Such a Wise Cat you are. :tongue:

True. I've spent more time posting in MFP forums this morning than working :ohwell: OOPS

Haha, fair enough but not even I ask for a wet wipe. I think a napkin would come first to my mind. :D Oh man this story is so stupid. She cleaned him up and gave him water to drink. Where did this water come from? Did she just happen to be running with a bottle of water? Perhaps it was in her bag but she needed to get to…

YES! THANK YOU. and the fact that he asked for wet wipes... What man asks for wet wipes?

You are on the same level of the soda can thrower.

RIGHT HERE. I weigh 165. GW 150-155. I hover between a size 8/10. I don't have a lot of fat to lose. I have to start losing muscle mass. Which i'm not too excited about because that means a lot more cardio. I've developed pretty good leg muscles from years and years of soccer. I've got to tone down the quad…

Woohoo! Good job miss!

Well, when i see the picture it definitely changes my discouraged feeling. Thank you. I think its because I had a BIG week the week before so i was hoping for a similar result. Especially since intensity and diet were good. Mirror is a MUCH better way. Scale just has that definite "answer" for you :) Hi to the…

SOOOOOO bummed. I lost 1lb. I thought it would be more. At least 2 lb. I feel a little discourage however, on a positive note I feel like I look a whole lot leaner and someone commented about it at the gym as well. I just have to keep going. Diet has been good and gym has been good. Lets keep going!!!!

My weigh in is today after work! I'm both nervous and excited! How is everyone else doing?

This is such a silly question to ask people. You clearly joined MFP for a reason. Also, some people might say "yes, you need to lose weight" some others will say " no! you look great! and others will say " well you're not overweight but you could probably lean up a bit" etc. etc. It could go on and on. You, yourself need…

I think that you should get a snack in post work out for muscle recovery. Carbs for the replenishment of glycogen stores; and lean protein to help repair muscle tissue. Chocolate milk is known to be a great post workout drink. Mixed with even just half a scoop of protein powder and you are not starving your muscles. EDIT:…

I use Jack3D and REALLY like it. Maybe about 3/4 of a scoop into 3/4 oz. of water and chug it about 45 min prior to my work out. I've used Geraniamo before from True Protein (True Nutrition) and can no longer find it (if anyone has an answer to that please let me know) that is why I went to Jack3D. I have also used 1MR…

Great post! I love that I love going to the gym and to miss a workout does in up with regret. I do watch TV and I was watching Big Brother and the contestants were shown working out and it made me want to go work out. Even though I had already been haha!

I basically tell myself I have to make it to my "appointment". If you had a trainer you would show up wel in this case you are your own trainer. Like the few posts above me, go for at least 20 minutes and when you are there its SOOOOO much easier to stay there to complete a full workout. I also watch motivational YouTube…

I agree with you.

So I weighed in at 170lb onb April 2nd and on following Tuesday (April 9, 2013) I was 166. Diet has been spot on and gym has been great. Energy levels are up! I have 6 more lbs to go until the end of April. My original goal is to lose 15 lb by end of May. IT WILL BE DONE!!!!!!!!

I am not clueless to the fact that people can still lose weight while eating ice cream or burgers or the other foods you mentioned above. I have a very good knowledge of weight loss and the science behind it. I like my view on weight loss and it works for me. If you deem it closed minded that is fine. It is merely my…

Fair enough. That is a valid point. I guess I just personally wouldn't eat it.

I would avoid ALL chinese take out. I don't understand why anyone would consider ordering chinese take out if they are trying to lose weight.

Calgary here!!!!

1. Eggs 2. Dairyland - Cottage Cheese - Fat Free 3. Chicken - Breast, meat only, cooked, roasted Protein much? haha Eggs are amazing. I"ll have them any and every way possible. Cottage cheese - I'll pour a table spoon of reduced sugar maple syrup for added sweetness Chicken - i think that one doesn't need any explanation.…

How's everyone doing! My weekend was spot on. No cheats! Today i'm craving every bad thing in the world. I went to the Community Health store to buy some Seasnax (seaweed) Spicy Chipotle flavored. I kind of cured the cravings but then i saw this rice krispie sort of treat. I bought it, bit into it and it was HORRIBLE.…

This is a tough one to answer because you can't target fat loss to specific areas. You're just going to have to keep working hard and those darned love handles will soon be gone.

Drinking. FOR SURE. Beergaritas

Well, the problem with clean eating at the source is in the dissection of nutritional information where biases are formed where some ingredients are therefore deemed good or bad. Margarine use to be considered good by the majority of people because it doesn't contain cholesterol or animal saturated fats, which was…

ButI dont think she can win the argument that its not a clean food. Do you? Some people would use margarine (because they can make "light" versions of it in place of the butter.) If you are eating clean and making a cake from scratch you would use butter not margarine and (in my opion) you are still eating clean.

I reread my post to make sure I didn't make a mistake but no triscuits and fritos are definitely not clean. I said store bought were complete no-nos

I haven't done too much research into the official meaning of "Clean Eating" but to me its food with 1 ingredient and no chemicals So chicken is chicken beef is well beef Tomato is a tomato and so on and so forthe Whereas cereal, frozen foods, packaged foods etc is a combination of ingredients we cannot pronounce. Now i've…

I think for the last 4 years I have been eating eggs everyday for breakfast. Depending on how i feel or if I"ve gone to Costco i'll have more egg whites Usually 3 eggs. If i'm super hungry, i'll do 2 eggs with 3 egg whites (thats where Costco come in). I get egg whites in the "milk carton" boxes. Super easy and if you…
