I used to love the night shift for eating healthy. Although I worked alone. Since noting was open, I had no choice but to bring my food and it would be easier for me to stick with healthy choices. I suggest making food a few days in advance and then bringing them in. Making in advance makes it easier, but you could always…

Logic tells me that can't be true. Not trying to sound like a dick, but just thinking that if it was in the pan and wasn't consumed, you gotta count it separately. It would mean either taking it off the bacon (which I don't think would be correct) or adding it to the chicken (but not sure how you'd measure that).

Thanks for the kind words and good to know others have similar experiences. I have lost a little bit since I've been focusing, but its kinda stalled now. When I originally started MFP 100 days ago, I was 253 lbs. The heaviest I've ever been. I lost 24 lbs in three months, then gained back 15 when I got sick, then got lazy.…

Well It depends on who you ask. Diet Coke contains aspartame that is used as the sweetener. There have been a lot of discussions around how bad that is for you and there are a lot of studies that show some bad things that are linked to it. I don't have those studies handy, but I have a read a few. I too am a Coca Cola…

There is no such thing as starvation mode

Not when they in-law is talking directly to you in an insulting manner. I agree there should be some tact on how things are said, but I would let them know that there are more benefits than their perceived notion of what you should look like, and if that doesn't help with the conversation, then to mention that it really is…

I weigh daily only because I'm a little obsessive, but only log weekly.

I'd just go with whatever it weighs in the wrapper, seems easier to me. How much cheese do you actually lose to the wrapper and how many calories would that be in difference? Probably negotioable.

Killer claws dude

I think whole wheat bread is fine. At least I've been told so. I don't like to buy bread in the supermarkets though, unless its bakery made. I like to make my own as well since I know whats in it. Find some recipes for healthy bread and make it at home. Homemade bread tastes so much better IMO.

The fail in the OP posts just doesn't end. You need to lose 80, have already lost 60, and still have another 80 to lose? Math, along with hiding things, is not your strong suit.

Oh damn! Well put them in the trunk of your car, in something to hide and take them to the gas station trash bin or something lol. [/quote] Finally an idea lol. That's actually brilliant since I have one right next door :) [/quote] I'm sorry, but you needed someone on a forum to tell you how to hide eggs from your kids?…

They leave eggs for the Bunny...you mean like leaving cookies for Santa type thing? Why would that mean you had to eat them? Am I missing something here? I assume that you will remove them while they are sleeping so that they think the Easter Bunny took them? This doesn't seem that hard to me... Just get rid of them.

I've read that a tablespoon in a glass of water in the morning and night, everyday, helps the liver

I always get the Skinny Vanilla Latte. Order a short if you like, it the smallest size I think. I get a grande which is the second largest and its only 120 cals.

* I'm not using this as an excuse. I gain wait when my wife is pregnant. Obviously I am not doing what I should and I own that. Was just asking to see if others fell into the same bad habits during this time.

I don't get home from work in time to cook, unfortunately just is reality. I used to cook all the time and have no problem doing so. I wasn't blaming it on her nausea, and in fact said that I need to show more restraint, so I'll take your "man up" advice with a grain of salt. She is a lot of the reason it's tough to cook…

So you're not a virgin... hmm ... not the rules of the game my friend

False I have never driven a truck

Your profile says you are trying to lose weight for your sons? Are they adopted?

True I've never eaten snake meat

FALSE I've never jumped out of a plane

True, don't even know what that is. I've never had a cold sore

I have an UP24 to count my steps. My goal every day is 7500, but thats mainly because I work a desk job and its hard to get away to get the steps in. I do go for walks everyday on my lunch break and that usually helps me get in my steps, but I have only ever gone over 10,000 a few times. I've been looking at getting a…
