I'm 93% certain that were it not for the size of my butt, I could go down another pants size already. I'm wearing jeans in the smallest size currently in my closet for the first time since they were washed (so no stretching), and they're loose.0

Please help me settle a debate.
What is a normal number of eggs for one person to consumer in a week? Let's imagine this person eats meat, but not necessarily every day, and not big portions of it. This person happily consume plenty of wholegrains, fruit and veg, dairy (and too much sugar but never mind that).
So normal number of eggs in a week?
I'd ask in the normal forums, but I don't want my face ripped off by the 'eat all the protein carbs are evil' mob. (Not having a dig at you low-carbers, just at the way some people harp on about it!)
I eat about a dozen a week, I think I'm (relatively) normal. However, I'm on the short side, so I'd imagine someone bigger/taller than me could definitely eat more and be considered normal.0 -

Actually, what'll skew that number isn't LC vs regular, but lifters vs non-lifters. I know some of the guys out there go through 5-6 eggs a day. I'd say it's safe to ask out there, just phrase it as what's normal for a typical, non-bulking person.0 -
Here are pictures of my fur babies. I am WAY behind on this, but I wanted to join in on the sharing party.
This is Owen. I fear he's not to return. It's been over 3 weeks now and haven't seen him. That makes me sad because he was my baby boy.
This is Lucy and Otis. Lucy is the big (for her breed, she's actually on the small side) Staffy, and Otis is the little one in the background.
Awww, they're all so cute but I love big dogs so can I have Lucy?
ETA: I love their names and I'm really sorry about Owen
You'd have to fight (physically more than likely) my husband for her. That's his baby and he was heartbroken when she ran away a few years ago. That's a long story and she didn't run away on purpose. Anyway, NO, you can't have Lucy. Although, you're more than welcome to come and visit her.
Edited because sometimes reading and typing is hard.
Deal, I'll bring my Hannah she's my profile pic
And she's adorable! I also love big dogs. Grew up my whole life with them. I just don't think I'm a small dog person. The smallest I think I could go for my own dog would be a Frenchie. I love Frenchies.

I hate it.
When cardio becomes this much of a drudgery for me I know it is time to change it up. Honestly, losing weight and improving physical performance is as much mental as it is diet. I firmly believe that if you hate every minute on that machine then you won't reap many benefits.
Is it possible to do your elliptical just a couple times a week? Shorter duration, more intense intervals. Then get either workout DVDs or do body-weight exercises. I just think variety and using your body in other ways may help.0 -

Today's confession: It REALLY p*sses me off that you can't outwork a bad diet.
The last month, I've been logging everything as usual, breakfast, lunches & snacks have been on point, but after analyzing the data, noticed my avg cals per day have been quite a bit higher. Exercise burn has been at its usual levels, avg about 550 cals a day. I usually net about 11-1200 cals per day after exercise, but this last month it's been more like 1700. And not good calories either, a lot of crap at home after work. Chips, cake, cookies. Bad habit creeping back in, getting complacent, I've figured this out for years, blah blah blah.
End result? a 5 lb gain for May.
The fire has been lit.
I'll take you up on that. The last month I have barely been holding on with emotional eating. I am finally back on track and starting to train again. Time to get serious. We can do this!
what do you guys need to encourage you/kick your *kitten* to stay on track? We might be able to help...and by extension, help ourselves
I've committed to [</= 1,300 net daily] for the next month.
I was at [</= 1,500 net daily], but I was eating too much & trying to offset it with more exercise...but my metabolism is on to that & wasn't cooperating!
My diary gets pissy when I eat under 1,200, but for the next month, I can live with the red scolding.
I have no idea how you do it. I'd be hangry. Badly.kellienw335 wrote: »Confession: I am on here so much because I hate my job.

Need to start seriously looking for another job, but every time I do the task is so daunting and don't feel like I'm qualified for any of the positions posted. Really depressing!
Sorry. I've been there. Nothing worse for self esteem than a crappy job.Norahoefer wrote: »When i get on the elipitcal in my basement I have to cover up every clock in the room including the one on the machine and then I spend the entire time trying to figure out how long each song I hear is or how many minutes between commercial breaks on the food network show I'm watching and how many minutes I have left. I hate it.
I hate the clock when doing cardio. MUST HIDE THEM ALL. What I do is set up my trainer in front of the TV and find something very entertaining to watch that's commercial free. Usually one of my comedies like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or Workaholics. Or a sports show like Ninja Warrior. Makes the time fly right on by.
Loving my gym since they added apps and Solitaire on the treadmill. Doing the best workouts ever and time flies by while I play and listen to my music. Love it. I wouldn't do it while running, but I can't run, so it's working out great.I've relapsed in my eating disorder. I only went over 500 calories ingested once this week, and I refuse to log my exercise because I don't believe that I actually burned that much. I have a concussion, and I'm not supposed to work out, so I do it all in secret so no one notices. I also have started weighing myself at least twice a day, never content with the number.
Admitting is the first step. Hope you can get some help.Here are pictures of my fur babies. I am WAY behind on this, but I wanted to join in on the sharing party.

ETA: I fail at forming sentences today guys.
Stretch. Potassium pills (and bananas). And get a foam roller. I had bad leg pain last week and did both and beat my personal best on the treadmill today (9.5% incline at 3.5 mph for an hour... was beat after that though).
Confession - I'm on my 4th cup of coffee. I don't think a nap is happening because I'm not tired enough for it... it will probably kick in around 5pm when I have to take the kids for swim lessons. I was craving some chocolate pudding and got a piece of dark chocolate, didn't help, so I ended up having a serving of Trutein chocolate pudding, which helped my craving but gosh it's just way too sweet. But at least it looks like it didn't send me on a massive carb craving spree for once, so I'll take it.
Only have 400 calories left and it's not even 1pm. But at least I'm not hungry. Considering going out for a walk as it's not too humid for once, but with my big workout this morning that might be overdoing it a little... so I might just be lazy and watch some X Files instead.

Great news on both!0 -
Big day in our house - my son had his high school graduation. I was a weeping, emotional wreck because it's been a long, hard battle for all of us. He has ADHD and mild Asperger's, but he's (hopefully!) graduating from the regular school program. It feels like a huge triumph!
Great job! My stepson also has Asperger's and homework, especially math, was exhausting and sometimes even emotional. Trying to understand from him what was going on in the classroom was... challenging lol. When he graduated, we were all over the moon about it! Congratulations

Losing 40lb has done crazy things to my sex drive and my behaviour around handsome men. Can't go into details, but if there were a hell I'd burn!
OMG I laughed till I cried!!!! Hopefully when I lose my pregnancy weight my libido will become like this!! My husband would be THRILLED!!! Sooooo funny!0 -

I'm also pretty drunk right now so I apologize in advance. like really, I usually abandon the website after I leave work (which I think benefits everyone), not sure how I got here now.... dang alerts!
I hauled butt on the treadmill today (tried running for the first time, lmfao, didn't make it far!) , but I still haven't made up for all my calories. And i'm still hungry! I just want to stuff my face, be drunk, and be thin! It's that too much to ask? lol
Btw: corsets are totally sexy
I don't think that's too much to ask. If you find some genie handing out that wish, send him my way.
all the local antique shops keep asking me to stop trying to shine their lamps....but what if i just haven't rubbed the RIGHT one yet?!?!
Hahaha! That's great! Well, consistency is the key, so I think you best stick with it.0 -

If I were her, I would not want to know that. I would have a hard time mentally if my husband weighed less than I did. When I am teetering at high weight, and my husband is in good shape, we are close and I hate it! He tells everyone that he outweighs me by 50 pounds, no matter what shape I am in (usually that is closer to 15 pounds). I love it when he does that, even though I know it's not true.
We are constantly back and forth, partly because of my legs, but also because I'm taller than he is. It bothers me less when I know absolutely it's fluid. When it's like now, though, where I'm still up in shirt sizes, that makes me grumpy. We can usually trade t-shirts back and forth, sometimes they're too tight on him, sometimes they're too tight on me, and that's my general gauge of who's "winning". He's definitely winning right now, but I'm catching up on him (kind of disturbingly fast this week, actually).0 -

I know I shouldn't resent them, but damn, when I see a thin girl complaining about how those jeans make her *kitten* look big, I want to slap her in the face.Me too!!!!!! In fact it pisses me off. I think it is because I just WISH that the hunt fr the perfect jeans on a perfect body was my biggest issue. Maybe it is jealousy? But either way.... I feel the same!
This is just damn sad. SMH :noway:
Pardon my ignorance but, personally, I'm really and honestly confused by what society calls fat shaming: if a slim person complains or comments about the fit of their clothing, or just plains looks great in their clothes, why should someone of a different size feel any way about that? Why should anyone be phased in a negative way? Unless.....somewhere in their mind there's a teeny bit of jealousy, or it makes the "observer" keenly aware that they need to make chnges in their own lives....? I don't get it...0 -

I also never order ribs. I hate getting my hands dirty, even if it's because of delicious ribs.
I stopped eating meat 25 years ago because seeing raw meat grossed me out. I stopped eating anything you had to rip off a bone 35 years ago. Completely turns my stomach.
That's very similar to my explanation of how I eat: if it reminds me of what it was when it was alive, I don't eat it. Sometimes it's appearance, and other times (like pork) it's texture that puts me off.
I can force myself to cook it but I won't be able to eat the end result, having handled it.
But I can eat ground beef from time to time (bears no resemblance to dead cow, in my mind) or small pieces of meat like ham in pea soup or chicken bits in fried rice with no problem... just don't plop a steak on my plate.
I'll volunteer as tribute to eat your steak. Oh, and pork.
I accept, thank you!
You get my steak, roast, porkchops, bacon, ribs and chicken parts -- never been able to eat wings.
(Needless to say, anything with a bone in it immediately fails the "it used to be alive" test.)
And apparently my egg consumption isn't as high as I thought...
I know I've got you beat, but then, that's keto problems 0 -
