Bump, now I need to find a team! Anyone needs a guaranteed exerciser send me a PM and a friend request. I was a team leader the last time and that was just too hard for me but I'm a great team member!

But there are "magic" foods which will lead to water retention and, therefore, an apparent gain on the scale. As far as "starvation mode" I think it's mostly BS to be honest (at least in how people throw the term around on MFP). Yeah it will slow down but...people do STARVE, if you aren't taking in calories then you lose…

Not eating enough won't make you gain weight, can't make something out of nothing, if anything it would just slow ya down a bit after a week of not eating enough. Maybe it's WHAT you're eating, a lot of sweets or carbs instead of lean protein and veggies will do that for you, processed foods and high sodium, etc.

Sounds nummy! I'd love to see the pictures of what they look like :) I bet I can get my DH to eat these too!

Great job all!

I figured out that my night eating was related to boredom. Do you have any, or would you want to, take up a hobby that involves your hands but allows you to sorta zone to watch tv, listen to the radio, etc. I crochet which keeps my hands busy and out of the chip bag :)

MUAH HA HA HA HA Redskins WIN!! no extra miles for me this week :) Have fun running Giant fans :)

You could make home-made tortilla chips and a 7-layer dip, that always goes over well :)

Yep, made me think of those calcium chews or some kind of Activia-chocolate or something :)

Sour Patch candies :heart: Chex Mix Buffalo Wing Doritos I'm not a huge sweets person but sour and salty and I can't stop!

I'm from the DC area so of course I'm a Skins fan :) I still sorta think they'll lose but I'm not a fair-weather fan! If the Redskins lose by more than 7 then I'll walk/jog and extra mile a day for as many days as points they lose by :) That should help me! If the giants lose...guess I'll order wings and celebrate ;)…

Dag, what's the calorie count on that bad boy?

See, too bad weigh in wasn't today! I lost 1.1lb today, guess that will work out great by the time Monday rolls around again!

Nah! Save your hands and wear the gloves! I have to wear them when I use the rowing machine, I ended up with blisters and then figured that having nice hands was more important than what people thought at the gym :)

Great job everyone!

*groan* bad week...NEXT week though, THEN I'll gitchu!

Wait...let's back up...you iron your t-shirts before going to the gym? lol why? Good job on the NSV though!

That was WAY grosser than talking about cravings

Seasonale! Only three TOM a year...the ONLY way to live :) Ya know...assuming you're not trying to get preggers or something. Totally worth it

I would say that every little bit helps! Even if you are very overweight (i.e. obese) the National Institute of Health says that even 10lbs can make a dramatic difference in your health. "Falling off the wagon" just means going and catching back up! Wagons are notoriously slow moving and all your MFP friends are there to…

Yay! Week 6 is gonna be my week, you gals watch out! ;)

In San Francisco men can wear heels and makeup without getting weird looks :)

Apparently no one really READS the thread they just respond right off the bat! I have no answers to your question, sorry, but I enjoy seeing people say the same thing over and over when the explanation was right above them :)

I'm still trapped in DC, stupid transit system and the Feds shutting down early but it's alright, just means multiple glasses of wine this evening too...you know...to settle my nerves ;) I'll send a toast out to you as well!

Pretty sure guys feel like they win because you have boobs too :)

Week 2 weigh-in Start date: August 1 - 156.4 1st Weigh-in: August 8 - 154.2 2nd Weigh-in: August 15 - 153 Another 1.2lbs!

Yep, just talk about it out of earshot, hopefully if the parents have noticed enough to talk about it then they're talking about ways to help the kid fix the issues and get healthy...maybe use a new word like "fluffy" so the kid doesn't know what you're talking about...

Steamed chicken and vegetables! Very good and filling for few calories (get sauce on side) then ask if you can substitute brown rice for white (most restaurants have that option).

I can't give up on the Redskins...I have pajama bottoms, coffee mugs, and jerseys so there would be too much investment with no return. EVENTUALLY they have to get better...right? RIGHT? *sobbing into my keyboard*

Strange, only gives me the "you may not be eating enough calories" message when I eat fewer than 1200 calories, not when I just net fewer.
