Amusing blog. With or without muscles I could never look like a man because I am a woman. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and if you are walking with bulging muscles just be prepared for the criticism. With all the strength of muscles so should your emotions. I once had a manager comment on my sister in law's…

Very, very, very, very proud of you!!!!!!! You look good and healthy!!! Slow and steady!

I believe this for me. Goal weights and what looks good to the eye are so far apart that one may get confused. Listen to them, hear them but do what's best for you. If those around you tell you that you look "unhealthy" and to stop losing then ok. .red flag. .but if they say you look fine stop losing. .keep toward your…

I'm on here as a tool first and support second. Unfortunately, here on the message board I've learned that some folks are not very friendly or sound. I am using mfp as a tool/aid in a healthier lifestyle not an obsession. Basically I don't do too much reading on mfp and I all out ignore some of my friends that are higher…

People acting nasty toward diaries. They are nasty on the message board too. Seriously, it is you and your own journey first and foremost. If you can't it for yourself the words of others won't work. Maybe educate yourself a little more on foods that will be healthy for you. Do some research. Then test yourself in what…

That's a good question. Equate it to. .aerobics? walking? running? Exercises are hard to find for me too. Food is pretty good because you can add your food/meal, etc. I will watch with you to see what others suggest as well. Keep doing the tape though because it will still record at the time of weigh in. Good for you!

Welcome! I've set my time goal to a lifetime. Do the reasonable and be encouraged-- have fun!

Coming back is good. You will have to find the internal strength but the encouragement is here. For me, I'm looking at this weight loss journey as a healthier lifestyle with a lifetime timeline. So there will be A days and then Z days but they are all good and possibilities to get to the goal of living healthier and…

If you want, record and take. If not closed discussion. Tell them to enjoy themselves.

This was really good advice. I would take it

A suggestion: Eat your portion of assigned food, then take a small slice of that cake and be done with it. No guilt and no binging. Enjoy--

That's a good report! Congrats-- Hope you find your walking buddy in your area very soon!:happy:

My heart leaped! That's exciting!! Congrats!

Those nugget moments are marvelous. It's like needing a new outfit but someone asks is the old one new? lol. .wonderful!

Good for you and welcome!

Understood!!!! Now I see. Thank you. ..lol

Maybe I don't understand how it works. Are you saying when you weigh yourself and adjust on mfp that your scale moves? So it is not automatic. One must weight and then change their weight on the site? if that is the case. .every 5 weeks is good for me. I can't stand all that weighing in so often, it does nothing for my…

lol

Good point. But why turn a misjudgement into cheating. .lol. ..why not make a bad decision quietly to oneself and be done with it not to hurt others? lol

EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

So it's on your mind. I thought I would find something about cheating on a diet but this is real life stuff. So the questions are: 1. When a man cheats, is it the woman's fault? (or vice versa) Cheating is a form of selfishness bottom line. There are many variables to why people cheat and they depend on each individual's…

The wonderful thing about any food. You can eat it when you see fit. Lentils for breakfast is very interesting and now you have me thinking about it. I'm not a huge bean eater, but lentils are easy in so many ways-- cook time, eating, taste, etc. Go for it. I think you have such an idea we can learn from.

Ok, Thanks everyone. I will continue to record my veggies

Gheesh! I hope you are joking because it is really not that serious. The only serious thing is being a prisoner in your own mind. .I say speak freely and tell them NOPE, NO, NAH! I do what I need to do for me and you can't force me to eat anything--

There is only one sure way to handle it. Tell the truth like you told us. You love the fact that the woman brings in these wonderful items for all to partake but you don't chose to spend your calories that way. Or if you really want to taste. Take a bite and throw the rest away (out of their presence of course). It's all…

tigersword-- thank you for your input and you are right hahahaha. .but we are speaking in terms of comfort lol

Oatmeal really makes me feel right in the mornings to break my fast.

Inawarzone, I thought in order to lose weight you had to speed the metabolism not slow it down?. . . .at any rate the purpose of the spreading your assigned meals was to feel satisfied. Oh well, time will tell as we listen to our individual bodies. I"m just determined not to be sad in the transitions lol

Taem, Thank you. That is a different perspective. I will ponder and revisit. Thanks again

The mid section always seems to be the last to go or something but that's really good news that the "girls" have become manageable. ((Applause))
