This is why I workout at home. It's too intimidating to go to a gym. I wouldn't bring my cell, I would wipe off after use. But I'd also be afraid of getting in some experienced person's way. The ONE TIME I went to check out the gym down the street I looked like an idiot because they only have staff from 10 to 4 and the…

I'm a SAHM for two kids (2 and 3) and I know exactly what you mean! You are master of schedule...you should schedule your own meals too!! I founds that when I started MFP a year ago, my kids meals changed too. They eat more regularly (at the same time), and better foods in general.

SOME calories did enter your system. If you're looking to be exact, measure your vomit and deduct from what you originally entered.

I was trying to lose baby weight and I was still breastfeeding... I wish I know I should have calculated breastfeeding calories into my daily allowance earlier as my milk supply suffered for a few weeks (good thing my baby had already started solids). Baby exclusively BF +500 cals. Baby eating solids too +300 cals.

I have a friend who whole-heartedly loves the little things that make people unique. She told me that my ugly toenail is one of my best features because not everyone has an ugly toenail. Her husband is missing the tip of his pinky finger and she calls it her favorite and lucky finger. Some people in this world are so…

LOLZ Of all the mental health issues, Borderline Personality Disorder seems the most fun.

Oh gosh. The holidays brings out the most creative attempts at compliment fishing I've ever seen. That, or I've been away from the forums too long. Hey, is there a term for compliment desperate people? It's not trolls, is it? There should be a term for compliment fishers...

Yep

Before my injury I personally preferred the treadmill. I found that the scenery outside was too interesting and distracting. The treadmill keeps me at an even speed, I have a less chance of tripping (I'm a klutz). I can use it any time of the day, any day of the week in any weather. Some people watch TV while running, but…

HOLY SMOKES! AMAZING! ETA: Thanks for adding the last pics. They are profoundly realistic and actually inspire me more. Seriously. I hope you are actually proud of the skin because it shows your hard work and dedication.

Keep 'em coming!!

What would I prefer to hear people say to me in my journey to a happier, healthier me? That I'm shrinking away to nothing. Also, telling me I look fabulous. These things are great to hear. *snicker*

Double this. Times infinite.

I am 2 weeks out of boot, 4th week of PT for a grade 2 sprain. Was in a boot for 8 weeks, 6 weeks of it non-weight-bearing. Still can't walk without limping. I have about another 4 weeks of PT at least. I was told to use a stationary bike. For you, you can put your boot up and use your good leg to pedal until permission to…

http://theshapeofamother.com/ Beautiful site. Be proud of yourself. :)

Fabulous. So inspiring!

^^ This. 85 lbs in 5 months? Like 4-5 lbs per week? Bump for answer.

Thanks for all the various responses. I was hoping to hear all kinds of different perspectives. It was a curious exchange for me. In my life, I usually interact with a 2 and 3 year old all day. Sometimes I have to remember that if someone wants to take my turn, throwing a fit on the floor is not an acceptable response.…

Imma gonna add to this one too... - I started C25K in January when I first started MFP. I injured my meniscus in both knees from the sheer impact on the weak and underused joints. - Switched to walking and 5 months later developed a case of plantar fasciitis. Have been treating it with massage therapy and RX orthopedic…

I do it about every 10 lbs. I think doing it monthly is a good idea tho. Esp if you are aiming for recomposition. Even if it doesn't look like a change for one month ago, you should see awesome things doing an overall comparison. I sure wish I did more before or beginning of journey pics. I avoided the camera like the…

Sounds like she sucks and you are awesome. High five for being better at diet and exercise than she is. You will be successful where she will fail. She's just trying to sabotage your efforts because she is jealous of your desire and drive for change and all that jazz. ^ I think that about covers it all. /end thread

I don't like what the Elf represents. I don't want to scare good behaviour out of my kids. There are pictures on my facebook feed of little kids bawling because the Elf is going to tell on them to Santa because they ate a cookie without permission. They are 3 years old! Unless parents are willing to follow thru on Santa…

I've been waiting 6 weeks for an MRI on my ankle. My MIL from TX is staying with me to help me with the kids while I'm non-weight bearing. She is SHOCKED since she was in for an MRI within 2 weeks for her elbow tendinitis. Here I am with an acute injury, and I'm killing time. However, I haven't paid not one cent out of…

No cal counting at all. But, like everyone else, I make sure they have a balanced diet. That means fruits and vegs as well as healthy fats to help them grow. I only limit juices and never feed them soda. My daughter goes ape-poopy when she has too much sugar, so that stays on the down-low too. No kidding. She goes crazy…

Give the guy a break. He burned his penis off three years ago. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/ouch-channing-tatum-severely-burns-his-penis-2010121

It is possible. Indeed. I developed a bad intolerance to wheat and dairy out of seemingly no where in my mid 20s. However, pregnancy helped RESOLVE the problems! What pregnancy does to the body is insane.

LOL @ transplant! Something similar happened to me at a birthday party for my daughter's friend a month ago. Some of the grandparents were sitting around and said, "Shay's husband and her kids are here, but where is Shay?" I was RIGHT THERE! Seriously? I have the same face. Did they only see my butt before? :laugh:
