@JustAmy I think you look like Katy Perry in your other pic :)

Bump...to come add my two cents later :)

I hope I look this good when I'm in my 40s!! Keep it up girl, you look fantastic!! :)

@Ohmy I love your profile pic!! Cowgirl all the way!

I used to do the exact same thing, when I was at my thinnest. I was advised by some very smart people that it was the start of an eating disorder, and to knock that crap off. I know, I just wanted the taste, and not the calories. But now that I look back, it was the start of something very unhealthy. I guess that's the…

I'm a huge fan of garage sales for this very issue!! But whatever you do, don't do what I did! I was a size 24, and by the time I was on a roll losing, I was a size 16, and so excited about being there, I borrowed my mom's credit card and charged $500 in new clothes in size 16!! Low and behold...two weeks later, they were…

So very true!

Bahaha...Truth. I actually don't do anything without running it by my trainer first anyway. I'll chat with him. IMO he's better than Bob anyway ;) Thanks @BenSpellman

Lancaster County here!! Add me for motivation! :happy: Contemplating organizing runs for our areas now here from MFP...

Thank you all for the valuable input. Seems like we are generally in agreement that it's ok for me to go over on my protein, and now I know I can change it as well. Thank you!! :bigsmile:

I drink at least 160 oz of water a day :) Typically, all that I drink. Thanks for the info though, I had no idea! :happy:

I've never heard that! So half your weight, in grams? Hmmm...I think that sounds right for me!

Thanks for having my back on that one girl! :heart:

@Marvin, a cop

Wow, I guess it's decided then, thank you both :)

Gotcha. Well, unfortunately the science of my body doesn't allow me to eat back my exercise calories and not gain weight. It's unfortunate but true! The only time I increase my calorie intake after a hard workout is if my trainer tells me to. He will tell me, 14-1500 tonight, Val. Which usually means a protein shake after…

Thank you! I didn't dont have either of those issues, and I'm ok with going over what MFP says for protein, but it was haunting me, if eating too much protein is wrong. Thank you so much! :happy:

I have input that I exercise into my settings, and I log it each day. 1,210 is my MFP goal.

I think it's a stereotype like any other. To generalize an entire group of people based upon one attribute has ALWAYS seemed silly and pointless, and shows only that person's ignorance, imo. After saying that, I might add, I have weighed 297 lbs, and got down to 164 lbs. Now I'm somewhere in the middle again. And to be…

You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you!! Don't you?

^^This!

Mark Vincent aka Vin Diesel, :love: ever since Fast and the Furious and "Chronicles of Rid****" And then I backwards trotted into his earlier works, because I love him so much. What's not to love about him?! Sexxxxy! And my female celebrity is Angelina Jolie. The reason being? TOMB RAIDER!! She's so bada$$! And I love all…

Neversettle ~ thank you so much!! :happy:

skeels -- cupcakes because it shows off your killer smile :happy:

Can only see this one, so that's it :)

Is it weird I'm creeped out by this being said by a 28 year old, 260 lb man? Just wondering...

Your phone is purple :)
