Damn fine job, you look great!

I did a couple of searches and couldn't find any exercises related to driving a car, but I would have to assume that unless you power your car like Fred Flintstone your calorie burn when driving is pretty similar to your average burn while just being awake. But I suppose you could attach resistance bands to your shift…

Horseages... a healthy addition to any breakfast! Just try and stay away from High Fructose Horse Syrup and you'll be fine.

As long as you don't stop drinking, you don't have to log it at all. PROBLEM SOLVED :drinker:

Well, my night is now complete. Thank you! Haha

In my experience (US) only the ingredients in the product are counted in the nutrition facts, but this may be different for your particular country/supplement.

Looking great, keep it up!

Hot!

Just a quick followup to echo the PLANNING element. On days when I'm feeling tempted, less choices and predetermined/prepped food for the day make it SO much easier.

Some of these already covered but this works for me: 1) Read labels and log everything. Is the 400 calories of Doritos and Soda really worth so much of my daily caloric goal? Or will I feel better and more full with a big piece of roasted chicken with a favorite vegetable? 2) Don't buy it. I had trouble with eating too…

Yes! It took a couple years though, haha :smile: Here's a bit of my story http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/StarkLark/view/how-did-you-stay-motivated-to-lose-all-that-weight-285296 and here's a pic!

Atticus Finch!

So glad I came across this thread. I saw a post a few months back about your upcoming surgery and I've been eagerly waiting for a followup. You look great! I've known for a while that my own goals are going to require skin surgery. Your blog and photos are an enlightening and amazing resource to me. :happy: Thanks for your…

WOW, well done! :drinker:

True. If the opportunity presented itself, I would sleep with almost all of my female friends. However, I'm actively trying to sleep with none of them.

I agree, the most annoying part about not drinking at the bar is... not being drunk :drinker: :wink:

It's cool man, the guy in the cube next to me is a lifeguard. Bottoms up!

Measuring or preferably weighing almost everything I eat.

Yes! I never knew that (learn something every day around here). I always wear wicking type shirts to work out. I also just had a friend on here recommend a brand she uses and loves: http://www.amazon.com/Sport-Suds-Zipper-Pouch-Loads/dp/B008D2AW14/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1350581807&sr=8-6&keywords=sport+wash Thanks Jess and…

I'll give that a try. What's weird for me (and this only happens with older shirts) is that they will come out of the dryer smelling nice and fabric softener-y, but the second I get sweat on them, they go from zero to stank in a second. Even if I smell fine. It's like the sweat is just hiding in there after a wash waiting…

Seriously! Is there some industrial strength detergent out there for this or do I just have to buy new shirts every month?

Nothing specific to add... just wanted to say great job to everyone for the amazing responses. Many of us have felt like the OP and the love shown in this thread is part of the reason why MFP is a wonderful place. Heather, take this stuff to heart, you are in control and you can make the changes you need to. Don't give up!

Teachers called me "the mayor" for my ability to move seamlessly between groups and talk with everyone in my class. I had my crew of friends but would end up hanging out with most people at one point or another during a school year. Party at my house this weekend! /small school, class only had around 100 kids in it. //and…

I say go, but it sounds like we had different high school experiences... I was responsible for organizing my ten year reunion two years ago and it was fun. We had it in a local bar and the turnout as pretty good (50 people out of a 100 or so in my graduating class). Very informal event with a band in the back room etc.…

Yeah, this about sums it up for me. Drink rarely, even though I'd love to every weekend :drinker: . When I do drink I save calories by just going straight up then slowly drinking a water so I have something to hold and cheers with.

That is awesome, what a great feeling!

This is exactly what I was going to say. When I travel one of my first stops is the grocery store. Buy a modified version of what you already eat, stock up your cooler, and you're good to go. Eat well, save money, win!

Yes and yes. I like all sorts of shapes and sizes :wink:

Congrats on your amazing loss! Plenty of loose skin here, and more on the way. Strength training and eventual surgery are the options I'm going with. I'll take an entire body of loose and sagging skin over my old body 100% of the time. I've never seen the "television quick fix" skin surgery option, but after seeing my own…
