    I feel sad. There are so many people who want to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time. 30lb in 3m. 52 pounds in 52 weeks. Etc.

    I think it's great to have ambition, but I know how disappointing and demotivating it can be when you don't reach those goals. I try not to go into those threads because I don't want to *kitten* on their enthusiasm... But I just want to tell them to slow the roll a bit. Remember the last twenty will often take a LOT longer than the first 20. That the speed with which the weight drops is not as important as the process and steps you take to get there.

    I hope people reach their goals. But I hope it's done in a healthy and sustainable way.

    Maybe I need to resurrect my get rich quick thread.

    Ugh. Repeat that louder for those in the back. (Me...it’s me in the back). I lost 60 lbs in about 4 months without ever trying to lose weight that quickly. Then 12 more over the course of many months. Then gained like 5.😫 This last 20-30 is probably gonna take me the rest of my life. But....I feel amazing and am having fun so whatever.

    I’m on board for your get rich quick schemes. 💯

    Ima be with you having fun in the back. It is time to just enjoy the ride.

    Definitely! I’ve come too far to not have fun honestly. I’m 100% over negative self talk etc....let’s do this. I’ll be the guy in blue....I’ve actually had to wear something similar to that before. Holla.

    Also, i’m looking forward to everyone going back to work so they can entertain me on MFP

    Lol. Funny how that works, hey?

    It’s almost as if they value time with their families more than my amusement! ☹️

    ^^ Me. Every time I check for updates to the Dad Bod Thread

    Some people are extremely selfish around here...not posting and such. 🙄

    Can we have a freeze tag club so I can have time to eat a cheese sandwich?

    I thought you would never ask. I’ll bring the cheese.

    Omg....I’ve seen some YouTube videos about these kind of companies making knockoffs. This is a “reborn” doll. She gave to my daughter. I wish she would save her money for a plethora of reasons. I’m sure I’ll be donating that thing within a few months. Maybe your friend can have it and work her/his magic. Or someone at Goodwill can be frightened when they open that box.

    Perhaps stating the obvious but you'll want to check for stimulants in your pre-workout and that you're not working out before you wanna sleep 🤷🏿‍♀️

    I want to do my first overnight hiking trip this summer. I am currently accepting thoughts, ideas, advice on everything from what the heck you call that kind of hike to how to train to how to outfit myself correctly while spending as little as possible.

    I currently lift and walk. I own shoes. TIA

    load up whatever backpack you're going to carry with everything you plan or want to take. including food and water.

    then weigh it.

    that'll help as a starting point.
    because the heavier it is the longer the hike is going to feel.

    I’m thinking of doing part of the Empire State trail. You close to any part of that?
