This thread has all the hallmarks of a deeply insecure man.

How often do you post MFP threads on male drivers who do not follow accepted driving etiquette? Deeply ingrained stereotypes bias your perception; indeed, you are more likely to notice those who fit this perception and disregard all evidence to the contrary. I do not envy your stupidity.

I should add that I do go to the gym often and have an active lifestyle.

I am 5' 2" and 152.5 lbs. My BMR is ~1400, so that is my total (not NET) daily caloric intake. I cannot concentrate and feel incredibly weak if I consume less than this.

LMAO

I want to lose 7.5 lbs and 3 inches off of my abdomen by the end of the month; go to yoga 3 times/wk and run at least 5 km 3 times /wk, in addition to strength training.

@JKelly1221 Smile!

Agreed.

Your brain requires a significant amount of glucose, which is obtained from the food you eat. If you are on a calorie restricted diet and are not consuming enough glucose required for your body AND brain, you will experience difficulty in concentrating and thinking. There are a few calorie calculators on the net that…

I am glad that you are going slowly. I was told by a plastic surgeon that because I am young and still have most of my skin elasticity, I have a good chance of not requiring surgery. There are many risks associated with surgery, and I do not want to simply go under the knife when hard work and dedication could achieve the…

Hi! I am 25 and am a graduate student in Condensed Matter Physics & Optics (Queen's University, Canada). I should be submitting my Msc thesis in less than 6 months, after which I will be going to Germany to pursue a PhD. I would love to join you and everyone else on this thread in their weight loss journey! I have noticed,…

Indeed!!!

NO!!! The MFP man-candy is the only sweet I can indulge in without adding to my daily caloric intake!

Big, beautiful eyes!

Long, beautiful hair.

I definitely do not need implants (I am DD at the moment); however, I do have a little excess skin from massive weight loss (100 lbs so far). Has anyone had a little excess skin removed and reshaping done (reshaping, NOT reduction)? Is it as expensive as getting implants?

I eat brown rice and whole grain oatmeal (plain, with fruit) on a daily basis. I tried cutting out carbs completely while trying to maintain a very active lifestyle, but this ended in disaster. In addition to feeling incredibly weak, I could not think clearly, was constantly depressed, and was plagued by insomnia (that…

Ditto.

I find I cannot stand pasta, white/ overly processed bread, ground beef, bacon, and anything processed/ instant. I read food labels and ingredients diligently, going so far as to pull up MSDS* sheets on my iPhone4 in the grocery store when I encounter a chemical I am not familiar with. When I encounter something…

... and run a half marathon, which I have been training for for about a month.

Ditto on this. I have lost 100 lbs and was told that it is likely that I will require plastic surgery. However, my goal is not to: I am 25 years old and am more than willing to spend a year doing extensive strength training and toning exercises. I am told that this WILL help with lose skin. I have 27% body fat (based on…

Eating out when you are diligently watching your calorie intake is very tricky indeed! First of all, do not be afraid to ask questions about what a certain meal contains (butter, margarine, olive oil...?). I have yet to find a restaurant that is not willing to make a few adjustments to a meal to suit the special dietary…

Have you ever heard of Sorbee hard candies? They have many varieties of chocolate flavoured candies in addition to the usual fruit varieties (http://www.sorbee.com/Sugar-Free-Hard-Candy.html). For 4 candies: 25 calories, 0 g sugar, 0 g fat!

Hi! My name is Nicole and I am a physics graduate student. Since late February 2010, I have lost 105 lbs (~25 lbs February 2010 - July 2010; ~80 lbs July 2010 - February 2011) and would like to lose another ~25 lbs to attain my goal weight of 120 lbs. Given that my 25th birthday is in late October, this group would be a…

Is this challenge group closed? Does anyone have room for another team member?

Cardio!
