  • Eat before you go... and only enjoy the cake. For me, eating high protein and high fiber foods REALLY helps... keeps me from feeling hungry. Only other thing I'd say is that you are not a failure because its obvious to me you have been trying. You are here for starters and... even with the holiday you've only gained 4 lbs…
  • As hilarious as this thread is... Any person (male or female) that could accept their loved one having an emotional relationship besides the current one makes me question their morals... but hey I'm not your judge or jury so like someone else said do whatever makes you happy cause you are the one that has to deal with the…
  • The fact that you are asking this question leads me to believe you know its wrong... but you want someone to agree with you.
  • I've lost 60 lbs and only down 2 jean sizes... was almost to 3 jeans sizes down and found out I was pregnant! Seriously devastated me... I was almost out of plus sizes! BUT I still have my head on straight most days and have been making good choices through these past 8 months... 6 more weeks to go and back on track should…
  • I am up about 10 lbs from my last weight in about 2 weeks ago, but like others have said I ate what I wanted at Christmas and I enjoyed every bit of it. I know I didn't eat 35000 calories and I know I didn't have as much activity as I would on normal days. Today I am back on track eating high protein and lower carb foods,…
  • I hope you do thank god for him! he sounds pretty damn amazing!! I will be cooking this year, our families first Christmas in this new home :) Won't have anything amazing but I do hope they like my peach cobbler and apple pie!
  • I'm up at 5:15 on weekdays and 7 if I'm lucky on the weekends. I would like to be able to workout in the mornings but at this time it just doesn't work. I have a little one to get up, get him dressed, washed up and to Daycare by 7:15 so I can start work at 7:30. (And I'll be having 2 little ones to get ready in about 2…
  • My co-worker called in sick :)
  • Chicken Noodles and Mashed Potatoes--- IF we are talking food... A long uninterrupted nap--- IF we aren't talking food...
  • I don't without my 3 year old present, but I do like certain ones that he watches. He LOVES Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Woody Woodpecker and of course Mickey Mouse.
  • Joining the gym back in January was brand new for me, very scary at first. I stayed in the women's workout room for about a month. I then pushed myself to go to a boot camp class 3 times a week, and the Zumba twice a week. I really enjoyed all of it, after a while... I sometimes take a little warming up to get used to the…
  • We all have to start somewhere... I started at 294, after 8 months I've lost 66lbs. For me the biggest thing was the emotional part of weight loss, figuring out why I felt I needed to hide my horrible eating habits and dealing with that... still dealing with it in fact. This is a long process and there will be bad days but…
  • Seeing as you hardly ever actually know someone's IQ.... uh I like em smert...
  • First smile was because my son woke up and snuggled me tight saying "I missed you mommy" Second smile was at work... my co-worker is very anxious and odd, has a very hard time talking to new people. (Xanax helps...) It made me smile when a young client came to our office and asked him if he'd ever experienced anxiety. I…
  • I have this printed on my desk at work and right above the light switch in my room. I hope it helps you too. I Promise Myself I Will… 1. Care for my body in a loving way, always remembering I treat those things I love, well. 2. Maintain a balance in my nutrition and exercise, allowing my body to be healthy, strong and the…
  • This!!!! Every single young girl I see that seems to be lusting after a baby and all their "wonderfulness" this is exactly what I tell them. Don't get me wrong, I love my son and I love being a mom but your whole way of thinking changes when you have a little one. They are first and you are somewhere there after, if you…
  • Like others have said, weight loss is a sensitive topic and some people just chose not to say anything rather than possibly offend you. Took about 30lbs for some people to comment on my weight loss. Keep it up, no doubt the important people in your life will comment when they see how proud you are of yourself.
  • :) Love it when hard work pays off and you actually start to enjoy it! Great Job!
  • My fitbit and MFP seem to be at least within 100 calories of each other, which in my book is darn good... I use the fitbit to see if I'm "in the zone" I try not be to under budget but there are days I am and days I'm over budget. I think other than being a motivator the fitbit calculates your TDEE and helps me know how…
  • So many breakfast foods that are SO VERY GOOD but so full of fat! Up for recipes also, wish I had one to contribute.
  • Let him tell the secret... its likely not a lot of other men will listen or believe him ;)
  • As some others have said it all depends.... My son, I hug and kiss and cuddle him constantly and he cuddles me back also. We are very lovey with each other but he is only 3 :) (hopefully never grows out of snuggling his momma) With adults... it must be someone I'm very close to, intimately or emotionally... my close…
  • I drink protein shakes to help me feel more full and reach my protein goals. If you stay in a calorie deficit it won't matter if you drink a shake or eat a meal you'll still lose.
  • Hasn't happened but a few times, compliments, not really being "hit on" and yes it was very nice. I have a friend at work that "hits" on me, he's married and knows I'd never take the bait so he's just a flirt. Which makes us both smile. :)
  • Couldn't go down the slide at the park with my 3 year old. Doctor told me I have PCOS and it would be difficult to have any more children. THIS was it... I've wanted to be a mom since I was a little girl. It was seriously the only thing that I ever wanted in life and to have something within my control threaten my ability…
  • Best answer yet! I run because it feels so awesome to run further and faster each time... Plus I have a 3 year old boy and another on the way. I want to really challenge them to a race!
  • That's what you get for thinking ;)
  • Hey.... I might actually pay for those. Long as they are caramel and chocolate!
