I agree with this post. Look... I try to put myself in the place of a guy and then try to give the guy's perspective but in this case it's really hard for me because I'm trying to put myself in the place of an *kitten* who uses women. You ex sounds like the kind of guy who shows up in a grocery store parking lot with a gun…

R.J. Molinere from Swamp People motivates me

It's difficult to put myself in this guys place. I would not try anything like that to meet a woman and I suspect that is what he is trying to do is to "meet" you. ANY response you might give to a creep would likely only play into his hands. Ignoring him is perhaps the most wise response. I do my workouts at home. I tried…

Oh yeah.... Looking forward to it. Was happy to see Swamp People come back on last night too.... R.J. is the man that inspires me the most to lose some weight.

If the only thing between the weight measurements is the potty break and you GAIN weight, then I will speculate that you are losing an abundance of methane gas which might have been holding you up like a hot-air balloon on the first weigh in. When you lost the gas, gravity pulled you down regardless of how much ballast you…

I just saw him in Atlanta but for $50. I have enjoyed him a lot on TV. he show is not much different because if you are like me and are quite a bit away from the stage, you end up watching it mostly on a big overhead screen. Without that you could hardly see the dolls. He started off with a slide show about himself. Then…

When Ronald Reagan was nominated....

Check out user reviews on Amazon. It seems to be getting pretty good reviews from the users there. I hope they don't take that infomercial off the air... It's like watching .... well, never-mind. lol

Wow. What a thread. Things I've learned reading some of these comments: 1. Never ask a woman when she is due. It's none of my business anyway 2. Family members seem to be the most cruel. Be very careful of anything I say to my family. Instead, just be a quiet example. They already know they need to lose weight. They just…

I do my strength training on a Total Gym. I also use a subscription service to set up my training and then I log in the reps and weights that I completed on that website. Then they calculate my calories. I enter my strength training time on MFP in the manner that Pandorian indicated. MFP only asks for the length of the…

30+ years ago I worked 40 hour weekend shifts in a downtown hospital. They let me sleep at night and gave me a room in a part of the old hospital that was only used for storage. When I got called, I had to cross over to the main hospital through a tunnel. It was not easy sleeping in that old hospital section after watching…

Great!. I will contact another user who I believe lives in Hamburg, Germany. She and I have been talking quite a bit and she has been encouraging me to form a group. Maybe together we all can get something started.

Great post. I think I'll check out the book you mentioned as well as come back to review some of your other calculations. Plateaus are a huge discouragement.

I have been using a combination of cardio and weight training. Cardio is done on an elliptical machine. The results were okay but seemed to plateau for me. That is, I got my fitness to a certain level which was a lot better than where I started but then it leveled off as did any weight loss. It seemed that mostly what I…

I checked ours. It had a seal on it stating it was cleared by the North American Olive Oil Association. You can visit their web site at NAOOA.Org and probably learn all you'd ever want to know about olive oil. All I know is that she was Popeye's girlfriend.

I saw this on a different message thread yesterday.... Question: How do you make 5 pounds of fat look good? Answer: Put a nipple on it. This question appears often on MFP. What surprises me is all the comments about large stomachs. I thought that was a guy problem while the gals had more of a hip problem.

Just looking for a gauge really! Does your other half: Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? Guilty. I do not do an equal share. However, my wife sees the inside of the house as her domain and I see the outside as mine. I take care of the exterior as well as the mowing, etc. She's happy with the…

Several years ago when I was not trying to lose weight and not working out, I knew several people that I worked with who were dieting and exercising. I saw them get smaller and smaller. I didn't say anything because I was embarrassed about my own self. Nevertheless they did inspire me and now I too am exercising and…

I use a TotalGym. I bought it over 10 years ago. I bought an 11000 model on Ebay. It was a sports clinic model. I wanted to buy something I thought would stand up over time. It has done well but I have had to upgrade the stock wheel on the sled to a more sturdy type. I am adding free weights to the sled and I am pushing…

Hi Nanllyn. I am a TotalGym user. I've had one for over 10 years I think. Probably longer. Mine is an 11000 model I bought on Ebay. I took a look at the 1800. It appears to be their basic home use model. Mine was designed for sports clinics. I bought it because I thought it would possibly stand up to longer term use. My…

Starting slow and building up will train you to use the treadmill. However, if you are overweight, I'd suggest you consider using the ellipticals until you take some excess weight off. The elliptical will be lower impact on your knees and ankles and should reduce the risk of injury to those joints. I know of people who…

I was eating a hard boiled egg, then just the egg white, then egg beaters, then back to a whole hard boiled egg. But MFP said the cholestrol from the egg was peaking me out for the day. So now I have oatmeal to bump up the fiber which I am still a bit too low on each day. I don't miss the egg. My protein each day is…

The CDC says, "American society has become 'obesogenic,' characterized by environments that promote increased food intake, nonhealthful foods, and physical inactivity." Overweight people are twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes as people who are not overweight. Nearly 80 percent of patients with noninsulin-dependent…

Maybe you will find some ideas here for healthy snacks. I found his on Yahoo this morning. The second website points out some healthy lunch myths. http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/smart-choices/healthy-lunch-ideas-00412000067923/?xid=yshi-ckl-unhealthy-kids-food-110210…

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to try it.

I agree that it's better to drive past fast food but not because it's McDonald's, but because it's fast food. I think we all realize that fast food is not a good idea when we want to lose weight. My point is that McDonald's gets picked on because they are a successful corporation. I argue that some people have a hidden…
