I don't understand the logic behind going to the church with your kids. If it's about exposing them to religion, why do they choose one specific religion? They make it sound like they want to give their kids a choice but they're only offering a choice between atheism and Christianity. Sounds hypocritical to me.

If you are following WW, then don't count fruit and vegetables. If you are counting calories only, take them into account.

I've tried the whole thing (soup+food plan) a few years ago. Got sick of the soup after 3 days! If you want to "jump start" your weight loss, any low calories plan will do... No need to eat crappy soup for that!

None. I try to stay away from stuff that taint teeth! (coffee, tea, cigarettes...)

Thanks for putting them together! I've tried setting up an interval timer but I failed miserably... :(

Turbo Jam/Fire!

Instead of changing your activity level, you could change your goal to a 1lb loss per week as Alexdur suggests? You're right in looking into upping your calories. being hungry all the time is not the way to go! Your body needs its fuel ;-)

And why not have chocolate cake? If your diet has been otherwise healthy that day, there's nothing wrong with having cake!

Ignore him.

Just remembered this one! When I was a kid and I went to the beach with family, I refused to get my swimsuit wet if none had gone in the water yet. I would step into the water together with my Mum or Dad, walk very slowly and ask every 5 seconds "Is your swimsuit wet yet?". It had become a running gag!

I started with 2.5 lbs (1kg) but they were too light for most exercises. Also, i was coming from no exercise at all! I'd suggest having several sets (if you can afford it). Don't be afraid to lift heavy dumbbells, you won't bulk up from doing the 30DS! ;-)

Workout calories are added on top of your goal. See them as a bonus! :)

Toxins aren't stored as fat cells. Fat is.

You've lost 13 lbs in 2 months, I think it's a pretty good number! Especially since you "only" have 33lbs to lose. I've found that a higher protein ratio helps me feeling full longer but to be honest, it's all about calories in/out in the end. Just play with ratios until you find something that fits you and your lifestyle.…

Yup. They eat limbs that hang off the bed!!!

Whenever you want, just be consistent with time of the day and clothes on/off. If you weigh yourself after exercising with your clothes on, always weigh in after exercizing with your clothes on. ETA: Of course, weighing in immediately after aking up (after toilet) and before breakfast, will give the lowest weight so you…

Fasting is certainly not going to get rid of cravings. On the contrary!

Oh yes, this too! When I was a kid, I firmly believed that I had a foot or a hand hanging off the bed, a big Chinese (not PC, sorry) guy would come and chop them off with an axe! I'm over the big Chinese guy but still, all body parts have to be on the bed!

Maybe that would work in the US but where I live, people (most of them not religious) certainly don't want to work on Christmas. Anyone proposing such a thing would have Unions on their back! They've tried to have the stores open on Sunday (almost all stores except small convenience store are closed on Sundays in France…

I'm afraid of swimming pool drains. I can't be near one and definitely not ON one! (but I'm not alone, I just found out there was a FB group for us drainophobes) @daffodilsoup: "Titanic" must have freaked you out!!

Try 1800 calories first and see if you can stay under that number. One step at a time, don't put too much stress on your body! Also, stop worrying about sugars. As long as you stay under your cals, you'll lose weight! And don't forget, you can eat back your exercise calroies.

I eat the whole egg. I feel I owe it to the chickens not to waste yolks!

It's not the content of the message (I don't care whether they celebrate Chrismas or not) but the way they respond to a greeting. When someone greets you, it's polite to greet the person back. Then you can proceed and telling your life story!

It's not so much about religion as about practicality. Imagine if everyone was to take a different day off in December. And what would define an official "religion" that allows you a day off? What if I want November 29th off because it's "Cheese day" in my religion?

That's actually a good thing! As much as I want to get my hands on Kashi go lean and Skinny cow ice cream, I also know I'm better off eating real food (as in un processed like chicken, produce...).

That's just plain downward rude. Ever tell that to me and don't even expect a "Hello!" afterwards! (and I'm an atheist so it's not like I feel religion-offended or something)

Success stories on MFP!

Done!
