I don't get thirsty, but I pretty much have to drink a goodly amount of water each day. If I don't, I get some pretty severe muscle cramps mostly at night. I can actually feel it in my muscles like the cramps are just waiting for their chance to pounce at an inopportune time. Also, I find that if I drink about 16 oz. say…

Since you didn't include pictures, I creeped your profile in hopes of finding some. Luckily there were a few. Too bad you didn't include them because they really show the results of your fantastic journey. Great job!!

I like to have a Kroger Carbmaster and a Fuji apple.

If I want pizza, I'll go get one, eat a couple of slices, give the rest away, call it a cheat day and move on.

The last whiskey I tried, about two years ago, was George Dickel and I really liked it.

Thank you. Unfortunately, most of us wait until the relationship is long gone to do this sort of thing.

After my second divorce I didn't want to date for quite a while. Then one day I decided I needed to have a long talk with myself. I knew what my complaints were about them, but I felt I really needed to sit down and take a look at their complaints about me. Hard to do? You betcha! But I did it. I changed the things that I…

My sense is that MFP is too generous on it's calorie burns. To the rare extent that I exercise, I found that eating back about half of the estimated calorie burn comes out about right.

GREAT first post!

It's probably some of that, but mostly water and daily scale variances.

Life is too short to drink light beer. I'll have me a scotch ale and adjust my diary to fit. Here's to you!

Don't fight it, accommodate it. Just set up your last meal as a snack (I do mine at about 8:30 to 9:30), enter a reasonable snack in and then build the rest of your diary with the remaining calories. Also, changing meal times helped me here. Breakfast at 9, lunch at 1 and dinner at 6. Maybe put more of your calories into…

Awesomeness!! I couldn't help noticing that you were only smiling in one picture, and it's a good one. Haven't you earned the right to smile continuously?

People that say Eye-talian or Tie-ota. Seriously people, consider suicide so others don't have to be subjected to your stupidity.

There are people that want me dead!!

Because the boogie man is gonna use face recognition software and get you!!! Actually, mine is real.

I don't keep anything in the house that I can just grab and eat except fruits, vegetables and carbmaster. That way if I'm gonna grab something, it will at least be good for me and not wreck my limits too badly. Otherwise I have to fix something to eat. That slows me down a bit.

Funny I should see this today and I was thinking about the same thing since it was my day for my yearly checkup. With my shoes, clothes and all the stuff in my pocket on I weighed 11 pounds more than I did at home. It bothered me that that would be what's recorded, but didn't think it really mattered because I knew what…

Back in my day... P. E. was required every day in elementary school, Jr. high and high school.

Back in my day... My parents, aunts and uncles were young adults during the prohibition days. Man the stories they told!

Don't fight it; accommodate it. Add a meal in your MFP log and call it snacks. Then whatever snacks you want, load them first, then build the rest of your meals around it. Just don't go too heavy on the snacks or you won't have room for B, L & D. Good luck!!

Back in my day... I worked in an auto supply and had to hand write all of our tickets, add them up and figure out the sales tax ourselves. It made me really quick with math though!

I did both. Gave all the unhealthy stuff to my local food bank and started replacing with the good stuff. My guilty pleasure is almost anything I can pop in my mouth without cooking. I make sure none of that stuff is in the house.

Back in my day... if you got into mischief that wasn't too bad, the cops or the fire chief brought you home and ratted you out. Yes... I am speaking from experience.

Okay, who are you and how do you know my mother? :) And we had to eat all of it too.

Two 8 oz. glasses of water about 20 - 30 minutes before I eat. Weigh/measure and log everything!! I allow myself a cheat day only if I lose weight. When I was here before, this motivated me more than anything else, and it worked too until I stopped weighing/measuring and logging.

Back in my day... my girlfriend and I worked in Sy & Syl's hamburger stand with a big 19 cents sign above it. Then... McDonald's came to town.

Back in my day... a skateboard was a pair of roller skates nailed to a piece of 2 X 4.

Unless he stops you again, I'd ignore it and move on. Remember that he let you off. I'm glad you didn't come back with a smart remark like some have suggested. All that would have done is gotten you the ticket for sure.
