Me! I LOVE walking. In the summer my daughter and I walk for about an hour to 1.5 hours a night talking and just enjoying summer :) I'm not sporty at all, neither is she.. it's a great way to bond and enjoy the outdoors

I just want to say.. I really appreciate the feedback. I didn't think I would get so much awesome info! Lots for me to "digest" hehe.

LMAO at the math problem. I have to giggle at that because those math problems pretty much often have both answers as being right depending on how you work it out/view it. Arguing over how right your answer is when both are, in fact, correct. It's a really good point. I could view the other person as being correct in a…

I'm good at not being right. Even when I know I am lol Hence why I walked away from the "conversation". Yes!! I USE " does this really matter" constantly!! it's why I don't fight. A friendship etc is pretty much always more important than a topic. I will try the compliment sandwich more. I use this at work when I have to…

I do this constantly because I'm socially awkward. I know this lol I was in "talk mode" though and I was having a conversation with a friend that had asked me if fatty foods make people fat. The short answer is "no". The long answer was what I was trying to explain to her. She was starting to have fears of eating things…

Other said person put in their two cents. I was having a conversation with someone else and they interjected their views on fats. Which is whatever.. that's fine. But it was misguided information :/ Life ISN'T a public forum!! you are so right!!!

Yes!! I "move on" often. I'm not there to teach people who aren't interested in hearing something else. Often I'll ask them where they got their information. "It's common knowledge" is a comment response lol. I also try and take into account their source and what info they have. If I'm wrong, I want to bloody know! I don't…

Those are words I never use lol I don't link giving credit when it's not there. This isn't *my fault* and I need to work on that. I can't be responsible for how others react, but I can try and make it less likely that they will respond negatively with how I word things. I just don't work that way. Facts and information are…

How to use MFP. - Use the tools to figure out how many calories you should be consuming in a day to create a deficit. Stick to THAT. ( THIS WILL CHANGE AS YOU DROP THE WEIGHT). Just an FYI. You will have to recalculate this ever 10 or so lbs ( depending this varies for people also ). You can either change the amount of…

life changing for how I see foods. I realized how WRONG the serving sizes I was having. I would measure out a cup and then measure it out on the scale ( you will also!! lol we need this validation ) and I did notice the difference. If you do it with all your food, over a course of the week, that adds up to a big difference…

I hardly ever eat breakfast. It isn't the end all. It's about the total day for calories in and calories out. If you need to eat breakfast to not binge at 10-11am, then you should have breakfast. If you are not hungry and don't need to eat it, don't.

Who ever told you that.. kick 'em lol Weak is relative... You are doing great ! you got out there, tried something new.. sucks you are paying for it today.. maybe try to not push SO hard next time.. but it does mean you were enthusiastic and got your move on hehe..

Maple lattes at bridgehead are out!!! ... anything mapleif I'm being honest.. Is my Canadian showing yet?

salt bath. Compresses.. WATER ( ingested ).. I eat banana's after a good workout.. if that helps.. I dunno, but in my head it does and sometimes that's all it takes. Don't sit for too long.. you will notice it will hurt more .. keep walking and keep moving a bit. oh.. and pain killers haha.. I only resort to that when it…

it's not a race.. you are doing AMAZING!! why set yourself up to fail? I say keep going and don't be obsessed with the scale ( I know!! not easy to do!! ) Set smaller goals.. as you progress, it will get harder and harder to drop the weight. Keep that in mind and DON'T let it discourage you!! YOU ARE DOING…

What are you trying to detox from? What horrible chemicals have you been ingesting? Cleanses don't do much, other than often rid your body of fluids you need which makes it LOOK like you dropped weight. When you see the scale move quickly, it's not fat that is gone but fluids. You will put that "weight" back on once you…

warm tea ( no caffeine ) .. hot bath.. reading ( no blue screen). no tv... I wouldn't even do any soft music because that can stimulate the brain too much.. low lights.. start all this a good 2 hours before bed. I can't workout later at night because that keeps me up.

Sipping my Timmies right now. I only started drinking coffee a few years ago. I dunno how I managed prior to that lol

At least it wasn't a moose :neutral: Trying to find the bright side to all that ...

oh.. that always sucks... welcome to Monday :|

OH BEGISISH.. Someone has the smarts this time change Monday morning.. Getting on that now.

OH hello Monday time change morning....

Yes! Makes all week a Monday BLAH BLAH BLAH.. I got up all perky with full of zest this morning.. but WOW, 3 hours later and I'm searching mentally for my bed..

Yep.. it is! I have a desk that also ... I use my 15 mins breaks and my lunch. I make sure I walk around every hour. I do extra silly things at home to ensure I get more steps in. Park far away from grocery store entrance, walking as I fold my laundry etc etc. Our jobs are just that.. jobs..but our health is worth more.…

I can "gain" 2-3 lbs in a day and I'm short with not a huge amount to drop.... BREATH! you are doing great! Congrats on the 40lbs! Stay focused, don't let it affect you! You CLEARLY have this! and yay on clean condo! That can affect mood and keep you optimistic :smile:

Pathetic how? You are right, IT ISN'T! This is a support site :) Good on you for knowing what you need/want and just asking for it!
