Only when I can't find another way to log my food. I find that I usually have to use it for meat but I do try to avoid it. If i have to estimate I just log it for a little more than what I think it is, that way my calories may be lower than I logged rather than higher.

While the end result was not perfect I say WAY TO GO! You helped your son see that although it may be easier to just let the bully get away with it that people who mistreat you should be held accountable.

@ Jan- Way to go! That is very impressive. I bet that does give you such a feeling of strength and power. Keep up the good work.

@catfire-Girl,I feel you! When I was thin I loved it. I miss that girl in the red shirt but we're in it to win it so I know I'll see her soon. Thanks for sharing. I think the support of this site really helps remind us this is hard for everyone but together we can do it.

5 3/4' right here!

Yea,my doctor told me to stay away from nuts and things that are hard to chew so that I don't choke. Speaking of weird, I put cumin on pizza once(I'm guessing because the bottle looked similiar to the red pepper bottle) and ate it anyway. Woke up with the most vile taste in my mouth! I would never do that awake.I was so…

I don't know if you were joking or not about the cake in the house but the thing about that is most sleep eaters live with other people.I feel guilty that we can't keep a lot of things that my husband and son like in the house due to my sleep eating. Sleep eaters carry a lot of guilt and shame about this. I hate when I eat…

I'm thinking about the Warrior Dash.

Sure. It has to do with weight loss and could help someone out :)

Girl that ring is huge and beautiful,you know carbs can't buy you that right?lol

You're not the only one,although I do think you're the only one to read the boards.Try posting a topic you think other guys might be interested in too. But don't forget about us ladies too,we're all in this together:) Welcome!

Great suggestion.With the internet and little effort my carnivore of a husband made me a healthy vegetable lasanga for valentines day!

That's awesome.Keep up the good work!

I think maybe shouting a quick "Keep up the good work" or "Way to go" would suffice and be much better than walking up to them and basically starting a conversation that will lead to their weight while distracting them from the hard work they're doing.

Oh boy.I'm so hesitant to write this but I'm going forward with it because I'd like to give you a few things to consider with out being hateful or judgemental. Here goes. If that truly is how much beer you drink a day it is definately inhibiting your weight loss, you're drinking a day's worth of calories per day. More…

I haven't read this thread yet,i'm about to but I just want to say thank you all for posting about this.I need to talk to people who relate!

Great to see all you new members! Let's keep each other motivated and keep fighting the good fight. Welcome and have a great day:)

You came to the right place. Tell us more about you. I'm Larla, I started this group to get more into the support aspect of the website and I think that's working out very nicely. I'm almost halfway through my journey to my goal weight but I've been stuck in place for about a month now. Feel free to share any…

I love how despite the title of this board no one replying is shocked or horrified. I know it's probably hard not to assume that people have a problem with you when many do but I don't think MFP is a place where orientation or gender matters,it's just people supporting one another. It almost seems like the original poster…

Welcome.Until this week I haven't really been taking advantage of the groups and other communcation aspects of the website but I'm finding it is very helpful. It's nice too because I feel like you have to be somewhat obsessed in order to stay on track but I'm sure the people closest to me who aren't dieting don't want to…

Nice to have you here :) Thanks for joining.

I'll let you know if I see any free ones in the Del City area. Facebook is a good resource for finding Zumba classes.

You're welcome:)

Compliments help too.I'm getting to the point where people are noticing I'm losing weight and it's very exciting.

Until I got serious about my diet on the first of the year I hadn't either. I'd wrestle back and forth with the same 10lbs and try to work out sporatically while eating what I wanted. Keep fighting the good fight.We'll get there:)

Welcome!Yes,support is soo good.I've done fitpal before but only logged my weight.I'm really getting into the support portion now though bc I've reached my platuea and I know that others who aren't losing don't want to talk about my weight all the time. Here we can help each other and most of all encourage! Nice to have…

I'm Larla, a norman mom long overdue in losing baby weight. My son is almost two! I'm counting calories,doing zumba and this weekend I'll begin the Insanity program to reach my goal weight :)

Welcome Rachels :)

Yes please.All I have is disks and I feel lost.

Hi guys. I recently burned a copy of the Insanity program from a friend and returned it not realizing that I had not burned the first one(they were out of order). Last night I popped in the second disc and tried to do it. I made it about half way through the warm up. I'm going to try it again tonight. Any tips or thoughts?…
