^^ I'd listen to this guy ^^

:laugh:

Even better is the Vitalicious mini fudge chocolate vitacake. 50 calories per serving!!

YES

...and definitely that chic!!

ALL of the above and much, much worse to a relative I had the displeasure of seeing after 20+ years. Another 20+ years would be waaaay too soon.

IIFYM

The same thing happened to me on Thanksgiving, only it came from a relative: A (least favorite) relative I haven't seen in over 20 years asked if I was pregnant. To add insult to injury, she hands me a plate of salad and says, "Eat this, it won't make you fat. I'm proof of it, I eat it everyday." The statement itself,…

I have been implementing the "one day at a time" view on life and health for the past month and am seeing much less stress in my life!! It is much easier to focus on conquering TODAY now, and worry about TOMORROW later.

I will be turning 40 in about 14 months. I don't have any lofty weight loss goals (only about 15 lbs to go) but I would like to hit the heavy weights again and be lean and sexy by 40!

An iPad Mini screen protector... I need to move a little closer to the kitchen, where all the sharp things are...

^^This^^ MINUS the hollandaise sauce and wild rice pilaf.

I tried, and tried, and tried, and tried, to no avail. I was starting to wonder if he was going to attend college in diapers :laugh: He has no siblings, which made it even harder, because there was no one around to "mimic", as most children like to do. In order to get him around other children, we put him in a Montessori…

I walk 6-10 miles per day. I eat 1800-2100 calories. My diary is open to friends and I log in everyday. Feel free to add!

Strap on a heart rate monitor, do the exercises, and find out what YOU burn. It really doesn't matter what anybody else burns.

I'd like to have your "problem" of losing 1.5lbs/wk

Great story, thank you for sharing! While you may not think you are an inspiration, I bet anyone who knows you (whether in RL or on MFP, or anywhere else) would beg to differ. It's stories like yours that inspires friends and total strangers alike to make the necessary changes in their own lives to conquer any challenges…

A hand-me-down-every-panel-was-dented red Renault Alliance. Every single paycheck I earned went toward fixing that piece of crap :grumble: and it only seemed to need repairs on paydays :huh:

Feel free to add. I log in everyday and am supportive :flowerforyou:

Forgot to post yesterday, but I did 2 hours. I just did 3 hours today, so that is 11 hours WTD; 3 to go. If I pound it out tomorrow, I will definitely take the weekend off!

I am DETERMINED to complete at least ONE of the Monday Challenges (even if it kills me). 2 hours of walking today. 6 hours WTD, 8 hours to go...

I guess I will be the first to say, I absolutely hate it!! Just a few days ago, it told me I burned 4244 calories in the 7 hours I spent ASLEEP, from midnight to 7AM. Yesterday, I walked 11 miles, took over 26,000 steps and burned just over 1,000 calories. According to my BodyMedia, my TDEE for the day was 2536. According…

It's only Monday and I'm almost a third of the way there :laugh: I just finished an 11 mile walk in about 4 hours, so I guess that leaves me with 10 more hours of activity to go. Ahhh...just when I thought I was done for the week :noway:

I honestly don't know what the answer is and can only speak from personal experience. When I started MFP back in Feb of this year, I focused on cleaning up my diet. I went to the gym regularly and even started weight lifting shortly thereafter. I am 5'3" and my SW was 148. I have lost 19 pounds and have about 10 "vanity"…

I am still struggling to lose my baby weight, and the "baby" is almost 5! :laugh: :sad: Feel free to add for support!

Best kept secret I am going to share: Asian Markets They typically sell fresh fruit and veggies for a FRACTION of what it would cost at a regular grocery store. Their meats tend to be cheaper as well. If it didn't cost me so much money in gas just to get to one, I'd do all my grocery shopping at Asian markets! :grumble:

I am 5'3", so 4.0 is a fast walk for me, and anything over that would definitely be a jog or run!

I think I was a little over-zealous with my goal of 900 total, as I only managed 600 :grumble: 200 Shoulder presses with (2) 10 lb db's 200 Lateral raises with (2) 10 lb db's 200 Shoulder front raises with (2) 10 lb db's
