I try to run 5 days a week (usually ends up being 3-4) to tire the dogs out before my wife and I go off to work. They have the run of the house for about 10 hours before we get home, so there tends to be less damage if they have gotten some exercise. I usually run anywhere from 2.0 to 4.5 miles.

Schindler's List (That part where they learn the Nazis have lost and Oskar has to go on the run. Before he leaves, he reflects on how many people he could have saved if only he sold a few more of his assets. It is a very powerful scene and probably Liam Neeson's greatest moment as an actor...)

I usually wear bikini briefs or athletic supports synthetic material for sure. I have pretty big thighs (just measured them 31" around near the top of my leg), so boxers are not much fun at all. I am not a big fan of tighty whiteys because of the flap. It's too much material and tends to droop down between my legs when it…

Unless you said maple syrup and butter, you're wrong! Same for french toast and waffles.

That's a rough wake up call. Luckily, it's not too late to change your lifestyle so that you can gain the body you want!

My wife thinks putting fried eggs on a slice of toast with jelly is disgusting, but I love it. I also love olives from the Mediterranean bar at the grocery store, especially the ones with the little garlic cloves in them.

Mmmm... time for some eggs florentine!

great advice. Bump!

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism almost two years ago and my doctor's only dietary restrictions were to wait at least one hour before or after eating to take my synthroid generic (levothyroxine) and to avoid consuming grapefruit. Has anybody else heard this?

my weakness is usally any combination of cheese or meat... I have consumed _________________ in one sitting. a pound of cheddar (with or without crackers) a skillet full of taco meat covered with cheese and sour cream an entire 18' pizza (usually minus my wife's 2 slices, but sometimes she gets her own pizza) a half gallon…

I haven't logged anything in a couple of days. I'm not even sure how to break it to MFP that I ate seven of mom's butter-inlaid pancakes (she melts down a stick and pours that into the batter) yesterday morning. I should really log what I've eaten, but doing some pushups, leg raises and planks seems like a better way to…

I like Baby. And you are correct: nobody puts Baby in a corner... err dumpster.

double bump!

bump!

Wow, this thread really came back to life for a spell. Thanks, everybody for your input! I am on the synthroid generic called levothyroxine. I get it for $4 for a 30 day supply and $10 for a 90 day at Wegman's, but Target and Walmart (and probably several other pharmacy chains) have the same pricing scheme. Dosages over…

start with a machine until you get used to the motion. you won't be able to drop anything on yourself. once you feel you've mastered that and built some strength, move on to either dumbbells (requires more control, but you can shed them to either side of you if necessary) or the 45 lb. barbell without any other weight on…

Well you've come to the right place, or back to the right place. I noticed from your profile that you are quite active. I enjoy kayaking and spending time in the outdoors as well. I started losing with MFP in October, had a bit of a setback this past month and hope to kick it in gear now that the holidays are over. Rugby…

I have the same problem. I have learned never to turn down food from an italian. Just don't eat all of it. And keep doing what you can to burn calories.

High school wrestlers will often run while wearing a plastic bag poncho to sweat more, so they can drop enough water weight to make weight before a match. It's not very effective for long term weight loss. I run while wearing a fleece because it's below freezing in the mornings.

We always had a bottle of red wine and vinegar dressing when I was growing up. I'm pretty sure that's lo cal.

Babies need to eat. I think it's up to mom (and not society--or grandma) to decide if baby should eat in public.

I'm not such a fan of foods I can't even pretend came from a natural source... Vitamins are an exception for me. If I were you, I woul'd get my protein from some other source besides the protein shakes: eggs, beans, nuts... I'm kind of at a loss to name other non-meat, non-dairy sources. I'm a big fan of cheese, greek…

I'd say! Holy overflowing friends list on your profile!

I am definitely not female! I'll be your friend if you like... At age 35 and just over 300 lbs, I made it my 2011 New Year's resolution to join the local rugby club. I have never played any organized sports in my life, unless you count the time I joined track to use the weight room my junior year of high school. I've…

I spent $100 on a good pair of running shoes and I run with my dogs around the neighborhood in the mornings. It's a great workout and wears out the pooches so they don't remodel while my wife and I are at work.

interesting... bump!
