Fake smiles that you know are fake...

Cayenne pepper in hot chocolate!

^^^^^^^ THIS!! It is frustrating... but it won't last forever. You're doing a great job, keep it up!

^^^^^ THIS!

Back in my day we didn't skip school because everyone in town knew your parents and they would be calling them ASAP. Back in my day my brother and I had knock down drag out fist fights and no one got locked up, just sent to bed without dinner.

Not the lab coats, not the needle... for whatever unexplained reason I have this idea that what they say is in that shot isn't really in it... or what if the dose is stronger than what they think... I don't know.. BUT I understand it is pretty irrational for me to think that way and I get vaccinations and flu shots anyways…

So if you throw in the towel now, how many weeks/months/years until you try again? How many more lbs might be gained by then? I also have been at the same weight for 2 weeks now, working out an hour a day 6 days a week... Sucks when nothing is coming off but giving up isn't going to do any good either. Have your cheat if…

I eat bread daily... depends on what you buy... if you buy something with no nutritional value that's what you'll get. If you buy whole wheat, high fiber, low calorie... that's what you'll get. But I've always liked wheat better than white so maybe that's just an added plus for me.

That isn't what he asked but hey... comment away...

started at 294, went down a size at 30lbs lost but probably could have at 20.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.... Try something different. Try to be open to new suggestions. Find your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) and subtract calories from that number not just what MFP sets up for you... Nutrition is different for everyone, MFP is…

this.. Like another said you could try going at less busy time to start and to get yourself more comfortable. I know for the first 2 months at the gym I stayed in the women's workout room and never left... then I ventured into the main open area. Still very cautious but I AM THERE FOR ME... so everyone besides my trainer…

That's all?!?! Great Job!!!!

The ability to re-educate the world.... on so many topics.... and eliminate False advertisements.

Got my first tat on my 20th birthday, walked like 5 miles to the dang parlor too... Had wanted a tat for a long time, found what I wanted at 17 but promised myself I'd give it a few years to make sure I'd still like it. Walked up to the parlor with my boyfriend and we both got a tat on that day. Don't know how to attach…

Peter... you should be kicked for reviving this thread.

I agree with you on the shakes as far as a person not learning what real food you'll need to eat in order to maintain the weight loss, but I drink them because they taste good. They help me get my protein, and they are convenient... I buy the Bolthouse farms already bottled shakes, I also buy they shakes my gym makes and…

Depends on your goals... I, like you, (I think) want to lose weight first, then tone up. As I get closer to my goal I pay more attention to the macro's because at that point I'll be trying to build muscle.

If you are going to use different scales know that not all are the same. Just like clothing sizes. This.

OP I have certainly experienced what you have mentioned... anyone that goes to a commercial gym probably has... People here are going to turn and twist your words and make this about your ego... that's just how some people amuse themselves. There are people I think that are just ignorant of the correct way to lift, then…

Didn't see your post when I posted mine.. sorry. Not my desk... the bathroom on the other side of the wall. :(

Kegels. Won't burn anything extra but is it the only exercise you might be able to do without anyone seeing and/or noticing.

Seeing my boyfriend holding and kissing our newborn baby. Knowing my 4 year old adores his baby brother so much he comes home from daycare busting in the house to see him, saying "Where's my brother?" Watching my orchid bloom (which takes months) Planting things with my son Rose bushes and flowering trees Seeing my mother…

Maybe try a protein shake after the workout, something you can just sip on but its still putting good stuff in your body. Or if you like nuts they are great for you after workouts and good brain food.

Some many things to quote here... If you really do take this as a lifestyle change then she won't be able to ignore the fact that it has worked for you, you have maintained it and she was wrong... But like you already know this will take some time, so until then just smile at her as your muscles are sore and your body…

You say your eating habits are not on point. That's where I'd start. Log everything, get a food scale and weigh it all until you really know what is a true serving size. See what results that brings in a month.

For some reason MFP isn't letting me quote but... You can be happy or right you pick. People don't learn until they fail or succeed. If I could quote it would be these two statements, you can't change anyone else's mind. The beauty and agony of freewill...

Lord of the Panties! I'm sure its been said but I'm not looking through all 17 pages to quote it. Horrible Panties

Yes, but only now that I have a fitbit and I have more of an understanding of how many of those exercise calories I should eat back. Love when I see the green bar that says "in the zone" :smiley:
