I am getting this way... See above post about pork chops and pizza. But I blame the weight lifting. I swear, I am not losing a POUND but I've lost some inches and I'm eating more than my allotted calories damn near EVERY DAY...ugh...
I could ALSO blame pizza/pork binge on ToM.
I add in exercise to give me extra calories, also water. Many times for me I feel hungry, drink a bit of water, and the feelings of hunger go away.
I don't worry about the exercise currently, my fitbit auto adjusts for me and that does all right.
I drink about 128-148 ounces of water a day.
I wake up out of a DEAD SLEEP hungry as hell. I chug some water as soon as I wake up and give myself 20-30 minutes to establish if I'm ACTUALLY hungry.
The only solution I can think of is to change what I eat and when I eat it.
The biggest problem time I see is right after I workout. I will get home, eat something (usually chicken breast on corn tortillas), workout, and then go to bed.
I'm going to change that to add a protein shake right before I go to sleep today and see if that helps.0 -

There are days when I just can't keep from eating everything I see. Other days I am well under control. The days I work out the hardest are the days that seem the most easy to control my food intake.0 -
Morning!!!
@lilaclovebird What do you have your activity level set at? Maybe you need to up it to account for the weightlifting? Just a thought

Just work out until you're ready to puke. It is a really good appetite suppressant. Just kidding. 0

I actually had to change my timing of my meals because of that. I found out early on I have to stop eating at least 1.5 hrs before a planned work out or otherwise I get sick. Even from something with low intensity as walking upsets my stomach.0 -
Read an article on a fitness page that said that men lose more weight working out on an empty stomach. Women lose more weight working out with something on their stomach. Don't know how true that is, but I tried not having food on my stomach and it seems to be helping.0

I used to regularly used to put in 90 mins on the elliptical w/out puking, I don't think I have that kind of time!0

I kept getting told by other MFP lifters that I might be eating too little anyway. So perhaps I'm not accounting enough for the lifting. I was also told that I shouldn't really worry too much until I've had the fitbit for a month and can see some real patterns.
In addition, I haven't lost any weight this month, but I HAVE lost inches.
1.5 off my bust (please let me shrink a cup size)
.5 off my waist
.5 off my hips
1.5 off of EACH THIGH
and nothing off of my calves..I am doomed/gifted to forever have large calves.

When I was a teen I had itty bitty titties. When I was about 20 or so I started gaining weight and also started getting boobs because of it. When I lost weight (the first time) I was so scared my boobs would disappear....they didn't!
What really killed 'em (not that they were great before anyway) was pregnancy/nursing...
Buuut, slap on a bra, pop them flapjacks in and no one is the wiser
I'm allll about that false advertising.

It feels like I've ALWAYS had big boobs, it would be nice to have small.
Grass is always greener on the other side and all that...
But at least I wear good bras now so back pain is null.

Gynecomastia is a common disorder of the endocrine system in which there is a non-cancerous increase in the size of breast tissue in males.
...You were saying?

Yeah, but at least if they do get man titties, they won't care if they are perky or saggy...something we gals worry about.0
-
I was...ahem..."fully developed" at 13. At my highest weight, I had to buy my bras from Lane Bryant, they didn't carry mysize in regular stores. Now they've shrunk enough that I can get them elsewhere, but I still prefer the Lane Bryant brand.0

Man, when I was a big girl with not very big boobs...it was really tough finding bras that fit. Seems like the majority of big girls have big boobs so trying to find a band size big enough around but with small enough cups AND not have those bs 1/2 inch straps and thin azz band that got lost in my back fat...was tough.
My favorite bra now is a $6 kind from the dollar store! It gives me pointy pinup boobs. I used to be such a cleavage baring gal but I wore bras that gave me "modern" cleavage. I still wear pushups when I wear dresses that require one but I tend to opt for the ol' $6 pointers more often now...they go with my "look" better, lol.0 -

I'm tiny in the band and big in the cups. I would LOVE to be able to find and fit in a $6 bra. That would be GLORIOUS to my tight budgeting, penny pinching self.0 -

And let's not forget some guys do get man boobs too, a.k.a. moobies just from being, well, fat. I speak from former experience. >_> Thankfully they have shrunk over time and though I am still about 70lbs from my goal weight, my moobies are nearly gone now.0 -
Moobies. A word almost, but not quite as good as titties.0

$6?!?! I wait till Lane Bryant has one of their big semi-annual sales, then I get 'em for about $25.00 each. But they fit nice and last forever, sooooo...I guess I won't complain too much. I just bought 6 of 'em, so I hope I don't shrink out of 'em before I get my money's worth!0

I feel like I almost never get my money's worth out of a bra...
ETA: I WISH I only paid $50...

For the record...those $6 bras don't last for a long time at all. Pretty flimsy. I've not wanted to invest in good pointy boobed pinup type bras since my weight (and boobs) fluctuate throughout the weight loss process. They aren't cheap either. So for now I'm loving my old lady bras from the dollar store!
@lilaclovebird Yowza! Strong and foxy...watch out boys

Soooo...I'm driving to the vet appt today and I get pulled over. The vet is a sketchy neighborhood and I don't fit the look of who normally frequents the area so I just KNOW this cop is thinking I'm down there buying drugs. And I've got my mangy azz looking pit mix with me. Apparently he noticed my registration sticker was expired. I have had my sticker peeled off before in my alley and thought it happened again so I told him that. He said that my state no longer sends out reminders (budget cuts, IL...omfg...I swear...I hate this state) that they are about to expire. I asked if this is the first year and he said yes. I also only had an expired insurance card on me (we have insurance but I did not have a recent card). So my appt is at 9:30 and I got pulled over at 9:20 just blocks from the vet. I'm fa-reaking out thinking I'll be late (remember this is the THIRD attempt at our first appt with this new doc!) while he is running my stuff. He comes back at 9:27 with a warning (bless his heart!!!) and apologized for how long it took. I said my vet appt is at 9:30 a few blocks up there so I'm thrilled I'll make it in time and I told him how much I appreciated the warning.
Phew.
Nash received an allergy shot today and some prednisone. He is up to 73lbs!! He hit 55 at 2 years and has slowly put on nearly 20 lbs over the last two years. Not the least bit fat, either. They think allergies are his problem too. Well, at first the were sure it was fleas. Combed him 4-5 times and kept checking. We had a horrible flea problem with our cats in our old apartment so we KNOW what a flea infestation is like and he has NEVER been diagnosed with them. I knew that wasn't it but I let them discover that on their own. He was an ANGEL today. I thought for sure when the cop walked up to the car, he'd growl like crazy...he reeeeeeally dislikes men approaching me or my car....he doesn't even like men on the sidewalk at a frickin' stoplight. Never once growled at the cop...he was a smallish, smiley guy so I think that was part of it...Nash particularly hates guys that act real "macho"...pisses him off. At the vet it was two ladies so he was loving on them and they were loving him back. He was very well behaved and very obedient. They said the injection would burn but he didn't even flinch. As I was paying they said they wish all their pits (we live a very pit heavy area) were as good as Nash. (I told him how he hates men and dogs that aren't his family so he isn't as perfect as he seems!)
When the vet and the mailman tell you how good your pooch is and the teacher tells you how awesome your kid is...it really validates all that hard work we put into raising them right!0 -

@Frankie_Felinius - Very nice with the compliments on the dog and kid.
@lilaclovebird - Rockin' photo! Is that a new hair cut? It looks good. 0 -

I was JUST thinking about you!
Well, about that song lyric you mentioned...from Bang a Drum. I cannot get that out of my head. Not the song...that lyric. (Frankly, I'm not a fan of the song as is even though I looooove Bon Jovi...I've asked a musician I know to punk-ify it for me.)
It brought to mind Man In Black...not sound-wise but message-wise kinda....
Ever since you mentioned it...I can't forget about it. To the point I've thought about a tattoo...but not the actual lyric...just a representation. A tiny little drum maybe...just encouragement...to keep putting one foot in front of the other until I can't anymore.
