Agreed! Maybe stop weighing yourself so often. I try to only weigh myself once a week. It causes mind games sometimes.

Ugh! I can't stand when people say 'at the end of the day.' That has to be the one that irks me the most! Musicians are the main culprits of this overused saying. 'At the end of the day, we just want to make good music,' or something to that effect.

I like drank the Kool Aid :)

Haha! I always say, 'God love her, but....' Usually referring to my mom or mom-in-law. Guess it does sound condescending.

Oh! I accidentally said, 'did a 360' instead of '180' to my son's teacher once. I felt like such a ding dong. Sometimes I hear things said incorrectly so often, I get confused myself :)

When people say 'unthaw' or 'dethaw' instead of saying 'thaw'. It's used widely where I live. I know it's not a saying, but I'm sure it drives grammar freaks crazy.

Yay! Positive! I think so, anyway :)

Naps always make everything better for me :) I may not be handling it by being active, but at least I'm not giving into my desire to consume mass quantities of food.

I think you may be eating your exercise calories back. It would take hours of intense exercise to burn off over 1000 calories every day. The MFP estimates for cardio are extremely high. What MFP claims burns 1000 calories, may in fact only burn 300 (just an example.)

Well said :)

Yeah. I suspect you are overestimating how many calories you are burning through exercise. If you are using MFP data for exercise, it tends to be too generous.

I think most people understand it. They are just creating a bigger deficit for a faster weight loss. Personally, I eat back almost all of my calories and still lose close to 3 pounds a week. This has always been standard for me as I have had to lose weight several times due to pregnancies, injuries and, frankly, just being…

Yes! I am the same way. Unless I truly want someone's advice, I don't talk about it. Your mom is probably just concerned, though. It's her job to be worried and suspicious.

Yes, I agree. A lot of the mfp estimates on exercise are way too high. I just don't see how it would ever be possible for me to ever burn 800 calories in an hour.

Wow! I can't believe how many people don't eat the calories back. Good for you if you're not hungry :) I eat almost all of them back, though I do underestimate my calorie burn when logging exercise. I keep my goal on MFP to lose only a 1/2 pound a week, and following that still has me losing closer to 3 pounds weekly. This…

I think she's saying that kids don't even deserve to live, let alone talk on a phone ;)

I wouldn't ***** a kid out. I'll go even further and say I also wouldn't care if someone *****ed my own kid out for having an iPhone.

Even though there are very few people in my neighborhood who have any room to talk when it comes to weight, I still run with my music turned up too loud to hear anything. It is also a good way to avoid small talk with neighbors who can't see that I'm in survival mode :) Unfortunately, It's also a good way to get caught off…

"No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch." I have to remind myself of this, as I just picked up running again a few months ago. Nice post :)

It is amazing how one comment can turn your whole perception of yourself around; particularly when you are a child. Something that a random kid said affected you so deeply, and that classmate probably doesn't have a clue. I can certainly identify with this! Sad that we can give people that kind of power over us.

I don't think an error here and there during casual chit-chat (on this message board, for example) is a big deal. It is quite easy to tell the difference between a person who accidentally misspells something and someone who is a chronic offender; just never bothered learning to spell. How has anyone gone through life…

My husband's boss says, 'are we all in agreeance?'

Don't get me started on my mother. God love her, but one day she would be concerned about how I was eating too much; the next concerned that I was too thin and wasn't eating enough. I have been every size from a 2 to a 12, and I'm fully aware of what got me to whatever size I happen to be at the time. No need to let me…

Ha! Me too! I'm beginning to think the non-inked are the minority. Even my mother has tattoos.

When I was young, I drank the equivalent of 4-5 cans of diet coke a day, maybe only a couple glasses of water. I couldn't figure out why my sides ached all the time. My mom pointed out that I was probably dehydrated and my kidneys were rebelling. I tend to think she was right, as I cut back significantly and no more side…

I tend to think it doesn't count. From personal experience anyway. I have never enjoyed an iced tea or coffee and felt hydrated afterwards.

I get it. I think Liv is beautiful, though.
