I also agree with this. It has become second nature to me to the point that I can probably do it in my head now based on what I've learned here but I'm so used to it I just keep going. Just like any other behavior modification it's all about your attitude and how bad you want it. Here's a little tough love coming from a…

Hi OP I know EXACTLY how you feel but you're doing EXACTLY what you should be doing. You're reaching out for help and that's the glory of MFP. I've lost about 85 pounds so far (about 70 since I joined MFP again in October) and I have to tell you that this journey has had it's ups and downs....literally! Sometimes I'm…

I use two AWESOME apps for Tabata type workouts, Seven (7) by Perigee and Quick 4 by Tiny Hearts Limited. I highly recommend them for beginners. You can do as many cycles as you want. I recommend at least 3. It will take less than half hour. Make sure you warm up and cool down since this will get your heart rate up pretty…

OMG there should definitely be a Manfax! I'm happily single and yes I ask, even if it doesn't matter. Those things just naturally come up in conversation when you're getting to know someone. Now the real question should be if I'm going to JUDGE them based on their response and the answer is YES. Anyone that says they can…

Did somebody say bacon???

I'm a coffee junkie and I'm losing weight with no problem whatsoever. My family, actually my whole island (Puerto Rico) is obsessed with coffee and we're just as sick as any other people that don't drink coffee LMAO When I started my healthy lifestyle I tried to cut coffee, and I did...a little. I went from 5-6 cups a day…

Take selfies!!! LOL awesome smile! @nikki0753

Hi, I have to admit that I actually had to look up ketosis and research it to understand. It looks like what you proposed would work as long as you are consuming the right fats. A nutritionist I spoke to who specializes in sports nutrition (for athletes who work out A LOT) recommended a diet that is higher in protein than…

^^^THIS....I love food more than anything in the world and I eat very well about 80% of the time and bad about 20% of the time. I think that is more sustainable then denying yourself something you love...unless you love crack then it's best to go cold turkey.

I downloaded two apps recently on my iphone, one was called Four (4) and the other is Seven (7) LOL seriously. They're based on Tabata. One is a 4 minute workout and one is 7 minutes. They both are using basic calisthenics and require you to do as many reps as possible in 20 seconds then you get a 10 second rest. It's…

Happy by Pharrell Williams...I know it's been played to death but it still makes me happy and it looks like it would be perfect for you :smile:

Erections.... one of my fave threads

I love beards. Thick, long, manly beards. Although it's not technically a deal breaker, I prefer men with facial hair. It's a personal preference. I say, find a happy medium with the wife. Happy wife, happy life! LOL but you shouldn't sacrifice something you love JUST to make her happy.

I'm sure your progression looks great but my eyes stopped at the beard :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

This is the shortest and best weight loss story I've ever heard in my life. Love it! Congratulations, that kind of loss is amazing.

Read this from the Centers for Disease Control: "What are some of the medical problems seen in people eating too few calories? In women, one of the first signs may be irregular menstrual periods or even complete cessation of menses. This is frequently seen in people who have eating disorders such as anorexia where calories…

I literally read every single post of this thread. LOVE IT! A HUGE congrats to you all for every single NSV big and small. On Saturday I walked 7.5 miles and although I got home achy (mostly my feet and ankles...damn these heel spurs) the next day I was brand new! That's my biggest NSV recently. I was so proud I didn't…

Sometimes we have to do things we don't necessarily want to do in order to get what we ultimately want. I'm more than sure that if you dedicated enough time and energy to a solid weight training regimen you would see some fantastic results in a fairly short amount of time. Those results would make you love weight training.…

Your definition and tone so far are extremely impressive. Shows that you have not only managed to lose weight but to build muscle at the same time. Bravo! I would wish you good luck on reaching your goals but it doesn't look like you need any luck. :drinker:

My diary is also open, I log religiously and I eat A LOT LOL I also food prep so I create recipes on MFP and I'm a pretty accurate logger. Anyone can feel free to add me :smile:
