Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever a good idea. Don't s*** where you eat. Don't fish off the company pier. Etc.

Like losing weight, all it takes is discipline. I'm not saying it's easy, but anyone can do it. And if you think it's nice having that money now, imagine having that money with extra interest on top.

Don't get me wrong, I still pay taxes. I'm not getting a free ride. :) It's just that my paycheck is set up to take only what I'll end up owing, and no more. Well, give or take a couple bucks, since, like I said, I owe the Feds about $7.

I used some online calculator, I don't remember where I found it. I didn't have to do anything fancy; just adjusted the number of exemptions. I'm a single guy, and claim 2. I don't know why it's 2 instead of 1; I just know that's what it is. lol

Not getting a refund. I decided I don't want to give the Federal government an interest-free loan for 11 months every year, so I adjusted my withholding. I owe something like $7. Meanwhile, what *would* have been my tax refund has been sitting in my bank all year, earning interest for *ME* and not the government.

You were misinformed. Think about it logically for a minute. What happens if you work nights and 8PM is your lunch time? What if you're eating on a plane and you cross a time zone? Your body is constantly using energy, even when you sleep. Meal timing doesn't matter a bit.

My mom did this, and then gave birth to 5 boys. Oops.

Yes, literally. That's what the hormone is derived from.

Ummm...yes, pretty much. And please don't bring up that tired "scientists used to say the earth was flat" argument. There's a major difference between medieval suppositions and modern research.

You think that's a ripoff, wait until you graduate and can't find a job because the economy sucks. After all that tuition money, $35 will seem pretty insignificant.

I find that ground turkey makes a great filling for tacos...once you put the taco seasoning on it's indistinguishable from ground beef. Tastes great. Come to think of it, that sounds like a pretty good dinner idea for tonight.

If you've been to one LA Fitness, you've been to them all. They're remarkably similar in terms of size, amount of equipment, and temperature. The only one I've been to that's remotely different is the Lake Street location, which doesn't have a pool or hot tub because it's on the second floor of that shopping area. I…

If it were me, I'd want to be there...not for some tearful confrontation, but to make sure she didn't take anything that wasn't hers. That or I'd leave her stuff in a box on the porch. No way in hell I'd give the ex a key to my place. Edit: Post above beat me to it. lol

Not hot yet, but will be in another 85 pounds or so. Feel free to add me now and beat the rush.

11 sure looks like marigolds to me.

You callin' me fat? Punk! lol...just kidding. You're totally right. When people have drinking/drug/gambling problems, it's said that the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Admitting you're overweight, and putting it in negative terms, is the start of the process of self-improvement. So, "Hi, I'm…

A lot of that could be water weight. As long as you don't expect that kind of loss every week you'll be fine.

3 eggs every morning for me. There's not a more filling breakfast out there, in my opinion. And they're awesome for the budget. $3 buys me breakfast for a whole week.

Sounds like you're doing pretty well. I generally like to do a quick cardio warmup (5-10 minutes or so) to loosen up the muscles, then stretch, then do my strength training, and then once I'm done with the weights I'll do cardio for whatever time I have left (I do my workouts in the morning before work). I'd maybe bump up…

Oh yeah, forgot my stats. 30, Twin Cities MN

The fact that your husband is being supportive at all is a good thing. My ex actively sabotaged my weight loss plans from time to time. "Oh, you're on a diet? Gee and I ordered two pizzas for movie night. Who's going to eat all this?" It's entirely possible that once you hit your goal, your husband will be inspired to get…

Doing my laundry. It's a wild, wild life I lead.

Everything can be healthy *in moderation*. I have pizza rather frequently but I make it fit my calories and I don't eat the whole thing at once.
-
THIS. The kids will eventually realize they have no choice. They will whine and scream and say they hate you, but they'll eat eventually. You've just got to be more strong-willed than they are.
-
This x 1000! People (parents especially!) keep asking me why I haven't started dating again after my divorce, and they seem unsatisfied when I tell them I have to be content with myself before I can be content with anyone else.
-
My calorie intake was greater than my calorie expenditure. Really just that simple. Oh, I could try and explain and justify it, but it all would just sound like excuses to me, and besides it's in the past and I'm only interested in looking forward.
-
Meeee! Well, divorced, does that count? I'm not exactly losing weight to attract the ladies...well, not *just* for that reason. I'm also doing it for myself and my long-term health. But I figure if I'm going to be "on the market" I might as well be in good shape. Plus I figure getting in shape will be a great way to piss…

How *you* doin'? ;-) Feel better now?
