1. Pretty much anyone in the Tea Party. 2. Moaners at the urinal. Yep dude, urinating is a relief but you don't have to express your peegasmic joy. 3. "Tough guys" who put fake testicles on the back of their big overcompensating trucks. C'Mon Man. 4. OJ Simpson. Not only because he murdered two people, but he was the…

I use the term "cheat day" and quite frankly, I really don't care what I call it. Terminology and semantics won't affect the scale either way. I can call it a "lazy day, binge day, carbapalooza"...it doesn't matter. These "days" (no more than once per week) have been proven to (1) shock the metabolism to prevent plateaus…

Welcome! This is a great program. I just recently started and dare i say, I log on to MFP now more than I do Facebook. Facebook never made me thin - MFP will help! Good luck!

I don't have anything productive to add to this thread but as a guy I feel compelled to read any thread that has "boobs" in the topic.

I stumbled upon this app just last week and lost 4lbs so I'm hooked. Except for Angry Birds, this may be my favorite app now. Try it for a week - you may be hooked!

There are plenty of us in the same boat. I work full-time and have two toddlers and my down-time is usually after about 9:30pm when I'm beat. So far I've had the flexibility to exercise though. I've had bouts of temporary depression but there is nothing more uplifting than success and feeling some sort of personal…

Even the simple "good jobs" for small little goals go a long, long way. Plus, there are some amazingly smart people on here who have wonderful advice.…

I'm no expert...in fact this is still my first week. But, the tactic I'm using is to eat what I would normally eat - just less of it (except for fast food and non-diet sodas, which I've completely eliminated). If I make it too complicated as a newbie, I'll quit. Just count what you eat. If you run out of calories by noon,…

I try my first RPM class on Wednesday and I'm tempted to try BodyPump on Thursday. I'm just starting this process so BodyPump really intimidates me more than RPM. I don't know what to expect from BodyPump so don't know what to expect. I guess we can always stand in the back and give it a try! Good luck with your LM classes…

Thanks for all of the replies - good information. I think for at least the first few weeks I may leave it at 1350 being that (at least according to Dr. Oz) that most people eat more calories than they think they do. So, if I target 1350, maybe reality may be a little bit higher. But 1350 calories kept me full for the last…
