and if we do want to see your nipples? then what? edit: OK I left this sit out there for a while with no response so I'll edit it to add the rest of my statement... I'll likely notice in passing, but as others have said, I'm there for me, not for you. I normally don't take my earbuds out of my ears while I'm at the gym…

I don't discriminate against Canadians... they are basically like us just the cold makes them not realize they say eh? =) sorry, my step mom lives in MB and I pick on her all the time

I have a S&W .38special +p model 642 "airweight" that is a really nice little revolver. Thats my concealed gun because it weighs much less than my 40 or my 22 pistols. Added crimson trace laser grip to it, shoots nice but its LOUD with its little snub barrell... but I can put it in my pants pocket and not have a big bulge…

turkey bacon is amazing... I eat it quite often now, but I never used to eat bacon at all, its just been the last six months or so that I started eating it, so I immediately decided I needed something healthier so I could eat it more and I LOVE turkey bacon... tastes amazing to me =)

agreed, give me Jif or give me death!

you look great, keep up the hard work, its working in ways you don't realize =)

contrary to popular beliefs, peanut butter is NOT bad for you... it does have a lot of fat in it, but its good fat for the most part, which MFP tracks wrong... MFP says not to get any mono or polyunsaturated fats, but really they are good for you, on the contrary MFP puts a goal for how much saturated fat you should eat in…

tuesdays I always have three chicken tacos w/ lettuce, tomato,cheese and hot sauce... one of the bars in town has $0.99 tacos on tuesdays so I'm there every tuesday =)

I have hunting property in TN, but its western ->Waynesboro... I live in Michigan, only manage to get down to my hunting property about once a year unfortunately =(

I love the walking dead... I haven't gotten into game of thrones yet because my fiance bought me the first book and told me I had to read it before I could start watching the series... needless to say I haven't managed that yet, its the next book in line for me but I have one I'm struggling to make time to finish in front…

My breakfasts consist of one of the following depending on the day and what I plan to eat the rest of the day... 1 Cup Cheerios + 1/2 cup Milk = 160 calories 2 Slice of smart wheat bread with lots of Jif peanut butter = 480 calories 6 slices of turkey bacon (cut in half to fool my mind into thinking its really 12 slices) =…

can add me, I'm fairly active although I sometimes slack on the weekends

another thing to keep in mind is you need to reset your calorie goal as you lose weight... I was just playing around with my goals to try and see what someone was complaining about on another thread and saw when I went back to my normal goals it reduced my calorie goal by 40 cals / day (from a 7lb loss since the last time…

yay for dihydrogen monoxide... no wonder I'm so fat! =)

I'd personally suggest trying to be more consistent with logging your foods as accurately as possible... I know when I slack off I go overboard so I try to log as accurately as I can ( I have been slacking on the weekends lately though which I need to get back into the habit of doing it every day...) I also wouldn't…

two things 1) skipping meals causes your blood sugar level to drop, could cause lack of energy 2) causes your metabolism to drop, your metabolism increases after eating to process all of the foods you ate, if you don't eat consistently throughout the day your metabolism slows down as your energy levels drop. that being…

can add me if you'd like, I've recently returned from a hiatus and started logging again

I don't have kids, but I've dated women who had kids... personally I would always put my kids first, and I would expect the same out of anyone else... its part of being a good parent (and although I may not have my own kids, I was more of a father to the kids of the women I dated than their own fathers ever were). Your…

MFP does not take into account your height, weight, body type, muscle content, fat content, heart rate, etc when it estimates calories.... so yes, it's an estimate... if you're uncomfortable with it just log that you did the exercise for less time than you really did and you'll be ok

I've spoke with a nutritionist in the past who basically said fruits and veggies were free (especially vegetables), that you get so many nutrients out of them that you can eat as many as you want even if you don't have the calories available for them - most people make them unhealthy by adding stuff to them... I don't…

I keep Pepperidge farm goldfish packets (130cal serving size), nabisco lorna doones cookies (100 cal package), applesauce, fruit cups, wheat thin buffalo flavored crackers... graham crackers, and the slim fast 100 cal snacks and 200cal meal bars in my overhead cabinet at my desk at work...

join the gym, work 1-on-1 with a trainer for a few months so they can help you develop a good routine, also meet 1-on-1 with a nutritionist so they can help with setting up the foods you should be eating and review with them what you eat... between the nutritionist and the trainer they'll get you going where you want to go…

do NOT stop, two years ago I lost 30+ lbs in 3 months by diet and exercise, I wasn't quite to my goal of being under 200 lbs but it was less than I had weighed in years, I was in a good habit then I stopped and thought I'd just maintain for a while... I put 40 lbs back on over the next 9 months and now its tougher than it…

I don't have any particular recipe for you, but I would recommend using turkey bacon for whatever you end up doing... just be careful when cooking it because it burns faster due to lower fat content... but its just as tasty and half decent for you... I buy butterball turkey bacon with reduced sodium yummy had some for…

I'd set a lower goal, if you've gained 20 lbs in 12 months try losing that same 20 lbs in 4 months because if you aren't athletic then I'm going to assume you don't work out much, and that means you'll need some very serious motivation to get into a good workout routine... it's a lot tougher to get yourself into a workout…

I'm borderline pre-hypertension so they've threatened me with pills before but I told them I wouldn't take them if they prescribed them so not to bother... I've made small improvements by losing weight, eating healthier, exercising, and paying MUCH closer attention to my sodium... switched to potassium chloride instead of…

I like the slim fast 321 meal bars, either the chocolate fudge brownie or the chocolate cookie dough bars are pretty good, coming from a guy that doesn't like granola bars or anything like that and just a picky eater in general... also have a container of "strawberry slim supreme" which is a meijer brand knock off of the…

Amen!

I use the MFP estimates for myself just because I think its pretty accurate for how many calories I would burn in an hour on a treadmill at a fast walk... I'm a cold water diver though, so even if the dive is a little more relaxed than being on a treadmill you're burning the extra calories trying to keep yourself warm,…
