That is what I thought would be explained...thnx for taking the time to do so. Still not for me though. Cheers!

My question is this: Why vegan (or vegetarian)? I do not understand why people choose to be vegetarian or vegan. I know it's not for me though. I am not judging one bit....many times I have shared a cheese pizza or a black-bean burger (which tastes amazingly like a chili burger - hold the ground beef) with a vegetarian…

Two words...Pro-tein

Mumbled to myself... OK fat *kitten*, lets do this. or You know you always feel better after a workout than the regret you feel for passing up the opportunity.

mini pretzels and real (not fake) french onion dip with a bourbon chaser

5 pounds is awesome... 54 more would be epic. Be epic! You didn't gain over the holidays - I wonder how many would trade places with you to be able to say that. I have some awesome recipes that are low cal, filling, and delicious. Message me if you want them.

Ditto above... I had surgery with a 10 month recovery... before I was allowed to do anything more strenuous than walking. I just watched my calories and if I was going to go over, I made sure I ate the most luxurious thing I could because why go over eating something that is "meh"

Hi. I have lost 75 pounds and kept it off. I work out 3 to 5 times per week...have great recipes...and I keep a small friends list so I can be supportive. Add me if you want. P.S. Many of my MFP friends are workout beasts! You should check them out as well.

All ingredients in except the shrimp. Time to simmer... Add more veggies if you want...

I lost 75 pounds in 18 months... Atkins...did this diet first. Lost 35 pounds fast. Missed pasta bad! Switched to: Weight watchers...did this diet 2nd. Lost 15 more pounds. Missed real food with fat in it bad. Switched to: Diet and Exercise...lost last 25 pounds doing this. Felt great. No diet other than counting calories…

Single, double, and triple hernia here...my weight lifting days are over. The open inguinal hernia repair took me almost 10 months before I could do a decent workout. Now I am big into cycling, spinner classes when the weather is foul out, working on my farm (come help me cut, split, stack wood!), and running. Add me if…

Exactly! I have been using the gym for several years - weights/cardio - especially in foul weather. On a whim I tried a spinner class. Love it! I can't wait for the next one. I am sure I will be tired of it someday and I am not sure what the replacement will be.

My profile pic is all I can post from work...srry. As far as motivation goes...when you start losing weight you will:* find new energy that you did not have before * be able to do things you could not do before * will gain a new feeling - pride - because of your progress * buy new clothes because the old ones that fit so…

My whole family loves this lasagna recipe http://apple-of-my-eye.com/2013/08/25/skillet-lasagna/# Just leave out the sausage and maybe add a bit more cheese? I also put the noodles on the bottom and the meat on the top. I also add a bit more water or the noodles take forever to get soft. Use OVEN READY noodles. Cheers :-)

I need a project - so I can mentor one or two. Been at maintenance for a long time after losing 75 pounds. I have great recipes and am very active. I regretfully cancelled my old MFP account after I hit maintenance...it was Go_Mizzou99. Been on MFP for about 4 or 5 years now.

I tried not counting after I hit goal...slowly, over time, weight crept back on. 5 to 8 pounds. I tried this twice...failed both times. Put me in the "Logging for life" category.

Cheese is filling... cake and bagels...that would be a not filling category. Without looking at your diary, I would suggest a big helping of protein and cut way way back on the bagels and cake...especially the cake. Also - you have been doing this for 3-4 years - yet you are doing the same thing and expecting a different…

My experience...losing 75 pounds Atkins - weight fell off...35 pounds in 3 months got bored with low carb - wanted spaghetti bad - switched to: Weight Watchers - weight still came off (about 15-20 pounds) albeit at a slower rate because the easy Fatty McFaty weight was already gone with Atkins got bored with low fat diet…

Your friend will finally (or not) hit that trigger point that will make them finally take the plunge. In the mean time, keep leading by example and continue to answer all questions with the respect that you have been displaying. Another idea is to make a really good low-cal meal - but does not look or taste that way - and…

still reading every question/response and random post...just saying :-)

My longest plateau, when losing 75 pounds in 18 months, was six (6) weeks. Yup - 6 whole weeks without losing a pound. HOWEVER I was measuring chest, belly, hips and saw the inches still melting away, so I plodded on with diet and exercise until the plateau was finally over. Hang in there!

@LittleHearseDriver - I have two more questions please... What's something about dead bodies that would surprise most people? When you hear about cases where a guy wakes up alive in a bodybag or a morgue freezer, has there been a mistake made by someone, or is it actually possible for a body to exhibit no vital signs at…

Bumping my old recipe - this one is too good to pass up. This recipe is a little labor intensive, but it does make 4 meals. I originally posted it months ago and we still make it at least 2 or 3 times a month. I usually make a double batch and freeze the extra. It reheats fine and tastes as good as fresh. The only…

I was on here for a long time as Go_Mizzou99 and lost 75 pounds...After I hit goal and went into maintenance, I got lazy after a few months said "I got this!" What I found out is when I quit logging, I gain, and when I log, I don't (except between Thanksgiving and New Years :) ) So I came back a little over a year ago (I…

I made it through this whole thread...just got to the end and hit refresh to make sure. Great thread OP!!! Yes - count me in on the book pre-order. Now for my two questions: How hot is the fire used for cremation? and When you cremate someone, does smoke come out of the chimney?

I breath heavy while using my neck-based sound-pipe and a wire-thingy with a big ball, almost in my mouth, and a box-like loud thingamabob.

One word - moderation - AND pop tarts are just fine in moderation. I lost 75 pounds drinking beer and bourbon the whole time. I just counted the calories and either burned them off or left room for them in my daily calorie intake. I guess I could have lost my weight faster than 18 months if I gave up liquor, but why…

My favorite is the "pelvic thrust" assisted curl. 1. Butt way way back, bar hanging with too much weight 2. Rapidly pelvic thrust into bar and arch back/head way way back 3. Grimace all the way up 3. No resistance on release...just drop the bar 4. repeat 5. about every 4th pelvic thrust assisted curl...let out a grunt/yell…
