When kids say it, I take it as a good "rebukin" (God love their honesty) But when adults say it, it hurts like hell.. When family say it it, it makes me cry. But as good old Blue Eyes says "When I find myself, flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race"

This is an interesting discussion... But I think this person said it... You gotta count the coffee cream and the sugar....and what about those little nibbles of things lying around? I've only lost three pounds in three months. 1600 cals a day. Sun to thurs. And it's got everything to do with my sabotage weekends. Also, I…

I was thin for 33 years. bahhhhhh But I love my brain now, not back in my youth.

Please don't do the 1200 cals a day thing though....I think that's a MFP default for losing a pound a week. (right or wrong?) Good luck to you, and keep us posted :drinker:

did she save some dough for toutons??

Thanks everyone! I think I've got you all :) I've lived in Toronto and Halifax as well...and a little place called Milton, in Ontario..I think I was "away" for a bout 10 years or so. We moved back home for various reasons: school, raising kids, and its soooooo much easier to buy a house here. I was skinny for 33…

So then where are you from so I can make fun of you? :tongue:

Newfoundland! or Alaska

me too

Anything that you should be doing with the significant other that you are doing with a stranger

Agreed. And use of the word "gay" as in "That is so gay"

The C word...C U next Tuesday..

Eat a sensible meal before you go. And good luck!

Forgetting my damn sneakers. I did that last night. Or when my earbuds crap out...or when someone has the music on too loud and I can't hear my own tunes.

I AM SO JEALOUS!!! But in a good way. I am afraid if the big barbells at the moment....But I am so glad you posted this. And please, KEEP us posted! Share your story with as many people as possible....not just here on MFP :)

okay, thank you :)

I go by what the machines say....the ellipitical is usually 250-300, a little less on the treadmill....(jogging) (30 mins!) and I just log my half-hour of weightlifting as 100 cals burned. My diary is open to friends...

I use measuring cups and tablespoons and the like, but no scales

yes. She is pretty a pretty good sleeper.

Let your emotions ride out. Cry when you want to. Put a pen to paper. Stay off social media sites. Talk about it to a close friend. Don't get wasted!

No, I am not weighing my food.... I was told to eat an extra 300 cals for baby... thanks everyone, keep the suggestions coming...

When I was eating 1600 cals a day, I truly never, ever felt deprived. I was even eating a donut just 'cause I could...mind you, I would definitely go to the gym if I ate a dount.

I LOVE YOU! I'm 37

paulylovesme: I can't guess because I already know!

[/quote] "and jodi, it is hard to go 6-7 times a week, 3-4 is way better than nothing, keep it up. lifes a busy b#$% haha do what you can" thanks...I also do cardio before my weights....20 mins cardio, 30 mins weights, then another 10 mins of cardio to finish off.

Me too! I just guess it was because all my fat is turning to muscle. (I remember reading it many years ago - this was before the Internet, lol) But it's still tough to keep at it when you don't see results right away. Add me if you'd like. I'm lazy and only work out an hour 3 to 4 times a week....keep up the good work…

I was on both many years ago...there was no change in my weight at all...(but I was in my 20s and had a very high metabolism). I got back on extended release Effexor a few years ago (I'm 37 now) but it made me way too tired and with a young child, I could not take them anymore... The Dr told me a side effect IS weight…

yesssss.. And many other reasons...Like snapshots of your dinner....

Lucy Punch....Amy Squirrel, lol

Is that chalk dust? Or are you at Charlie Sheen's house again?!
