"Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself." - Proverbs

I did it for a year. Wasn't bad. But I now realize the foolishness of my ways. I'll have good dark chocolate now and then if I want. Still, good luck on your quest! If it gets you feeling great about yourself, then it's worth it.

As others have said, watch your form. If ya don't, a shoulder injury is upcoming.

As fate would have it, I'm in the same boat as you. ;) And yes, I believe it will work. Can't wait. 13 more days . . . :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Big hugs. I love you MFP forums. Even on vacation you always make my day better. No shortage of stupid here. My magic 8-ball says: All signs point to popcorn.

Dangerous.

Chatting on MFP wondering WTF I'm doing sitting at a PoS computer throwing out **** to make people LOL.

I just use my amazing superpower of not giving a ****. Works all the time.

What to Expect When You're Expecting. Actually, I'm just scanning through it looking for pics.

Well, it started when I got rid of my ex-wife. That was about 109 pounds of pure dead weight. After that, I lost 51 lbs via eating better, cardio and weight lifitng and minimizing crappy days. And now I'm working on 50 more (maybe a little more or less depending how body composition ends up).

I've dropped 50lbs since starting this ride last year. In that time I've paid zero attention to natural sugars in fruit. Instead, I simply cut out sweets. Lately, I've been allowing myself some dark chocolate and minor normal life stuff, but I never count sugar from fruit. I'm just watching sugar from junk stuff.

There are so many things that can be right or wrong, none of us know. I highly doubt it's your body UNLESS he never loved you in the first place. (Love not lust) Aside from that, he's decided to play for the other team, there's another woman, he's not functioning right now or he's looking. Of course his sex drive could of…

I'm in Vegas. People always think this place is just about parties, hot chicks on the nightly, gambling, sunshine and awesomeness. Let me just say that. Oh wait. Forget it. :)

I love fat people. Just sayin'. And yeah, I love me too. Who's up for some clear broth soup and Chips Ahoy?

Carbs, Protein and Fat.

Watch what you read on the forums. Lots of BS abounds. Most protein shakes are just marketing vehicles. Read the label closely.

I was weekly, but I put the scale away and will be doing monthly from here out I think.

Just say no to stuff you don't want. Hummus and veggies is great. I'd hit that. Some parties can really suck. If you're hungry, pick the least damaging stuff and go for it.

Coconut oil *can* boost your metabolism, increase energy and boost your thyroid. Cooking in it is better than cooking in olive oil. But it's not a miracle drug. It's just one piece in the puzzle that is healthy living. And BTW, nothing spot reduces fat.

It's amazing how bodybuilders work their *kitten* off to gain a a little bit of muscle in a month, but someone on a cut trying to lose weight can pop 5lbs of muscle in a weekend. :) Like everyone else said it's usually water. Keep tabs on your measurements and bodyfat %.

Walk away. He's knocked up a chick and is now running away and off to you. This is a boy, not a man. And in the end, you'll be no different than his last fling. Also, judge a man by his actions not his words.

Buying a 6-pack of Sam Adams and a pizza and not caring about the scale. Ask me tomorrow how I feel. :)

Diet is the most important thing, even more so at your weight. Fix that up and then start weight lifting 3x a week (full body). Mix in HIIT cardio 2-4x a week (work up to it). If you're out of shape, start real slow on the HIIT and just progress as you can.

If I'm going to replace a meal I'll do: 10oz Silk - Pure Almond - Dark Chocolate Milk 2 scoops of Syntha-6 - Chocolate Milk Shake Protein Powder (this is a blend of various proteins -- slow,med,fast). Cals: 550 Prot: 45g Carb: 59g Fiber 7g If I want a meal replacement-ish shake with more fast proteins, I'll take out 1…

Got my own thing going. I log so I can make sure I hit my cals + macro goals. It's a lifestyle thing.

You'll be ok. Just get going soon. Your body isn't on a 24-hour clock so having a terrible weekend isn't the end of the world. Worse thing you can do is give up. Good luck!

If I gain weight, the terrorists win. :)

It's better you find a LIFESTYLE that's as healthy as possible (so having your Kit Kat now and then) verses some militaristic diet camp crap that will only fail in the end.

Haters gotta hate to make themselves feel better. I love empty people. :)
