And a thumbs up to all the awesome guys that are supporting each other on MFP as well! All you ladies and gentlemen are awesome! :bigsmile:

Calories are a measure of energy. Even pure water contains energy. Tap water contains even more in the form of impurities. Are they negligible for the purpose of watching our weight? I should think so.

The only appropriate answer I could post in the forums is that the actual answer has so many factors and considerations that it would not possibly fit into a forum post. The reason for that is something you have previously addressed but chose to dismiss as arbitrary: Everyone is different.

Skip the portion plates. Get an ounce/gram scale that weights up to a pound or more, a Pyrex measuring cup that measures two cups, and a set of Goodgrip measuring cups in 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup increments. Use them. This combination will help you in far greater portion control than portion plates.

You don't look chunky at all. You look healthy and strong.

Hell, I hardly even shave my face! :drinker:

Plan on losing it the same way you gained it...one day at a time. Each meal and each portion is a choice and a decision. Don't starve yourself. Eat healthy foods. Drink water and exercise.

I would recommend very politely discussing it with your neighbor before taking any other action. Going to the city or filing a complaint of any kind before giving them an opportunity to take action first is almost certainly not going to go well. Just my two cents.

I'm not a vegan ( I did try it for six weeks, felt great, lost weight) but I still visit vegan restaurants from time to time just because I still try to get a lot of veggies into my diet and I have no qualms in making some meals entirely out of veggies. If you are ever in the mindset that you just need to sit down in some…

She most definitely needs to make her own decision. Personally, I hope she decides to dump the *kitten*. :bigsmile:

It helps to relieve stress on the lower back when doing situps, crunches, et cetera. You can also train a poodle to balance on it and rent him out to neighborhood kids' parties.

He was a freakin' stumblin' drunk. How much credence do you give his critique?! Walk up behind him and kick his knees out from under him and then say "Wow! You were right! You DO need to stay away from me!"

Cruel people are such a nuisance. Every time a new one exposes their *kitten* to me, I end up having to extract my shoe from it.

It kind of defeats the purpose of them being a model. "A three-dimensional representation of a person or thing or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original." If the model proportions are consistently and purposefully different than the people for which the clothing is fashioned then they have…

I'll say this...I used to think MFP and Fitbit overestimated my calories almost every day. Despite that, I stuck with the reading it gave me. Here I am...60 pounds lighter. Hang in there.

I have learned that creepy is in the eye of the beholder.

And don't forget your towel.

Watch your fruit intake as fruit contains a lot of natural sugar and you definitely want to limit your sugar intake. Try eating regular oatmeal and add cinnamon (not cinnamon sugar, just cinnamon) as the cinnamon can help regulate your blood glucose and the oatmeal can help reduce your cholesterol and help do a bit of…

Marinate it in Wishbone light Italian dressing and steam some broccoli with it. Serve it with garlic toast.

you're right. If Sandusky was smart enough to have a ranch with candy-filled cabins and a pet monkey to lure the kids, he would have never been caught.

How men and women perceive respect is definitely two different things.

Regular soda should not be a "supplement" of any kind unless a diabetic is amazingly low on their sucrose level and needs an infusion in their bloodstream fast.

Well, there sure was a hell of a lot of CIRCUMSTANTIAL. EVIDENCE. And, if you recall, they never DID find out what happened to his other glove! All very suspicious if you ask me.

OP: Awesome pics and awesome food plan! Thanks for posting it!

The only difference was Sandusky wasn't a pop idol. How is Michael Jackson a better person than Sandusky?

C'mon! Tell us how you REALLY feel!
