I just do 50-55 min on the stationary bike. Too many hits to the knees when I was younger prevent anything that is high impact. And the elliptical makes me seasick. Sad, I know.

Greek yogurt and hidden valley ranch seasoning pack. Not sure if it tastes exactly the same, but way lower calories.

The number of cars they bring to the gym parking lot. Every Saturday, the only day we can actually work out together because the day care is open, the parking lot is full of cars that all the Zumba class participants came in. I'd be much less irritated if they turned the volume down a bit and carpooled to the class.

bump is a post used to bump the current thread to the top of the queue in any chronological forum (like this one, where the most recent post is the one on top). In essence, you "bump" it to the top of the line.

Thanks.

Can't get mine to work, but the two pics in my profile are about 3 months and 40 lbs apart

I don't see boobs on here all that often...Just saying

Working out every day is Moderate activity, not Light. Light is 2-3 workouts a week. If you reset your activity level, it should go up.

Set point weight is, if I recall my biopsychology classes correctly, one of the prevalent theories. What they found was that animals just have a certain amount of food that they are comfortable with. What happens is, if you give an animal a diet food, like half calorie dog food or something similar, the animal will eat…

Wow...who is the girl on the left? Just kidding. Looks great. One thing I noticed is that I only have one chin now.

I've lost 72 lbs, and that last 12 or so that I want gone is taking forever. But I just keep telling myself that is what I've been doing isn't working, maybe I need to try something else. You've done 2/3 of the work. Best advice I can give is remember why you wanted to lose the weight in the first place. For me it was…

Does walking around behind him and pointing out when girls are actually interested in him count?? 18 year old me had some truly awful self esteem issues.

Usually behind a locked door...

Sweatpants and a t-shirt in the winter, shorts only in the summer. It gets too cold up here to go in the buff year round.

But what if you are setting your fat loose upon the world?

What the hell is NSV?

Think of all the calories you would burn, though. Frodo and Samwise left Mordor skinny hobbits. Take out the fire and deadly spiders and orcs, and we could have ourselves a really sound weight loss program Cardio, weight, and 30 days. Oh, and carbs. I see a ridiculous number of references to carbs. Probably more than…

I haven't hit one yet. I do tend to gain a pound or two over the weekends, but by the time I weigh in they have gone and taken some friends with them. I think my case is that I'm a "skinny fat" type, where my body says I should be skinny, but through abuse, overeating, and laziness I sort of forced it to be fat.

Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, low fat cheese, tomatoes, salt, pepper. That's about it. I'm a bit of a purist with my salads

It's me, right, right? I mean, of all these -est contests, this is probably the only one I got a shot at...

It's gotta be hard to lose weight in Portland. With Salvador Molly's and Voodoo Donuts, that's just a lot of temptation. Feel free to add me as well

I don't. Or if I do it's as water. I try to separate my water from my non-water liquids, though.

I feed my son what I eat except when there is too much spice in my meal. I like curries and other spicy food, so I make him something different (usually leftovers) whenever I indulge my need to burn taste buds.

According to my social circle it leaves me and goes to my friends... Really, it's just a reduction of size of the fat cells. You don't gain or lose fat cells outside of surgical procedures, but if you think of it as a balloon powered airplane, like we had when I was a kid, you aren't far off.

What's a size 2?

I used to pay Pac Bell for my phone service... Oh, and I remember when IBM made typewriters, and the 25 cent cheeseburger deals

Doesn't everyone know what those are?

Freezing them in individual wrappings works too. But when they thaw they will get soggy. For me, I just stopped baking, as there was so little I could bake that I could also eat.

If I could have hid the weight loss from my wife I would have. We were both losing weight, I just lost a lot more of it. Now she feels slighted somehow that I "got to go to the gym" more than she did, that I am being obsessive about what I eat, and that I am "making her feel fat". I see it for what it is, her frustration…

The fact that you were born the same year I graduated HS makes me feel very old...
