  • Funny! Didn't you watch sitcoms in the 90's?? Guys really only want to be friends with girls they are physcially attracted to in some way. You want a guy friend who wasn't attracted to you when you first met, gay is the way. Sorry if this sounds sexist or jaded but it's really true. You are engaged to an obviously…
  • I wouldn't be surprised if that guy was on a site like this and was looking for a dedicated workout buddy to help him on his journey. That being said I agree with nahhan12, take your bf to the gym with you! I'm sorry he upset you but of all the places to have a creepy guy hit on you a gym is a) proof that you are dedicated…
  • My fav go to meal (and I'm glad your Canadian because I don't think they have Superstore in the states or elsewhere) is President's Choice Blue Menu Lean Italian Meat balls and raita dip (an indian style yogurt, cucumber and dill dip) and veggies. There are other things to dip into like hot sauce, honey mustard, tzatki,…
  • I am so there right now!! And craving carbs and sugar more than anything!! Trying to keep full with tea but it's not helping my plateau!!
  • Holy Crap that's amazing!! So very proud of you!!
  • I took no pictures while I was at my biggest (which is good and bad) but I've started now. I am doing so much cardio (elliptical, stationary bike, walking.....i live about 25 minutes away from my gym and I walk to and from) and classes like crazy ... zumba, aerobics, kickboxing, step .. anything I can do.
  • Do you have any reason to believe that what they will serve you will be bad for you? according to your ticker you have been together for a while, I'm sure his family will be supportive of your weight loss goal. My advice is if you are close to his family, talk to them, tell them what you are doing and give them the chance…
  • KiriKiriKiri I know what you mean. I lost over 2 feet off my body...how crazy is that?? half a foot of my hips?? I feel like a million bucks
  • My name is Nicole and I am an emotional eater. So sometimes it's hard to know when I am really hungry and when I am eating to compensate for something so I sort of know where you are coming from. I am now at the point where I can trust my hunger. I have stopped tracking food on this website because I am doing well and…
  • My tip is to try everything!!! I set a goal to try at least one new class a week at my gym and it's great for variety and I've found a couple new favourite classes because of it. What is the worst that can happen? Good luck, have fun and let us know how it goes.
  • Try making your food diary public so we can take a look at your recent entries (my home - settings - diary settings - click public)
  • I am on a smoothie kick recently, made with apple sauce or low fat yogurt (or the greek someone was mentioning earlier) or even cottage cheese. Frozen or fresh fruit (ususally a combination of the two) can be anything I have on hand - bananas, berries, whatever! This is a slightly larger snack and will hold you over…
  • Using all my 'What not to Wear' skills I would say: slightly above the knee since you are petite a wrap dress or empire waist can really compliment a small waist or curvy shape so can be a great idea. color is hard, black can be flattering but boring. pick something that compliments your skin tone, hair color and eye…
  • That is an excellent question, one that seems like it should have a simple answer. Back when I was fit, I loved sports and joined adult recreational leagues and it was great fun. Most major cities have some sort of organization in place that does this. My favs are slowpitch and beach volleyball. The best thing is there are…
  • I'm a quick clicker and double posted sorry ....I am seeking help and should have it under control within the next 6 months
  • If it's available in a gym or in your area I strongly suggest ZUMBA!!! You don't need to be coordinated, have a dance back ground or be in peak physical condition. All you need to do is HAVE FUN and it's so easy with a good instructor. I sweat like a mo-fo, burrn a bunch of calories, and laugh my @ss off. Try it out, even…
  • wow! I am on the fence between speechlessness and my own angry rant. I am a former cook, waitress and restarurant manager. I agree with the above post, I base tip 15% but that goes up based on service. This woman is a complete lunatic....I couldn't even get through the whole video but I started watching some of the reply…
  • Tell me about it! For me it's grocery shopping....not the actual shopping part, that's easy. It's the waiting in the checkout next to the chocolate bars that gets me, because I've shut off my brain and slip into my old bad habits. It's getting better...awareness was my first step. Good luck

  • I wish that was my car...I just batted my eyelashes at the owner during a carshow and he let me inside! Being a girl rocks sometimes!
  • This craving is your pre-mfp self reminding you where you came from. Stay strong, that voice gets quieter. Remember this is a life change not just a diet! You may slip up (I know I do) but I don't beat myself up, I just get to the gym and sweat it out...great guilt relief! Good luck! :ohwell:
  • I had a similar situation with butternut squash soup and cinnamon and I had to scrap it! Sorry no advice but I know how frustrating it is to spend hours on something and have a heavy hand ruin everything! Good luck!
  • If I can't find something I create it....cutting corners always leads to slipping with me so I try and be as precise as possible
  • got to love a kitchen scale! but it is so frustrating to measure something and then try to plug it into mfp and having to convert g to oz or oz to cups or cups to g......but I do my best
  • Breakfast "should" be eaten within the first 2 hours after waking. My trainer at the gym has me eating within 20 minutes of waking up. So in short, the sooner you can eat the better! Like it's been suggested above, you could skip the snooze and make a meal or if that is too much for you, try having the orange earlier…
  • Yup, first thing in the morning, before breakfast....nakedness always helps!
  • Sadly true! You can tone or build muscle with squats or the stairmaster but only hard cardio workouts will get you to lose anything!
  • I agree with this. In a Fitness and Nutrition class I took we were told the same thing. And it's delicious! Cottage cheese can work too, depending on the fat content.
  • It sounds to me like you are doing this for the right reasons; because you want to! Maybe I am being sentimental because the stupid Hallmark holiday Valentine's Day is right around the corner but I need to say - There is always going to be someone "hotter" or thinner, all you can do is be the best you that you can be! Ok,…
