Has he noticed your decline in sex drive?
-
LOL Maybe I'll be more of a jerk after I lose another 20#... ;) But seriously, there's no harm in asking what you've asked. Why hurt HIS feelings if it's nothing HE did? He can't fix it. It's your issue, and you need to figure out what it is and why it's happening. No sense in causing emotional trauma for no reason. Dig…

That's so far off base and judgmental, I don't even know what to do with it. What a rotten thing to say, and horrible assumptions to make. She very clearly DOES love the guy...loves him enough to not cheat on him, to not crush him emotionally, to WANT to fix the problem without making him feel like crap about himself in…

I don't typically make entries, unless they are for 'meals', and I don't make them accessible to others so I'm not part of the problem, LOL :) But yes, if we want to get into semantics, you're right, it doesn't defeat the purpose of logging. It defeats the utility of the database, which blows. Like you, I use another…

I've heard that alcohol is metabolized in your muscles, and if your muscles are busy metabolizing the alcohol, any food you eat will be stored rather than burned for energy. Because of this, it's been recommended to not eat while drinking alcohol, or for one hour before and after consuming alcohol. I'd love to find more…

I've had three personal trainers through different periods of my life. All three of them worked me beyond my perceived limits and helped me to achieve the results I was after.
-
Dammit. I kind of figured it either already existed, or has been requested and denied. Poop. And ya, the totally screwy user entries get in the way of legit stuff. 16" loaded pizza, 200 cals is a perfect example. LOL But what's worse is the 50 gazillion different entries for basic stuff. 4oz of chicken should be the same,…

I didn't stick it in the suggestion forum because right now, it's not a suggestion, just a question, and I figured more people would see it and respond here than there :) If it turns out there truly isn't a way, then on to the suggestions forum I'll go!

Ugh, and this woman has a 15" waist. Been in a corset for 20+ years... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brXUBHkGexI

It's real, and she's actually quite beautiful in the face. The rest of her, well, I dunno 'bout that. Ugh. http://www.celebit chy.com/207010/the_84_lb_model_with_the_20_inch_waist_claims_she_eats_junk_food_all_day_nutritionists_disagree/

Oh ya, and we swap out the tires on our bikes with these funky tires that are orange. As expensive as good road tires are, we'd rather get our wear and tear on the road, not burn through them in the basement. If you're interested, I can ask my husband what those tires are and how much they cost.
-
LOL My husband calls the bike trainer a time machine. His reason? Time stops the second you get on, LOL Workouts on the trainer are brutal and seem to take forever. I'm thinking about getting one of these to go along with ours so we can have more fun over the winter while training on ours-…

When it comes to yogurt, I've had a hard time finding anything more delicious than Brown Cow full fat cream top greek yogurt. They make it in several flavors, but my favorite is the Maple. If you can remember the first time you had Greek yogurt and compared it to regular yogurt (that OMG THIS IS SO THICK AND CREAMY AND…

Thank you :) We got married at the starting line of the MS150. Ronnie Shirley (from the tv show Lizard Lick towing) was our minister. It was a great day :D
-
Nice job, Sarah! :) Thanks everyone for the kind words. My trainer just increased my intake and exercise as I enter week 5 under his guidance with nutrition and lifting. I sit here planning my 2000 calorie days and reflect on the sad period that was just a short time ago when I was eating a mere 800 calories a day and…
-
LOL ya, that too. I used to use the specified amount on the bag, but then I noticed on the Mahatma (or maybe Uncle Ben's?) that you can add a surplus of water, boil til soft, then drain. It's my preferred method for cooking rice now, regardless of the type.
-
I cook brown rice the same way I cook pasta....with a LOT of water, cook for about 30 minutes, then drain off the excess water. So good!
-
I like all kinds of rice. White rice, basmati, jasmine, brown, I even bought some black rice this week. I eat rice 4x/day most days and my fitness has never been better. Everything in moderation and appropriate ratios. I was sad panda without rice.

Scooby is a trip. I've just recently started watching his videos. Something about that guy.....maybe it's the way he pretends to struggle as he demonstrates a move he can do easily, but is teaching us weaklings to do :)
-
Microwave mentality. I like that. Makes me long for a simpler time, before microwaves. As long as I can keep my Keurig, LOL But ya, you know, it really does all boil down to the popularity of the microwave. About the same time those were in just about every household is when our nation started becoming a bunch of tubbies.…

They clean those messes up with bleach and other chemicals, which then drain into the sewer and out into the local water supply. When this was found out in our area, people were outraged. Not to mention, they get all the volunteers for free and pocket the majority of money made from registration fees with minimal going to…

The best suggestion I can have for you is to teach by example, and limit the junk in your home. Months ago, I stopped buying store-bought snacks in favor of making a weekly batch of home made cookies. Sure, it's still sugar and flour, but it's just once a day in their lunch box at school. Aside from that, they eat fruit,…

I can see your images if I open them in a new tab. WOW!

You look fantastic, and although I know it's hard to internalize, you really were just flat out adorable through all your stages- chubby, thin and geeky, all of them! Nice job!! And that halloween outfit ROCKS!
-
Based on your screen name, I'm going out on a limb and going to assume you are in NC? If so, can you send me a private message with some more details, such as what doctor you used, how your experience with them was, etc? And hey, since you said you'd be happy to post some pics, please do! :smile:
-
not sure what a shrink can do to help with this. the anxiety she's experiencing i'd think would be pretty natural, given the circumstances. that is a pretty interesting looking tummy you have there. have you been to the dr to find out what's causing it? doesn't look like a posture issue, or even a fat issue. it looks like…
-
You're handling this a lot more calmly than I think I could. Ugh. That pic was just out of this world disgusting. Between my kids and my husband, we're about a box a week Clif bar family. gag.....

mmmm!! i've got some black drum i may have to try this on. nom nom nom thanks for sharing!
