You know you're serious about losing weight when....

I'm sorry...I'm too upset at the thought of perfectly good cake destroyed forever. I need a moment...

YUUUUP-You look up a menu online before going out and decide not to go there.
****ROTFL THIS ONE IS MY FAVOITE LMFAO You know that semen has not only calories but nutritional value
YUUUUP-You wear your heart rate monitor to do everything just for fun. But only log actual exercise.
NOT YET BUT WILL GET THERE-You donate your "fat" clothes instead of packing them up for a later use.

You know that semen has not only calories but nutritional value

Seriously??? Well, add this to the list of things I never knew. And pray my husband never reads this.

LMFAO

Your 6 yr old asks what the label on her gold fish says! Then says, not too bad

.... pass on buying junk food even when it's ridiculously cheap on sale
.... start seeing sex as exercise just as much as pleasure
.... force your pastry-chef roommate to start baking only healthy snacks
.... don't eat cheese

Oh cheese, how I miss you...

... you get sick, and all you can think about is that you can't go to the gym!
... you spend 20 minutes on the weekend carefully weighing and measuring almonds and prunes for the upcoming weeks snacks.
... your philosophy is, "I'd rather count too few calories burned instead of too many." or "I'd rather assume I ate more then guess too low."
... you weigh most of your food in grams, search for the food that gives you the grams option, and do the math to figure out how many servings of 85g you ate when you ate 125g.

Edit: the answer to the last one is 1.47 servings!

OMG I love all of these and definately can relate to most of them!

"you know when you are serious about losing weight when...."

* working a crazy busy 12 hour shift and you are heading to the gym afterwards for a crazy hard workout
(my work friends think I'm crazy - which makes me feel pretty darn good)
^^ * ^^ repeat times 4 dayshifts
*instead of dreaming of doing tough exercise challenges - you are actually signing up for them! (ex: 10km Race or "Tour de Jasper" (365 km bike ride through the Rockies)
* you avoid any events that involve food because you have your daily intake already planned for the day

[I forgot one!]

You know you're serious about losing weight when....

You watch an action flick or play an action-y video game, and the entire time you're thinking to yourself, 'Wow.. I wonder how many calories that guy/girl burns dodging bullets during a shootout' or, 'Man, I bet they burn about 2000 calories from all that hand to hand (or weapon) combat," (geeky)

- Ice water sounds delicious, even with Coke and punch in direct line of sight.
- You turn down free Girl Scout Cookies, or grab them to give to someone else WITHOUT opening.
- Grapes replace all forms of candy.
- Fresh & Easy wins over Carl's F*in Jr. (Wow on this one. It's happened, and only the people immediately around me believe it.)
- You bust your butt working out when you're tired just so you can eat at a Denny's study session. (Guilty in the last 20 minutes!)
- You can't wait to get home and exercise.
- Pizza sounds... frankly, awful.

....oranges are as good as sex.

You are doing it wrong then. :bigsmile:

-You're in a lot of pain, but you go to the gym anyway, to punish your body for being a p*ssy.
-When you actually weigh what it says you do on your license
-When you wonder if moshing should be counted as cardio or weight training

.... decline mediocre cocktails/wine/dessert because you don't want to waste your calories
.... budget calories for a yummy dessert at your favorite restaurant
.....walk to your errands so you can burn a few extra calories
.....dream about tabata workouts
.....start following fitness/health people on Pinterest
.....your friends are sick of you talking about boot camp (this is inspired by my friend)
.....you star in a photoshoot for your boot camps marketing materials (ok, same friend)
.....you discuss the best yoga classes/studios with your friends at brunch

when your husband thinks you are eating without him !!!

when your grocery bags are lighter !!!

when you count every calories even when you are not eating

you actually check mfp, for the calories you have left for they day before you order another beer.

Yes! This is me!

... when your friends are eating junk food and the thought of it makes you want to either vomit or work out....
... when you get food and you are measuring it in your head
... when you plan your days around your workouts
... when you look forward to working out
... when you crave healthy foods
... when you think about the past week and you think you ate horrible because of the one day you ate candy or junk... and the rest of the week when you ate healthy and are like ick I ate so bad.
... when you know to avoid the scale on your TOM
... when you refuse to go to restaurant because they do not have the cal's listed so you can not plan ahead.
... when you refuse to go out to a "get a drink" with friends because you do not have enough cal's and know it is not worth going over- and you think of the money you are saving- and you save that money for your next Jillian DVD.
...when whey protein is a treat after working out because it is chocolate
... when you subscribe to running magazine- or any other fitness mag.
... when you spend more time looking at workout clothes in places like Target- and get excited to get new work out clothes and can't wait to use them!
... when you look up quotes or pics to put as your background of your computer to motivate you.
... when you know exactly how much you weigh
... when you do not look at the recipe part of the community board when you are hungry because you know you will crave all the good food.
... when you get excited for things that before you started working out you did not know existed like a HRM or the Nike +
... when you are watching food network and when they start to cook things in loads of butter you get sick thinking about it.
... when you can't stop looking at yourself in the mirror looking for "new muscle" or your collar bones..
