THANK YOU!!!! i thought i was the only one irked by this saying. lol. a pound is a pound is a pound is a pound!! a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of bricks!! :grumble: and i like your "fat is greedy...." saying. :wink:

my "check in" is every monday morning, and yes, i log it every time, whether it's a gain or a loss. helps me take responsibility and own up to a few bites i shouldn't have had the prior week. :tongue:

burgers, cake, ice cream!

every calorie counts, so why not log it?

wow!! beautiful inspiration! :)

i collect magnets of places either i or family/friends have been to.

LOL @ throwing eggs and bricks! believe me, i would LOVE to! LOL! one of my brothers actually talked to them not too long ago, but it obviously hasn't worked. i contacted the police department about the noise ordinance, and all they say is for us to keep calling and calling. the more we call, the more the complaints will…

LOL! nice one!

thanks, i'll call the police department and ask.

you can always find another S/O that digs tattoos. lol. i have 7 tattoos - all of which i had when i met my insignificant other 6 years ago. he didn't mind them then, but every time we have a completely unrelated argument, he brings them up and says they make me look like a dude. LMFAO! i don't have skulls, guns, drugs, or…

you could also try adding friends here on MFP. the bigger your support group, the bigger your chances are at succeeding....whether it be losing weight, quitting smoking..... build a support group. you can add me if you'd like! :)

baby steps! i ate junk food all the time too, but i soon began packing my lunches for work instead of running out to grab a burger. i also gave up soda for lent...and guess what? it was easier than i thought. i'm still soda-free. :) if you're not ready to give up junk food, at least start by logging it into your diary. the…

on your mark...get set...GO!! why should your boss be the only one that gets to enjoy friday? :wink:

an MFP friend once posted, "weight loss is not a race". so i remind myself of that every week i don't shed as many pounds as i had hoped. after all, slow and steady wins the race! :happy:

go for a quick power walk during your lunch break. take the stairs if you're building has more than one floor. make your workout a family workout. i only have one child (he'll be 4 next month), but i can still relate. i used to think, i don't have time to work out, i don't have the energy when i get home from work. but…

I don't do the gym either because i can't afford it. :tongue: I do have an elliptical at home though, that I use quite a lot. I also have a couple of tae bo DVD's, free hand weights (10 lbs each), Wii Cardio Boxing, and NetFlix for when I want to try other stuff. I also go for walks at a nearby trail. All this, plus a…

once a week

Thank you!! I see this all the time, and I'm like, a pound is a pound is a pound is a pound! A POUND of feathers weighs the same as a POUND of fat, as a POUND of muscle, a POUND of bricks! :tongue: http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/busting-the-muscle-weighs-more-than-fat-myth.aspx

complicated doesn't even begin to describe it. so to make it easy on everyone, i'm single! LOL

exactly! :smile:

you shouldn't think of weight loss as a race. you didn't pack on the pounds overnight, so it's not going to come off overnight. slow and steady! also, i don't know if losing weight just for the challenge at your work is a good idea. i mean, don't get me wrong - it's a great motivator, but what if you do win next month?…

could be due to numerous factors.....water retention, that time of the month, like others have mentioned. weight fluctuates daily so if you just weighed yourself on wednesday, wait at least a week before stepping on the scale again. or maybe your scale is broken. :tongue: and i never understood why people say a pound of…

i only count water as water consumption. coffee, teas, or other flavored water are scanned in my diary - but then again, i only drink water - occasionally i'll have some OJ or coffee - again, which gets scanned. ;)

all, feel free to add me! i'm on here daily! ;)

congrats on your 3 years of sobriety!! :)

awesome! congrats on your achievements!!! :)

i'm so glad you posted this topic and i'm glad others have replied to your question. i have a 3-year-old who will be 4 in june. i have cousins with kids close to his age, but we hardly ever get together for play dates. when we do though, i see how happy and excited my son is to play with them. at the park as well, he's…
