wrote: »pofoster21 wrote: »quiksylver296 wrote: »http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10135773/might-as-well-starve
Haven't decided if this one is going up in flames or not, but it might!
Starred this one to read later. Looks like it could get interesting.

Anyway, how are the shoulder workouts going? You do realize that once we've mastered that we're going to add on, right? I'm thinking we need to start with planks: no equipment required and can be done while on the floor either before or after shoulders / arms. Thoughts?
Planks are awesome, I prefer to do them in crocodile form, with my forearms on the ground.
Personally, I don't think enough people spend enough time in Down Dog. Most leg discomfort from exercising can be easily avoided with properly stretched calves and hamstrings. After you get to a comfortable with Down Dog, graduate into Walking the Dog where you take the traditional Down Dog position, then alternate raising and lowering your heels. And that's my broscience & yogapanttheory knowledge.
Same here, and you know what? Even with all the shoulder exercises I do, these still make my shoulders burn when I do them. Guess that's a good thing and why they continue to be a challenge for me.
I can't do Downward Dog - I get a head rush and then get dizzy. I have an inner-ear imbalance problem, though, so that's probably why. I do stretch my calves and hamstrings every night (while doing my arm exercises).
I practiced yoga on and off for years and didn't mind downdog. After a few years of minimal exercise and weight gain I really struggled with this pose... I lost a lot of shoulder strength and it took a bit of work to get it back. I also find my hands creep forward. I recently bought a new mat (jade harmony pro) as I want to practise more and after reading many reviews figured it was the most grippy. It is definitely more grippy but my hands still creep forward. Maybe I just sweat lots in my hands.
Confession: As much as I love yoga, I HATE hot yoga. With a passion.0 -

I'm nearly 33 and have been doing it since I was about 11. Every now and again I stop it but then I always start up again. Nasty habit!
Same here! I chew on my nails, then when I've chewed them down to nothing I start on my cuticles. My only solution? Bitrex nail polish. I smear it all over the nails AND cuticles, and there's no way I am putting that near my mouth!
Here's a random link to the stuff (I don't buy this brand since it isn't available where I live, but I *think* this is the same thing.) http://www.amazon.com/Super-Nail-Bite-More-oz/dp/B000AADFGG
I have tried that before but j just got used to the taste!
Nice to know I am not alone though and that there are so many of us finger pickers about! 0 -

Confession - woke up to the house smelling like bacon from someone deciding they needed some at 3am. Made bacon cheeseburger for breakfast to retaliate. I hear someone grumpy upstairs.0 -
I hurt my back a couple weeks ago & took some time off workouts & running. I also started eating crappy (why do we do this when we can't workout?!?!?)
Then, my weekly weigh in last Wednesday, I didn't gain an ounce...so positive reinforcement, right? I continued to eat like crap.
My weigh in is tomorrow and I can feeeeeel the chub. It's gonna be ugly...at least I ran yesterday

I have an out-of-office meeting at 10:00. Thinking of taking my gym bag and hitting the gym before I go back to my office. Rather excited about it, actually.0

I used to deal with bulimia... When I get upset about screwing up my diet I would eat a whole pizza AND cheese sticks and then go throw up... Luckily this hasn't happened in a while, but it doesn't mean it's easy to avoid... :-((((( Definitely a gross feeling
On the other hand when I stick to my guns and eat healthier foods it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo exhilarating how good you feel.0 -

I don't think cashiers should make any type of judgmental comment on anything anyone is buying. None of their business.
I love Monster too. I had a similar experience. The cashier told me I was going to have a stroke because one of his friends that drinks them had one. He kept going on about how they aren't good for you. I was like Ok...

When you get home, email the store and ask why (insert cashier's name here) is trying to harass you to not buy things from their store. They'll fix it.0 -
@FluffySandwich , I am very sorry for your loss. It sounds like you are handling it better than a lot of people. I get drunk from Father's day until the fate of his death. It's been 3 years and I'm not sure that it actually gets easier.
@AgentOrangeJuice , I am so sorry you went through all that. That's just horrible.

Confession: My boyfriend's mother (super sweet teeny tiny British lady) gave my boyfriend a Godiva bag filled with hot chocolates and a box of 20 chocolates for me. I've been having a rough time between my grandmother diagnosis of stage 4 liver cancer, her sudden death the week afterwards, getting Norwalk as soon as I got back home from being in my hometown for the funeral and a minor mental breakdown.
All I want to do is eat all the chocolates and drink all the hot chocolate, I know I can't because with all the traveling the two weeks prior I ate like crud and didn't following my training for the half. It's adding to my frustration... am I horrible person for wanting to bring them to the office, leave it for my coworkers and call it a day? >.>
Edit:.... Spelling dammit0 -

I ate two pints of Talenti Salted Caramel Peanut & a Pint of Jeni's Brown Almond Butter Brittle that I am counting in other days this week.
I also had the rest of my Talenti Egg Nog, Edy's Mint Chocolate Chip, Jeni's Savannah Buttermint, & Jeni's Goat Cheese with Red Cherries that I just plugged in my diary yesterday as my later snack & dinner.
Oh man I miss Jeni's! I went to grad school at OSU and Jeni's ice cream and Hounddogs pizza are things that cannot be replaced outside of Columbus!0 -

I actually did write to the store once because the cashiers there always do stuff like that. The store is Target. I go there with my sister and mom on the weekend to grocery shop. I've had people lecture me about flu shots, things I'm buying and they ALWAYS go on and on about their red card (I do not want one). I've had cashiers tell me I'm weird because I'd rather use cash or a check.
After they got hacked last year, I had to cancel my card and get a new one so I only use cash or checks there now (trying to do that everywhere if I can). They don't seem to get that no means no and I really want to yell that out sometime when a cashier won't stop bugging me.
I only go still because I like going with my family and I try to go through a line that has a cashier that doesn't ask. But it is REALLY annoying.0 -

Thanks I've interviewed before, and they always say no for your first go around, and then don't even respond the second and sometimes third attempts just to see how you handle rejection.

I went somewhere once and was overwhelmed with requests to donate to some Children with Leukemia Fund. I finally just snapped, and said "no, this store has made me hate them, hate them to the point that I want to donate to give them even more leukemia." The looks I got.0 -

Yeah, I used to be bulimic as well. The urge never goes away for me, unfortunately, even though I know I feel so much better now.
CONFESSION: I had popcorn for dinner last night.0 -
I haven't suffered from pushy, judgey cashiers, however I sometimes wonder if they notice what they're scanning and make up stories in their heads. I know I would (although I'd never say anything). Especially when it's one of those awkward shops where you only seem to be buying cat food, chocolate and sanitary towels.0
