Actually he ending up giving me a 20 dollar tip on a 6 dollar drink, probably because he felt bad. You should have seen his face when I looked him in the eye and told him that I wasn't pregnant. I think he learned his lesson lol... At least I am finding humor in it now!

Thanks everyone! You stopped my crying...

:sad: Tonight at work, on top of bad tips from tables that I work my but off for, my last table of the night was a guy sitting by himself and he asked me if I was pregnant! :mad: My uniform while working in the bar is black pants apron and a fitted black shirt. I am sure I do look pregnant because I carry my weight in my…

Dont forget that nuts are good for you too. Yes they are high in calories, but you should incorporate them into your diet. All types of nuts have different health benefits. Some help your brain, eyes, heart, cardiovascular health etc. Some stores have almond butter which is still high in cals but better for you than peanut…

How do you guys do it? I eat all of my calories and usually go over by 20 or so. Jealous.... :grumble:

Yesterday I ate the BBQ chicken wrap at Red Robin with a side salad. On MFP is says that the wrap is about 300 calories. That is wrong! I looked it up on RR website, it has 1500 calories! I couldn't eat all day yesterday after that :sad:

It sounds amazing! How does it track how many calories you have eaten? That is the only part I don't understand.

Because when you put in how much weight you want to lose a week say 2 lbs it calculates how many calories you should eat a day to lose 2 lbs a week. The reason why it adds calories on when you exercise is because you are burning that many more calories, so you can eat that many more if you want to. Don't forget that if you…

Maybe instead of blonde do a caramel light brown, or a red tone for a change. These aren't so dramatic as blonde. Good luck! :wink:

I just got some from Albertsons in the bakery section that where pre portioned for 150 calories. They looked kind of like big angel food muffins but I thought it was a good portion size.

So I just looked online and it says that a 160lb person will burn about 500-600 calories in 8 hours of sleep. And you do burn more awake sitting down, I was wrong! Good luck.

Its hard to say but I do know that our body's burn a lot of calories sleeping. More than just sitting down awake I think! So I would say that figuring out your calorie deficit should be based on sleeping and non sleeping calories. Maybe you could go to a website and find out how many calories you burn sleeping and add that…

I had great plans today to go on a long walk with my dog. It was beautiful out! I really love the NW in the summer! My tire though went flat and when I turned onto my street my rim basically cut a perfect circle around my tire so I had to by a new one! So I had to deal with that for most of my day...

I am from Burien, Wa. Just wondering if anyone out there lives around this area?

Yea Buddy is 85lbs and thinks he is a lap dog too! I have heard about GR as great dogs but not about Boxers but I will definatly look into both. Thanks guys!

Hi all! I noticed from the previous pet posting that a lot of you have different breeds of dogs. Does anyone have recomendations for a good breed or mix of breed? I am looking for a companion for my 1 yr old half black lab, half pitt bull Buddy. He is such a lover. He is my motivation for getting in shape cuz he needs a…

I think splenda is the only sugar sub that measures out cup for cup with sugar. Splenda is actually the only one made from sugar so that would make sense. I use it sometimes and the box I have in my cupboard says it measures out cup for cup. Good luck!

Beep, Zumba is a latin aroebics class. They have videos for home and classes all over. It is alot of fun you should try it! You shake your booty alot which I like because it kinda gives you confidence also. They kinda do interval training, different moves for different songs and some intervals are harder than others. Go to…

Turbo Jam is fun! Also I haven't tried the Zumba tapes, but I am taking a Zumba class and it is awesome! Also if you can find the older Firm tapes, specifically Volume 1-3 those are absolutly hands down the best tapes ever! They were made in the 80's but seriously you really do get visible results in 10 workouts!

I am confused. What is the exact benefit of aerobic ex vs weight training? What I mean is how does aerobic help weight loss, and how does weight training help weight loss? I hate aerobic ex so I am looking for a good reason why I actually have to do it.

I love the show Dancing with the Stars and dancing like that looks like so much fun! Does anyone take dance lessons or own a dance exercise tape? If so is it a good workout?

Oh yea that has happened to me. If you ate bad yesterday and then super clean today your stomach might be in a bit of shock or you just ate something bad. Anytime I have had those type of stomach cramps with diahrea or vomiting it was some type of food poisning. Also if you ate any sugar free type of foods, that can…

I am from Burien Wa (right outside of Seattle).

You sound exactly like me! Since I was in my preteens I remember dieting. Right now I would like to lose about 30 lbs. This week I haven't logged any food because I have been busy but starting tommorow I am logging again. Even though I didn't binge or anything like that this week, I feel like I ate more because I haven't…

Before I started "dieting" and working out a couple of months ago I noticed that a few nights a week my stomach would always feel slightly nausous. Not the stuffed full nausous feeling or a true sick feeling just a slight nausous in the bottom of my stomach. Well fast forward and yesterday i ate kinda bad: tomato basil…

Try a workout buddy. My best friend (who also uses this site) goes to the same gym as I do and sometimes she is the only reason why I go to the gym. It is just one more reason not to be lazy because we cannot let each other down. Also try not to drink any alchohal for a while. I am 23, and even though I didn't get wasted…

I am not jumping on the low carb bandwagon but you might want to try eating less proccessed carbs. My dad was a bodybuilder (still in awesome shape today at 47) and when he wanted to "cut up" he would eat strict no carb. He has always told me that to lose the last 10 lbs (usually around the waist for us ladies) I would…

Water exercises are probably the best because they are so low impact. Welcome to MFP!

Thanks for the info! I had no idea MSG was that bad...

Hey! I learned a little something in my psych class about afternoon eating actually! Every human has about the same circadian rythms (basically a 24 hour brain/body cycle) throughout the day. At around 3 pm (and 3 am but most people are already asleep by then) the body enters its peak degree of sleepiness. At this time,…
