It's a kilt... it's only a skirt if your wearing something under it :)

You make funny faces.

Well then allow me.... You have a beautiful smile, mad dancing skills and you are here to make changes to yourself in a positive way.

Yeah, peanut butter is an awesome choice.... 2 tbs of peanut butter in a good clean shake like syntrax, with almond milk and a banana thrown in is around 400 calories with nothing bad added.

I like to scan items as much as possible, so when my wife or I am cooking I will scan the ingredients and build recipes that will be eaten later. Any logging is goog logging.

Amber, I just saw this at Sams Club for $21 a box... a box is (8) 2x2 tiles.... cheap, cheap cheap....

Yeah... Umm... lets say I read the whole thread.... I have only one point to make... If you eat less then you burn for calories, I do not really think that anything remotely resembling a balanced diet will be bad for you... if you prefer meats over veggies, but burn more calories than you eat than I am guessing you are…

Country Kitchen light italian... 40cal per slice! If you know anyone on Weight Watchers they make a zero opint (20 cal per cup) veggie soup that is good and filling too.... Anything you can put on bread goes well on a bed of lettuce too....

I just completed my 2nd fit test with some positive results... Day 1 Switch Kicks - 118 Power Jacks - 35 Power Knees - 80 Power Jumps - 23 Globe Jumps - 7 Suicide Jumps - 9 Push Up Jacks - 16 Low-Plank Obliques - 22 Day 15 Switch Kicks - 125 (+7) Power Jacks - 47 (+12) Power Knees - 114 (+4) Power Jumps - 40 (+5) Globe…

Caring - Wanting for your family to be as healthy and fit as possible. Love - Non conditional, and is not impacted by physical appearances other than the caring factor. So, my wife and children and myself all care about each other, try to motivate and keep each other on track but we love eachother no matter what we look…

That is a big goal! I have done P90X and I am doing insanity now and only have burned 1000 on a couple of occasions! I eat as much as I need to in order to feel full... that requires a good calorie burn. All that said, I like to go to bed with a couple hundred calories on the table.

I guess I am of the opinion that when it comes to politics and social behavior I teach the baseline and let me children learn from there. I consider manners, modesty, respect and kindness to be a part of the baseline of social behavior.

Food and lack of exercise.

I dont recall telling you what to do at all. I simply said if you want to change society... do it yourself. If you children decide that they want to join in then let it be their decision. Relax.

Maybe they will also tell us when they need to know about drugs, sex, birthcontrol and other items that we prudes used to teach our children. Modesty can be a natural trait for some, but others need to be taught. Teaching your child that the body is a good thing is done by encouraging diet and exercise not encouraging…

It's mixed in my house... my wife will often (After a breif heads up...) run from room to room naked, or topless, or what ever... but myself... my kids have never seen my nude at any age, and since my daughters have been old enough to bath themselves I have never seen them topless or otherwise... thank God... they are both…

Mel Molly... her race... well... her specifically :)

Went to Almond Mike (Unsweetened Vanilla) and never looked back.

Not sure about dinner, but venison is whats for lunch :)

Im with you. I did P90X, lost almost 30 pounds and then Halloween hit... followed by Thanksgiving, a slew of holiday parties and well... no exercise (Other than the fact I am up and out of the house every morning before sunrise) and I did not track what I ate (I did not want to crash the MFP servers....) Now I am doing…

Hi Fiber instant oatmeal and 2 slices of 40 calorie hi fiber bread. About 200 healthy calories in about 3 minutes.

Not and maintained the ability to chew solid foods. The biggest insult I could have would to be called skinny.

I drink water, black coffee and unsweetened almond milk. Sometimes with a scoop of Syntrax Nectar. Nothing else.

Betty Crocker Frosting.... I have unshackable will, until I break... and that frosting in a plastic can broke me. It sent me on a two week bender and at least five pound weight gain. Started over fresh and I am back on track but when I fall I hit the ground HARD!

Sure... hardcore exercise kicks your butt when you start out but just stick with it and you will be fine. I do P90X, and Kempo-X is about my favorite workout. Punching and kicking WITH INTENSITY is an awesome workout. Good luck and have fun. Also, I assume you are here because you are doing the whole package of exercise…

I dont hate any music. I do though, have some qualifiers before it can be considered music to my ears... 1 - There must be at least one instrument (Bass, Keyboards, Drums or Guitar) that is played by a human and 2 - The lyrics must actually be sang using mostly complete sentences and contain primarily "real words"

I guess I listened when my mother said if you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything at all. But, this place, like the real world is full of people who just like to throw their negative comments around when someone does something they do not agree with.

Im a big advocate of mind your own business and let people do what they want with their bodies, and if they come here looking for support then support them, and if you do not support what they are doing just leave the thread.

My uneducated, unlicensed and mostly uninformed opinion is to do whatever gets your heart rate up. If you can find a good calorie in/calorie out balance you will start to lose weight. For you to get your heart in the calorie burning zone it may be something as simple as short walks. As you lose more, and get more fit over…
