  • Wouldn't the correct word be "you're"? My kid is not yet in school but I plan on making meals the night before to ensure less chaos in the mornings. For work I always make meals on Sunday then freeze or refrigerate as necessary.
  • Woot! Woot! Grats on the chin-up! Last weekend I gained 3 pounds from all my stress eating... Then I found out I had to work 12 - 14 hour shifts six days this week plus another 6 hours on Saturday. I was tempted to just give up but after much thought I just buckled down, spent ALL day Sunday prepping meals for the next…
  • Because this is the internet. Although you may be using one tone to describe how you feel or what you're thinking or anything else, in the end the message is still only in text form and someone else may read it in an entirely different tone. Not trying to be snarky at all. Originally came in with the intention of giving…
  • It's a healthy alternative for those not wishing to eat meat. Although it may not have meat in it, it is still delicious and can be treated the same as a burger such as putting the patty on a bun and eating the desired condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, tomato, lettuce, etc) with it.
  • 8 pounds lost so far in two weeks and today, at work, I felt my underwear fall halfway down my bottom. :o
  • For the past four years I haven't done much except play video games for 12+ hours, eat fast food, and my daily exercise has been a walk to the fridge or bathroom. Two weeks ago I decided to get in shape and during that time I've spent a maximum total of just ONE hour on the games. I feel so much more productive! Also, my…
  • Years ago I told my husband to just 'man up and speak the truth' if I ever let myself go. Then a couple weeks ago he looked me up and down and stated "It'd be nice if you lost 30 pounds." Told him "Eh, we'll see." Joined a gym, stepped on the scale, and discovered at 5"2' I was 168 pounds. 30 pounds? Nope! I plan on losing…
  • Haha, um, would it make it worse if I said the trainer I worked with is also the owner of the gym? I will definitely work on lifting. Eating a deficit has thus far not proved to be a problem so I'll continue with that. Thanks.
  • I started out at 5'2" and 168 lbs to which I recieved a unanimous "That's a perfectly healthy weight!" from all but three of my family members. One of the three went so far as to say "Well, you can try but what's the point? You'll just fail." The other two have thankfully been supportive but I haven't lost much yet. Either…
  • Ah, I get it now. Thank you for the clarification.
  • I like that site! Thanks! Only question I have is about "also cut your exercise down to 50-75% of machine burns / MFP database as they overestimate (you can double click and overwrite the calories when you enter exercise) ...then eat them back". What do you mean by that?
  • My goals are to preferably lose 2 lbs a week and one day be down to roughly 120 lbs give or take a couple depending on how I feel a that time.
  • Thanks for website! It definitely looks like a good place to start. And right now a gym is really my only option. There are certain unavoidable obstacles that are unfortunately preventing me from staying home. Normally though, I would definitely agree. Might just look into the trackers / monitors because everyone seems to…
  • I'll start doing this. Thank you for the tip.
  • Thank you for posting this. I can't stop coming back to it so it's officially the first (and only one thus far) post to be in my bookmarks.
