A vacation where someone else handles all of the planning, packing, ticketing, etc. All I would have to do is get up in the morning, get dressed, and everything else would be done for me for the entire trip. The destination would be secondary. Would you travel to the Space Station if it were offered as a free trip?

IMHO giving the blanket advice to "lift heavy things" is dangerous.

I'd choose the superpower to be able to produce diamonds out of coal. What is your biggest success in life up until today?

Congrats on getting back on track. I'm not sure what you mean about not being able to stand to eat healthy. Eating healthy is going to have to be a new lifestyle choice for you, if you want to lose the extra unhealthful pounds and keep them off. Maybe you should concentrate on good choices for a week, learn some new simple…

Their website gives some prices: Initial fee $195 + Weekly visits $55 . That is over $3000 for the first year. $3000 would buy a membership in a good exercise gym, and time with a nutritionist. It saddens me that people get so desperate and look to others to "take control" of their problems rather than develop the skills…

And, the closer to the goal weight, the slower the progress. That makes those last few pounds seem to drag on forever [insert my name here, ha]. Because the less you weigh, the less calories it takes to just maintain weight. That leaves little room for working in a calorie deficit. You will do good, you have shown interest…

Sigh. I'd not be lifting heavy things unless you are in the physical condition to be doing so. I back injury is not going to help your dieting.

OMG, you are one dedicated dieter! Great work, one slice and mile at a time!!

I have a newly diagnoised diabetic cat. Now, that is something to contend with, and makes calorie counting seem like child's play. Are you thinking about the upcoming Easter treats, and planning ahead so your diet is not sabatoged?

Viva the ability to make your food log private.

Here is a link that might be of interest, it tells how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight (at your curent stats). http://www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-metabolism-calculator I entered your stats, 5 ft. 0 inches, 130 pounds, female, 35 years, and guessed "light activity". It says you need 1662 calories a…

When my highschooler's friends are in trouble at school, we moms compare notes. Here's a couple of thoughts for you to consider: 1) Habitual ditching of a class usually starts "after" the student is failing (ditching is not the "cause" of the failing in the beginning, ditching just insures a failure that has already…

Inigo started to chase them, but then stopped suddenly in his tracks because right there in front on him was ......

Yep, that would sure do me in. Anyway, that site reinforces my belief that a major key to weight loss is keeping track of those 3500 calories per pound of body weight (excess = gain, deficite = lose]. The MFP food diary helps with that.

Humm, how about Starbucks Venti (20 oz.) White Chocolate Mocha with 2% milk and whipped cream, with 580 calories and 15 grams of saturated fat ( worse than a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese). Or pork rinds. Yuck. :tongue: Ha. Anyway, I know what you mean. "Portion control" is a great weight loss tip!
-
What a great site for comparisons! I need to lose 8 pounds. I can either: NOT eat 40 Whoppers or Walk 322 miles. I'll take the cut in calorie intake, thank you very much. (Although, the exercise would definitely tone up some sagging muscles). Humm, maybe a combo approach would be best. Anyway, thanks for giving an…

Oh but you HAVE found a starting point. You have found the will to lose weight, that is the start!! Congratulations on that! Now, the next steps will follow, and lead you to success. Keep working towards it, and allow yourself the time it takes without beating yourself up over a timeline.:flowerforyou:
-
This site is full of wonderful tips, and many great helpful people. My advice is to log in daily, to help keep motivated. About the only negative thing is that there are sometimes some less-than-scientific theories that are put out there, so be careful to not believe everything you read. In other words, seperate the…

Peggy Sue. Do you wear jammies or sleep nude? :blushing:

Buy one pair of inexpensive jeans that fit well at your current weight. That way, you can take full advantage of looking better NOW, while not investing too much in something that will not be useful for long. I've found decent jeans for less than $15 at Walmart, and worth every penny, so that I can feel the happiness that…

Gee, you took an important option for it being "healthy" off the list. Switching to brown rice would be a much healthier choice than white rice.

I live in Hawaii, and have seen many a celebrity in airports and restaurants. And having worked here my entire adult life, I've ran into a few during food service and car rental duties that I did in my earlier working days. Most recently I saw KC (KC and the Sunshine Band) at an airport, and sat next to Kapono (Cecilio and…

Yes, and thankfully I am a married woman. :blushing:

I will only add that a pound of weight is 3500 calories. Eat 3500 calories more than you burn, and you gain a pound. Eat 3500 calories less than you burn, and you loose a pound. It is basic simple math. Keep that in mind when you read some of the advice that you'll occasionally see here on MFP in the many different threads…

Every day first thing in the morning. The scale is my friend. It gently tells me when things are not going as well as I"d like, to help motivate me. It rewards me when things are going great by showing me progress with a lower number. I fully realize that my weight can vary by a pound or so from day to day, so I only chart…

Sure you do!! You just have to develop the habit of using your will power on food choices. For example, I bet you don't pick up that cute wallet you cannot afford and put it into your pocket, because you have the WILL POWER to do the right thing and not steal. I bet you do not drive drunk because you have the WILL POWER to…

That is a great idea, and could save you an extra visit. Be sure to mention the symptoms to the doctor, so he can be sure to ask for ALL of the right tests. We have on more than one occasion had the problem of having a doctor ask for a routine blood test, but then not requesting the "type" of testing that actually needed…
