Congrats!

Just to clarify, I wasn't suggesting that your problem was eating the cookies. There's nothing wrong with treats and cheat days and the like now and then. What caught me was the perceived motivation behind eating them. It was like they were a coping mechanism "I didn't get a weight loss this week, so I'll eat some cookies…

HAD TO? Looks like that might be part of your problem.

You are bound to be the next Voldemort. The numbness is an early symptom. Soon it will fall off entirely. In other news, it could easily be dehydration (as other commenter suggested) or just some redirection of blood flow toward the muscles doing most of the work.

You, sir, just won MFP.

It kind of depends on your body type and activity. You can adjust the proportions for the three main macros (carbs,fat,protein) in your MFP settings if you feel like you need them adjusted. Perhaps it would be best to see if what you're doing is working first, then just play with them a little and see if things improve or…

Popcorn is really good in this category, particularly if you have the SmartPop (or similar) variety. It's like 100 calories for a good sized portion. And that leaves room for 2 if you could really use some filling up.

If you move the photo on photobucket, I think you have to re-do the link. Also, I'm pretty sure the album on photobucket has to be public. You might try that.

I get King Size Direct catalogs in the mail all the time since I've been getting a lot of clothes from there recently. Can't wait to drop enough weight to send them a letter explaining that I will no longer require their services.

Y'all...that's just gross...

Probably anorexic or bulimic. Might want to take her to doggie therapy.

Oh, wow. Probably Ferngully?

Awesome! That, to me is one of the biggest things in this whole process. Realizing that, for the most part, it doesn't mean giving up your favorite foods or going out to eat with family. It just means being aware that even then, you have choices you can make and that some are better than others. That even if you make a…

Interesting. Not sure that I've taken a bath in a while either, so I'm not really much help, there. Hope it gets better?

I'm trying to stick to at least one running event of at least 5k each month. Actually in the middle of a 'Frozen Nose' series in OKC. Did a 5k in January, then have an 8k and 10k in February to finish off the series. Not sure what the rest of the year will look like yet, but I imagine there will be a color run (or two) and…

The problem with most of these is that they are built on an assumption of a certain running/walking speed. If you're jog isn't as fast as theirs, you're not going to be at a full 5k by the end of the program. You'll be able to jog for 30-35 minutes, but at 4 mph, that's only about 2/3 of the full run. I would suggest…

Asking someone else how many calories you would burn doing a certain task isn't very accurate. Everyone is different. Even at the same weight, two people could easily burn hugely different numbers of calories doing the same thing for various reasons - age, fitness level, intensity, etc. It can at least give you someone of…

Congrats! I've been able to get mine around for a while, but just barely. Have to be careful how I move or it pops loose. Looking forward to having enough extra to fully tuck it.

I started running when I was about 350. It definitely sucks and I'm definitely slow, but I'm already seeing improvement (dropped almost ten minutes off my 5k time since summer). As far as how safe it is, it sort of would depend on your current activity level. I'm a teacher, so I'm already on my feet A LOT. My legs have…

How long will it be in your bag before lunch? That makes a big difference as far as what might still be good by lunch time.

Do they have nutrition facts available online or in-store?

I have to agree with the comment about the Fit n' Active brand stuff. It's really pretty good!

I don't WANT to go to the gym or eat healthy sometimes, but I do it anyway because I know I need to. Plain and simple. If you feel like you should eat, then eat.

Might have to look into this...

subway.com lets you build your sub and check the nutrition facts. I would look there.

Like others have said....why not just watch the real food you're eating. Cheaper and most likely more healthy in the end. Plus, it seems like a red flag to me that their priorities aren't in the right spot when the first thing I see on their website is a huge ad for going to one of their conferences and a banner telling…

For her it seems it was almost instantaneous after reading an entire paragraph about my 'ideal woman' and seeing my amazing grammar. For me it took like 2 years cuz I'm a man.

Love me some spinach. Almost impossible to eat calories for the day when you throw spinach in there.

Epic fail.

Let's not be silly. Unless you ate/drank a combined 2.5 lbs at lunch, that clearly doesn't make sense. And if you did, don't forget to weigh your bodily functions on the way out and subtract!
