Its probably been said before but it bears repeating. make sure you report this to the Police even if you cannot identify the jerk. The police will then be aware of the situation, if not already, and can work on catching the s@#m.

My motivation was pretty serious but I do understand your problem. The trick is first determining how much time you can spend in exercise then find a routine that you can fit into that time. For me I can only spare 20 min. in the morning. I have a hard time waking up very early but I can wake up just early enough to fit in…

I am just the opposite, I eat when I am stressed and am usually stressed. Feel free to add me, chatting on line keeps me away from the food.

Hi, been trying to get the same 20 lbs off for years. I tried everything with limited results. 2 years ago I was given an ultimatum from my doctor. My choice was to live, and not be a burden. I have lost quite a bit of weight but now back on that stubborn 20. Feel free to add me, I will help as best as I can. I am sure you…

Hi Ann, this is a great place you will find a lot of supportive and fun friends. Feel free to add me if you like.

Yeah, got your Italian American, right here. Mother's family from Positano, father's family from Naples. From there Brooklyn, Jersey and now NC. Always looking for my lost Latin brothers and sisters. Add me as a friend if you want.

Most days of the week, I do two workouts a day but they are very different. The morning routine is a Bodyweight circuit training workout, the evening routine is my martial art practice. It works very well for me.

Good luck on your journey. The support is here if you need it you can add me if you like.

That is a great idea, didn't think of that one. I belong to the neighborhood pool committee. There are 3 ladies and 2 guys on the committee and when we meet the ladies have gotten in their heads to out due one another in serving homemade deserts. It went from cookies to full blown cheese cakes. The meetings last for a…

I enjoy yoga and it works well with my Karate practice since all martial art originally came through yoga. When Taishi Daruma crossed the Himalayas into China and founded the shaolin temple, it was through the practice of yoga that the monks gained the strength to study martial art. The Sanchin kata has many elements of…

Not sure how to answer 1, but here is an answer for 2. If you are doing a full body workout, that is to say you are exercising your entire body chest, back, legs etc. Then you should do that every other day. Muscle growth actually happens during the rest period. Now if you are doing a split routine, that is chest and back…

Feel free to add me, I am happy to help. Been trying to lose the same 20 lbs for many years could use help as well.

You can add me as well.

When people actually take control of their weight issues and see the person they always wanted to be they are excited, and proud. My grandma may blush but she would be happy for me......Then make me a pan of brownies cause I look like I'm hungry.

Hi Lindsay, Best of luck on your upcoming marriage. I am confident that you will hit your goals and look fantastic on your special day. Don't knock yourself out 10 lbs is 10 lbs you are doing great. I find MFP to be a great help to me, I have met some wonderful people here who offer a lot of support. If you need it too…

If you don't have a partner you could also shadow box, Bruce Lee did this quite often.

A dating service, it was love at first sight for both of us but I denied it for sometime. We have been together for 16 yrs this June.

All you ladies are so good for my ego thank you.

Hey 48 here, working my tail off giving the younger guys at the dojo a run for their money. First and oldest black belt at my school. You can do this.

I have a before picture for this year, I wish I had one back in January of 2010 when I was 210 lbs, I haven't posted it because I have been stuck at my current plateau for 8 months.

I have the same problem at work, everyday there are about 50 pizza boxes in the the office because of some customer lunch and learn. The smell permeates the entire office and drives me up a wall. At home my wife and kids have super fast metabolisms so they can eat whatever they want and I have to exercise extreme will…

I was going to suggest this, I get hives when exposed to a new cat. Benadryl usually takes care of it after a day, after that I am fine.

Mountain Climbers!

Try some garage sales. I got a lot of plates and dumbbells real cheap via garage sales. You can get almost any type of exercise equipment via garage sales.

Big bang theory: Sheldon is like my son. Archer: not sure if you call it a sitcom. Rob: it is just like my inlaws. Everybody Loves Raymond: My family, and I am not Raymond.

Hi Renee, you can add me as well. I need to lose 25 lbs but its getting harder everyday.

YES! I do too. :smile:

I like to use the Protica - "Orange" Isometric Meal Replacement. Walgreens.com and Lucky Vitamins.com sells them. They come in what looks like a big test tube. They are only 3.2 oz but they seem better balanced than some of the others I have tried. The down side is that sometimes they are a bit gritty but it is basically…

I only log water as water. Tea, coffee or whatever gets logged in as part of the meal.
