Okay, it's not the sexiest thing in the world. It hooks straight up the front with small hook and eyelet clasps. It is NO JOKE. Nothing moves in…
  • I've had one for about two weeks - shortly before I signed on here. The Fitbit Ultra comes with a wriststrap (for monitoring your sleep cycles), a clip attachment (that I don't use) and free use of the website that integrates with MFP. I must enter my food diary here, and it shows up on FitBit.com. I also enter my exercise…
  • A) Not ugly! B) Awesome!
  • An Echo in The Bone, in your pants. Okay, that went somewhere really bad...
  • This^ Every Saturday morning the scale and I meet at the appointed time. Usually after I walk the dog, and have a shower. "Hello, scale," I say, daring it to tell me something rude in reply. The scale does not respond, preferring to silently reproach me by the LCD alone. I had approached it hopefully earlier in the week,…
  • There is a toilet seat in my guest bathroom with a broken hinge. I ain't sayin how it got broken, but I will say that at 0200 hours it's shockingly easy for the whole thing to abruptly go sideways and almost dump you on the floor. Usually what happens is you come into contact with cold porcelain and wake completely up. My…
  • I couldn't do the things I wanted to do anymore - ride my bike, go hiking, swimming - without getting out of breath and I hated it. So I got pissed and now I'm losing weight.
  • From one Hanna to another, a word of advice: Go to a pet food store and march straight to the dog food aisle. Pull out 60 pounds of bagged dog food. It doesn't matter if it's in 10 pound or 20 pound bags, or a combination. Line them up on the floor and take a good look. Would you like to pick them all up and carry them…
  • Sam, I'm IT hardware, and yes, there is a lot of sitting on your duff in this job. I've been here just about a week and am ramping up slowly to a proper activity level. Sending a friend invite your way. Edit: LOL - just realized you had a Trash-80 avatar! :D I was C64.
  • No... People are not just 'people', but individuals as well. I can say I know myself well enough to know where I'm hardwired, and cheating on an S.O. is one of them. Because of weight being the most shallow of reasons, but there are a million other more plausible reasons one might have, and it still would not happen. There…
  • I have this cute hand dyed swishy dress I bought the last time I was in Jamaica. I intend to wear it there again.
  • No. Not even when my marriage went to crap. My own internal honor meter would not tolerate such a thing. I may not have to live with him, but I have to live with myself.
  • No, it doesn't work for everyone. You may have to just try it to see how you do on it. My brother thrives on low-carb and drops weight like sheets at a Macy's white sale. I feel so sick, I can't make it past two weeks on low-carb Atkins. Hopefully, I don't cheese off too many people by adding that I once had PCOS. However,…
  • LOL, Okay, support can mean "Please do not actively try and sabotage my efforts with baked goods and psych warfare!" more than wanting a pat on the head.. My ex was fond of buying chocolate icecream, cake and cookies and making snide remarks. Finally he wanted to know if I was losing weight because I was planning on…
  • Dude, I think you misunderstand. I am willing to say that most people here don't need handholding. That's why we're here. However, nothing makes changing a bad habit harder than temptation and negative feedback. Getting positive feedback helps. My main reward is being able to fit into the next size smaller clothes, or…
  • Funny coincidence, that... my ex-husband said the same thing to me too. "Lose 10 more pounds..." I found out shortly afterward that his diet plan revolved around cocaine. I, too, could stay effortlessly skinny as long as I didn't mind sticking a teeny spoon up my nose. Whiskey tango fox. That's why he's the ex.
  • <img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l68pqzDxQd1qz9ywgo1_500.jpg"> Real men wear great coats and timetravel. I'll take two, please. :happy: (okay what am I doing wrong? How do I include an image?)
  • Depends what you like, or are willing to eat. I am an omnivore and have three favorite breakfasts that I cycle through: 1. Slice of toast w/serving of peanut butter Fresh fruit (banana, apple, pineapple, grapefruit, berries - whatever's handy) cup of skim milk 2. 2 eggs (or egg beaters) scrambled 2-3 slices bacon, well…

  • ?!! Awesome! I didn't know this, and yes, I'm totally stoked! Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow are my favorite sci-fi novels!
  • Making my one glass of wine I'm drinking with the Sunday roast laaaaast. ..And sitting in my jammies wishing tomorrow was not Monday.
  • I do rum with cherry Coke Zero with a half a lime squeezed in. It's just about my favorite drink. The second runner up is the diamond chocolate martini. But at ~400 cals, that's just going to have to be one of those guilty pleasures I indulge in from time to time.
  • I'm 5'7" and am aiming for 155. I'm a size 8 at that weight and I look healthy. below that on my frame, I look far too skinny. Moreover, I think it's a weight I can maintain without driving myself crazy.
  • The only way I can think of is to go to a doctor/nutritionist and have them test you. Doctors had the gear to test this long before they appeared on the home market. For the easy way, try out some other scales and see if they agree with the first one, or each other.
  • 1. The Sting 2. Brazil 3. The Princess Bride
  • I can respect people who can disagree without being asshats, demeaning or insulting. Which is why I never have political arguments. No one else seems to know how. I respect people who do the right thing, not because they are pushed into it, or because anyone is watching, but because it's the right thing. I hate when people…
  • Adding a bunch of y'all - I have a similar goal.
  • Sure - use a scale that measures the percentage of body fat from your total weight. I have one and while I don't like what it says in the numbers, what it's crying out to me is "You have to work out, or when you lose weight you'll lose lean muscle along with the fat!" It's an annoying comment from a scale, but I believe…
  • True - but divorced at 11. Loves sci-fi
  • That is probably the hardest thing. I did go through that once, and I wound up keeping my successes to myself because in the end, it's going to be obvious when the healthier version of you emerges. I'd rather say nothing than get the snide remarks or any comment that could de-rail me. Even when friends knew I was…
  • This! I make an awesome fat-free cornbread with half the sugar. It came from a regular recipe I tinkered with. The problem with tinkering though is learning to throw out your mistakes and share your successes so you don't gain weight from them.
