Well if your name has 'OSX' in it, you can be a Nerd, but not a Geek.

Is this really still an issue? I was born in 1960, and I honestly thought that kind of thing wasn't even an issue any more. I am very sorry that it still is. Wow. I'm just blown away. :(

Why not try one day eating all of your calories, or maybe two and see how you feel? Severely restricting calories, then having a higher calorie day sometimes works wonders for weight loss.

I am very happy for you!!!! :heart: Gratz!

Oh I remember well. Just yesterday I read an answer to a post by someone who - by their avatar pic - has been using way too much HCG - and I began to miss you a great deal. The muscle head had not only insulted someone asking a genuine question, but had given them absolutely rotten advice. I must have invoked your name -…

Banks!!!!! I've thought about you a lot since I've been back and you were absent. I've frankly avoided the forums lately because they have become quite 'judgey' - but I've never known you to be. It's great to see that you are still out there - hope you and your wife are both doing well. avalonwomon: Honestly Banks is not…

Unfortunately sometimes you plateau. It should not be a long one, considering your youth. Try to be patient, and indeed changing things up like now_or_never1 can help a great deal. Try eating more protein and less carbs - if you aren't doing that already. Your body will adjust and you will start losing again. Good luck and…

Try thinking this: I am helping my children become independent adults. When THEY are in the same boat as I am in right now they will know that it's okay for them to go be kind to themselves. It honestly is better for them to have a strong independent Mom that will always be there for them when they NEED her. Not just when…

OP: Being a mom has many phases, just like life. Sometimes you feel very close to your children, sometimes you do not. I can tell that you love them, and that, above all else, will get you all through it. You don't have to be 'there' for your kids 100% of the time. If we were then our children would never grow up to be…

Don't forget to eat enough healthy fats. Once I started to eat healthy fats - like EVO - and Coconut Oil I stopped having so many cravings. As for the carb cravings, you can get rid of them somewhat but you have to fight at the beginning. It gets easier with time. I know you can do it!

I hope you stayed home. You felt guilty because you love your son more than yourself. That's okay, I get that. But you have to be healthy in order to be there for him - to adulthood. Cause he's not going to stop wanting or needing you once he turns 18. You're in this for the long haul. And secondly - you're worth it. Love…

Bobbie Clerici said: "Because individuals who don't take care of themselves should not expect others to pay their way. You want to live free and get fat? You may also live with the consequences. Just don't make it my problem. " Whoa - who peed in your wheaties this morning. She's here. She's doing the right thing. From…

You came to the right place!!!!!!!!!!!! Always remember you may have a high weight loss goal, but you are worth it, and you can do it.

I will judge you on the facts: You are a STRONG women - my gosh you lost weight while pregnant because you knew it was the best for you and the baby. You are courageous - You have decided on a goal and you are obviously courageous enough to make it. Your post was transparent, truthful and I thought beautiful. I'm rooting…

I think you must have meant 1337. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and figure that you are joshin' us, cause that statement is just too funny. :)

Ditch the fear. There is nothing to be afraid of. You can do this, you've done it in the past. Maybe you just needed a vacation from this. If so it's not the end of the world. Have a cheat day once in a while if you are feeling deprived. Give yourself a break. The biggest thing is to know that you and your health are worth…

I forgive myself, and start again. Each day is a brand new day. Look forward not backwards. We're human, therefore we will make mistakes. It's not the end of the world, in fact - it's a brand new day. :) Love yourself, love your family, and love life. And start again.

Both. I know what I"ll be eating for Breakfast, 2 snacks and Lunch before Breakfast so I log it then. Then for the rest of the day I log it as soon as I know I'm going to eat it.

That's fantastic! Good work at that boot camp!!

"It's just a flesh wound!" Welcome!

The key to keeping up with exercise is to find something you love to do. Do you like to garden? It's also good for making your home look extra beautiful. Take walks, perhaps not just in your neighborhood, but in a nearby park with some wooded trails where you can view the beautiful scenery and wildlife - also good for the…

You don't have to limit yourself to 'breakfast food'. You can eat anything healthy for breakfast - Yesterday I made two little 'pizza's' out of 2 pieces of Wasa whole grain crisp bread with cherry tomatoes, green onions, shredded provolone, salt and pepper - then into the toaster oven. Low cal, well rounded.

Here is a very good article that talks about the difference between Simple and Complex Carbohydrates. White has simple, and wheat has complex - which are better for you: http://www.livestrong.com/article/117576-carbohydrates-wheat-vs.-white-bread/

I'm with you. I dropped out of the 'social' aspect of MFP some time ago, because it seemed like there was more snark than support. it can be turned around however.

Hudson is Haitian, he's not a missionary, he lives and grew up there. Missionaries are good, but he's just a man who has lived there all his life and saw a need and wanted to do something about it.. And while he's also a Pastor, his primary purpose and goal is to see to their needs, get them fed and educated. And that…

Here is a link to a Video taken by one of our Pastors of the Schools that we support in Haiti http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FFlS4EUP0Y

I don't normally ever solicit for anything - but close associates of mine live in Haiti - my Church helps to support a man by the name of Hudson Michelle who runs 3 schools in Haiti with 250 students and he also pastors a church of 150 people. He's a GREAT man, one one who cares nothing for fame or fortune. He cares about…

Right now you are faced with a choice. Are you going to let that lie define you, or are you going to choose to live your life in the light of the truth. The awful thing he said was an evil lie. So you can choose to believe it and let it haunt you or you can do what I know you will do: Live with the truth and only the…
