Ack double post.

No walking or standing up for 5 weeks? Yikes!!!

In my experience OP parents don't become "obsessed" unless there is a concern. Is your diary open? Perhaps they are concerned about how much or what you're eating?

Y'all always run off the help

You had me at carafe of wine

crush them with your thighs! sorry a joke I saw on Pinterest.

OMG he ate this? See what I mean man. A photo means nothing!

So silly to take a photo and suggest she is overweight due to cupcakes. She is a model pure and simple. Does she eat more than she burns ummm yeah. But cupcakes, surely you can't think a model in a picture eats what she is portraying in a photo op? I'd model dog poo if it paid enough. Doesn't mean I'd eat it!

The picture source is poo. But TO ME it's a photo op so she's holding 2 cupcakes showing cupcakes in general and in moderation are ok. But she's only holding one up high like one cupcake is moderation. Thats what I get from this pic. Side note I hate cupcakes so maybe I look at it as who would even eat 2:)?

Former juicer here...I've done 30, 60 and 90 days each time losing then putting it all back plus some. Lost hair and who knows how much muscle. You put 10-15 back on the week you reintroduce food. My hunger returned with a vengeance. It was in no way normal. I truly feel restricting food by juicing helped make me the…

I don't know where that pic is from but because she is holding one up couldn't it also mean just one cupcake? In real life because someone bakes 2 dozen cookies doesn't mean they eat them all in one sitting.

It's not necessary but if I were you I'd get up early and go for at least a 30 min walk just to clear my head. Put your stats in Mfp and log your food stay at your calorie goal. In a few weeks you will learn what foods will help keep you satiated and what foods or worth eating on occasionally.

I don't mind sharing a bite.

I find the know it alls generally have the information I need and it's almost always correct.

I came here to the forums to get support but mostly to get feedback because I was failing at maintaining my weight losses from overly restrictive diets. I've learned from "snarky" and "mean" posts. Maybe I didn't like it but I came to learn. And I got a great education that will help me when I reach maintenance. Jump in…

20 min mile with a personal best of a 17 min mile.

If you eat under 1000 calories mfp will not generate a feed because vlc diets are discouraged. Recommendations are to eat 1200 calories to meet all your nutrition needs.

Any one that puts you in a calorie deficit will work for weight loss. BUT more importantly you should find a sustainable way of eating so that you can maintain your weight loss. For me that is just counting calories, paying attention to an overall nutritious diet and not restricting anything.

Yeah I mean it could be weight loss I have no clue. Shoe sizes vary but I'm consistently a 7.5 now it's so weird!

What do you mean by "something else"? A calorie deficit is needed to lose weight. IF can be used to help control appetite for some and help them stay within a calorie deficit or calorie goal.

Ah, I see body conscious as negative and not confident in ones appearance or looking to improve it or having an issue with. Different again of self awareness or confidence where one says ok I have big feet but who the heck cares confident that big feet are a sign of greatness (total exaggeration I'm sure you get what I'm…

I did a 6 mile trail walk 2 weeks ago. Prior to that 3 miles was my best.

Perhaps a lot of kids are. Mine were very self confident, nor was I body conscious until after having my first child (20's) did I notice my hips were a little bigger, my feet grew 1/2 size. It was the first time in my life that I'd even thought about weight. Prior to that it was "is my make up on dark enough", "do i need…

My children at 10-11 made the decision they no longer wanted McDonalds, soda or diet soda due to stuff they heard at school. I was pretty pissed, McDonalds saved time from my busy life of cooking & washing up (or so I thought as a young working mother) but I couldn't force them especially if they felt it wasn't "healthy".…

Free food does taste best!:)

Veggie's Salmon Halo Top I love my salads as big as my head so I buy a lot of lettuces, onions, tomatoes, seeds Honestly everything is kinda expensive here unless you grow it yourself which I need to start doing since I have the space.

Just for the record for 30+ years I have from time to time asked does this make me look fat or my butt look too big. He always answers with "his" truth. Sometimes it was a yes and others it was a no. I appreciated him being honest. BUT if it was an outfit I really really liked I would not ask incase the answer was yes lol.

Nice job! Looking good.

I'll admit I buy organic veggies we eat a ton of them with vegan/vegetarian/pescatarians in the family. We have a local farmers market where I get most of them cheaper than I can get regular at the grocery store. I get eggs from my son who has chickens but I also buy store bought when he doesn't have enough and I go for…

After several years of being together you are attracted to each other for way more reasons than just appearance. He's the father of my children, he brings me sweet little nothings, he stayed strong and worried about me during his cancer treatment, he is flat out one of the best grandfathers I know. He had such a cute baby…
