The one cruise I went on had food seemingly 24 hours a day. Congratulations!

OMG you are actually the guy that comes to a reunion and everyone's like, "wait, that's you?"

Wait, WHAT?

Gorgeous!

Hubba hubba! What's your abs routine?

Holy.... Wish myfitnesspal would allow us to click BOTH "Inspiring" and "Like" at the same time!

Love how your eyes "pop!"

YOWZA!

It's "dike," right? With a "y."

Pasta. I thought pasta was bad because it was "refined." I thought "refined" meant something more like Cheetos. But no, a reasonable-sized serving of pasta, just plain, is 400 cal!

There's a bread I get in the US, at Whole Foods, called something like "Silver Hills 16-grain something or other." It's 100 calories per slice, with 6 g protein, and tastes great toasted.

Travel. It's so hard to control my food when I'm eating out most of the time! I do try to log things but - man. 9-day trip coming up!

Brushing my teeth completely cuts out cravings. Maybe you could do that at work?

I wonder if he is just one of those men who grew up with "voluptuous" women being the ideal. The ones who think "women don't look like WOMEN anymore."

What I notice about so many people is how their eyes pop out when they're fitter/thinner. You've got great ones!

Wow, that sounds very hard! What discipline. On the other hand, what results!

Ten weeks til my 47th birthday - ten pounds would be great but 7.5 would get me into the next "decade." But more, to fit into some awesome dresses that have been hanging in the closet for over 6 years.

I'll admit I'm paranoid about skin damage from sun, which is helped by the fact that I HATE SUNBURN! It freaking HURTS. It makes me look awful. Just had my reunion, and I'm in my 40s. Our physical ages varied by a good ten years, mostly based on our skin. Gray hair can be touched up! The leatheriest-skinned ones didn't…

I hope you're ok. It freaks me out to hear about people not wearing sunscreen. Are you young? I find people get more fanatic about sunscreen when they're older and all of a sudden their friends look like very different ages because of sun damage.

"Couch to 5K" abbreviate c25k doesn't have any kind of strength training involved, and I find that balance exercises are key when trying to run for the first time. There's another program, "None to Run." There are some strength/balance exercises in there that REALLY HELP, honest.[ quote="Jayfeather15;c-42231065"] Soooo…

Random addition here - I want to love running - or at least be ABLE to run - because literally I have dreams about running - not effortlessly, but amazing!

WOW, your eyes!

Wait....WHAT? Your waist!

Sometimes, I've motivated myself to exercise during the winter by saying "I need to be able to garden several hours at a time this spring and not poop out!"

Are you walking or jogging? WALK. Spend 5 minutes walking at a comfortable pace - I usually start out at what seems comfortable but then increase speed during that 5 minutes. Try 15 minutes walking at a pace where you can talk, with a couple of short breaths in the middle of your recitation of "Friends, Romans,…

I think a pointed "How nice of you to say so!!!!!" in response to the "You look unhealthy" could work, given that "f*** you" wouldn't be that helpful. I had this uncle who I'd see every Christmas. One year (actually, several years), he'd look at me and say "You look GREAT! You were kinda chunky last time." One year, I said…

How old are you? Big effect on skin elasticity!

My goal is to lose enough to have my wedding ring actually fit again, instead of my having to take it off multiple times a day and massage the deep line that it leaves!

I do it while raw, then enter "raw 90% lean ground beef" or whatever to get MFP values.

OMG your EYES!
