My solution? I used the qualifications and training they had provided, to secure a position with a competitor company for a much…

I could never be that lucky!

In the UK we are typically paying £1.27 per litre (Your equivilent to $2.13 per litre). A gallon equals 4.55 litres, so at our price, a gallon of petrol (gas) costs us £5.78) and in your currency $9.69. Don't worry, you have a long way to go before your fuel costs come anywhere close to ours!!!

Is he so unsure of your love for him, that he fears if you improve your health and appearrance in the eyes of other men, that he will lose you to one of them? Time for a sit down heart to heart I think.

They are weights lifted in one action from the floor! Only to be tried by the trained, as severe injury can be occassioned if you are not careful.

If you are eating less than your exercise level warrants and are accurately recording it,, whatever happened to the much vaunted "starvation mode" that is supposed to kick in when you body does not receive enough nutrition? Personally I think, if you are not unhealthy or ailing and your body is still losing, then you have…

I doubt a Professional is saying something just to cause you ire! Clearly they believe they are identifying something of note. Put the child first and AT LEAST talk to your GP, rather than wasting time venting your spleen on this website. If the GP says all is ok then great! If he says you have cause to worry, then buy the…

For me, a woman HAS to have heart! (and show it!)

Only my humble opinion, but when you are older, feeble bodied and active of mind, living alone and without visitors (Just about every widow or widower), a TV is a lifeline to keep you aware of the world. Not for nothing is the TV licence free to the aged.. Count your blessings.

Hey! You lost THIRTY-ONE pounds eating it! Buy her a new wardrobe to say thank you , and be greateful !!!!

WHAT? A pizza has MORE than ONE slice???? OMG!

This whole thread has baffled me, by thecomplexity of theattitudes expressed, particularly the "sour" ones. For the record, My diary is open, and I welcome ANY useful and constructive inputs that help me achieve my weight loss. Those beneficial MFP'ers who wish to make comments please do. Those who have no interest in…

Hunh? Rely on the Cafetaria for half of your meals? Lord Sandwich created a very famous invention for this not happen! (No! Not a bag of chips!)

Sounds like a visit to a Podiatrist is called for. They will check your walk and the way you stand. They will then provide you with orthotics (fitted insoles) to rectify any failures in your posture or gait , causing you pain. They may, alternatively identify if you suffer from Plantar Fasciitis caused by "heel spurs" or…

Have you had a check done for low blood pressure? Visit your GP or if in the UK, pop into your Supermarket Pharmacy and get them to check it for you.

Wondered why my ears were burning. Just found you were all talking about me!

From a bloke's point of view I see very little to turn from. I think you are being over self-critical. Go with your boyfriend's view of you and be pleased he is a discerning man.

Be grateful you have been on a low carb diet! Imagine how many carbs you would have eaten if you had not! Accentuate the positive!

They look right! Trust me! They look right!

Losing weight is a test for the rest of your life. It is about re-educating your body to eat well and healthily. Dieting is not a race to see how quick you can finish. Have patience and do the job properly as your mum always taught you.

Must be a slow day if your boss lets you use MFP at work!!!! Why not keep a "tupperware" box of fresh chopped apple and other fruits in the fridge, for when your cravings erupt?

Consider putting oil in the pan, then using paper towel to wipe it round the surface to coat the pan and remove the excess! Minimal use, maximum taste!
