Welcome! Feel free to add me if you wish :)

A boy would cheat, a man wouldn't.

I usually eat just a banana and a bottle of water. I believe Jillian Michaels said that one banana has enough energy to power you through a 90 minute workout. I can't eat something heavy then workout so my usual breakfast is after that.

My Uncle who must be close to 500lbs ate 4 giant plates of spaghetti with meat sauce once, and every time he cleared a plate he used 2-4 slices of bread to soak up the sauce. It made me want to puke because I did not realize how much food it takes to maintain that physique, and it's sad because I know he's slowly killing…

OSHA The rule which covers bathrooms at work is: 29CFR Toilet facilities.1910.141(c)(1). If you don't have enough bathrooms or your boss doesn't let you use the bathroom, you can file a complaint with OSHA. If you decide, OSHA will not tell your boss who filed the complaint.

I would, but my problem is I wouldn't know how to approach her. I mean, what am I supposed to say, "excuse me, I ran with an overweight girl in high school and I have just as much respect for you as I do for her" - I don't think that would go over well. My fear is maybe they don't see themselves as overweight and I would…

I ran Cross Country in High School and we had one girl on our team who was at least 100lbs overweight, but damnit she tried every day and she was ALWAYS the last one, but I tell you what, I had more respect for her than I did our fastest runner. So to answer your question, when I see an overweight person running they have…

I personally am trying to kick my soda habit (I hate diet drinks so the only way for me is original coke lol) and I am just drinking one 5-Hour Energy everyday. But then again, a lot of people will say that's bad for you too. Choose the lesser of the evils and whatever suits you best :)

That's awesome!!! Congratulations, you look wonderful :)

My fiance gave me the "I love you whether or not you look like a Victoria's Secret Supermodel or 600lbs, but I want you to be healthier and make healthier choices because I want you to be with me for a long time and if you're heavier and not eating right, chances are you aren't healthy and that's what I don't want" speech,…

I agree a lot of people are rude, but MFP has more friendly people than rude compared to many websites.

I want to reply to every one of you but I don't want to clutter up this board, but I want to say thank you, you all are very kind :flowerforyou:

Thank you :)

That's great to hear! Thank you :)

Atlanta, GA and it's 1:45PM and cold outside, and we just had all those tornadoes on Friday, our weather is seriously messed up.

First week? Girl you need to be patient :) give it about 2-3 more weeks before you start getting concerned.

I can relate to that one!

Wow, that's intense. Both of my parents have gone through that and I am terrified of that surgery. Glad to see you have lost 30lbs though :)

Aw I hope he was just playing lol, my fiance and I call each other fatties when we eat too much food but we're just playing.

Being told I was too fat to join the Navy in September. Lost the weight and joined November 9, 2011. Ship date July 10, 2012 :laugh:

Boy do I understand sucking it in, I read a quote on Pinterest that said "Suck it up so one day you won't have to suck it in" I guess it get's evenly distributed, except my face, my face was my first clue that I was really gaining, when I got on the scale last August I about died :embarassed:

You've done a great job, but if you only have a few friends, how do you expect people to know your goals? Reach out more and give encouragement to your friends and they will more so encourage you.

Thank you very much! :)

Thank you, most of the weight is in my midsection, this was taken in the morning before I ate much. But I am 5'6 - you are the 3rd person to tell me that I don't look my weight. I work at a Plastic Surgery Center and my boss, the head Surgeon asked me how much I weighed because she knew I was dieting and I said "174" and…

Thank you! It wasn't a quick loss, but it was worth it. The best part was getting back into these jeans I used to wear when I was in my freshman year of college (before the Freshman 15 hit). Feel free to add me as a friend if you wanna help each other stay motivated :)

Thank you! My fiance warned me about that, he told me the food at RTC is actually really good and a lot of people gain weight from it. Anyway, this is a permanent change, I don't ever want to see the 170's again once I get out of them :)

Buy a HRM, they're really a good investment and the only way I can know exactly how many calories I burn. I got one for $40 at Target.
