Oh come on! NO more Paul Simon fans? *feels incredibly old* This is craziness.

Alexandra - I do believe she has a girlfriend. I'm not a 'homo' as you so eloquently put it... haha, but just wanted to say that sexuality interests me a lot less then gender. Has anyone else noticed there seem to be far fewer males? What's up with that?

I agree. I don't understand how just throwing it out is harder then spraying it with windex. Either method is removing the food and wasting it too.

Because I am how I am I don't understand not being able to reach 1200 calories per day (and actually commented on this the other day on my status..?). I struggle not to hit 1500 per day (haha) except on exercise days where I usually hit around 2000 (with exercise cals on top of 1300 daily limit). I have to say this topic…

I don't know what would be best for you but I'm a night exerciser and I plan my meals WITH exercise calories at the start of the day. I do the same exercises so I know how much I'm going to burn (I'm a runner mainly and the calorie burn varies VERY little). Anyway, using this method I eat my exercise calories before…

Heh - Casper you're crazy fun. But I agree. I normally only comment on things that catch my eye. People log their calories every day - I'll only comment on that if I know someone has been struggling to meet calorie goals, otherwise logging isn't really anything special. Exercise? That's pretty amazing sometimes but if…

OMG. This made me flash back to math class and I suddenly feel the need for some comfort food... ;) Just kidding. Heh.

400 cals per meal is fine if you're having three meals and three snacks per day which leaves you eating every 2-3 hours. Nursing is hard work!

Paul Simon - Graceland. People say she's crazy - she's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes... well, that's one way to lose those walking blues... diamonds on the soles of her shoes. <3

They are rather ironic but when I signed up for myfitnesspal I never thought of it as a 'health' site, I saw it as a 'lose weight' site...

You beat me to it... What are some fast absorbing proteins?

I miss being warm. ): I've been FREEZING since the weight came off. *sigh* I miss Penningtons... when I go there now the sales ladies glare at me. ): And nothing fits... I miss being able to find bras that fit (I'm a large cup, small band now which limits my options in town VERY much). I miss being able to wear my rings…

The people on MFP all have eating issues... clearly. Or we wouldn't all be struggling with our weight. :) As to the original post; Unfortunately it is no one's business what she does or doesn't do. The gym is not responsible for her eating habits and definitely not responsible for her working out habits. The only people…

I didn't freak out but I hadn't entered all my calories for the day so I wasn't sure what to eat. HAHAHAHA. I was so happy when it came back up and decided to start logging everything start of day and printing it out so if something like this happens again it won't matter.

Week 3 Day 2 down! It's not getting easier but it's feeling way better... if that makes sense? :) I'm excited to tackle week 4 next week!!!

Good for you!! I SUCK at bike riding! I'd love to be able to get out there...

I had to stop. ): Injured my back. As soon as it's better I'll start again but this time with the goal of building up enough muscle to move onto P90! Lofty goals.... but I've decided I want to push myself, really REALLY... and sometime next year I hope to be ready for P90X... partly because just ONCE in my life I'd LOVE to…

[Brief thread highjack] Thanks! I'm an overthinker, I've been trying to learn how to STOP. Haha. Hard process! Harder then portion control!!! Wait... it IS like portion control, for the brain! :D[End Brief thread highjack]

Thank you. :) I'm from a family of ranchers and farmers... I've never been involved in the big food making industry but the animals on our farm were treated VERY well and slaughtered quite humanely. With some animals (sheep for example) they CAN'T be scared/upset when they die or it spoils the meat (or at least I've been…

OP: As to how to deal with Debbie Downers - kill them with love. Don't let it dig under your skin and sour your insides. Treat negativity like dust that you wipe off your clothes/feet and just explain to them (next time) how important this is to you. Just explain that you're not willing to allow yourself 'just one day'…

I actually have allergies and was unable to eat at restaurants due to the severity and number of allergies I had for a very long time... my family went to restaurants anyway and I always tagged along for the conversation. It never bothered me to be the only one at the table not eating and they never made a big deal out of…

Just on a side note... some people did NOT have good mothers. *shrug* So some people won't be buying flowers or cards for reasons that are difficult for those who've had decent mothers to understand. I actually had a bit of an argument about this very topic today. Haha. That said I'm very sorry for your loss. I hate…

I do feel silly but now I'm worried about Week 4. HAHA. It just seems so impossible I guess. I haven't run since I was a kid... and I honestly forgot how good it feels. Anyway. :) I'll keep plodding along!

): I think they say to drink at least a full hour before a workout and then just small amounts as needed during working out? But that could just be the little system I found works for me more then what 'they' suggested. haha. Sorry! But at least you did it!

It was light enough out that I ran tonight after work! It was... fantastic!!!!! I've never been so pumped in my life! I did it! Haha. I'm very, very excited to keep pushing onward! Thanks for encouraging me to do Week 3. :)

I don't understand the baby carrot hate. ): Those things are a great quick snack when you're on the go and don't have time for peeling. I find vegetables don't fill me up but they DO make me feel very sick (sometimes I feel like a carnivore or something - haha, even if I hate meat) so I'm curious to see what suggestions…

Acording to my doc when on a restricted diet it's imperative to take a multivitamin... so I do. When I remember. ;)

My running partner cancelled last night and I'm not comfortable running alone at night so I thought I'd run this morning but then I slept in. ): So I'm going to try the run alone tomorrow morning. I'm really nervous about hitting Week 3 but also hitting Week 3 on my own... but I want to do this! Wish me luck!

So I've decided after I'm done the 30DS I'm going to take a few days off before doing it again and then I'm going to move on to P90. :) The idea of being toned is nice but I want more then that! Besides, I checked out P90 and it's not too different from what I was doing at the gym when I used to go. Anyway, I haven't…
