I log in everything, except herbs and spices. AIN'T NO BODY GOT TIME FOR DAT :laugh: :huh:

Working out. I can handle the food, no problem. The exercise? That is an issue I am working out now (pun intended). Now that it is significantly warmer outside, there is only a small window of opportunity to go out and run, early in the morning or late at night. I tell myself that if I work out late, I won't sleep. Then I…

Way to go! You look great! Congratulations on quitting smoking, that along with weight loss, is no easy task!

I count everything as water. Coffee, tea, soda water. I do, however, drink my coffee black, my tea plain, and my soda water without flavoring.

Here is a fantastic article by Swanny320: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/761810-the-starvation-mode-myth-again

A nice, thin, LARGE slice of NY cheese pizza and an ice cold beer. Not to mention the ranch (you know, to dip your crust in) :love:

1999 black Mitsubishi Mirage. Ohh the memories :)

This, this is a win.

It's actually still in my mouth, haha, it's Frigo Head's Light Swirls String Cheese.

I totally agree! When I kept reading about upping your calories, I thought, WTF AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO CUT CALORIES? But, I figured hey, I LOVE FOOD, so I should at least try it. Needless to say, the weight does come off much easier when you up your calories. I'm not even trying that hard and I'm losing.

3 Chicken Tacos with lettuce, (cilantro if they have it or cheese if they don't) and medium salsa. I then top my taco with the green hot sauce. Oh, and 2 oz of their cilantro rice :)

And then you probably gained it all back, plus some. Why would you advocate this?

I'm in! This sounds amazing, thank you!!!

It will get easier, and you will begin to find out what you like most. I started off hating, and I mean LOATHING walking. However, it was the only activity that I could do, because I was so out of shape. I kept at it for a few months, and then I began to notice weight loss. Even after the weight loss, I still kinda hated…

I like my coffee like I like my men, black. Haha.

Tom, congratulations on making this step towards a healthier you! I wish you all the best in your endeavors!!

Bump!

This is why I love MFP. There is so much support!

That is fantastic! I love how you drew in your bathing suit, haha! Great job!

Woah, love ths quote!

I used to fudge numbers, then I noticed that I was starting to gain weight. Fudging numbers only hurts you in the long run. If you see a negative, go out and take a 10-20 minute walk. Much better than lying to yourself.

WOW, finally a win against Monsanto!!

Jif Natural Creamy Peanut Butter. It has less sugar, and tastes AMAZING!!

My previous supervisor had brought me to this website, so she was my original IRL friend, haha. Now there is 4: Prajan, Raven, Brittany, and Liz.

I remember this one green shirt that I have. It was my go to shirt. Now when I wear it, it's really loose and doesn't look as good anymore! I know the feeling! Congratulations on losing 70.8 pounds!!

I've done a 24 hour, once every few weeks, fast. I do this to help my digestive system repair itself. I try to do it every week, but that takes a little more self restraint. Here is a good article from NPR about the health benefits of 24 hour fasting: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16513299

I totally agree with you!!

Bump!

@ jzalisa: Muscular!
