The people I talk to and mingle with every day here on MyFitnessPal. The ones who have 1lb losses weekly; who are always working their hardest to be on target but still enjoy life. The ones that started when I did but have lost 15lbs more than I have, with the same starting weight, because they stuck to it and I didn't.…

*tries to shove Thin Mints through the screen* :p

.. I'm literally eating a Thin Mint now. Yum. :)

I weight myself up to six or seven times a day. Mostly for fun - I only take my weight in the morning (naked) seriously. I only record losses. :p If I gain, I just don't record again until I'm back to a loss. I hate water. So much.

Totally agree. I'm a Lysol fiend too.

Who doesn't have pet peeves? My pet peeves relate to sanitary practices and overabundance of body spray, not how a person personally chooses to exercise.

I'll agree to disagree.

A trigger, by definition, "cause(s) (an event or situation) to happen or exist". It triggers me because I eat the entire jar, mindlessly, and then feel I've fallen off the wagon, leading to feelings of failure, which leads to a desire for more comfort food and even less self-control. It leads to old habits, which have yet…

Absolutely, but why not look at self-control a different way? You're right that the food I find to be a trigger is a comfort food - but it was used in mass amounts to give the comfort. While I may not be able to control myself from consuming the entire jar, I can walk past the jars of Nutella without putting it in my cart.…

When I wear my HRM, I keep the strap under my breasts, under my bra, under my sports bra. Literally flush contact with my skin. I'm busty too and have never had an issue with the underwire. Is it new? When my Polar's battery started to die, it didn't read my heart rate right. I'd talk to your HRM's customer service. You…

It took me a long time to try seafood at all - shrimp is one of my favorites, lobster is "ehhh" to me and crab is just gross. (?!) So my goal for this year is mussels and oysters. :sweat_smile: They look so goooood but I'm such a texture freak.

I think this is a very valid point. Stress is a huge trigger for me, in all senses. Food was my comfort. Nutella especially, as I've mentioned - and I still can't consume it without those same feelings associated with it. Same with the beer. I'm not very good at having 2-3 unless that's ALL there is to have.

I think so, personally. I seriously can't stop at two servings. Or three. Or four. Admittedly, it's the only food I have a problem with! So it's easier to just kick it out of the house. :p

I don't want to spend the money for a new (working) sewing machine when I'd much rather spend it on new Nike's. :# It definitely is valuable, but I like keeping tailors in business I guess. :p

I worked at Starbucks for a long time. I'm pretty sure my overindulgence was the cause for my final 20lb weight gain a couple of years ago. But! For you to be successful, you shouldn't outright avoid things. You can indulge in Starbucks and still lose (I've recently switched from frappuccinos, to lattes, to plain iced…

You could go without exercise completely and still lose weight - ONLY if your diet is in check. Your diet is the most important part. If you're eating too many calories, exercise really isn't going to help on its own.

Basically. What foods make you compulsively, mindlessly eat? What foods trigger bad memories? What foods make you slip? That's how I see it.

EVIIIIL! Nah. :) Unfortunately, I do have trigger foods. Particular Nutella. One serving isn't enough. It just isn't. I try my hardest to control it but the scent of it, the sight of it, the taste of it - I can eat an entire jar in one sitting. Even if I take one serving and put the jar up in a high off place, I go back…

.. *bookmarks the recipe for later experimentation*

That's what I'm afraid of! :( Still going to do it, haha.

1. If I eat off of his plate, it doesn't count, right? 2. I burnt 195 calories .. I can totally round that up to 200. 3. Two more Thin Mints can't possibly make a difference, can it? 4. I wonder how many calories I consume just tasting the meals I cook .. 5. Why do I have my aunt's obesity genes/habits and my cousin has my…

SW: 198lbs CW: 188lbs GW: 135-140lbs Medium to large frame. 5'6". I'm not really set on a particular number.

You'd honestly be better off taking them to a tailor to see if it can be done. It might be worth the cost if they can fit it for you; usually cheaper than buying new clothes! If you're not a seamstress, it'd be very easy to muck up .. and a machine is usually very helpful if you do try.

Nutella. :| :'( I can't keep it in the house. I just can't.

Oysters. I am dying to try them but terrified of the texture. Next month my SO is taking me to Santa Barbara for our anniversary and I am DETERMINED to try them!

Congratulations! I dream of doing that one day; great job!

Water weight is still weight, IMO. It's not fat loss, but it's the a number on the scale that makes up your weight. I counted it. I'm constantly gaining and losing water weight, so I see no difference. If the scale is less, I count it. :p

It motivates me. :) Even when I see an increase, it tells me I need to drink more water, watch my calories more closely and sweat it out. I weigh daily, to see the fluctuations. The scale isn't my enemy. There will come a time where you continually "gain" or don't lose at all; that can be very disheartening if the scale is…

Just remember that you would have to eat an insane amount of calories to actually gain. A pound is 3,500 calories in and of itself. I can't really reach that even on my really bad days! Even so, the body has a lot of fluctuations. I weigh myself every day and sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm the same, and sometimes, I…

Same. Lots of judgment, everywhere, for overuse of body spray. Bleh. I don't judge anyone at the gym except in a positive manner. The only time I look at anyone else is when I think, "Damn it, move faster, me - I want legs like hers! Look at those legs!", not to judge what they're doing wrong or how irritating it is. I…
