I found what appeared to be a 'fossilized' fin in a can of tuna. Yep, that turned me off tuna for a long while....I still haven't recovered :noway: :sick:

Yes! I say "Please", "Thank you", "Have a nice day", and all of the other nice things mom taught me, but then I get a rude response. It hurts my feelings :frown: :sad: lol

Customer Service...I forgot that one. I feel like I am a very nice person; probably too nice. When I patronize an establishment, it'd be nice to have the person on the other side of the phone/counter/etc to be just as nice. I understand that we're all human, and have our bad days...but if I'm friendly, why can't they be as…

1.) Horror Movies- esp. Zombie flicks (Yes, I am a fan of 'The Walking Dead'). Horror movies have been a lifelong addiction for me, and I will go on and on about my love for-- yep, did it again smh 2.) I'm a newbie in an organization, so I tend to talk about it a lot (forgive me, this too shall pass)... 3.) Psychology.…

Well,you're still making great progress! If you're looking for a more significant change, you might not be getting enough calories. When I first began working out, I lost little to nothing for a while. I was doing it allllll wrong. I'm not sure if this is correct, but it was explained to me that your NET calories should be…

Snakes- they're deplorable. I can't watch them on tv, can look at a picture of them... I hate them. I just absolutely hate them. FYI- Never try to 'overcome' your fear of snakes by watching 'Snakes on a Plane'...... doesn't end well

Because she seems happily married and I'm not even dating anyone :tongue:

soft touch

Hunger Games reference *chuckle*

How do I handle them? Like a BOSS...Ok, horrible pun...sorry :blushing: If you don't want it, politely decline. People don't treat healthy lifestyle choices like the plague anymore (some people at least), so I'm sure they'll understand. For future gatherings, I would suggest just asking if they can order some healthier…

Thanks for sharing this! My best friend/roomie LOVES tacos and now I can cook something he loves while still being healthy!

Putting a scale on carpet (flat surface or not) will definitely change the results! Don't be so hard on yourself :smile:

Florida! <3 the Gulf Coast :-)

I love Hummus.... I don't know how to make my own, unfortunately :-( BUT I like to buy pitas, slice them in triangles (or long strips, whatever you prefer), and drizzle a little olive oil on them. Pop them in the oven at 325 F for a few mins (depending on your desired "crunchiness") and they are great for dipping! Sabra is…

idk your range but I'm 24 :-)

I don't see an issue- although I honestly may be a bit apprehensive at first. Not because the person has been divorced, but because this person has experienced something (love and loss) on a level that I can't even imagine (nor do I want to). True, the vows say 'til death'...but honestly, not many people go into a…

Like others have said already, I feel it helps with the cramps. I do feel, however, that my workouts are less intense. For this reason I try to make sure that I am drinking a lot of water and getting a good amount of protein.

I agree. It can't hurt to suggest a few more options. At my office, our catered lunches always include salad and fruit for the people who choose not to eat the other options. These options work as well!

What about drinking vodka until it tastes like water? Have I drank too much?

Days after I posted this 'rant', the scale started moving in the opposite direction. Yay for the small victories! Thank you everyone!

I agree, that's a great way to put that. This site has taught me to appreciate the "small victories" in my weight loss journey.

This group is growing fast! Hi and Good luck everyone!

That's a great idea about the 2/3 time, I'll start doing that and see if anything changes!

I've heard about that. That is probably something I should consider. Thank you

Thank you! I'm definitely working on what works for me. I've broken my weight loss into 25 lb increments. I feel like this will work better for me because if I keep 'mini goals' along the way, I'll feel more motivated! I am DEFINITELY the type to feel overwhelmed if I take on too much at once!

Thanks for the input. I actually have more than 25 lbs to lose, but I broke my goals into 25 lbs increments so that I won't feel overwhelmed. I'm looking to lose the (healthy) max of 2 lbs a week. I think that I might actually be over estimating my exercise calories. So many machines/calculators give me so many different…

Hi, I'm Jovan and I'm a 24 y/o student from Florida. I was always pretty active up until I graduated from high school. I wanted a 'break' from everything when I first started college at 18, but that break turned into gaining the Freshman 15,20,25,etc. With my mom being a former model, I always had an issue with my body. My…

HI and welcome back! Me: 24 y/o student, desk job, searching for more motivation :-) I would be happy to have you and anyone else as friend! Good luck everyone!

The bar code scan, (I have an android phone), is definitely a plus on the app! I love it! It saves so much time and 'counting' doesn't seem as tedious :-)
