Just when I'm ready to slack today, someone posts something like this and inspires. Thank you.

Okay here goes...if I have a night out with the girls and I'm drinking, I'll sometimes log the calories as "misc." so people don't judge how much I've had to drink. It's a rare thing to get that crazy, but it still looks bad logging like 7 shots.

Okay that's kinda fantastic to me lol. It's like setting your clock a few minutes forward and that wonder feeling when you realize you aren't late, but on time. :smile:

Two weeks isn't long at all. If you were eating bad before that, and then suddenly lowered your calories your body probably hasn't had time to adjust. (it's going into that starvation mode and actually trying to store the fatt), Once it realizes you aren't 'starving', you'll start to lose weight. That's completely off the…

In the end...this.

Okay seriously, what gym charges that?? Because everything you mentioned I get for $14.99/month. What else is included?

$14.99/'month at Gold's with all the classes, etc. My relative pays the $40 and I joined a few months later and got the family/friends rate. It's kinda unfair to her. She did get something like a month free because I joined, but her rate for the exact same services is still higher. My gym is cool, has a cardio movie…

Hero's Rush is May 4th Warrior's Dash is May 18th Color Run is Sept. 22, see you both there! :smile:

Completely agree.

I add everything. Even zero calorie items because it also helps me track what I'm eating. To me the point is about discipline. If I'm going to log that day, I'm going to do it all the way.

There was an article in the news about this just this week. Basically it has to do with it being zero calories yet your body has to burn calories just absorbing it. That was the bottomline of the article. I doubt it's high calories, but every bit counts. Besides it's good for your skin/body. :flowerforyou:

I'll be there with a bunch of friends too.

This. Sadly.

Generalization much? If we're playing that game, everyone I've seen who doesn't shave is white, and I've seen it a lot. Go figure. I did think it was strange to see a woman wearing stocking and her legs were so hairy it was sticking through them all over. Why wear stockings at all? I don't think it's attractive, but so are…

Very true! Same with high quality teas.

This is what I did. Slowly weaned myself off unnecessary calories. Went from regular cream to milk to skim milk to dry creamer (need a lot less) and now using no fat creamer. I don't feel deprived at all, or I wouldn't do it. I'll also still use regular with no guilt, if it's the only thing available. Just count the…

I talked two co-workers into joining MFP since they kept complaining about healthy eathing/weight. :drinker: For me...going the lazy route on this challenge...more water today. :wink:

Thanks for the tips, Anita Extreme Control Sports Bra looks tight/non-moving, which I like

I wear two sports bras because I don't find a regular bra comfortable to work out in. It may get uni-boobish (new word hah) sometimes, but I don't care as long as I get full non-moving support.

Feels insecure about her weight? We're all on a fitness site, so we all feel some way about our weight. Don't project though, she didn't say anything about feeling insecure, just getting healthy. You don't have to eat separately to eat different meals. He can have a burger and she can have a salad or whatever at the same…

It's not a divorce offense, but it is a counseling offense and/or serious talk offense. Her post, keeping in mind we are only getting her side of it, had relationship red flags all over it.

I know you're just venting, but yes, I'm about to judge... 1- You're husband sounds like an immature *kitten* in this instance. If he's frustrated fine, but to order you to the grocery store? And to try to sabotage your health plans by pestering you about the nachos? That is not being supportive or even base line…

It's worth it, because that's how little stuff and being undisciplined can start. It's starts with that and then goes to "oh I won't log this one bite..." then it goes to "oh I won't log this one small piece", and soon you're screwing up your logging. Trust me, been there, done that. You should log everything, even your…

Sorry, but women do too. I don't want my guy to be obese or walking around with a serious beer gut. It's not cute, and it's not attractive to me. Personal taste. He doesn't have to be Mr. Universe hitting the gym, but he's got to take some basic care of himself. Ala know when to put the fork down. :smile: It's like when…

I was thinking of switching to Depo for the convenience of once every 3/months. But my doc actually told me, with no prompting from me, that one of the major side effects is a lot of weight gain. So I never did it.

Live in Maryland, but work in Virginia. Joined last March and have lost 20 lbs. so far, so definite success can be found here! :smile:

"Yes I doped" confession by Lance Armstrong, or however he worded that.

Just when I was making an excuse not to exercise lol. Thanks. :-)

I *hate* when people talk to me at the gym! I always think 'if you have breath to talk you aren't working out hard enough'. Might not be true, but it's how I feel. I listen to my music too.
