My ex gf told me that i needed to learn to enjoy my own company...after we broke up. One of her many ways of letting me down easy i guess:( And yep, i get lonely nights..

whenever i lose a good chunk of weight, i get cold easier..i chalked it up to getting rid of insulation:)

i don't think a complete rest day is required. for example, i don't elliptical etc on sundays, but i do go for a good walk, weather permitting. i guess it all depends how strenuous we are talking.

my girlfriend and i went out for a no guilt valentine's dinner that included: -crabcake appetizer -vietnamese salad rolls appetizer 9 oz glass of behringer white zinfandel thick cut pork chop with apple sauce carmalized yams veggie mix it was yummy..and i didn't give a damn:)

wow..thats way higher protein level than i thought might be a good idea. interesting..

congrats on your weight loss success, by the way:) can you elaborate on what more protein does for u?

wow...i've enjoyed all the info provided here. there's something i'm going to try. that's a new thread!

good perspective.and good results. i always check for confirmations on food i enter here..and do it pretty religiously. pretty low on calories, weight loss is in fits and starts (last week great, this week, working my butt off..and nothing) frustrating. makes me wanna eat a big *kitten* mcdonalds meal:)

cheesecake...chocolate covered almonds...pizza..sorry, couldn't choose only 1 from all the options. i'm really dying for a great pizza i guess..but it would have to be the best pizza i ever had!

great topic..and great thoughts. i've had some of these as well as i lost a fair bit of weight...then gained 40 lb of it back and some days i've convince myself i am happier that the loose skin is "filled out" then not. but, it is what it is and everyone is right. better to be healthy and able to do the things you want to…

what she said. i'll look at eating back when i'm at target weight. i do a cheat day every sunday too.

we;re in the same club:) congrats fellow 20 lber!

i wouldn't worry about being over protein. just drink lots of water to help your kidneys process. the basic carb/fat/protein proportions here from what i recall don't have a very high protein level anyway.

we had these for dinner tonight. used prego and tex mex cheese mix. awesome!

my god.. you and your family should be so proud of you!

I call it "funday" (as in sunday..bigger breakfast with family sunday, bigger sunday dinner with family) i allow myself to eat up to my my maximum calories but it also tends to be a non workout day as well for me. i get a good walk in if the weather's nice, but no gym..and i don't go nuts on the eating..it's too depressing…

add me if you like and i'll cheer u on:)

lots of water is key when adding a high dose of protein to your diet. first, to help avoid constipation..and more importantly, there's a reason why a protein diet (all protein , very high protein) diet long term is dangerous. your kidneys need help help processing the additional protein so take plenty of liquids. i only…

love portobello mushrooms..they are good too with a bit of olive oil and that dark vinegar and any other seasoning you like (like you use for dipping focaccio) marinate in a baggie for a day in the mix, then put some shredded skim milk mozzarella on top and bbq!

bump lol

add me and i'll push you everyday:) u can do the same back!

HI there. first of all, i commend you on your exercise regime. that is impressive..stick with that, you will lose weight. now, if you don't mind a bit of feedback on it, i looked at your food diary..and i'll relate it back to me so you know, it's not like it's easy for me to get the results i have so far and what i needed…

libland, you nailed in on the head. that's how i feel after i have it...

I am ashamed to admit i like mcdonalds..and it can be one of my worst enemies cause it's cheap and plentiful. (food for a recession, as some call it). and quite frankly, they've always had terrible meat products. i simply cannot eat it anymore.
