Way to go! I set super smart targets...as in one pound at a time!

It's hard to believe your pics of are the same person! Amazing! You look great, and HAPPY! Transformation both inside and out!

hmm, I tried.

Stop trying to understand the 'why'. You will never understand why he did what he did or why he wasn't your friend or why this or why that. Even if he told you straight to your face the WHY, you wouldn't be satisfied with the answer anyway. You will either still not understand the motivation to his WHY, or otherwise to try…

I was only a few pages into the thread and it disappeared! What did I miss?? ETA: I AGREE completely that Hoss is DA MAN. What an amazing accomplishment, too bad people felt the need to poo-poo all over that.

Thanks, it just got confusing to me because when I used the TDEE calculator I used the moderate activity level, taking into considerationg the strength training, but I've read over and over in the forums that weight lifting doesn't burn much calories (act least in the act) and that MFP doesn't even add calories for that…

Thanks bonita, I understand that with TDEE you don't eat back your exercise calories, that's why I want to calculate TDEE correctly. I guess I'll continue with what I've been doing.

Somewhat related question...if you don't add calories in MFP for weight lifting, how do you calculate your TDEE? Do I leave it out when adding activity level for TDEE calculators?

I don't see how you answered how OP leads to a rant about the government. He never implied anything about the government forcing you to do anything. You brought that up all by yourself, then continued on about mandated "state" uniforms, which really has nothing to do with anything OP was saying.

I have a hard time relating your two posts to the original post. OP was ranting about how people don't mind spending a lot of money on their posessions but not on their health. What does that have to do with being an American and not wanting the government to force you to buy health care or "mandated state uniforms" or…

Amazing! Congratulations!

I find this: "my co-worker's husband comes in to change his wife's vacation days in the work calender." to be the oddest part of the entire story.

I think her message was more: You are special to someone, therefore, you are special.

Bump

Okay :( Well, I tried! LOL I think I might have found a decent place in Northeast Heights. We shall see.

bump...Anyone out there in ABQ? lol OOPS, sorry. My OP had a typo...Looks like I"ll be working in the NW-ish area of town. (I live in the NE area of where I live now...my brain doesn't work on Mondays I think!)

By not being able to go to Disney but do nothing but take care of a moody child all on her own while her husband and the father of said child gallivants around the park having fun with others? I know where you're coming from, because I don't care about celebrating my birthday or getting gifts, for birthdays or Xmas, but…

You know what's even creepier! Someone sent me a link to a tweet she sent out the day of the Toronto Mall shooting, she said there was a man dressed as batman at the mall shouting "My parents are dead" and charging tourists to take photos with him. My mind is just so blown and it is just too sad to fathom. She also tweeted…

I'm not sure but my brother is suppose to see it today or tomorrow and he said in his city cops are going to be at the theaters.

I just learned that one of the people killed in this tragedy was a survivor of the Toronto Mall shooting. She's the only publicly known victim so far. Here is her blog post about the Toronto shooting she wrote just a few weeks ago. http://jessicaredfield.wordpress.com/ How very, very sad!

Congrats on making it to the second interview!

I use to frequent a hot yoga studio that was in a strip mall next door to a frozen yogurt place, a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese buffet, and some local southern fare restaurant. It's also very close to a bunch of other bad for you food places. I heard the Mexican place was really good too =\

Maybe she feels you'll lose the weight, find a girlfriend and not be her friend anymore? Or not be as close of a friend anymore? Either way, no offense to your friend, but her comment was very selfish.

I meant support as in, try to support them to do it a better way. Personally, the few threads I have seen of people talk about such low calorie diets, there are plenty of people who pipe up against it. Unfortunately, those threads degenerate fast into bickering between the two camps. But that's what I mean, you can support…

Don't feel crappy! (easier said than done I know!) In times like this, I just try to give a little extra at the gym the next day...sometimes the next two days haha.

Usually I remember how crappy I feel after a binge, and that usually stops me. No food is worth what I feel like afterwards. But I agree with allowing a cheat day/meal. I allow myself a cheat meal every now and again and I don't feel guilty or badly towards myself at all about it.

CNN is now reporting that the theater's back door was propped open. I need to stop reading the reports, I just started crying at work reading the last one with more witness accounts.

I guess I was more or less wondering if the Batman movie was just random, knowing it would be a packed house, or if there's some bizarre reason he chose that movie. I know that sounds stupid, but I did wonder that.
