Yup, exactly...and thats the plan.. and actually why I didnt date much / seriously for the first 3 years after my breakup. I knew I wasnt ready and it wouldnt have been fair to whoever I was seeing. Only now that Ive gained a new perspective that Im open to meeting someone that Im getting back out there. :) Would have been…

The calculator you are using likely is suggesting a moderate rate of loss, while you likely put in your MFP settings that youd like to lose 2lbs a week, which is an aggressive rate of loss. So yeah, comparatively speaking, that sounds right.
-
Yup, I feel you... Thats actually what made it worse... Im not much of a trusting person to begin with, and I grew to trust him very deeply, first time ever that I allowed myself to do that...which he ended up using to his advantage to hurt me. I came away with it feeling I learned my lesson to never trust anyone again.…

Time does NOT heal all wounds.. Its what you do with that time that does it. Im in the same boat myself...went through a pretty horrible breakup 4 years ago (omg lol) which left me unable to trust anyone...not just men, people in general. I sat around for a couple years waiting for "time" to work its magic, and was no…

yeah, Im going to chime in with weighing your food. Eyeballing and using cup measurements for solid foods can mean the difference of 100 cals or more... I ran into quite a few shocks when I first started weighing my food with the difference between what I really thought was a serving, to what actually was a serving. And it…

yeah, pretty much anything in a can, freezer section /packaged / pre-prepared meals are going to be high sodium... I guess something about preservation or something. I dont avoid something just because its high sodium, but I keep track just so I know if I need to up my water intake to make up for it...Theres no effect at…
-
yeah, but he didnt specify elite athletes... I really was only responding to the question that was asked. That he mentioned rugby is why I figured Id mention my cousin, since she got into college on a scholarship to play on the rugby team...then expanded to my personal knowledge of other full contact situations like my…

Not sure..but my female cousin got into college on a rugby scholarship. Growing up, I woudl always tell her if there was a gang of guys in front of us, of all the people in the world, Id want her by my side..well, in front of me, Ive got her back...waaay back. And she would tell me that Im lucky she loves me cause comments…

Just wanted to let you know that indeed no stigma about WLS here! I believe there are even some support groups on here, though I think they had a different acronym for it. Someone will point you in the right direction Im sure! Welcome and good luck on reaching your goals!!!

Something Ive noticed through the years, when Im on MFP I lose weight, when I stop, I gain weight. Its not necessarily MFP in and of itself..but the tools making me be aware of my goals, and making it a priority..when Im not on MFP, I completely forget about it, and with that, I lapse back into old habits that make me gain…

Now *thats* how you s*** stir a pot LMFAO!!!! Youre nuts :smiley:
-
I wish I had known about that before I responded... Im usually so good at avoiding people who say stuff just to troll and stir the pot! I feel like I got Rick Rolled LMFAO! Anyway...I thank you for posting this. I only found out about it a couple weeks ago and definitely found it inspiring. I even actually contemplated…

Apparently indeed. Ah well, at least it does not change history and what we now have to show for what happened that day. Theres always a bright side. :blush:
-
Very nice try...success even. All we see in this photo, as I pointed out, is Semple being pushed away from Switzer by her husband when he tried to reach for her number. That the imagery of him defending his wife to allow her to complete the race is so offensive to you and of_monsters is unfortunate. I find this to be…

My point exactly and what I was questioning. Im not the one who said that this topic doesnt have a place here...this guy did: Oh wait... thats you.

A fitness forum is not the place to share some sports history to salute the progress allowing women to participate in the Boston Marathon, on the day of the Boston Marathon? Considering how many people...women included (you might not realize) are actively training for marathons and are here for the reason of support and…
-
Indeed...that someone can look at this and not see the bravery of this woman to be the very first official runner in the Boston marathon, to see what she had to deal with and how it paved the way for the women after her...to see this as a negative thing to scorn and become angry about because they dont like it is beyond…
-
Holy cow... showing how far weve come is not glamorizing attack on women, its glamorizing how far we've come since that day. that you cannot see the intent behind this post, and consider this story and the events that happened that day as something that should be brushed away, hidden, and forgotten about is actually scary.…
-
Wow Of_Monsters... Seriously?!!!! Of all the insanity on these forums, you feel this piece of history should be censored? So_Much_Fab... I read about this for the first time a couple weeks ago, incredible and awesome how far things have come! I believe that #390 was her husband running with her, who pushed Semple out of…
-
I shampoo and condition about twice a week...but if I have a sweaty day, or especially in summer, I will rinse it just with water every day. But I refuse to blow dry / flat iron my hair every day...so I will just put it in a bun and Im done with it. BTW, I use an SLS free shampoo, and I alternate between doing a protein…

I started out at 196.2 @amandammmq so not too far from where you are now... I started in early Feb, and am now down to 178.8 While I look better, theres no amazing transformation taking place..the perils of being so tall... the weight hides itself well, but then so does the weight loss! But yeah, my goal is to get to the…
-
Another way, from the website, is to go to "App", then "Tickers" and then "Update Weight Data". In there it'll ask you for your starting weight...done and done.

Ahhh! Got it!!! Yup. I concur LOL!!!! :blush:

Yeah, I notice meat tends to lean towards being in oz in the database, but everything else goes by grams almost exclusively. I have a digital scale that does both, but for simplicity, I just measure everything in grams.. if I have to log oz cause thats all there is, I just convert it. Oh, and Im an American :blush:
-
I didn't take before pictures when I started... and now that Im about halfway to goal and finally felt brave enough to take a photo, I really *really* wish I had something to compare it to. Kudos for taking pics...it'll be motivation for sure as you go through your journey! And if I knew then what I knew now..I would have…
-
As an American..I thank you LOL! Really, when I see kgs and stones, my brain goes blank...its just not something Im familiar with! But I have to say, I am learning..like I know by heart already that a stone is 14lbs..after looking it up a million times to figure out what it means when someone says they lost 2 stone 3 lbs.…
