Don't know what kind of gyms you guys all go to...complaining about people talking "too much", hogging machines, running in the gym, running too much, running too little, about being stared at, grunting, the guy who wears hair gel, "complaining" about being stared at, about the guy lifting too much weight, too little…

Many of us do! =)

I am not sure about the nutritional content for Quest Bars (and a lot of people seem to have given you some information), but you know which bar I really like for taste? It's a bar called "Solo". No protein bar will be cheap unfortunately =)

I understand you mean added sugars, and I did cut it off when I was at my healthiest point. Not completely, I mean sometimes I would even forget I ate a bit. And for ME...in my own personal experience, that's when I had the highest weight loss rate of all and I think I even gained a little bit of muscle. And ultimately, I…

I saw your pictures in your profile, and you know - you were always so beautiful, regardless of weight. I swear I don't compliment women's picture very often, but yours stuck out to me for some reason.

I was hoping you'd tell us why you wished you started lifting from the beginning? I ask because it's something I really would like to do, but lack the confidence. I run and diet like you started with, and do a little bit of high rep, low weight to help preserve muscle. However, I would love to know why you decided lifting…

You're really not a good ear, or a good person for advice (or so it seems from what I've read from the comments you've made of being "helpful"). The user wasn't asking for magic. They were asking for advice, reminders, mind tricks that could be of use to fulfill and succeed the conscious decision not to go back for more.

I'm hardly ever disgusted, but lol, dang - that made me feel grossed out.

Lol, I've had binges where I go over 10,000 calories in a day, over 3-5 consecutive days. It's so painful, but it's not impossible. It's miserable though. At no point does it feel good.

Stuff like that is totally normal girl! =) I sometimes do that with whey powder. I used to eat skim milk powder by the spoonful. So good. Till I started choking. Then went back for moaaar.

On the other hand....if you need to "lose more" till the good stuff comes around, then I wouldn't say that's the good stuff. I'd say that's the shallow stuff.

I don't get hit on either. I don't get noticed at all. I got noticed sometimes when I was 30 pounds lighter than I am now, but definitely not like other women.

I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must have been to lose all that weight. Wow, I'm actually speechless.

Lol me too xD

For me...moderation does not work. I cannot just have "one serving" of something sweet. I go on a downspiral of binging and over-eating all the sweets. The only thing that has ever worked for me consistently is going cold turkey. I just don't eat any sweets (aside from fruit) at all. It's too much of a trigger. Some people…

Wow, you have a loving husband. A lot of men I know would leave if the wife got fat.

Aww, I have two very big sisters, and one sister who is slim, but the other two just refuse to do anything about it. My father is muscular, but also has way too much fat, and my mother is very, very slim, but they are definitely not supportive at all. The two big sisters blame it on genes I think, but honestly, obesity…

It's going to be a healthy fat, you'll want to make room for it. Make sure you have an overall deficit is all. Include it into your diet and don't think of it as "wasting 130" calories because any healthy oils (flax, coconut) is going to be healthy for you. Make room for it in your diet. Eating 130 calories worth of…

Yeah, you're not a cow, you actually look really nice =) How much does your husband weigh and how tall is he? Less than 140 for a man sounds low, but I don't know him at all so what do I know. I do think it's a little high (the work out), but maybe just do what he mentioned every OTHER day. And cut some things out/rotate…

Am I the only one who loves how hard she defends her husband? I really admire that. Like really.

Lol, I wanted to!! But there are cameras and my apron pockets only fit so much. =(

Bah, this is terribly embarrassing, and I feel like I will regret posting it on here. I have a horrible addiction with sugar, and it seems to control me the way gambling or psychoactive drugs control behavior and cravings, but...I work for Starbucks in a Safeway, and we have a garbage can container of organic wastes, so…

These posts are so mean.... xD Maybe he sweats really bad funk and likes to mask it with some good scents?

Would you like to share what your lifting regime was? =)

Bump

Am surprised anyone is surprised by any of the foods they log in. Don't you guys look at the back of he nutrition packet before you guys consume it? That's what I've always done...even before I discovered MyFitnessPal. =)

Yeah, start with the 9th Doctor, but could I ask why you are wanting to start Doctor Who and curious about it enough to even ask where to begin?

I think it may be a struggle of a lifetime. When I wasn't binging, there was no real cause for actually being able to stop myself. It just...seemed like I was stronger. The only times I have been able to not binge/have control is when I desperately wanted to be healthy again. I have thought about how helpful it would be to…

I think this girl just wants people to compliment her by telling her that she probably looks "sexy". I wouldn't try to reason with this person. She got hostile at you for absolutely NO valid reason.
