This thread made me think of beer (which I haven't been able to have since I started a few weeks ago)...and I realized I actually have some calories left and can have one. Thank you. I would have hated to realize the one night I've got room in my 'budget' it for it I never thought of it!

Thanks for filling me in. I hope this is something that is treatable. And I'm glad you're hear losing weight to help your health, as I'm sure those closest too are even more. I loved those NSV's ladies...keep'em coming!!!

I agree. That was ABUSE as far as I am concerned.

I haven't dated a lot (was with one guy 15 years, and haven't dated since he left) but I wouldn't say I'm attracted to one body type. Extremes of thinness or fatness are not good, but I'm good with anything in between. There are a lot of factors, I mean a LOT of factors other than body type that attract me more or attract…

You guys are witty. I love witty! :love: I've only lost an ostrich egg, but I'm going to lose somewhere between a newborn calf and the worlds largest ball of tape! :laugh:

Welcome...what is NAFLD?

These are the comments I think about when I start thinking I CAN'T do it. Why am I any different? I CAN do it! I WILL do it!

Awesomest post EVAH! I will remember this when I don't think I can keep my legs moving on the elliptical one stride longer. I loathe, loathe exercise. My favourite hobbies are sedentary and I am not athletic at all and never was. But I know I need to do it. Now...can you tell your friends and they can tell their friends,…

I haven't had a straw actually. I've been thinking for a long time of getting healthier. I just didn't accomplish much until I lost 150lb of betraying husband and suddenly I was free to start doing the active things with my kids that I'd been trying to integrate into our lifestyle for a year or more. I had already stopped…

OMG, you handled it well. I might have joked it off, too, but I think inwardly I would be mortified. I'll definitely be careful what games I play until I am NOT obese.

Of for heavens sake would someone please fill the newbie's in on what a violation is already? (It's been asked in other posts with no reply). I'm feeling violated by not being violated...I think.

Okay, okay...I WAS honest. I think a LOT about my health, my role modeling, and the good and bad habits my kids have learned because of my parenting. I probably think about it more than is good for me, but at least it is inspiring me to do something about it and break the fat family cycle. Clothes are also an issue...when…

Oh dear...but I guess a strained tendon isn't one of the worst answers you could have heard. Hopefully with some rest and antiinflammatorys you'll be good as new in no time. You can be our guinea pig...can short people lose weight by limiting calories, but not not exercising...but, no pressure. lol

That's quite a story...one you are going to totally rebound from! We'll help. :)

Wow, laloquita! Thank you for all that work...must have taken quite a bit of time. I really have no idea how to organize and lead these group things. I'm barely sure how to even be a member of one, so that's what I'm going to leave it at for now, though. I'm sure those natural born leader types (of which I think you…

Coffee was || <--- this close from getting sprayed out my nose. :laugh: C'mon guys...the OP was trying to be nice. I agree that it's pretty much the same as any other fad diet, it's undernourishing, unsustainable and I know personally, I'd gain it back with an extra 20 just because. But, his heart was in the right place…

My concern is that it comes off fast...yes. And as soon as you stop eating from that diet, it would go back on just as fast. Just like any fad diet you can name. Many of us at MFP have realized that as fast as we'd like to lost weight, we'd also like to keep it off and be healthy...the trade off is that it takes longer.

That's why my last diet failed. lol I can't eat what someone else tells me I have to.

I will not put my hands on the heart rate sensors at the gym for that reason. They beep and warn me heart rate is too high, but I feel fine (well, except that I'm busting my butt!) That sensor beeping is kinda scary though. I talked to my doctor about it and she checked me out, so I guess I just have a higher than average…

Welcome to MFP Unfortunately, I don't think there are any easy and fast cures to turn off cravings, and giving into them. But there is hope...because if you can power through and behave yourself for a little bit, you get a whole lot better at it! Most of the time anyway. Everyone slips up sometimes, but you can always…

Welcome to MFP...and good luck!!! :)

I find the Success forum completely inspirational and keeps me motivated so far. Welcome to MFP.

Hi Greg You'll find a lot of supportive people here. Welcome.

Welcome! And good luck!

YAY!!!!! :bigsmile: It IS those things that make it worth the effort. :)

I'm not very competitive and am pretty patient in general. I'm not the one who's going to freak out if the guy ahead of me stops at a yellow light or takes a long time to make a left hand turn out of a parking lot. But I do tend to end up zipping along without realizing it if it's clear ahead, so I like to use my cruise…

I've never been a Bandwagon Kinda Girl...I see a fad, I run the other way. The only other "diet" I've tried was the TrueStar system...I fell for the whole lifestyle line they went on about. I guess it could be considered a lifestyle if you're masochist, but I don't know anyone who could eat like that for their life. It…

That is SO true, and one of my biggest motivations as well. I grew up in a sedentary home with bad food choices...so I have been a sedentary adult who makes poor food choices. By the time I hit my earlier 30's (I'm 35 now) though, I was feeling like that just wasn't right. Over the last couple of years I've started to…

Just to play devils advocate, the one of 'keep up the good work' I don't think I'd really get offended about...maybe because of thinking of this as my life long work, I'm not sure. (I think I'll have to count calories forever or it'll all come right back on.) How about 30 more though? <--- that one. I would count myself as…
