  • Ha! I'm hardly looking for a relationship, and if I were it surely wouldn't be with boys whose profile contains some short comments and then "want to know more just ask" I'm performing a social experiment of sorts and wondered if it's some shorthand kind of understood to mean DTF or something. You know how like you *know*…
  • oh those arms... nicceeee great work!

  • I was fine with NSA, he's the one who made a big deal about wanting to be friends. Blah blah he "likes talking to me". I don't think that's how friends should treat each other but it sounds like that kind of behavior is actually pretty common. I wouldn't care at all if it was strictly NSA, but once you are gonna act like…
  • oh yeah I am definitely seeing him. A lot of him. But as I said it's like a known temporary thing where both of us know at some point it will end and not in the way we move in together or get married or anything. I just assume at some point he'll find a girl he actually does want to move forward with and then the "seeing"…
  • lol thanks that actually helps. I think he's just flaky and he's only my fake boyfriend anyway, it's not like there is a future for us other than that I expect us to be friends long term. I guess it's not so weird for me to tolerate his flakiness, it's not like I intend to marry the guy. /shudder
  • lol his FB page has him in a relationship with another girl. Long story. I don't even care if he *is* in a relationship with said other girl, I just don't understand what's the big deal about people giving reasons when they should know their behavior was not thoughtful. I guess I should have asked the question as if it…
  • It's been so crazy with the storm I think I flat out lost a day. Thursday I got to 18,916 so Fridays step goal was 26,849. I made 22,540 so today's would be 24,309. I'm running late (about 16k now) but that should mean tomorrow is a bigger day. Right now I just need to get my food prep done and I should be good for the…
  • I'm in US Eastern Standard Time (Kentucky) but I keep odd hours so probably seem like I live halfway around the globe
  • yesterday's goals: 1) prep food for work- DONE! 2) set coffee maker to auto make coffee when I wake up- DONE!! 3) clock in at work as early as possible- failed miserably but I'll blame the weather and try again next time, it's good to have things to improve upon :) 4) stay in calorie goal (duh! lol) DONE!! 5) as close to…
  • awesome work all!
  • Thank you- this actually worked LOL!! Out I went and came in just shy of the 3 miles I wanted to do (like around 2.8). I didn't get to jog as much as I would have liked and mostly walked because the sidewalks were so slick and snowy and I didn't want to fall, but I got to enjoy the beautiful snow and being outside just…
  • there are vegan doritos? Hm. Learn something new every day! But more on topic, I have not ever had a diagnosis and no idea if I had/have BED, but I definitely have had many a time where I never feel full and eat and eat and eat. Like the kind of eating where you go from drive-thru to drive-thru, eating the purchase as you…
  • Crazy progress on my weigh-in but this is likely attributed to newbie losses as I just started back on not eating/drinking all-the-things around the start of this challenge. I will monitor then consider upping the calories if progress continues at too fast a pace. yesterday's progress: 1) 21,264 steps- wasn't feeling well…
  • I LOVE pickled beets but try to get the ones done without so much sugar as beets are relatively high in calories to begin with (for as much of them as I am likely to eat LOL!!) At my grocery we have pickled beets in jars and there are also canned pickled beets and I just pick the lowest calorie per gram ones as there can…
  • Yesterday my goals were 20k steps and prep food to eat during work. I woke up late so only got to 18,736 but I did get all my food prepped! I want to get to a 20k day/average so today's goal is to get to 21,264 (already over 17k). No work tonight so goal is just to keep within calories, which may be a challenge as husband…
  • Thank you all!! I was on my laptop and it just wouldn't scroll down (the scroll box on the right was missing even) but it's working today so my connection to google sheets (or my computer) must of just been having a hiccup! Appreciate the responses and thanks for finishing adding my information :)
  • I love you guys! Always good to point out the important difference between an article and a the actual peer reviewed study :) For what it is worth OP, I bought into the meal timing concepts for years. I was never a big breakfast eater, I am just not hungry when I first wake up. More recently I started not eating when I am…
  • my weight fluctuates by 1 lb when I drink a glass of water or pee. Or blow my nose. Or step on the scale a second time. I watch for the trends on the high and low end and worry about the highest number I am seeing and the lowest number I am seeing because I can easily have a 10 lb variation over the course of a day or 2…
  • how about a warm salad like some veggies tossed in a little light vinaigrette heated up? There is one I use (wishbone italian maybe) that is I think 15/20 calories per 2 tablespoons and it actually goes nicely on some heated veggies. Sometimes I will drop grape/cherry tomatoes into my soup, or some other veggie that does…
  • I like to go back and read over my progress and relive all the past little victories and think about how far I have come and how amazed I am that I have made it this far LOL!! I agree with the suggestion of other types of goals, like fitness goals or a step goal. I like trying to beat my best time for an activity, even if…
  • The spreadsheet says something about the window being too small for me to view and to change the frozen cells or something or resize my window but I have the window as big as it will get. I think I maybe got some of my info in from tabbing down but I cannot scroll down and see. Any idea how to fix this? These should be my…
  • hi everyone! I just joined in the group and just got back to logging a week ago. Over the past year I have managed to get myself pretty regularly active so my weight loss stall has been food, which is mainly just a function of consistently taking time to get good choices easily available. My goals for today are: 1) 20k…
  • is it too late to join? if not I will add my info to the bottom of the spreadsheet. I have the numbers for the dates just hadn't had a chance to get online to the groups to post.

  • if it comes right back on it was just water weight to begin with. You don't have to worry about gaining fat just because one week you lost fat "too quickly". So long as you eat in a caloric deficit you won't gain fat. There is also not a thing wrong with eating once a day later in the evening if that is when you like to…
  • What everyone else said. Why would you think 130lbs is not a good weight for long term health? That sounds odd.
  • First off, do not feel "tedious and vague" and as if you are not worthy of asking advice. You are as much worthy of asking as anyone else, that's what the boards are here for. My only other immediate thought is about the orange juice. Yes, it has nutritional value thus it is better than soda but it has a fair amount of…
