I love the people who circle the gym parking lot three times looking for a good parking spot, then go inside and hit the treadmill.

I cheated and had pizza tonight. Now for some reason, the diet gods are smiling me with the ibs flare up from hell.

For what is worth... Baby steps are fine I guess. Seems to work for some people. Both times I've lost weight, I went with the "total earth shattering change" method. Fits my personality better. My point is, there are many ways to de-fat a cat. Try to find one that fits you and that you enjoy.

Yes. Brought back memories. :'(

You are nicer than me. I would have rubbed the pretzels all over my armpit or something and put them back.

Yes, I've been there, as most of the posters here have. I'm sorry you had a bad night... But maybe it's a good thing. Keep that picture. Hang it on your mirror. Use it as fuel to make a change. Good luck! You can do it!

I always equate girl to guy, not so much boy, but i see your point.

As a guy, muscle tone on a woman is dead sexy. I used to rock climb at a climbing gym, and those girls were incredible.

From a weight loss standpoint, a calorie burned is a calorie burned. From a cardio strengthening standpoint, you need to get your heart rate up to do that, which also burns more calories.

I would love to do that. Is there a major airport nearby?

That's freaking awesome. Now what works be really funny is if you were under goal, but wanted a snack, so you seduced him just so you could eat something.

Me try for a six pack? Lol. I have to get rid of the keg first. From what I understand, one has to get to very low body fat, and then bulk muscle, to pull off a six pack. I have a feeling I'll be contented with my appearance before that point. But who knows?

Next time he is craving sex, tell him no. Then do it yourself in front of him.

I really don't see myself doing that. Way too hard for nothing but a Vanity gain. Good luck though!

Yeah, cycling rowing and swimming I'd say. If you can't do that, I guess you could design some sort of really intense hiit upper body circuit to get a cardio burn.

I love mfp. It's like various offshoots of the same religion squabbling over doctrine. You have the orthodox faith (calorie counters) with paleo, low carb, timing, fasting, pull taking, offshoots.

I hit 200lbs around 11 or 12. Of course, I'm 6'4 now, and was over six feet then, but yeah, I was a fattie back then. To the op... Based on my own experience as a fat kid, nothing is really going to change until he decides to change. My parents tried the following... Shame (I still cringe when I remember being told that if…

My hands go numb when in doing the squat portion of body pump. I guess because my hands are up above my heart. My hands also go numb when I read laying down though.

Ah, my bad. I failed to take such logistical considerations into account.

So... You clicked on a thread about the show SOLEY to be sanctimonious. Congratulations, we all tip our hats to your superior moral fiber. ;)

I'm confused... Why wear clothes at all if it's in your house? Naked cardio sounds liberating.

Yeah, I logged it. A 2200 calorie meal. Of course, I had a diet soda with it.

Trainer assigned lifting 3 days a week. Body pump twice a week. Body combat twice a week. Yoga twice a week. Rowing or eliptical on non class days.

So I work managing a diner. Someone left one of those little pocket scales drug dealers use to weigh weed at a table. It has since become my work food scale.

I actually had to get permission from my boss to wear my fitbit, because any "jewelry" violates the uniform policy.

Here's One for the men... Remember the episode of Seinfeld where kramer and mr costanza invent the bro, or the manserrie? (bra for men.) I half thought that was a good idea. I hate my he-hooters.

I took lex for a couple years, zoloft now. I haven't noticed any weight changes either way really.

This is the one reason items to disagree with the "everything in moderation" aid around here. I find, after awhile, you stop craving things if you don't eat them. Giving me a slice of pizza is like giving an alcoholic a shot of whiskey. Hell, yesterday, I was just dying to have a salad. Are you freaking kidding me? I…

I just cut my calories from 2700 to 2250. Now I love my mother, but id push her down a flight of stairs for a pizza right now.
