I find that there are a lot of semi-healthy options out there these days...Subway stands out in my mind, and most places have decent salads (depending on the salad) or grilled chicken sandwiches...I eat out quite often, and other than the sodium level, and the fact that your calories may vary depending on who makes your…

This thread brought tears to my eyes, because I feel your pain. Earlier this year on the way to work,I had a car full of teenage boys pull up next to mine at a stoplight, open the door of the van they were in, and shout insults at me through my open window, mostly stuff like "Hey, fat ugly b****!!!" No reason for it at…

I absolutely adore ellipticals, but if you want something that will make you really sweat, try a "Tread Climber" They have two little treadmills, one for each foot. It's kind of like a treadmill/elliptical/stepper hybrid. I think it's by BowFlex. I've never had a better workout on a machine.

I love it when a success story makes me go "Whoa!" Great job and stay strong!

Non-Food rewards: Massage, facial, mani/pedi, hair cut/color, clothing or jewelry (LOTS of options there), a night at the movies or something similar, a concert, a tattoo, even a vacation!

What you did with the original poem was quite clever. An enjoyable rewording.

He said in his original post that he hadn't got his exercise in for the day, thus you can't call this behavior "over-exercising" or "exercise bulimia"...he's just doing what he meant to do earlier in the day. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. If he would have said "I've already exercised today, but I feel like I…

Good for you! Looking good! :happy:

I'm a night owl, and for the longest time I had a membership to a 24-hour gym...and yes, I occasionally went when sane people were sleeping.

I do believe this is my new favorite thread.:love: But it totally needs more Johnny Depp. And perhaps some Rodrigo Santoro.:tongue:

...when I have armpit hollows again. Weird but definitely noticeable.:laugh:

I believe the img needs to be lowercase. :) And congrats on your future plans! I wish you luck in all your endeavors!

Sorry for the misunderstanding. It doesn't appear to be enabled on the iPad app as of yet. There are a few things you can only do on the actual website and this seems to be one of them.

If you have an older iPad without a camera, you will not have the scanner. It needs the camera to work.

Be sure you are checking the serving size as well...although most people put in the amount for one serving, occasionally you'll come across counts for a smaller serving size than usual, say a half cup instead of a cup.

Those are great! Anyone else? I also like "Pain is weakness leaving the body." I just have no idea who said it. :laugh:

I am 5'10" and my goal is 175. That's realistic for me. If I get down a little lower, that's great, but never I let anyone else's goals influence my own. You have to do what is right for you, not someone else.

I know, it's frustrating. I use Dancing, since that's really what Zumba is.

Tiramisu.

Love. My. Coffee.

Pale is the new tan. :wink:

Great big hugs to you! You can do this, don't give up! You're so close!

This is exactly what I was thinking as well.

Of course! Pronounced Neh Vay Da, Not Neh Vah Da, right? :wink:

Here too! :) *waves at all my MO peeps*

I just wanted to say there are some great replies in here. It's all about learning how to eat right, getting a feel for how much your body needs.

Ice cream, if I get one of those little pints I feel like I have to finish it in one sitting.

I feel just awful if I don't eat a little protein before I work out. I get light-headed and wear out a lot quicker. Each person is different so experiment and see what works for you.

Distract yourself. Make yourself too busy to snack. You might even forget the food is there.

I'm so proud of you! I got the same diagnosis a few weeks ago, and it inspired me to change my life! So glad to see you've gotten results, it gives me hope that I can turn around my diagnosis as well! Stay strong!
