Bites his toenails.

My ex son in law is a trainer. He told me NOT to work out everyday. Your muscles need to rest a day in between work outs...not doing so is detrimental to your progress. Try doing a heavy work out one day and just a good swim or a quick power walk the next. Alternating your caloric burn also keeps your body guessing and…

I feel your pain. I plateau much more than I lose at a steady pace. My nutritionist told me that the plateau is your body playing catch up and reset...in other words you body cannot lose weight rapidly for a prolonged period of time. It goes into the plateau phase to catch up and reset itself to your new eating and…

SW 262 CW 241.5 GW 135 Before: HOW THE HELL DO I POST A PIC?!!!!! AAAGGGGHHHH!!!!

Wow!

Congratulations on you decision to get healthy! I am sure you will be successful with MFP. It is amazing how much difference tracking and journaling your calories and food can make. Good luck! Look forward to hearing of your success!

Surgery is NOT the lazy or easy way out. It is a serious decision to make. For someone who needs to lose over 100 pounds, surgery may be the only way to do it. If, infact, said family member is not exercising or eating right, surgery is probably not going to produce long term, permanent success. My paperwork is being…

Take a deep breath and RELAX!! Grab some crackers or plain baked chips to settle your stomach and snack on them on the way over. I'm sure you'll be okay. Good luck!! I'll say a prayer for you.

Fiber One Oats and Chocolate bar, tastes soooo good you forget it's good for you.

If you are actually burning what you estimate, your defict may be too high. If you don't eat enough you won't lose weight, your body will kick into starvation mode. If your base is 1700 calorie, you should be eating about 1200 a day to lose weight. If you exercise and burn 600 calories, you should eat 1800 calories to keep…

She's trying to reduce her stress!!! LOL.

Girl, why you ain't weighin' neck-ed?! lol.

Conspiracy. If a man speaks and there's no one there to hear him, do bears still look gift horses in the mouth?

For the thrill of disobeying. Where are the slow children and why are they playing?

elevendy. If lords leap and swans swim, and e= MC2, where did I leave my sunglasses?

Gezeussday. Some people are overwhelmed, others are underwhelmed...are any just whelmed?

We do, didn't you get the memo? How much wood did Peter Piper pickle at the seashore pepper sellers woodchuck festival?

Because you made the rain fairies mad. If 2+2 is 4, and x = 17, what color is the Pope's jock strap?

Spiderman, he wanted someplace to keep his Chuck Norris pictures. Why is it a salt shaker?

Keeps me motivated. What can I say, I'm shallow.

Everytime it goes down :blushing:

Amen and amen. Isn't is wonderful how our Father cares and plans for us, even when we don't know or acknowledge it?! All things come to pass in his time.

You ARE too impatient. You are doing everything right. Keep it up. You are probably experiencing water retention from all the exercise. If you have set your weight loss goal at higher than 1 to 1.5 lbs per week, drop it back. Also, DRINK, DRINK, DRINK...water that is, and lots of it. Even more than the recommended 8…

ROTFLMAO :laugh:

Sister, I feel your pain. I'm not just saying that either. Last October ended a two year run of caring for my husband's grandmother in our home. She was in her ninetys and had Alzheimer's as well. New Year's 2009 my unmarried daughter came home pregnant. Rearranged the entire family to accomodate her; nine month roller…

I'm SURE it is water retention from your muscles healing themselves from a rockin' work out. Drink more water. It'll come off. Keep up the good work.

Even if you go over by 100 or so, you should still be in a deficit. I don't advocate going over on a regular basis, but sometimes its easier to just eat the food. Family gatherings are especially hard, there's always going to be someone there who just doesn't get it. Take everyone's advice, walk at lunch, huge salad for…

Save them for baking. You can freeze three of them together. Scramble them with a few whites, chop up and add to stir fry or fried rice. Too bad you and I aren't neighbors, we could share...I can't stand the whites!! :drinker:
