I should have read this post before I posted mine! I think I'm in the same boat. I'm scared to try something else yet again, but I can't help but think that some of my binge-eating issues over the past year or two came from years of such low intake. I also lost my mom to cancer in the time between hitting Lifetime and now…

Hi all, I found this thread coming back to MFP after going back to WW in August. I just got a Garmin Vivosmart which syncs w/ MFP so I figured, what the hey? I'll double-track for a bit and see where I'm at. I just tracked a typical day on WW for me at 26 pointsplus here on MFP and holy crap, it was like 1300 calories. I…

I would never want to eat/hang out with this person. Who needs that *kitten*?

Oh, god. Get off my skin, Larry. We talked about this.

I have a sensitivity to whey according to one of those finger-stick food sensitivity tests you can have a doctor or naturopath do. Not sure how accurate the tests are overall, but whey definitely makes my stomach yucky. Headaches, dizziness, stomach ache, overall pukey feeling. I can't do Quest bars in particular. They…

So what, OP?? That's their call, not yours. You do you. Let others do the same.

I've done the herbalife mixes. IMO there's a decen amount of good stuff in those shakes, but also a lot of not-good stuff, like chemical sweeteners, which it's really best to avoid. Shakes are not a bad way to supplement if you are not getting everything you should from your diet, but there are MUCH better shakes out…

Squats, lunges, deadlifts, and spin class.

I dont, I roll my eyes at the dumbass guys throwing/dropping weights, or using up a bench chatting rather than working, when I need said bench. Is that ok?

I heart this thread.

You are GORGEOUS. Congrats. What an inspiration! :)

Huh, this thread didn't explode like I expected it to!

Oh man. Can of worms in 3.... 2.... 1..... There are many schools of thought on this, and it's a very heated debate. I'm not sure exactly where I stand with it, since there is plenty of 'science' to back up both sides. I think you just have to try different things until you find your own sweet spot. Try increasing your…

garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder! no need to use oil to stick it, it will stick to the popcorn enough for flavor. I do this all the time! :)

Yes, you stated yourself that you went from 1100 to 1800 and lost. o.0

^^THIS. There's a whole lot of Live-And-Let-Live missing from this place.

That said, wow. She looks amazing.

....and a boob job.

^^THIS.

Gosh, me too. Me too.

Usually if you're feeling up to working out, it's probably ok to do so, just go somewhat easy and see how you feel. Rule of thumb for exercising while ill is that if your symptoms are from the neck up (ie headache, stuffy nose, sore throat) you're good to go if you feel like it. If they are below the neck (fever, chills,…

^^THIS. 1000xTHIS.

wow, pretty eye-opening when you put it like that. Congrats on your realization and on your progress. you're off to a really great start! :)

Fantastic!!! Thanks for letting us know how you did. Congrats. :)

You will do fine! I'm an instructor and trust me, there are all ages, sizes, and fitness levels in class. Bring a water bottle and a towel, and get after it! :) You can take breaks anytime, just sit down and pedal till you recover enough to jump back in. Don't worry about people judging, just do your thing. I bet you will…

The answer is "both".

5 years. We had bought a house before I got a ring. I was ready but not chomping at the bit. He was ready but just took a while to get his butt in gear w/ it. I really didn't sweat it because I knew the commitment was there. I had my moments where I felt like "ok, dude, I'm 30, you're 27, let's get this show on the road",…

Do some non-intense cardio and stretch those glutes afterwards! And if you have a foam roller, roll it out! Getting on the floor and rolling your glutes around on a tennis ball or lacrosse ball will hurt like hell but you'll feel better faster! PS nice work getting the DOMS! :)

I need an eyeroll gif.

Holy schnikeys. That's a lot. I pay $160/month for unlimited. I could go to every WOD if I wanted to. PS, I am aware those aren't pullups in the gif. However, I have never once heard of 'butterfly pull-ups', just kipping. And those sure as hell ain't kipping pullups. Just sayin.
