When the 'mega lifters' drop their weights so hard the room shakes. The ladies locker room is just under the weight room and seriously, it sounds like we're London being blitzkrieged by German planes thru the ceiling. I get it, you're super strong, you can lift SO much. Ughhh...

Everyone feels 'new' at one time or another! Add me if you like. =) All will be well, doll!

I stuck with a man FAR too long who was younger and 'hotter' than me. Everntually he got around to criticizing my weight for our lack of intimacy - not his status of unemployment, lack of education, low testosterone, or juvenile behavior. And I took it. Until I couldn't anymore. What a POOR partner for me. Now I'm with a…

I'm thinking you might be a REAL rower - were you on a skullery team? There is a huge lake near us where we use the walking trail - on weekends the rowing clubs are out there in full regata and you can hear the races. I love the machine in the gym - can't believe how it feels to use your entire body to accomplish a pull.…

They get the music pumping and you're all pedaling your little brains out. Will be super fun! Advice: If you've signed up for an HOUR class and it's your first time, take it easy on piling on the weight (be conservative) because you'll have She-Ra thighs the next day and they will HURT! Don't get too carried away and put…

Between 11am and 5pm, I've conditioned myself to get up EVERY HOUR from my desk and fill my glass, which is a 24 oz. I'm a classical singer on the side, so I've always been used to lots of water. On the average day, consume usually about 120 oz.

Mash 1 cup black beans with a fork, not TOO mushy. Mix with hands into 1/2 lb. ground turkey. You can also add diced onion, garlic, hot sauce... Then grill as burger patties on the Foreman grill. Mmmm!! Delicious, full of fiber AND lower in fat.

In your new pics, you remind me ALOT of Julie Benz, actress from 'Dexter'. Way to go!

Some people also just engage in word vomit. They don't realize they are sabotaging you, or they miss you as their 'pizza friend.' Straight out ask her the next time she says it - she might even think she's doing you a favor by giving you an 'out.' Most people look shocked at being called out - she might get the message and…

I have a girlfriend also trying to lose weight so we decided to STOP eating together. Meaning, do something ELSE. Our favorite thing now is to rent a $5 paddle boat at nearby lake for legs workout. If you're broke, get your friends together at a local park or river hiking trail and spend the day together doing something…

Why not trying adding a little flavor/fat to your meals? Some drizzled olive oil, dressing, or delicious sprinkled cheese will add flavor without the bulk. Especially for men, you can up your dairy to fuller fat - skim to 2%, for example, and still get great results. Be well!

Maybe find a lighter version of something HE really loved to eat. Then eating it is more like a TOAST TO HIM while you think of him than eating to try to forget. Sorry you are hurting.

Big 'ole legs - like treetrunk massive. Ex-footballers have them all the time. A plump tush is nice too.

It's like Dear Abby suggests you reply when someone asks a rude question. 'Why do you ask?' Maybe they don't realize they're pushing food. Try saying 'Why do you think I SHOULD eat that?' Could be a lightbulb moment for them in realizing what exactly they are doing.

I'm actually in maintenance on my food plan for 2 more weeks before I start another round of trying intently to lose, so I'm a little surprised I continue to drop weight, but of course, I will not quibble! Had great moments this week in new clothes and people really noticing my hard work. Some days were mentally a little…

I was even traveling this weekend - but I was hauling my cookies all over Santa Barbara helping with a wedding, so maybe that helped. Got out to the beach and walked 2 miles down the boardwalk, then the 2 miles back in the surf. I've never lost weight on vacation! Whooooo!! Joy start weight: 223.2 7/6 - 220.8 7/13 - 219.4…

When he eats it, leave. I mean leave the house. I mean walk out. I mean hand him the baby, get in your car and leave. Of course you can try to exercise more self control, HOWEVER, that's a selfish man who won't do that for you. Keep his junk in the garage where junk belongs. If you just left the house every time he did it,…

I do one regular egg and three egg whites. First saute 2-3 cups of spinach until it reduces, then add about 10 chopped basil leaves. Set aside. Pour eggs into pan, set about halfway. Add spinach filling down middle and wrap like omlet. Add some hot sauce and ohmahgoodness, it is great!

I'd lost 26 lbs in 10 months here at MFP but was at a major plateau and wanted to shake things up for the summer. A good trusted friend who is a nurse tried HCG thru clinic monitored program and lost 28 lbs in 40 days. So I'm giving it a shot. I'm at 13 days and have lost 12 lbs. Some days I am hungry, its just true. But…

Just a note, if you like Arby's - Lion's Choice restaurants have the LEANEST sandwich beef out there. I go thru and buy 3 oz occasionally and put it on my salad with some chipotle dressing - just like a great steak salad at a good Mex restaurant. Decadence without the guilt! Next time he comes in with the FF bag, say…
