Sorry, but I have to agree with ^^^. It sounds like these ladies have good intentions. They aren't mind readers. If you utilize that time as your own time, freakin say THAT. Don't scare anyone off with cold eyes.

I started at 151lbs and am down 1 pound!

Current Weight: 151 lbs Overall Goal: 139 lbs August Goal: 143 lbs I want to begin strength training 3x/week.

Hi, everyone. I'm Cyndi from TX, USA. I need to lose about 12 more pounds to be a healthy BMI, and I'm not sure how much more I'll lose from there.

I forgot about McDonald's oatmeal. It's awesome! Get some.

Seeing this made my stomach growl. It looks delicious. I haven't had a McMuffin in years. Now that I know they're only 300 calories I'm getting one first thing tomorrow! I especially like the part of bacon that "may contain heavy metals". \m/ (>_<) \m/ Great thread, OP!

Would I lost weight because I'm throwing up so much? Or because I'd lose my appetite?

I'm also 5'3". After losing 20lbs, I love my 24 inch thighs, too! They don't rub together anymore! OP: Idk if you have "strong thighs", but I didn't. They were fat and jiggly and they hurt...a lot. I never measured them before, but they were really big. I can't tell you what your body will do, but I know that weight loss…

I'm sorry you went through that. Something similar happened to one of my friends after she'd lost over 100#. She was eating at a fast food place and a stranger angrily and loudly started calling her names and degrading her for being obese. When she defended herself and started yelling back, the restaurant threatened to…

I agree with Jeff. Handling the situation directly (and respectfully) shows that you demand respect for yourself and are a capable problem-solver. Going to HR without trying to handle the situation first makes you look like a person who likes to stir up trouble. I would email her (so you have documentation if it happens…

Happy Anniversary! That was a great story!

Today I'm at 161.2 17 lbs to go!

I forgot I joined this group! Starting weight on MFP: 179.4 Starting weight on 4/6: 164.8 Goal Weight for Challenge: 144.8 Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-ish Lbs to Lose: 34

I squeeze lemon juice and shake pepper onto my salads. So far, everyone that tries it likes it.

She's right. If I wasn't working out (to dvd's at home) in the morning then I wasn't working out at all. For me, it isn't about "making excuses", though. Mothers are busy. We have too much to do at night, and if I work out at night, I have to wait until the kids are in bed, then shower, then blow dry my hair, etc. It…

This is really good advice, but if Dude is pissed over an innocent picture then he'd probably get crazy about someone taking sexy pics of her. IJS Jealousy in a relationship gets worse over time. Don't let it escalate. I would make it known that I won't tolerate that abuse ever again (and mean it).

I eat when I'm bored, and I love sweets. I understand the urge to eat when you're bored. If I were in your place and I didn't take a bag, I'd give into the vending machine. It's not nutritious, but I've been eating pickles as a snack. It helps. I also find that a spoonful of Peter Pan whipped PB helps a lot. It's lower…

My office is always trying to stuff our faces! I've gained 15 pounds since I started working here last year. It doesn't help that I'm sitting almost all day long. I've always had a desk job, but I've managed to stay active, too. What is the C25K app? I've seen other people mention that.

This is really good advice. I wouldn't recommend those stupid wraps to anyone trying to lose weight, but I think your case is exactly what they're for. I've used them before, and they really do work, but only for a day or two. The wrap, along with the spray tan, would give you a temporary solution to boost your confidence…

You make a great point. On the few occasions that I drink, I really am a lot more active. When I was trying to lose weight for my wedding a couple of years ago, I concluded through a friend's drunk story that I would get a harder workout if I had a shot or a beer before a workout. (I realize that may not have been the…

Also, I replaced rice in my diet with couscous. I have to say, I prefer it over rice any day.

I was just drooling over this Buzzfeed article the other day. I have not tried any of them, yet, but I will as soon as I go to the grocery store. Cauliflower Tortillas? Yes, please! I've also had several friends post pictures of homemade gluten-free pizza similar to the one in this article. They all say it's delicious.…

Remember that your body burns calories while you sit or sleep. You'll be fine. Don't wear yourself out.
