And to those of you who keep saying that's beating a dead horse and the forums are meant for help and encouragement... Since when is telling someone the truth that could effect their weightloss not help? Oh, but I assume guessing what the person above you does for an occupation is a HUGE help huh? Forums are like…

Not really. Yes MFP does have different activity levels that change you calorie count per day but it changes it by a small amount really. And that may mean a person in construction burns more calories a day than a person in a chair all day, but that is already accounted for. You aren't losing extra calories on top of that…

OP is my husband, so we've talked about it. He means a little of both. I just walked around the mall today for an hour and then the grocery store for another 30mins, and yesterday I went "swimming" but I didn't log any of that because it was a slow, keeping up with an 18 month old's pace, and had I been home I would have…

I am from the south. Born in Texas, raised in Arkansas, now living in NJ.

I am only in my 20s. Most people don't really worry about losing their parents to health issues that young, but sometimes I feel like I'm just waiting on the call. Most of my mom's health issues are weight related. She couldn't really help much when I had my babies. She was able to make it, but she can't even walk over to…

OMG ME,!!!! I hate that it's so hot in my gym, seriously not sure there is a/c in there at all. I hate that I need a shower as soon as I get home, but it's not always possible bc I have two toddlers and a husband who want dinner. I hate that even if I can just ump in the shower, I feel too tired to stand there and do it. I…

My husband loves Express Men, so I would love to one day, walk into Express and walk out with something for both of us. I have a LONG way to go before that happens!

I can finally cross my legs again, without feeling like it's sliding off or my foot is going to sleep!

If it's a 3-7 day event then eating unhealthy food during that time won't undo all of yournwork. Just get back on track afterwards. If it's a zombie apocalypse, then you'll ne too hungry to care if it's healthy. You'll just be glad to have food and not be food, and you'll get plenty of cardio running for your life, so I…

1. I a tweezer addict. I'm always looking for the perfect pair. 2. I once broke up with a guy for smelling his socks after he took them off. 3. I was 21 before I had my first date. 4. I met my husband on an aviation website while working on my private pilot license. 5. I love deodorant. I use it in 5 places on my body…

I feel ya. I LOVE food too. High fat cheeses, cookies, chocolate, chips, pasta, fries, anyhing cooked in butter, soda... but the good news is that you'll never have to live a life totally free of these things. I have been overweight my whole life and tried various ways to lose weight. It was always a failure before it…

My rewards will be much needed clothes, a trip home eventually, Navy Ball with the hubby, and a roller coaster ride. All for different reasons, but all very meaningful in their own way!

I can't even be in the house when the vinegar bottle is opened without gagging. I've even been know to nearly vomit in the store when walking down the isle where the vinegar is. To say I hate vinegar would be an understatement. So what dressings other than, oil and vinegar and vinegarette dressings are good? I tend to just…

Why would you stop reading them if you enjoy them? Tons of adults like animated movies which are most of the time technically for kids, not even teens. I'm 29, and I still enjoy a good YA book as well!

definitely me and my husband, ocukor1.

I grew ip on a family who had no knowledge of what eating healthy meant. My mom is a fabulous cook and an even better baker, but she never said, " no, one slice of cake is enough." I followed in the path laid before me. Now I am an adult, with children and I have made it my goal to change that path, not only for my kids,…

We have 2, a boy who is 3 1/2 and a girl who is 1 1/2. We're hoping for at least 1 more, most likely 2 more, but unfortunately no more bc I have to have c-sections.

I have the opposite problem. Now that I am eating healthier, I find it nearly impossible to eat all my calories. I am definitely NOT starving either. I eat all day!

Stunning results! Good work!

I met my husband on a non-dating internet website, and we're happily married, working on making our 3rd kid.

It doesn't really matter if fat is the enemy or not,nit was a logging question. I agree that if it cooks in the fat, wheather or not it's good or bad, she would need to log it somehow. I would leave the skin off if I didn't plan to eat it. I'm sure it won't ruin the recipe.

I plan to wear my clothes until they look complteely sloppy and fall off me bc I have a ton of weight to lose and will hopefully go through many many sizes. That said, I started off at over 300lbs, lost 50 and can still get by with most of my clothes although, I'm sure I'm technically in a smaller size now.

I think it depends on how big you were and for how long. I've read that it can take up to 2 or 3 yrs for your skin to settle in it's final position agter losing weight. The older you are, longer you carry the weight, and heavier you are, the less likely it is to bounce back. There is a breaking point, where your skin is…

50% Italian, other 50% is a mixture of Irish, native American...

I'm doing exactly what I have always wantes to do and I still feel like that at times. My husband is extremely successful considering his background, and he tends to compare himself and feel less than at times. It may not be healthy, but it's normal. I hope things look up for you. Remember, you still probably have a much…

I was always super regular, but a few weeks after I started eating better, I got really constipated a few times. I think my body just eventually adjusted bc I am back to being regular!

I wanted to respond while I still can. Only in my 20s for 11 more months. :(

Like others have said, I thinknit depends on how often it's happening. If it's often, take a look at what you're doing, right and wrong and adjust. I have not binged once yet, but the difference this time is that I finlly feel like I have a better grasp of what decently healthy food is, how to read labels, and correct…

Definitely the forehead, but I can skip kissing altogether to have my hair played with. I would pay to have my scalp massaged and hair stroked for an hour. I'm in heaven on the nights I can sucker my husband into it. I make him happy, he makes me happy! :D

Thank you. It helps to hear from someone else who experienced it. I have this crazy fear that'll hit my goalnweight and only go down like 2 pant sizes and still look fat. lol
