I have 3 scales. 1 big one at home. a small one at work and a spare small one that I have been know to take with me. ;) Do what works for you. I also order a doggie bag to be delivered with my food. I adjust my meal (half a burger... or whatever,) and put the other half in the doggie bag. Out of site, out of mind. Side…

Skim milk has 90 calories. My unsweetened Almond Milk is 35. When I had to give up almost 100 calories just for a tiny glass of milk... (yes... I LOVE milk... lots of milk.) I chose to give up milk altogether. So for me... I use almond milk as a way to keep calcium in my diet, and not kill my calories. Now I like the taste…

Bummer. The dragonfire chicken is excellent. Way to work around the problem. ;)

Casual... Boxers. Gym time... Boxer briefs. Bike Riding... Bike Compression shorts. REALLY expensive but very worth the money.

I hate when people don't wipe machines down. I hate to see someone cheat themselves by cutting corners on using the elliptical. The thing that drives me nuts the most is the 1 guy at my gym that does a set of 5 lifts (grunting and tossing the bd weights in the process)... then walks up the the tv area and watches football…

You are starting your journey very similar to mine. Set your weight loss to 2 lbs per week. Especially if you are going to the gym frequently. I don't know what your activity level is set at, but I set mine at Sedative. I am an engineer... so most days I push a desk. Some days I do get to work on the floor. I think of…

I make new year resolutions every year. Usually it is the same thing... every year. Every year I fail. It occurred to me that this year... I need a new resolution. :happy: I think this year I may do a more specific resolution. Maybe... "Ride Egypt Valley (Mountain Bike trail) 6 times a month.

Make your own ice cream out of Unsweetened Almond Milk and Chocolate Protein Powder. I made some the other night. It was easy and pretty delicious.

Welcome back. This is the place to get it! Invite sent.

There is always a perfectly reasonable, justifiable, reason why you should put off a challenge. However, you can never beat a postponed challenge. My thoughts are... Seize the day. To hell with your plan to loss x amount of weight. Instead... make your goal... I am going to seize today. :wink: Today will be my day. Forget…

Well, you have my prayers. I dropped my ipod in the tub once. It recovered but it took a lot of time. You may want to premote a dry area by adding some dry hot air to the bag too. (Blow dryer.)

I don't measure once a day... I measure twice. With my scale I repeat weighing until I get 3 repetitions in weight. I also keep a mental log of all my weights (beyond what I post on MFP.) I notice my body cycles thru weight. I am always lowest somewhere Fri-Sat but I gain 3-4 pound during the week. Then I will drop the…

Good luck with your goal! This is the best place.

I wear Obsession (hey... it worked in high school) and my current favorite is Avatar.

Thanks for starting a cave for us. :wink: 1. While Strength Training - My regimine is pretty plain, right now. One of my favorite exercises for my triceps is Bar dips. They are brutal and really destroy my arms. :bigsmile: 2. Beer, Brats, and Football - I do allow myself the occasional beer. I think I am quite lucky…

My and my dieting buddy both have found a large degree of sensitivity to the cold weather. I love winter outdoor activities, but I am going to need some new gear before it snows. That is for sure. Glad to see I am not alone. I was thinking of getting some mechanics gloves for when I am at work, typing at my desk. :laugh:

That 25 bump can be a real bugger. :wink: I am glad to see you made it over. Keep up the good work!

Congrats! That is awesome. Keep up the good work!

My family has just had the same comment to me. I am going for a visit in a week or so, and they are excited to see me. They wanted a list of food I eat. I eat all the normal food I ate before. Sure there are a few new friends, but I don't have to take them everywhere with me. ;) I am sure I will get the stares when I get…

I am in. Very cool challenge.

My wife and I are also on similar journeys. Add me if you want.

Yep, I am glad to say I have the same "problem." I visit the thrift stores a lot. I can't wait till I arrive at my Weight Loss Destination so I can buy some new cloths, but right now stuff isn't lasting a month. (big grin)

I do two things. Every workout I listen to my Ipod and I have some very fast, pump up music on there, just for cardio. I look especially for songs that I... 1.) Love. 2.) are fast tempo 3.) that I find myself unconsciously singing to them. So.. my music list can go from Big and Rich "Jalepeno" to AC/DC "Back in Black" to…

Well, after working out 12 of 14 days at the gym (somedays just cardio, somedays weight and cardio) I decided to take yesterday off from the gym. It was nice, however I had a bunch of pent up energy and found it very difficult to sleep last night. However, after giving myself a break, I am glad to say I saw some weight…

Wife just made No Bake Buffalo Cookies. I was good until she guilt tripped me about me measuring and documenting the calories in the cookies. Lucky for me, she only had 10 extra, after she was done making Thanksgiving snacks for my kids class. However, the 10 cookies didn't last 2 days, and was brutal on my calorie intake.…

I just change mine too. My personal trainer suggested 6 meals so I numbered them... Meal 1.... thru... Meal 6. My thought was, currently my goal is to have 6 separate meals. Not as crucial at what time I eat as that I get to the point of eating 6 mini meals. To date, I have managed 5... with the 6th meal being a light…

Yep. I had the same thing happen too. I have been steadily loosing weight for over 50 days. Now that I feel great, I started working out at a gym. My physical endurance, has improved, and I feel great. However, I have added 5 lbs on and in two weeks, it hasn't dropped off yet. I have been carefully monitoring calorie…
