I wouldnt call it disgustingness first... It happens. For me a pot of spaghetti is like sex... I have a little, I want more and more... until I feel too full. [For you dirty minds, at this point, the analogy is over. So no comments. kthx!] I agree, let it go, but I would recommend not buying another -- why have the…

Thanks guys (and gals)! The old me would have eaten too. The new me still wants to eat, but does so within moderation. HA! I really look at a lot of past weekends as wasted. I played games on my computer and ate. Time to make a course change I say... :smokin:

Well this may be a bit of bragging, but... I decided to make this weekend an exercise weekend, because I was bored and broke. This is my weekly exercise summary: Daily Total / Goal: 80 / 30 544 / 400 (minutes) Weekly Total / Goal: 481 / 150 4315 / 2000 (calories) I would encourage anyone not sure what to do on the weekend…

Last summer I hammered out: 160 lbs - 8 180 lbs - 5 200 lbs - 3 reps flat bench... Maxed at 505 on leg press back in the day for 10 reps... Currently I am not in the heavy iron phase - i am all about light weights, high reps, and speed training... I have many goals, and one of them (besides fat loss) is speed for baseball…

-11 lbs (max) and probably -9 lbs, due to my moderate level of dehydration this morning, resultant from slightly too much alcohol over the last 4 days. But whatever! We all need a break sometimes. Eating has not been perfect, but the calories count has kept me from overeating even if its junk food. I've been drinking my…

Elliptical is a lot like running without the impact - and it took me over a month to "learn" the motion and not fall off or overspeed or other issues. It could be psycological - i can not do the stair climber that has the moving stairs... I can climb stairs fine, but that machine owns me. You should see a doc, if its…

I agree short sale is a risky avenue (thus it is advice) -- but i say it in this consideration: + If the bank calls the bluff, they still need an offer to complete a short sale. There has to be a buyer. + A short sale is less damaging than a foreclosure. + Your house has already lost value, how much time will it take to…

Well, I havent paid my mortgage in 120 days (90 late) -- i have no income and i am in an area where unemployement is probably 15%+... so let me render some advice, free of charge :bigsmile: A hardship letter should reveal as little as possible - i never like to play my cards up front. Google a hardship letter for a…

I too went out, and had Tom Kha Gai (i.e. Thai Coconut Soup) 675 calories, 41 g fat.... DAYAMMM still tasty though. :drinker: One day, one lunch wont kill... just try to keep good, and do your exercise, its all good.

general purpose response: protein will convert to fat if unused. (from my old fitness trainer) So if you're going over, make sure you're doing sufficient resistance training or weightlifting to burn it. Otherwise, cut back on the protein. Another rule of thumb from a book called the abs diet: Eat carbs at a 3:1 ratio to…

Atkins diet would "promote" ketosis processes by reducing carbohydrate intake and forcing the body to produce keto-acids and then burn them. Most issues with ketogenic diets are the transitions, into and out of. Into may be marked by exhaustion as the body exhausts its supply of glycogens, and a transitionary period may be…

DH? You have a designated hitter? I want one :bigsmile: I gave up eating out, which was modified to paying for what I eat out. A few people bought me some food, so i couldn't refuse. :smooched:

ok so i have never been married, engaged or anything except dating. I go to church, blah blah, lots of talk about marriage and how to be successful at it. The big thing for all of your husbands (and or wives, fiancees, etc.) is communication. You really have to sit down and say this is what I am doing ,and you promised to…

A short week, owing that I began with MFP on the 25th, but still a successful start. No exercise days missed, though need to add more running, less walking. Overall only one day over on calories (by like 70) and a project 10 lbs weight loss for the first month. "The beginning is the half of all; well begun, half done." --…

*takes notes* :glasses: :wink:

You did great! You would complete a 10k in 74 minutes, which would put you in the top 1/3 of men running the midnight sun run (10k race in Alaska when i lived there). Keep up the good work! I'll be joining you on the 5k runs 3x a week in about april or so.

So the recommendation is 8 cups per day. Easy. When I ran my intervals today, I sweated. As summer wears on here, its hard to walk outside without being drenched in sweat. So the question is, when running, is there a rule of thumb of water to add per exercise time? Just wondering given the earlier questions on drinking too…

thats a licence to have a poop-pep-talk with yourself. (in the voice of fat *kitten*) "What? Corn? I didnt eat any corn!" Pet peeve #377 of oh so many: people who drive 25 in a 45. Just... get... off... the... road...

triple post?! :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

double post... :blushing:

ahhh the old pants problem. congrats :drinker: perhaps a belt is in order... or maybe new pants?

do any of you have "cheat days" where you eat what and how much u want? It can help, and it can be a temptation too. ~G

Dunkin donuts > Crispy Creme oh no i didn't :noway:

Where are you sunflower? I used to live in Mammoth Lakes once upon a time. And thanks everyone for the welcoming :smooched:

Well I think that a) if you're within 5% its not going to make a difference. The numbers are just estimates anyhow. B) if you're under on carbs, I think you can probably safely ignore that as long as its fairly close. Over on protien, just make sure you do a slight extra bit of resistance training. Remember the numbers are…

Welcome! New myself and congratulations on the 26 years!
