1) Drink plenty of water which helps flush out your system, and start the morning with a really healthy breakfast. It'll help you make better decisions throughout the day and get back on track. Most important: don't beat yourself up. Just move forward. 2) I logged into MFP every day and tracked every single thing I ate.…

I sympathize! It's so hard to find a healthy option at a fast food restaurant. They're deceptively tricky about their salads and such!

Nope! It's just bonus! =D

No. Stick to a nicely scented body wash and hair conditioner and leave it at that. You never know who you're going to offend, and worse, some people have allergies towards perfume. Make a beautiful visual presentation of yourself, not a scented one!

"It's just three movies of people walking! Even the f---in' trees walked in that movie!" -Clerks II lol! =D Hope you find someone to watch with. They're great films!

My immediate thought was: that I didn't do it sooner! But mainly, I wish I would've known at 19 and fresh out of Marine Corps Boot Camp that I wasn't going to automatically stay as lean as they'd made me--even though I felt like a fitness God at the time! I was a thin, strong 150, and I would've liked to have worked to…

For those of you interested (and those of you hatin'!), here's my first vlog on the subject. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXZcs8LJQhM

Nope! Making it stronger by staying easily connected in a variety of ways, from games to video chats!

Should've offered more explanation! First, the three shakes are incredibly healthy...essentially, I'll get a full day's servings of fruits and vegetables PER SHAKE--most Americans, even if they eat tons of vegetables a day, rarely get all their servings of fruits and veggies in a day. And no worries on taste, the shakes…

For the same reason why more girls aren't approachable: because it gives too much to the other sex. And how about this, if you see a cute guy that you'd like to ask you out, why don't you go up and ask HIM on a date?

Shakeology = Good!

Dude, stop posting this lame question. It's been going on for two days now. You sound really insecure. I'm 5'8" and I do just fine.

Yep, everyday! I follow P90X, which is 6 days of working out, 1 "rest" day of stretching. And I love it!

...is a bad thing! Be honest with yourself, people!

When I eat them.

No! Keep it to two or three times a week. Only exception, if you're doing light total body work everyday with a program like Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred or Ripped in 30. Then yes, that's okay. Otherwise, your abs need to rest just like any other muscles in your body!

I post a profile pic of myself everyday when I go outside and walk around! Also, confidence? It doesn't take much confidence. People are people, and people come in all shapes and sizes. Plus, profile pics make it easier to interact. How would you like to have a friend whose face you never see? Same principle here on MFP.…

Love it. First time a friend offered me some of hers, I couldn't believe how good it tasted. It's better than a freakin' Starbucks frap! Too bad you don't like the taste. In my opinion, you're missing out on something amazing. A...MAZING!

Yes, always. Being honest with yourself is the only way you'll get back on track. Don't pretend to be something you're not by not checking in. You'll log it when you lose weight, right? Well, why not when you gain it? You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Either you ARE a certain weight in actuality, or you're not. And…

That's a pretty awesome accomplishment! Way to go! Honestly, I'd suggest stepping up your game a TON. I've done 30-Day Shred and Ripped in 30, and if you can get through those, then you're ready for more. I'd suggest P90X or TurboFire. My girlfriend and I jumped into P90X about 40 days ago. We're both using the program at…

I knew I should have connected the dots on the philosophy. Remember, I said goal-oriented people with the RESULTS to prove it. Typically, most people on MFP use weight loss as their yardstick, so I used that as a main example. However, I also have MFP friends who are incredibly fit that have only lost 2 lbs, and yes, their…

I'd tell them: Don't be the one to post "Hi, I'm new here, looking for support!" That initial motivation comes from within. As far as I'm concerned, you shouldn't look for a single MFP buddy until AFTER you've lost the first 10 lbs. Because if you can't do it on your own, no amount of support is gonna get you there. I…

Communism, Socialism, Totalitarianism, Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, Religion. Can't stand 'em. =) But Capitalism, that one I love!

Awesome topic! I keep this mantra in my head when people spout their ridicule: "Obsessed is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated."

Ah. It wasn't until I saw the "married men" part that I was gonna say, Hey! Be direct and tell her that her amazing body is distracting you. "Wanna work out together?" That's what I'd do. Will it work? Depends. But I have a decent success rate. Anyway, as for being married...hell, be direct, too! "Miss, you're incredibly…

I've used Brooks for years, and they're wonderful. Started using them in the Marine Corps--where I REALLY tested them and put them to good use--and they always held up and kept my feet/shins/knees comfortable. Of course, the best thing you can do is go see a foot doctor and have him determine what type of shoe you need and…
