Giants! Because Greg Jones is having a helluva rookie season. And I never stop bleeding Green--I cheer for my Spartans no matter where they go! (And Brady is a sucky Wolverine, so I have to root against him no matter what.)

I don't know what your current weight is, but I'm about 100 pounds away from my goal weight and I do the 30DS 5 days a week. I have never advanced past level 1 and I still follow the easy chic, but I still lose inches each time I do it. Go for it!

This makes me want to punch babies. And I happen to love babies.

I'm in. I know I suck at updating regularly and getting my numbers to you, but I promise I would give it my best!

Reading through this post has me wondering if this is something I should be talking to my dr about. Can any of you tell me what the warning signs were or how you came to be diagnosed with PCOS? I know these might sound like silly questions, so forgive my ignorance.

Does he have a kidnapping kit sitting out on his desk? You know, duct tape, rope, chloroform. The basics. I'd be polite/civil since you have to work with the guy but I'd totally carry a whistle and some mace in my purse. Or pocket, just in case he follows you to the bathroom one day.

This made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that. I'm drinking my icy cold diet coke in your honor tonight.

I've been wearing my HRM all day today just for curiosity's sake. I wondered how much I burn and how close it is to what MFP estimates. I can honestly say that I burn far more than I ever thought I would. Definitely follow your HRM reading as opposed to your MFP estimates.

The most I've ever eaten is two servings of thin mints. Each sleeve is one serving, right?

Under a 'new and improved' name so that no one knows that you couldn't stay away.

Amen.

Today I've learned that I burn far more calories in an average day than I ever would have thought possible, and that MFP grossly underestimates how much I burn as well. I'm hoping that this will help me to avoid a plateau in the future.

It would help if you opened your diary so we could see what you're eating and drinking each day.

I have absolutely no idea. I've never counted, but if I had to guess I'd say somewhere around 60-80 pairs. And that's probably a modest estimate. The bad thing is that, like some others who have already posted, I probably only wear 5-6 pairs of those regularly. Once I hit my goal weight I plan to donate a lot of my shoes,…

My opinion is to go with what your HRM says since it's tailored to your specific heart rate. I've learned that MFP has grossly underestimated the amount of calories that I burn doing certain things, while other activities seem to be estimated quite high. If given the opportunity to log calories burned based on your HRM, go…

I love hearing about supportive SOs. Yay for you! And yay for him, too!

More protein and fiber? I'm suggesting these two things because this is what tends to help keep me full longer so that I'm not making terrible food choices and just grabbing whatever is convenient when I'm hungry.

1. I woke up this morning and wasn't overly tired. (Some days it's the little things that count) 2. I noticed that my coat isn't as tight; I no longer feel like a fat girl in a little coat. 3. I was able to find 7 books that I need for my thesis at the local library instead of having to buy them. (Saving money makes me…

Where/when did you learn this? Was it a specific thread that I missed?

Me too! I opened this expecting some rant, but was pleasantly surprised. So thanks! And right backatcha!

And once you cheat you will always be a cheater. I learned that today, too.

Vodka makes you lose weight.

Ha! It all boils down to not being fed properly. Whether their appetite is for food, sex, or drama.

This. Probably dance around while I'm out there.

I was just talking about this with someone the other day. I know that I didn't get fat overnight, but sometimes it sure feels that way. Sometimes I really do wish we could tell people that they're gaining weight as easily as we tell them that they're losing it. When I lost 40+ pounds everyone at work was commenting about…

There used to be this commercial back in the mid 80s (don't judge me, I know I'm getting up there in age when I start quoting commercials from 20 years ago) that said for every pound that you lost your heart had to pump blood the equivalent of one mile less or something like that. And there was the Tylenol commercial a few…

I did this for 30 days and only lost 4 pounds. But I lost somewhere between 9 and 11 inches off of my waist. Hang in there. It's worth it in the end.
