Being equal has nothing to do with how you are treated (sterio typical man/woman roles). Also your preference is assertive men. Playing a game of catch me if you can is juvenile. I never chased a guy because those are not the type I was into....I always liked confident, assertive and straight forward men. I did not avoid…

After seeing more posts of yours OP......I am going to come off judgemental..... Screw the weight, screw honesty and screw anything he wants. His attitude towards your children is sociopathic, unhealthy and honestly dangerous. As a Mom your first priority is your kids, by laughing about what this creep says or how he…

I agree with the "if you have to ask"... The answer is no. To be blunt, if he doesn't want or express the want to be around you as much as you want to be around him.....it isn't worth it. As for dating rules, who comes up with this stuff. Having a vagina or a penis does not dictate who calls or asks out. That is just silly…

Some people are just inconsiderate. When my sister was getting married, on of her bridesmaids became pregnant and ruined the symmetry of all the pictures. *shrug* maybe you should have chose a more understanding fiance and better, more considerate bridesmaids. I would personally, call quits to everything....everyone…

Do you yell "Norm!!!!". If you do that is great :drinker:

The way some people behave you would think this is how they feel. I actually view it as part of my fitness program....I hate most cardio, so sex is needed to get my cardio and overall improve my fitness program. Still not sure how to log it though:grumble:

I love when you post. Excellent, now if people would just read it.

I am sorry but I take issue with ↑↑this↑↑. You seem to be implying my husband or I would be tempted, don't respect each other, and don't respect our marriage vows because we watch porn. I am sorry 17 years of marriage, and a happy one with an extremely healthy sex life would say you are wrong on your implications and…

I see nothing wrong with porn, I do find something wrong when one spouse would need to hide/deny it and the other upset over it being watched. As long as someone has a healthy sex life, and doesn't purely live in a fantasy world.....I do not see how it could be harmful.

From everything I have read or been told....10 reps is too high for working with heavy weight. 4-6 reps for 5 sets on compound and normally reps of 8 for 4-6 sets isolation. I may be 100% wrong especially on the isolation exercises, but most plans call for low reps, more sets when working with heavy weights. Like strong…

The bolded text above us disgusting, if you really feel that is how a MAN feels....something is very wrong. My husband has never once stated, implied or made me feel he is above me in anyway. If anything he found my value increased, because my staying at home relieved some of his work load and he knew his daughters were…

First thank goodness the OP has the respect for his wife not to treat her as a child. If my husband ever dreamed of speaking to me, or "disciplining" me in the ways suggested here......let's just say it wouldn't end well. I have been a stay at home mom for 14 yrs now. For the last 5, I also work from home doing web design…

Losing a half inch is great. As for the weight it is most likely fluctuations. Personally I fluctuate about 4lbs. so if my weight doesn't leave that range, I have no clue a loss or gain occurred. Yes muscles can hold water, eating sodium, hormones, food digestion and a million other things play a role in weight…

Same here, and I agree with all the rest. I have heard and in my case seems to be so....that you will lose it the opposite that you gained it. Example with me: butt, thighs. boobs, arms,face, stomach.....I am now losing it stomach, face, arms, boobs, thighs and butt

Sit put your feet up and read..... *Log EVERYTHING *Weigh Solids *Measure liquids *Exercise for fitness (weight lifting is my recommendation) *Be Honest with Yourself *Measure yourself, take silly pictures and then enjoy your progress. And............ *****MOST IMPORTANTLY****** READ THIS…

First Congrats on the wedding, enjoy you and your new spouses day! 2nd sugar is a carb.... these are the basics, when you get settled after the honeymoon....... *Log EVERYTHING *Weigh Solids *Measure liquids *Exercise for fitness (weight lifting is my recommendation) *Be Honest with Yourself *Measure yourself, take silly…

I would go TDEE, for a month and track your weight. This way if you gain (not fluctuations) you know your TDEEis a little lower, if you lose then TDEE is higher. The numbers are all estimate, so its a good time for you to learn where your numbers are. After that you can bump to the TDEE +250, go 75 per week or so. Remember…

I do not, I view it as part of living even if it isn't often.

I am normally one all for truth, honesty and being upfront. I also do not believe if my husband acknowledged something he didn't like I would take offense, also after 17 years I know what he likes........BUT....after THIS → WTH, this isn't honesty...this is someone being a *kitten*. First one of my biggest pet…

^^^This is what I do also. I also watch my weekly. Meaning some days I come in under and the I know if I come in slightly over the next, it causes no harm. I never come near maintenance though.

Your weight is at the high end of a healthy bmi, you may want to look into body recomposition to achieve the results you may be looking for. Heavy lifting can really shape your body, in success section there is a thread dedicated to women who lift. If still interested in just losing weight, there is this..... *Log…

Here are the basics, the guidelines for what is considered a healthy we it loss weight is at the end. Also the list about rapid loss in the beginning is very true, many lose a lot of water weight when starting a calorie restriction. The rates of loss mentioned are also averages, weight loss is not linear....so if you lose…

Without seeing your diary, this applies to everyone so....... *Log EVERYTHING *Weigh Solids *Measure liquids *Exercise for fitness (weight lifting is my recommendation) *Be Honest with Yourself *Measure yourself, take silly pictures and then enjoy your progress. And............ *****MOST IMPORTANTLY****** READ THIS…

OK, I am little miss. moderation and not a "no junk person".....,but REALLY!?!!? I tell my kids NO all the time, it is my job as their mom. Having to tell a child no because of financial concerns is different and heartbreaking. This mentality is what most were speaking of when blaming the parents.....it is the parents…

I had a crispy chicken sandwich with mayo from Wendy's this weekend, MFP told me it was a healthy choice and had great protein :smile: Look should parents do certain things...Yes.Are some parents just lazy....Yes. There is no way to enforce this that would work for the whole. There is also no one size fits all way to look…

This is great info and a great post. The sad fact though is that many parents do not give the tools that the child needs. Any parent can only do their best, but not arming your child with the proper life tools is putting them at a disadvantage. Yes I know just because a child is taught things, doesn't mean they will do…

A few mentioned children that were overweight by bmi but not in reality.....unless the child is an outlier then that child would be over weight. My oldest is 14 hit puberty at 11 and is 5'6' she has been the 97 percentile her whole life and active, she is not rail thin but she has never had an overweight bmi. She weighed…

OK, so I may get it for this but....... No, I do not believe in forced feeding or for a child to be made to finish what's on their plate (many weight issues happen from just this practice) BUT if a child is that PICKY, then the parent normally chose the easy route when that child was young. If a child is offered healthy…

I love this ↑ I tell my teenager, my job is not to be her friend, it is to be her Mom....she has plenty of friends but only one mom. She is open with me and at the same time knows I will have my opinion and it is only with her best interests at heart. As for eating what is in front of them, I am strict about trying…

In to read later.... I agree with this. Calling it abuse would overwhelm and already stressed system. I do think it should be monitored by doctors and if needed counseling should be available. If the parents has issues with food they would need help to be able to help their kids. I will admit it upsets me when I see an…
