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

When you give a girl scout that look like "if you ask me if I want to buy a box of cookies I will give you the People's Elbow in from of this WalMart"

Awww! The Peoples Elbow
...When your significant other (currently deployed) tells you he’d rather hear how your day actually was than what/when you ate/worked out.
...When you actually send those pictures he’s been asking for!
...When you respond to ANYONE else’s pain in workout terms (Pain is temporary!)
...When you have a “crush” on guys at the gym because they can lift more than you.
...When MFP on your phone is too hard while running sprints so you text yourself the times to track immediately after you’re finished.
...When you can’t decide if you want a sports bra or running shoes with your bday/Christmas money.

When you realize you have to balance your diet just like you balance your checkbook!

AMEN
...When Rachel Ray suggests you add a mile or two to your run and you *know* it’ll take at least 5 miles to burn off all the cheese/bacon she just added.
...Wfter two glasses of wine (preplanned of course) you & your bff have a squat contest and you win. At 147. Without falling down dead.
...When you have the day off and can only think about working in a run. A long run.

If you try to drown your sorrows in Jillian Michael's 30 DS workout instead of a tub of chocolate icecream

your boss gives you gourmet chocolates and you give them away without eating one.

you don't like to eat anything without knowing the nutrition information and referring to MFP to see how it fits into your day..you also insist on weigh out portions before you eat.

your coworkers start being apologetic when they invite you to go out to lunch because they know you're trying to lose weight and feel like they're tempting you, but don't want to exclude you either.

you have multiple conversations daily about exercise and nutrition with people who aren't on MFP.

you catch yourself tallying other people's calories when you eat with them.

you bought running shoes and workout clothes with your Christmas and birthday money.

* when you pick your 8 year old up after school and her first questions are "what's for dinner? & What's our exercise today?"

* when same 8 year old knows how to bag up her own snacks from a big bag and count out a proper serving size

* when you just can't bear to "drink" your calories, 140 calories of juice or food, i'm going with food every.single.time!

* when your s/o is mad cause you buy your own seperate 100- calorie snacks (for my sweet tooth) that are off limits to them because they eat 2 to 3 packs a sitting instead of the one

* you carry crystal light packets in your purse to add to your water when you eat out

* you recite the calorie count on something everytime someone offers you something unhealthy

When I reach for a piece of fruit instead of something sweet.

When I look forward to running everyday

When I find a way to make everything I do some type of exercise.

- you wake up early knowing you have to work a 12 hour shift just to go to the gym

- you actually measure out a serving size of everything you eat

- you have the will power to say no to your favorite unhealthy food.

when i say NO to eating at fastfood chains
NO to FRIES,PIZZA,RICE,PASTA
more interested in MFP than chatting
enjoying myself wid zumba and belly dancing everyday...

LOVE it! too funny!!!

Your son says "Mommy I can put my arms around you" or he asks " do you have any calories left" or "are you still on the elliptical"

You ask your other co-worker who is also using MFP - "why dont they bring in platters of fruits instead of donuts and danishes"

You give your girl scout cookies away without even opening the box.

I so did that too!! All 4 boxes!
