LOL this ^

I love deal-hunting and If you are patient, the Craigslist comment is dead on, you can find weights dirt cheap (10% of retail). The bodyweight comments are probably true for 90%+ of the population as well. You can probably get stronger than would think possible just using household items (milk /laundry jugs etc.) You can…

Aint nobody got time for that

This is a pretty defeating feeling, but try not to let it get to you. Like everybody said, bring something with the app or look ahead of time. My trick is to search the restaurant and start scrolling until I find something low-cal and edible. And while 200 calories might be within the random error margin, if you're on a…

It bums me out when people feel like they have to say, "I know I still have a lot to lose, but here is my really fat pic." Its like they are saying, please don't judge me I'm already judging myself harshly. Everyone on here is working at it. You can only be a better you today than you were yesterday. :) Ok here is my big…

I"m pretty much off the stuff. Agree chocolate dominates. Once you get used to skim though even 2% feels like I can chew it! At the end of the day though I try not to drink calories. A friend and I were comparing our mfp diaries and on basically similar diets the only difference is the coffees, milk, energy drinks, etc.…

As a guy you don't hear it nearly as much, but this to me is the worst of all. "I've gotten the run faster fat *kitten*!" before, and that one to me just sucks. You are working to make yourself better and people are going to attack you? That's just sick. I don't care how morbidly obese the person is, if they are at the…

Wasn't sure, so I asked snopes. It worried me because I probably drink a 6 pack of diet pop a day. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/aspartame.asp Zero cancer, and really any negative implications even in large doses. There is a good deal of sodium, just something to be aware of if you have high blood pressure. As for…

Got it! 9 pounds! Woo hoo!

I think there were some really good suggestions so far, but for myself I decided the answer was yes. It might take a bit longer, but mixing elliptical /walking with lowering your calorie count will help you get down to a weight where your back and knees are more capable of carrying the weight. While the suggestion of…

Exactly 9.4 from my 60 pound goal...and want it by Jan 1! I'm in!

"don't worry about what you eat from Christmas to new years...worry about what you eat from new years to Christmas.." I like this...although I've also found once I start making exceptions its a slippery slope. Suddenly there are more exceptions than there are good days. For me it starts with, just the day of the holiday,…

I think it depends where you live. For years I tried to run outside, but then I noticed a pattern. I'd start running early summer late spring and stop running late fall. I hate cold weather! This probably goes for people who are in extremely hot summer climates too. So I bought myself an gym quality elliptical and a…

The only thing those fries are missing is lots of cheese! And bacon! And then dip them in Ranch!...or since we're "down on the farm" why not just break out the gravy! I'm working on portion control, and I throw in an apple now and again, but sadly I love all this (OK I probably wouldn't do the gravy), and no one will ever…
