Muffin top % = zero. It actually might be in the negatives ;) Good stuff man!

My highest weight was 220lbs - 60lbs ago! I could pack my baby and my 3 yo niece and it still wouldn't cover it. Crazy!!

I must admit I'm pretty ignorant in the GMO debate, but this has been a really interesting read!

Are you measuring your food? Are you using a HRM to measure calories burned? Do you have an appropriate calorie target for your goals? Are you using anything besides weight to measure progress? If you're clothes are loose then something is happening, it's just not the measure of success you're looking for :)

*takes a swig of beer* Yup!

Awesome, thanks for the info. And - lol - I would never let my SO near me with body fat calipers, I'd probably end up with tiny pincer bruises all over. Downward trends are awesome when it comes to weight loss.

Rad! Congrats, I bet you feel wonderful (: How do you go about getting your estimated body fat %?

Maybe I should have clarified the point of posting my comic. The belief is aspartame is bad for you, the mountain of evidence is the evidence showing it is safe (much of which OP has very patiently provided factual explanation of and cited sources). In summary of this whole tread, people who really believe aspartame is not…

Also - this thread is totally relevant for MFP. I was going to have a snack, and then I got reading 16 pages of some pretty good discussion and forgot. Now I'm going to bed sans snack.

I love this! It's rational, factual and not a bad read even for a dumb dumb like me ;). I believe it's incredibly important for those with knowledge to try to prevent the spread of misinformation. Sure, some will plug their fingers in their ears and just keep on trucking. However, a lot of people just need some science to…

this thread is making me giggle :)

I tend to do this a lot too! I work really hard at the gym and eat within my goal often, then once in a while I have a good time with my friends! I've stopped beating myself up about it though - what's the point in having an immaculate body if I can't have a good time with friends once in a while. Every week I edge closer…

bump!

Update time! I started training for Tough Mudder in February, which mostly consisted of trying to turn a wheezy walk into a consistent jog. Wow was I outta shape! Here we are in June and Tough Mudder is less than 15 days away. I'm excitedly nervous - I think I can complete most of the obstacles and should have no problem…

Hiya! I have a lot of stretch marks and loose skin around my stomach and arms which means even when I do get to my goal weight, you probably wont see me hanging around in a bikini. However, there are a lot of outfits that don't need to show skin to be sexy. That's why I keep going, one does need to shed the clothes to look…

I'm aiming for 130lb and I'm 5'4. It's really just an arbitrary number I picked though - I will have to see as I approach that number if it's the right target for me. I've never been that small as an adult so I have no idea what to expect!

BOOBS. I've been fat since I was a kid. They suck.

My second Window's phone. After finding out that it no longer works with Zune and they replaced it with an inferior program a 3rd grader could have made. :grumble: Oh.. and after it cracked in my purse.. and then again when I dropped it. And now some more that it's hemorrhaging battery life.

I have a wedding to attend in July. But that's not June.

2 cups frozen raspberries 2 1/4 cups frozen peaches 2 tbls creamed honey 2 cups water I have a vitamix so I'm not sure everyone can pull this off, but it was amazing. I split 1 batch into 3 servings (could easily be stretched to 4). Per Serving using the recipe calc: 153 Cals 40 Carbs 1g Fat 2g Protein 0 Sod

I had heard that Weight Watchers started allowing coffee and tea to be logged as water. I've never used WW and this could be total BS, but there it is. Context is needed, if you're trying to hit your water intake goals by drinking mainly coffee or tea you're most likely not hydrating your body as much as good ol' plain…

I imagined something more like this

My friend told me that he had a mate that invited him over for spaghetti bolognese once. It was ramen, ketchup and hotdogs.

I bet you this recipe was discovered on 4/20...

Giving into your cravings isn't a horrible thing! Just have to learn to use the tools to incorporate those things into your diet. Next time you're craving a burger, try putting it into your food diary before you eat. See if you can make any modifications to reduce the calories or portion it out better. For me, it's a lot…

Yup!
