We have the same picture. We're cool.

Yeah I hadn't had very many problems with my knees lately until last week when my boxer was at the vet having teeth removed. She was put under sedation and I waited with her until she woke up and probably took her home too early because I had to carry her to and from the car. Mind you, I'm a 4'11 midget.

Jeez that sounds terrible. This is another reason I don't want to join. That and I don't want to be obligated to send screen shots of my steps every day. Also, I'm poor and that money can go toward dog food. Big dogs ain't cheap! Plus I've already made the joke about putting the pedometer on your dog's collar.

Ok that's actually not wrong! I do often complain of my geriatric knees. I bought glucosamine earlier this week. It's believable!

This just might be the ticket. Thank you!

This is what I'm saying. I'd even get pompoms if I had to.

Ok I guess y'all didn't catch my mild sarcasm in my original post. Mostly, I'm dealing with older ladies and I don't even want to mention weight lifting because even my own mother scoffs at weight lifting because it isn't a "lady-like" thing to do and I'll get "too muscular". (I am not muscular at all). Basically I want a…

I'm fine with the challenge. I think it's great. I just don't personally get that many steps in on most days. I still walk my dogs but it isn't 10k a day. I just don't want to sound like Chris Farley in Tommy Boy asking about the weight room.

I'm saying if I forego weight lifting and then only do what maximizes my steps, I will definitely lose muscle.

"My problem is I don't eat enough"

100 Calories:

I'm still on the whole "butter in coffee is good for you" claim

Back when I had a fitbit, I felt like it gave me too many extra calories back so I unsynced it. That was about 3 years ago, though. Maybe they've changed.

Can you swim with a broken foot?

^^ This. He's ain't wrong. :-) Also I only feel like I look good when I'm lifting weights and have muscle filling me out in the good spots.

Mmm cookies and ice cream are the best. I feel like once I eat them, I want more. I also find that if I wait a while to eat, like skipping breakfast, I get hungry less and crave less crap. That's me, though and I don't know if that's healthy or not but it's what I'm doing right now. I don't know if you like those little…

I watched the entire series in about a week. I liked it in a guilty pleasure type of way. Patty was a terrible person but so were most of the people. Bob (the pageant coach, Bob) was awesome. Basically everyone in the show had some sort of insecurity and those insecurities collectively caused chaos within that small town…

I get this too when I run first thing in the morning. I've read to eat something small beforehand but I never do it. It's only noticeable once I get in the shower afterward. I just had blood work done last week and nothing abnormal so I don't worry about it.

Unless you've changed your weight in MFP, it's going to assume you're still at the same weight and give you the same metrics.

Same way I weigh my dog. Weigh myself and then weigh myself holding the dog and figure the difference. Except with you, measure the bowl first then add the ice cream and take the difference. Also weight is grams.

I hate being around people and workout DVDs. You may be more of a social person than I am but sometimes I watch Netflix on my phone while I'm on the treadmill if I'm just walking. When I'm running or lifting weights I like music that makes me want to punch someone. Getting hopped up on caffeine and loud music makes…

I hate people and I love being alone so I always do stuff around the house. Paint a room, plant some flowers, turn the music on loud and have dog dance parties (I jump around and they chase my feet). Also I like going to thrift stores and finding random things to repurpose. I painted my ceiling in my bedroom on 4th of…

If it's like my Fitbit it counts calories, including your BMR. So even if you don't wear it, it says you've burned whatever your BMR is.

They all made their way to my newsfeed on Facebook. I keep them around to laugh at them.

I quit doing vegetable gardens because I was the only one that ate the stuff and it actually cost more than buying the vegetables for one person, BUT I'm going to plant Jack-be-little pumpkins this summer just for the fun of it and because I love Halloween. I do have a Meyer lemon tree that I got this year though and it's…

"Thrive." That's it. Just Thrive. Maybe I spend too much time on Facebook. And I guess "Premium Nutrition" goes right along with that.

Eggs, any way. I get a frozen bag of sliced up peppers and onions and make omelets with those sometimes. Doesn't take long. Sometimes I take greek yogurt to work with frozen bagged fruit and maybe a sprinkle of dry oatmeal in it. By the time I get to work the frozen fruit is thawed. Bananas don't freeze well though. Frozen…

I suspect some people are terrible at estimating. I suggest a scale. I'm 4'11 and <100lbs and I'd lose weight if I only ate 1000 calories a day.

Good for you. I did that once and caught *kitten* because I wasn't "fat" before. How dare I be proud of bettering myself?! Eh, screw those guys.
