A little verbal warning.
Green: "You're doing wonderful!"
Yellow: "Whoa nelly, slow down!"
Red: "Put the fork down fat-ss!"

When my nemesis (co-worker who won't shut up about how I eat) saw it, she was all "Well well well, that sure doesn't look like it's on your diet!"
So, rather than explain how CICO works for the 20th time, I lied & said "Well, it's a no-carb tortilla, made with egg beaters, those aren't potatoes, they're parsnips, and it's fat-free cheese. Want a bite?"
She made a face & walked away
I like the way you dealt with that - made me chuckle.0 -
I kind of miss it too!
I do have a confession. I am failing abysmally at meeting my protein goal. My target is a mere 90 grams a day, yet despite getting 45 grams at supper (currently sitting in my stomach like a rock, blah) I'm only at 76 for the day. Yesterday was much the same, think I was in the 70s.
Worse, I've custom set my target at 90 grams/day but MFP bumps it up to an even more unachievable amount once I log my exercise. I'd be happy with 90, and even if I manage to throw a yogurt in there later, that'll only get me another 8.
It's things like this that make me think I suck at being a grown-up sometimes.
Secret keto protein weapon - pork rinds. I've only found one brand that I can stand to eat as-is, but ground up into breadcrumbs and used to make chicken nuggets or meatballs, you can't taste them, they work just like regular breadcrumbs, and you add a quick 20g of protien.0 -
It's beginning to be the reason I spend so much time there.
Anything to help with fitness

You never tied two cans together with a string to make a "telephone" when you were a kid? That's what I think of when I see his username.0 -

That just might be a plan! I don't eat meat but it's not an ethical thing, it's a weird squeamish psychological thing, so meat that doesn't resemble meat will work. And pork rinds turned into breadcrumbs will definitely not resemble meat... I would never have thought of that one.
Thank you!!0 -
Screw accuracy. I don't want to underestimate my energy intake or over estimate my energy output so I choose whatever food option has the highest amount of energy and when I exercise I record a lower intensity than I felt I actually did or I'll take 5-10 minutes off my workout time. I'm losing weight so far so I'll keep doing it. (I don't have kitchen scales yet.)
I sometimes record that I've lost weight when I haven't because it guilts me into trying harder and I soon get down to the weight I've recorded.0 -

Ha! My dog now refuses to run with me on the leash because I jerked her neck once too often when she stopped to smell the pee-mail. But we have a trail nearby where dogs can be off leash and she happily runs with me there. Since I got pregnant she stays running right by my heels, almost like she's guarding me. I love that dumb dog.
That seriously made me awww - and I am not a cutsey person.0 -
I have a friend visiting this weekend, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to weigh anything while she's here. It isn't a shame thing, but more out of consideration for her former ED. She doesn't even know I've been losing weight.
I'm a very rigorous measurer (except for my weekly nachos), so this is kind of a big deal for me. Even when I gleefully blow my calorie goals, I still weigh everything. I'm a little afraid I'm going to just go nuts and eat all the things.0 -

I had a wedding--I HATED it. And I didn't get any of my own cake *sniffle*
In fact, I didn't get any of my own wedding food, except the cold leftovers when all the guests were gone. -_-
That's terribly sad!
My husband and I didn't save any of our cake to freeze for our first anniversary. We took the top layer home and ate it piece by piece for the next week. No regrets!0 -
I've started eating less than 600 calories a day to speed up my loss. My TDEE is only like 1600 right now, so 1200 is going to get me pretty much nowhere. I'm actually pretty *kitten* proud of myself for how much self restraint I can show.
Please understand that this is not judgment, but I hope you know that what you are doing is very bad for your health. Please don't go down this road.

I hear that on the big thighs. I have to wear pants two sizes too big for my waist to fit my thighs. People are always asking if I've lost more weight than I have simply because my pants gape at the waist and make me look like a weight loss add...nope, just thighs too big. XD
I have the opposite problem. All my weight is around my middle so I need to have pants with a bigger waist (currently 14) but pants are baggy around the butt and thighs. Makes me look like I am wearing old lady pants!

Woo! Go us with our 400 pages. I confess that my feet hurt so bad and I was so tired when I got home from work and I still had like 700 calories left over...so I pulled out a bag of chips and counted out servings logging them as I ate and ended up with 300 calories under my goal. Not my proudest moment: "13, 14, 15...*logs 160 calories*...."1, 2, 3...", but still not as bad as I used to be if I'd had a rough day at work. ^_^0

Urgh, bras are the bane of my existence at the moment. I REALLY need new ones but refuse to buy any until I've lost more weight as they're so bloody expensive. In the meantime, I've been wearing a tight vest top under my clothes to keep the bra in place. My boobs are so unruly at the moment.
This^^.

I cut myself accidentally shaving- just a tiny nick, but it stung a little and bled and I had a moment of wanting to do it again on purpose. I know I won't, that's it's just an echo, but it was strange to feel it again.
On a different note, I sort of wish I had Resting *kitten* Face, or Resting Impassive Face, or something. Instead I have Resting Despair Face, which prompts complete strangers to try to cheer me up all the time.0 -

I talk on the phone all day at work, so I'll be damned if I'm gonna pick up the phone at any other time. Text me for Pete's sake. My husband is the polar opposite; he is on his phone alllll the time. He had the day off yesterday, and he called me (I counted) 12 times. For nothing, really. And that was just me! I'm sure he was calling 100 other places, too.
Before my husband got a new boss he used to have a very slack job (b/c his boss didn't care) and would often only work from 9-1. He would call me 3-4 times per day just let the cat "talk" to me. I would get frustrated because I am always so busy at work and often skip my lunch as it is. Now with his new boss I rarely get even a text... I am so much more productive now.

thats tough when its your parents or close friends that just never seem to understand. They then make it out so that you are the bad guy.
But you realize it and can put a stop to it! Don't let others make you feel guilty for it, either! You take control of your life for YOU. Putting yourself first and others second is not selfish. You can do it!

haha I do that when I've got a lot left over. I input a bunch of different servings first so I can set my limit, but seriously, the other night I was counting out servings of Dots with every one that went into my mouth.

It's weird that after you stop, it's still always there in the back of your mind. I used to in early high school (terrible coping with PTSD stuff) and still, when things get horrible, it pops back into mind. It's weird. Addictions are like that, I suppose, no matter what they are. It definitely is strange to experience it again. Proud of you for stopping and rationalizing it all through!0 -
Confession - Sometimes I pretend I had a bad day so my husband will rub my feet.0

I can't stand other people's dogs. So gross. My coworker bright in her full size great Dane to the office and everyone oohed and awed as he slobbered over everything! The only dog I was somewhat attached to was the one my ex gave me. I had him for about a year and when we broke up, my parents took him in. Then he was adopted by my aunt on a farm where he is now. I don't really miss him. I will always be a cat person.quiksylver296 wrote: »
Yes! I walked into a gym Tuesday and a dog came up to me...in the gym! He had that look like he wanted to be petted. I walked around him. People looked at me like I had two heads. I don't like other people's dogs. I am mildly allergic and can break out in hives. (I feed my own dog high-end food which helps with my allergies.)

When we lived in our old condo, my husband suggested that i take my cat for a walk down the hallway to check the mail. 20 min later he pops his head out the door to see we've made it 10 feet. The cat had no concept of "going for a walk" and would take 2 steps. Sit and look around. Lick himself. Go 5 steps in the opposite direction and repeat.

I agree with the thing about addictions always being in the back of your mind. I thought I was "cured" from bulimia and haven't binged and purged in years. However, now that I've started to lose weight again the thoughts have returned. Whenever I mess up and eat something that brings me over calories, the thought comes to the front of my mind. I have not done it yet and I don't intend to, but it's bizarre... I thought I'd never have these feelings again!

My humble apologies for inadvertently not yet responding to the inquiring-minds-wanna-know 'request-for-information/clarification/explanation/wth-IS-that?!' gentle 'lines of inquiry' from you and BZAH10...
...as for 'The Mystery of the Funky UserName' (next up, in the Nancy Drew oeuvre )... I initially wondered about keeping any explanation/clarification to 'just a few lines', or otherwise such that it occupied a 'stick-of-cheese'-sized piece of 'screen real estate', when displayed... and without feeling as though I was doing so 'with a gun to my head' (as if some sort of 'invisible lawman' was going to 'monitor the process', in order to ensure that 'forced constriction' took place (such that the Presumed Laws of Preferential Posting were 'followed'))... whereas what I *wanted* to do, was to respond with whatever playfully conveyed explanation felt natural to have 'spill out of me' (in a manner of speaking) -- and that's what I'm giving 'free rein', here...
Let the Proceedings begin...!
"The Court calls qn4bx9pzg8aifd to the Stand..."
"Please tell the Court what the origin of your username is..."
> "Well... it involves alphanumeric characters which were typed in sequence..."
"Your Honor, permission to treat the witness as 'hostile'... and a wisea*s... the witness's testimony is critical to these proceedings, and further delay is unwarranted, cannot be condoned, and should be considered grounds for Contempt..."
"I repeat... please tell the Court what the origin of your username is..."
> "Well... I've always wanted to learn how to play piano..."
"Relevance, Your Honor...?"
"Counselor, are you directing a Relevance Objection 'at' your Witness? That's now how this works!"
> "...if I may be allowed to continue...?"
(...nodded-head -based authorization granted...)
> "I've always wanted to learn to play piano... and as it turns out, when I went to create a username on MFP, I spontaneously decided -- and in conjunction with a playful impulse -- to pretend I knew how to play some sort of complicated piano piece, and involving a piano whose keys happened to exist in a special 4-row configuration/layout... and thus... and in order to 'capture' the character string in question... I type-piano-'played' my stunningly brief 'song', and then wrote down the 'notes', on a seemingly-foreign-to-the-modern-era object known as a piece of paper... all while noting that the finger movements associated with my 'type-playing' resembled more of a court stenographer's form of 'typing', and that one might think I were a Vulcan trying to repeatedly re-establish and ultimately 'find' the 'right' 'finger positioning' for actioning a Vulcan MindMeld, albeit with/'for' a computer..."
"Do you know how ridiculous that sounds...?"
> "Yes, Counselor, I do..."
"It looks like an encryption sequence... or as though someone's fingers weren't positioned 'correctly' on 'home row'... you're telling me that it's the result of fake piano playing...?"
> "I am... and believe me when I say that I'm as embarrassed by the reality as you are stupified by it..."
"OMG..."
"And with that... Court is Adjourned..."

I don't get a lot of things when it comes to having a baby, then again, I don't have kids. When I got married, I never had a shower, we had everything we needed. I have no desire for a baby shower when the time comes, I don't want anyone to feel obligated to by me anything. As for the gender reveal parties, IMHO I think they are dumb and if you think about it, the terminology is wrong. Technically, it is a sex reveal as you know what sex the child will be. The gender comes later when the child will identify with either male or female behaviors. When the time comes for me to have a kid, the sex reveal will happen at the hospital in the delivery room.
I also dislike the idea of push gifts. I heard this term about a year ago during a conversation between colleagues. Why should a father to be have to buy an expensive gift for the mother to be. The baby alone is the gift (not a new car or expensive piece of jewelry)
