Isla Fisher!

I "thought" mine was Ice Cream ... but I just found a really old tub in the freezer I just "resisted" so long I forgot it was there. I didn't forbid myself from eating it but eventually I felt no need.

I can't post pictures (never took a before one) but I can tell you FORGET THE SCALE! I would even recommend never using one again. Your body is such a weird thing that weight can fluctuate so easily. You have to ask yourself ... "do you really want to be lighter?" and I am referring to the actual definition of lighter.…

Don't call this a viscous cycle, I know that's what it feels like but when you refer to it you imply that it will always continue. Ignore my cheesiness but I'd prefer if people would call it a viscous (upward) spiral or something. In weight loss there will ALWAYS be ups and downs. Almost no one gets it "right" the first…

I always say whats the point of eating right if you are unhappy? Lots of us are here because we are unhappy we don't eat right and look it. So we begin to eat right and that makes us happy. When you begin to feel unhappy about what you can't do because you are just as bad as you were before. You have to do what makes you…

I don't know about the science behind it but I do know that when I was doing polyphasic sleep schedule (20 minute naps every 4 hours instead of a single 8 hour sleep) you obviously can not do the 3 meals a day routine. You would definitely need to eat more because you are more active longer in the day which means you are…

Cheat days are great, just admit it before hand and don't go over board. You won't gain all the weight back in one day, and if you admit that it is a cheat day BEFORE the cheating there is no guilt. What's the point of weightloss if you are just as unhapppy about what you don't get to eat. I am a big believer in balance,…

May take on goals is to have many small attainable goals. Take small steps. While you don't have to feel like a super hero because you attained your goal it will help in the long run. The problem with only having 1 goal that is your "ideal" weight is the time line. It may take a long time to reach that goal. Somewhere…

My first update, 2 pounds since initial weigh in. Wow it feels good to say that.

low rep high weight lifting will bulk you up. High rep low weight will tone you up.

Exactly! Thank you so much for the example.

It's always scary to give them though as you never know how they will be taken. (sexual harassment lawsuits come to mind)

No my post early explains why it is not fine while you have 50 lbs on the table still. I am not saying that if you are tired one day and don't feel like you can eat any more then you should HAVE to eat more. No, that's called listening to your body and is healthy. That is what you should do in that situation. Our bodies…

Not only that but this is why when you do break down you gain MORE weight because your body grabs on to every single calorie and holds on to it for the NEXT time you go without food. This is why yo-yo dieting can actually cause massive weight gain. The second law more specifically states that everything in the universe is…

You guys are on way too much of a "this side vs that side" debate here. Which is totally unnecessary because the original explanation didn't state a side. What you have to realize is weight loss exists right in the middle. Once you go to one of the extreme's the other side's argument breaks. That's because both sides are…

I'd also like to say that a calorie is simply a unit of measurement used to indicate the energy of the "stuff" in food. There are no "calories" in food like there is fat, carbohydrates and protein in food. In fact the calories come from that same fat, carbohydrates and protein. That said, you have to realize that since the…

Oh I am definitely not saying cut down on how much you eat. In fact the whole rant is why you should stop cutting down what you eat. I see some people on this forum who say they aren't losing weight then you look at their diary and they are constantly under their calorie goal every day. All I am saying is that Weight loss…

So seeing all the people who actually read this scared me. While I have the University physics classes to back up my knowledge of thermodynamics, and my arguments do make logical sense, I do not have any real knowledge of calorie consumption in the human body and while I never referenced such knowledge nor did I say I did,…

Advice, stop going under your calorie goal. Seriously. Weight loss isn't the simple math everyone thinks it is. It's not quite deficit=weightloss but its close enough to be used. MFP does it all for you. To lose (almost) consistent weight you should set MFP with the proper weight loss goal and daily you should have exactly…

Wow lot's of really great ideas. I love the blog. I was originally looking for how to eat healthy for the same price as eating not healthy but now instead of losing weight I can just balance it out via weight gain in my wallet. Yay!

Congratulations, thats a good place to be ... it's called "Happy" and I think we all strive for it. ... but what do you do to get optional health assessments?

Ya that's it ... now that I have your attention though, let's get to the good stuff. I am looking for tips for healthy foods on a budget. Any ideas? P.S. Don't kill me for my humor

I think you have come to the right place for buddies. We are all here for one another (or so I hear, I am also new :P ) I think everyone can use new friends though. It may look like I only want to lose 25lbs but I'm taking this one BMI rating at a time.

Ok .. here goes. I'm not talking to you any more that profile picture is just too tempting :P gosh now I'm thirsty! Seriously though, welcome. I am actually new too. I like the no hand holding too.

I agree, its all about where you put it. I weigh 245, and a couple days ago I had one of my friends try to guess my weight. She guessed 180 and she guess like 18 more times to get to my weight. I know where it all is though, I have HUGE thighs. My legs are really big and mostly fat, but being a guy I get to wear baggy…

Look at it this way, if you had the choice lose all your excess fat but your muscles became super heavy so you weighed 500lbs (but looked slim) or to replace all your fat with lighter fat (no change in body shape) so when you step on a scale you are greeted with a super low number. Which would you rather? That's all the…

Yes the other members have it mostly correct. bump on all message boards is the act of posting nothing relevent to the thread in order to keep it on the front page. When done by others as a compliment or sometimes (and under heavy scrutiny) by the OP (Original Poster) because it didn't get enough attention. Now on MFP,…

If you are going car camping the above is all great. Just grab any healthy snack and go. BUT If you are doing any exercise though remember you should be eating those calories. This means if you are backpacking or hiking you should be seeing a drastic increase in calorie intact! This is important, the trail is no place to…

No No! Definitely not! I'm thinking more Ryan Reynolds from "The Proposal"

Ah CRAP! I thought getting 8 cups of water in me a day was REALLY hard! Turns out I need 13 ... WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!
