Shame on you Kadybaby for trying to give some advice that will help her not only with her goals but her long term health as well. Dont you know that you are only allowed to tell people that they should eat what ever they want, when ever they want, ESPECIALLY if it is fast food and processed? My goodness who would guess on…

Glad you are getting rid of the abusive *kitten*. Trust me when I say, if you lost all the weigh and died your hair blonde, he would find something else to demean you for. Kind and loving men do not treat women that way, period. PS: I had a guy like that, it was not until I was finally away from him that I realized all the…

Here is the deal, it does not effect anyone else if a person decides to cut out sugar of their life. Just like it should not effect anyone that I have cut alcohol out of my life. There are people that actually get angry with me for not being able to have a drink, I really do not see what business it is of theirs. I have…

WHAT???????????????????/ Dude, just please stop talking now, just stop........

There is some kind of alcohol in most everything....It is fermented and distilled versions of ethanol that alcoholics have a problem with....

I am just wondering, why people that have no problem with moderating sugar, are actually arguing with people that feel they have a problem with it and are trying to band together for support? Control issues much?

Yep, I started sexting my husband pictures of myself when he was in meetings at work.

You need to find your countries version of the state medical board and turn her in. That person should NOT be practicing medicine....period.

When I was in weightloss mode, my goal rewards were the 5 for $26 panties at Victoria Secret. I do not know why, but I really feel sexy when wearing a pretty pair of panties.

Yep, I agree with the statement. I used to drink to much when I drank. I had no desire to stop drinking, I loved it. UNTIL, something bad happened to me in my own home that made me realize that I had a problem with alcohol, so I stopped because I wanted it bad enough. I loved smoking, love love loved it. Until I got a call…

Ugh, that kind of thinking kills people. I AM a recovering alcoholic and have had people make the attempt to shame me and tell me that my issue is self control and that I should be able to have a drink or two. Well, I cant, and I have tried. I do not see what the big freaking deal is to people that get their panties in a…

I have had a lot of comments, like "lay off the crack pipe" and "you need to eat a cheeseburger". I thought those were rather rude and insuting comments coming from haters that were not willing to do the work I was to get where I was.. THEN My Dr had a fit and told me that I needed to stop losing weight THEN My sister…

It does not need to be rinsed. I eat it as a side. I flavor the water with garlic powder, dried onion, or what ever I feel like. Cooking it in chicken broth is great too. You can use it for anything you would use rice in. It reheats rather well. I do a fantastic roasted vegetable and quinoa bowl with feta and pumpkin seeds…

Anything labeled as a "diet food" aka sugar substitute, fat free and crap like that. I do not diet, I have a life style in which I make better choices most of the time and when I make a series of bad choices and have to lose weight, I go on calorie restriction, which basically means I eat a couple hundred calories less…

You need to eat back your exercise calories if you are on a 1200 per day diet. You will mess yourself up big time by netting less than 1000 calories a day. Its dangerous and not healthy.

Do you have any American Indian in you? It has to do with your neurological pathway. Some of us are wired differently than others. Most people that are capable of drinking in moderation have an off switch, they get tired and do not want anymore. Then there are people that are not born with that switch in their brain. Even…

Here is a good one, sweet and spicy. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=360515704023011&set=pb.282449018496347.-2207520000.1393183198.&type=3&theater

Lesson learned. The most important thing is you recognize that you made a mistake and you are taking the steps to do the right thing next time, that is pretty darn awesome. I can not tell you how many people that would have said "screw it, I ruined my weekend so I will start over again on Monday". You are starting over…

Yes, when we find foods, or anything for that matter, that we can not consume in moderation, we have to give them up completely. For the people that are saying that they could never imagine not eating a christmas cookie or a candy on halloween, trust me when I say, its okay and we do not have to indulge in these things…

I looked at your diary and really believe that it is your diet that is the problem. I highly recommend more fruits and vegetables and less refined and processed carbohydrates.

Wow, this made me so incredibly emotional, in a beautiful kind of way. Thanks for sharing, you look great!

This is where I was 2 years ago and I had to up my calories by 200. I started losing again at a rate of .4 lbs a week, but it came off and I was much happier. I was eating 1200 calories though, so I was not eating near enough to sustain me and be happy.

Well, according to my own scientific study over the last 45 years, I will say that children I know that have been spanked (not beaten) have been better behaved than children who were not. I also find it amusing that several parents I know that do not spank brag about how good their children are and how they have not needed…

You can get one heck of a good start for your family vacation next year. Hang in there, you can do this. I think you are going to be super pleased with the 40 that you do drop by then. :flowerforyou:

When I came to MFP I was 43 and looking to lose that last 6 lbs a 40 something wants to lose. I am 5 foot 3.5 and was 118 wanting to get to 112. I was on the MFP setting 1200 per day. I kept reading how I needed to eat more to lose and could not wrap my head around it. After losing a couple of pounds I stalled and nothing…

If you can afford it and have a hard time working out alone, then yes, they are worth it as they are an investment into yourself.

The calories getting stored is not my opinion, it is a scientific fact. She stated two or three pints a couple of times a week. Alcohol is a different monster than food. We do not need alcohol to survive. If some one has an issue with cutting down alcohol to make their selves healthier, then they have a bigger problem than…

Not true, alcohol is not a normal calorie: Alcohol is also metabolized differently from other substances, and it affects the way your body handles carbohydrates and fat. When alcohol is present, your body starts to process it right away instead of focusing on the things it would normally work to break down, like sugars and…

I am just wondering how you came to hate veggies? Were you a picky eater when you were little and your parents forced you to eat them or did they allow you to eat what you chose? I am just wondering how all these people I see every day on MFP hate vegetables and water. I do not get it. And to answer your question, here are…
