Look at it this way...her problems with her body have nothing at all to do with you. Shes not directing it towards you, shes not even thinking about you. You are taking what is a personal issue for someone else, and making it your own personal issue. Sort of like how, I started out at 25lbs overweight...not only not happy…

I keep fierce records... Let me save you 5 weeks: Average Net Calories Consumed Mar 9-15: 1,164 Average Predicted Weight: 170.4 Average Net Calories Consumed Apr 13-19: 1,152 Average Actual Weight: 180.2 Not only my were my days within "if you consume this same amount" it actually ended up being less on average... and yet…

As much as I love music, I didnt go to my first concert until I was 31, about 7 years ago, and I saw U2 with an old high school friend. The band was great, absolutely... but Bono taking a pause between every single song to talk about the One Foundation seriously killed it for me. I still get emails from "him" about the…

Yeah, if something has a barcode, I scan and use that. If it doesnt, that means its meat or vegetables so I add usda to the search and use that. I find it to be a fairly simple process.

I turn to cleaning a lot lately too rosehips... When I was going through my breakup a few years back, my apt was eternally spotless! You could eat off the floor under the fridge even...Lmfao!!

Mine is incredibly vain... Women used to walk up to me to say they would kill to have my body. That hasnt happened in years... I'll know I've reached my goal when I make complete strangers feel homicidal again LoL

Check your fiber... I was having issues, then opened up the fiber tab to see my intake of that on here, and was shocked to see I was getting less than half the requirement. So now its something I try to focus on and have been very good with...and what do you know? Im regular again! Well, better than before...at least every…

When I was married, whenever my hub and I got into an argument, I would head out the door and take a bike ride. It helped clear my head and calm me down so that when I got back, it would be easier to resolve whatever issue we had. So it was a win-win method for me.

You said it yourself...volume and weight are not interchangeable. You would not try to figure out how much you weigh with a tape measure, so why try to figure out how much food weighs using measurements for volume? Impossible. Weigh your food.

My daughter constantly amazes me... She can open up a pack of peanut m&m's (her favorite) eat two or three of them, and then neatly fold the top to save the rest for later. She eats everything, all the time...just not all of it at one time. While I am pretty good at portion control, and stopping when Ive had enough, I…

Thats the spirit!!! Glad I could provide some motivation! :blush:

So far, Im 10 weeks in, have lost 17 lbs, 9.25" and still wearing the same clothes that still feel as though they fit the same way. But...if Im going to be honest with myself, which I hate doing (lol) most of my clothes didnt fit me right to begin with, because I kept refusing to buy a bigger size. So logically, of course…

I find that if I dont eat breakfast, I end up not feeling much hunger for the day, will forget to eat lunch and then famished at night when I want to eat all the food! Which is how I gained weight to begin with. But if I do eat breakfast, then I will feel enough hunger throughout the day that I remember to eat and my day…

Im usually listening to music... and imagining my own music video for the music and doing some really hot dance moves. It has really happened that I lost the rhythm of walking and nearly broke out into dance while doing my walks. I can be a bit silly LoL When Im doing something more intense though, Im too focused on trying…

I have very oily skin..and I live in Miami where its humid so the combo killed me for awhile. Personally..I dont use any facial wash at all. I use a washrag to wash my face in the shower, no soap, no deep scubbing either, just a wash over with some water. Then I follow up with rubbing olive oil on. Sounds…

The first thought that came into my mind is....was he like this when you met him? Or are you trying to change him from that into a new lifestyle you want for him? Just...putting that thought into your mind. Having said that...it would probably be best to lead by example, rather than trying to force him to change his ways.…

5"10" which is tall for a woman... 6'5" is indeed tall for a man. Speaking of which...how *you* doin'?! *wink* lol

Name: Candice Age: 38 Height: 5'10" Start Weight (1st April): 184.5 Goal Weight (1st May): 177.5 1st April: 184.5 8th April: 182.5 15th April: 180.1 22nd April: 29th April: 1st May: Weight lost/gained this week: -2.4 Weight lost/gained this month: -4.4 1 Apr - Reached March goal (185 lbs) and lost a total of 8.3 lbs for…

I was about to say..hey thats what I do! Then I realized..I already replied and thats pretty much what I suggested. LoL I do use tuna packed in water though. But yeah, a tuna salad on crackers is pretty darned filling while being low calorie.

Im in Florida...and no weight on my DL here either!

Same here...Ive lost about 15 lbs and many inches...yet my clothes still all fit and feel the same. Maybe a slight difference, like the waist of my jeans are a bit big now so I have to wear a belt, but in my hips and thighs...the inches are gone (supposedly!) but my clothes are still as snug as always.

I have a thigh gap. But Im also bow legged with wide spread hips. Which might have a little something (everything) to do with it. Cant even imagine actually wanting that though...when I was younger, and thinner, I hated it. Guys, complete strangers even, have said some disturbingly crass comments about how I I couldnt…

So you like that rock solid body type eh? Too bad rigor mortis only lasts a few hours. But if you're not into long term relationships, that plenty enough time.

Depends on your deficit... If you have say, a 500 calorie deficit, then on your cheat day when you eat whatever you want, you could easily wipe out your deficit for the week and end right back at square one to start your new week. I dont stick to my calorie allowance "religiously"... some days Ill end up eating more, some…

AWE!!! Im like that too though, when Im with someone, Im convinced they are the sexiest man alive and no one else can possibly compare. Its a great feeling though, to be with someone and be that attracted to them in every way! Im single now though, so all bets are off. Your man is safe from me though, I dont notice taken…

Yeah, except that gingers are incredibly hot. Of all shapes and sizes...so not really a fair comparison! lol I will probably break my neck one day trying to catch a second sight at a ginger...I prefer all of them =D

Thank you! And so true.. If I could keep that exact same motivation going for the next few months as I did that very first week, Id be golden! But I've got my game face on, and Im very serious this time about making it happen. My entire perspective this time around is different, much more positive than I ever was before…

I am being real. Real is understanding that not everyone has the exact same experience or perspective on a situation. Real is being able to accept that what you find hard is not universal to everyone else. Real is being able to realize that just because someone shares a different viewpoint than you, does not negate or…

Exactly!!! Im not *on a diet*... Im *on a mission* to lose weight and keep it off by developing well-balanced eating habits that I can live with for the rest of my life. That is my ultimate goal.

yeah, I dont know at all about that first paragraph... But that last sentence sums up my attitude towards all of this perfectly.
